Park Min May 01 2024 2:04 pm It's a decent short drama but far from perfect and too many problems held it back. Although it was meant to be on a lighter tone and considering its short format, the drama was passing through a lot of social and workplace problems too quickly despite the drama establishing depth to some of the characters. It created some disconnect and cohesion problems along the way. A possible easy fix to the problem is having it turned into a full 12-16 episodes regular drama. The characters and their archetypes were well established and fit well in their respective roles. There was a lot of potentials to be had in the first place. Another victim to its shorter runtime was the last stretch of the story, in particular the last 2 episodes. It presented the final points of tension and jumped to the resolution very quickly and abruptly. Although it's a decent watch but at the end it was a wasted potentials.
TMM Dec 13 2023 11:30 pm Made it to Episode 7 but giving up. This work culture is ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm American, but I can't understand how work culture can be this openly terrible. The characters are all either sketchy, over-the-top power hungry, or timid and can't make decisions. Tried to make it where they was some character development but no one changes.
Shandy Oct 02 2023 7:33 am That ending lol. What happened to the baby? Did she get an abortion? It didn't make sense at all. This drama should have 1 more episode.
Whyyy writer jeez! It has so much potential but the ending sucks!
NGS Sep 17 2023 5:13 pm I love the story, but . The ending . Urgh. I love it but so many things left unexplained and unsolved. Like suddenly jiwoon become less important character, i would like to know her future, her love life, so She lost her baby again? Or what? What happened after eating with the man?
And for HaeRa, I would like to know about the husband and the kids and her future and etc.
Are they gonna have s2 or what? So they left the story like this?
Aimen Sep 17 2023 11:39 am I didn't know I'd say this, but I'd Love A Season 2....This drama was Amazzzzing.....The chemistry between the actors were amazing....The end felt rushed but I guess it makes a path for season 2 easier...I'll miss Go Intern and especially her family sm...!!!!!!!!!!!!
M Sep 16 2023 2:37 pm Wow episode 12 was so bad and it's like written by a completely different person.. I was surprised at how Jiwon suddenly became a much less important role in this episode but for me her story arc is much better than Haera's. I was hoping Haera would give a heartfelt apology to Jiwon in the last episode, She's the reason why Jiwon changed her personality! At least Haera got her karma when she reunited with the new CEO.
M Sep 10 2023 10:57 am It's a very refreshing take on adult topics such as going back to work after long hiatus, sexism culture at work, choosing a non-traditional line of work (Yiyoung's aspiration to become a tattoo artist), female breadwinner in the family, female rivalry/camaraderie in the workplace, and work-life imbalance. The drama is mature, well-acted, and quite realistic, although I'd like to see more improvement in Haera and Yiyoung's relationship.
Mentari Sep 06 2023 2:16 am This drama hits differently as I am also in my 40s and must go back to working in a corporate world soon. Watching the drama is a therapy for me :)
Jp Aug 26 2023 5:34 am I dont feel any sympathy for go hae ra but not for jiwon too. Hae ra was a scumbag in old job and caused so much damage to people that they are still traumatized and she is still living good job. Wasnt that super shocking that she told her old coworker who is also her current coworker mr so that what should she do when he comes running telling her his child has burnt, sorry that shows she was a horrible scumbag. As if jiwon now, her past is sad but wht she is doing now is her fault, she is a grownup person who is taking out her past pain on innocent women. She shouldbt have hired hae ra in the 1st place.
Gosh the way i hate hae ra i cant tell, so what if she has changed, will it ever change lives of those people she damaged in the past?
Aimen Aug 11 2023 9:14 am So, we are getting two episodes in one day...wahhhhhhh
Betty Aug 07 2023 1:39 am Will watch it..Ra Mi Ran is my idol now
ks Jul 28 2023 6:46 pm @Momo, How does it end ? (I didn't even finish it, it started to get annoying). By the way, if you are going to answer my question, put a disclaimer like SPOILER so others won't be spoiled. Peace !!
Momo Jul 27 2023 9:10 am Looks interesting, I just hope it doesn't end up like doctor cha...
