Ra Mi-ran becomes Eom Ji-won’s Cold Blooded Intern
by tccolb
After parting ways with her pig farm last month, it’s time for Ra Mi-ran (The Good Bad Mother) to shed those rubber gloves and suit up for the corporate world – along with Eom Ji-won (Little Women) – in TVING’s new office comedy Cold Blooded Intern (previously Cruel Intern).
The story has Ra Mi-ran playing the role of Go Hae-ra, who was once a relentless workaholic with a successful career. But with the same passion, she threw down her resignation to spend more time caring for her family. Seven years passed in a blink of an eye, and although Hae-ra is now wanting to return to work, it’s an uphill battle despite her experience and skills. As such, she’s quick to accept an opportunity to work with her old colleague again, even if means starting over as an intern.
Said colleague is the sophisticated and charismatic Choi Ji-won (Eom Ji-won) who is now the head of product development and a company bigshot. But the savvy Ji-won can see that she’s reached a glass ceiling in her career growth. After taking Hae-ra under her wing as an intern in her division, the story then follows our two heroines as Ji-won secretly approaches Hae-ra to offer an enticing but scary deal.
Directed by PD Han Sang-jae (You Who Forgot Poetry, Rude Miss Young-ae) with scripts penned by Park Yeon-kyung (The Sound of Your Heart Reboot), TVING’s new series Cold Blooded Intern will be launching next month on August 11.

this is a great concept to show life doesnt end when you have run full circle, it´s just the next round. The generational difference in work ethics and motivations and prejudice and then, do we still have something to learn when we think we know how to play? There was a korean idiom I just read, even on a familiar road, ask for directions. Im curious and assuming by the name cold bloded that she is not quite willing to do that

Entertainment industries are copycats. Are we going to have a run of older interns coming back into the work force dramas (like the successful Dr. Cha)?

I know. At least give us a cooling off period, RMR.

I hope not mad at RMR but at that exasperating character from the drama that we shall not name ever again?

Yes! Kidding, but also it might take me some time to cool down from that. I sometimes find it hard to let go of associations between actors and particularly disliked characters.
I'm not sure I want to spend 12 episodes dealing with the same ageism/sexism double-whammy I see every day at the office, but I trust RMR to overcome it if anyone can.

If you would just go ahead and ride a motorcycle like Dr. Cha you will show everybody you are your own woman, and have shaken off any ageism and sexism you might have experienced.
I could be wrong, but I think this show is really going to be different from Dr. Cha, in that at the end, the character played by Ra Mi-Ran will not just ride a motorcycle, she'll ALSO get a tattoo, and the tattoo will be defiantly feminist, like "Kickass Girl" in flowery cursive.

Are you making things up about RMR being on “Dr Cha” as I haven’t watched it? Is this disinformation?

@dncingemma I believe the Dr. Cha reference is because of similar themes rather than anything to do with actors.

Btw, I wasn’t actually accusing you of disinformation. Ok, just a bit.

@dncingemma I was just making my usual strained attempt at humor by noting the similarity of this plot to that of Dr. Cha. Also tried to make a joke about the limits of kdrama feminism, but that wasn't very funny.

You still have a high rate of hitting the “humour” nail on the head! I was just teasing you.

I completely get that. I find it quite hard at times to do that too.There is an actor who played a serial killer and I’ve found it hard to watch him in other things ever since.

I feel you sometimes I need take a break for gender war themed drama. Like "you don't have to remind me Show!" or I'm living my life pretty genderlessly, so sometime "what are you talking about Show??"

Not rational but I still hate Ahn Bo Hyun from Itaewon Class and can’t even remember why I hate the actress playing Taec’s first love in Heartbeat, I wonder what I saw her in to dislike her so.

She played the younger version of the FL in My Love Eun Dong, and I thought she was adorable there. She’s never made the leap to FL though. She had a cameo in BTIOFL as the FL in the drama within a drama and Doojoon was the ML on the PPL Segway that Jung So-min’s character was the writer for. She was also a girl in a coma ghost on Ghost Doctor. I don’t remember her in an antagonistic lead, but maybe she was a bully school girl before these shows. That would make her pretty unlikable. I also don’t know why I remember her in every drama I’ve seen her in. 😂

I guess I’m glad I never saw Itawon class because I first saw Ahn Bo Hyun in Yumi’s cells. Then second in Young Actors’ Retreat and he was just so affable with his Itawon cast mates.

Ah ha! Ok, I looked her up and found it - she was a manipulative gold digger in Marriage Not Dating! I don’t trust her now because of that 🤦🏼♀️ funny. IRL she appears to be a big brainiac who went to KAIST for chemical and biomedical engineering 👍🏼

Ra Mi Ran and Eom Ji Won in a girl power office comedy? Yes, please. (As long as it is, as advertised, an actual office comedy, but who knows…)

Ugh. From the plot description, the association I made was with Kkondae Intern, which I quit after just two episodes. I’m assuming/hoping that this show will be very different in tone.
