Quick Synopsis

Four lifelong friends—Tae-jeong, Do-jin, Yeon-min, and Geum-bok—have always dreamed of taking a memorable trip abroad together, but various life responsibilities and obstacles prevented them from doing so. Now older and facing the realities of adulthood, they finally set out on the long-postponed journey. What was meant to be a relaxed and enjoyable vacation quickly becomes complicated by a series of unexpected problems, comical mishaps, and the resurfacing of old feelings and unresolved tensions among them. As they navigate these challenges, their first trip together evolves into a meaningful and unforgettable experience that tests and strengthens their friendship.

Detailed Synopsis of The First Ride

Planned as a carefree getaway, however, the trip derails into a whirlwind of unexpected chaos, hilariously absurd detours, and buried emotions resurfacing. As they stumble through misadventures, their first ride together turns into a spectacular journey—one for the ages.
