Actress Jeon Hye-jin adds to her life work with 'Riding Life.'
Jeon Hye-jin encounters a working mom character similar to herself and delivers a 200% relatable performance. Attention is focused on Jeon Hye-jin's working mom role in the Genie TV original drama 'Riding Life,' which will be first released on March 3 (directed by Kim Cheol-kyu, written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by Betty & Creators), as it is expected to become her life work.
Having taken on charismatic roles such as a police officer, agent, and career woman in various works, Jeon Hye-jin has left a deep impression on the public by embodying a wide range of characters. Recently, she received praise for her unique transformation as a clueless mother in her previous Genie TV original drama 'Nam Nam.' Following the successful transformation in 'Nam Nam,' she will take on a more realistic and relatable role in 'Riding Life,' aiming to garner even greater empathy from viewers. Expectations are high, especially since this character is considered to resonate more broadly than any other role Jeon Hye-jin has played.
'Riding Life' is a drama depicting the 'nagging' daily life of a passionate working mom, Jeong-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin), who is preparing for the 7th grade entrance exam while entrusting her daughter, Ji-a (played by Jo Min-soo), with academy riding lessons. In the previously released highlight video, Jeon Hye-jin heightened expectations with her realistic portrayal of a working mom.
It portrayed a mother's day filled with work while taking care of her 7-year-old daughter, Seo-yoon (played by Kim Sa-rang), in a way that was impossible to look away from. Additionally, it humorously depicted Jeong-eun's efforts to ensure her daughter's acceptance into an elite elementary school, bringing smiles to viewers. The character's relatability hints at the reasons behind Jeon Hye-jin's choice of this project.
At the production briefing, Jeon Hye-jin noted, "As a mother with a keen interest in education, I was drawn to the story. I want to support mothers who are doing their best. The path may sometimes diverge, and looking back, we might regret some choices, but I hope that watching 'Riding Life' provides encouragement." This heartfelt articulation of her reasons for choosing the role has brought anticipation for the drama and character that will offer solace and support.
The Genie TV original drama 'Riding Life,' which is expected to be Jeon Hye-jin's life work, will premiere on Monday, March 3, at 10 p.m. on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA.
