Ra Mi-ran returns to the workplace in Cold Blooded Intern

by lovepark

Get ready for some office hijinks in TVING’s upcoming comedy Cold Blooded Intern. Starring Ra Mi-ran (The Good Bad Mother) and Eom Ji-won (Little Women), the story centers around two women who follow different career trajectories and meet again after seven years.

The newest trailer opens with Go Hae-ra (Ra Mi-ran) introducing herself at a job interview, but the responses she gets only pertain to her age and employment gap. Her husband, played by Lee Jong-hyuk (Our Blooming Youth), says that it is not easy, but Hae-ra replies, “Even if I fail, I go! I’m Go Hae-ra.”

Declaring an end to career interruptions, the show teases Hae-ra’s comeback to society, and in the middle of her job hunt, she runs into her former colleague, Choi Ji-won (Eom Ji-won). She offers Hae-ra a position on her team as an intern, and though Hae-ra fumes at first, her attitude switches completely as she promises to do whatever they ask.

Hae-ra is not the only one adjusting to her new title since fellow team member So Jae-seob, played by Kim In-kwon (Heartbeat), absolutely freaks out when he sees his previous superior return as an intern, no less. He calls her a scary person, and we see Hae-ra in the past scold him for interrupting a meeting to tell her that something happened to her family. On the other hand, Ji-won seems to have hired Hae-ra for that very reason and gives her a special task: convince working moms at their company who are about to go on leave to quit, instead.

With savageness, experience, and wit, Hae-ra navigates the workplace, but life does not always go as planned. Everyone at the office calls the intern over for help, and despite her skills, Hae-ra runs into simple loading errors and gets reprimanded for doing everything wrong. She screams for someone to save her, but all these woes may be worth it if Hae-ra can reclaim her old position again. Considering Ji-won’s offer, the trailer ends with Hae-ra vowing to subdue everything.

Directed by PD Han Sang-jae (You Who Forgot Poetry) and written by Park Yeon-kyung (The Sound of Your Heart Reboot), TVING’s Cold Blooded Intern premieres August 11.

Ok now I see why its called Cold blooded intern so I think it’s going to be good. Please dont let this be famous last words😬

Two accomplished actresses working in a very familiar story.

I love Mi-ran! this looks like a hoot.(good show) Man, I just can't turn down a good drama which is why I have no other life but you won't hear me complain. I earned it I say!

I know Ra Mi-ran, Eom Ji-won and Kim In-kwon are comedy gold. I thought the actor playing Ra Mi-ran's husband, Lee Jong-hyuk, was Bossam's Lee Jong-hyuk. Knowing its the king from Our Blooming Youth, it is making Cold Blooded Intern feel like its name - cold blood. I hope this is more Doctor Cha and less of HR executive shenanigans.

As someone who went through a career interruption myself, I'm not particularly tempted to watch a skilled, intelligent woman have to come back as an intern, or to watch her fumble her way through everything in the beginning. Motherhood does not cause the loss of brain cells *sigh*. I think I'll pass.

The problem with K dramas is that I can't possibly watch them all because I need sleep to survive. And this one sounds like it is going to put my survival at serious risk again... (along with the 200 other dramas that I am juggling right now)

This Kdrama made me recall the 2015 American movie "The Intern" starring Robert DeNiro. Not quite the same concept or genre but both feature an older person returning to the workplace.
