STUDIO
Based on a popular webtoon, “Friendly Rivalry” is set at Chaehwa Girls’ High School, an elite institution for the top one percent in South Korea, where fierce academic competition takes place. The story centers on Woo Seul Gi (Jung Soo Bin), a transfer student who becomes entangled in her classmates’ hidden ambitions amid the school’s fierce competition. To add to the intrigue, the drama explores the mysterious death of Seul Gi’s father, a former college entrance exam question maker.
Hyeri plays Yoo Jae Yi, a top 0.1 percent student who has never lost her first place ranking and has significant influence at Chehwa School. Jung Soo Bin plays Woo Seul Gi, a transfer student from a provincial orphanage who quickly attracts Jae Yi’s attention. While Jae Yi seems to extend a hand of kindness to Seul Gi, the question remains: is it out of genuine goodwill or hidden intentions?
The newly released poster intensifies the intrigue, with Seul Gi standing and Jae Yi behind her, resting his head on her shoulder. This composition gives a clue to its dynamics.
To add to the mystery, the poster is decorated with thought-provoking phrases: “Do you think it’s genuine?” appears on Seul Gi’s face, while “Do you think it’s good will?” It’s written on Jae Yi’s. These lines provoke a complex psychological battle between sincerity and hidden motives in their intertwined story.
“Friendly Rivalry” is scheduled to premiere on February 10.
