Jeon Hye-jin needs a new sitter in Riding Life

by lovepark

Promotions continue over at ENA for its upcoming family drama Riding Life. Starring Jeon Hye-jin (Not Others) as the busy matriarch and Kim Sa-rang as her young daughter , the show focuses on the challenges of raising a child in the modern world with an emphasis on early childhood education.

After her daughter’s sitter unceremoniously tenders her resignation and leaves the group chat, working mom Lee Jung-eun (Jeon Hye-jin) is left in a lurch. Her daily schedule changes, starting with a 7:30 AM wake-up time that leads to a thirty minute rush of getting ready and out the door for preschool. Our heroine, though, lives in the city – specifically, the affluent neighborhood Daechi-dong in Gangnam – which means the car ride to school is riddled with traffic.

By the time Jung-eun clocks into the office, it is already way past the hour, and no amount of “there was a collision on the road” excuses work with her boss. Unfortunately, dropping off her daughter Hong Seo-yoon (Kim Sa-rang) is just the start of the day since she needs to go to her after-school lessons as well. Jung-eun’s usual lunch break turns into more rides, and she realizes that this current arrangement is not feasible long-term.

While seeking advice on where to look for a new sitter, Jung-eun is told that a precious person will arrive. Cue Jung-eun’s mother Yoon Ji-ah played by Jo Min-soo (The Cursed). After Jung-eun drops by with Seo-yoon in tow, Ji-ah gets roped into the drop-off/pick-up schedule, but the mother-daughter pair don’t exactly see eye-to-eye on parenting.

Ji-ah believes kids will grow up fine on their own, but Jung-eun argues that her daughter’s peers are already preparing for the future and ahead of the curve. As a mom, Jung-eun will not let her daughter fall behind and tells Seo-yoon to hold tight as she carries her to school.

Written by Sung Yoon-ah and Jo Won-dong with PD Kim Chul-gyu (Celebrity) at the helm, ENA’s Riding Life is slated for eight episodes and premieres March 3 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
