An Unlikely Mentorship: Plot & Characters
‘The Intern’ introduces us to a fascinating premise: a 37-year industry veteran finds himself starting anew as an intern. His new workplace? The dynamic company of a young female CEO whose fashion startup has become an industry sensation just three years after its launch. This refreshing take on generational differences and professional dynamics is a Korean remake of the popular Hollywood film of the same name.
Choi Min Sik, known for his powerful and versatile performances, takes on the role of Ki Ho, the seasoned veteran intern. Opposite him, Han So Hee, a rising star celebrated for her diverse roles, portrays Sun Woo, the rookie CEO confidently leading her company in its third year. The newly unveiled poster perfectly captures their contrasting worlds, showing Ki Ho beaming with excitement for his first day, while Sun Woo exudes a sleek, professional confidence, hinting at the delightful friction and eventual bond between them.
First Trailer Teases Hilarious Chemistry
The recently released first trailer for ‘The Intern’ offers an exciting glimpse into the film’s humor and heart. We see Ki Ho interviewing with Vice President Young Hwan, played by Kim Jun Han. When asked about his strengths and weaknesses, Ki Ho doesn’t miss a beat, impressing with his witty and self-assured responses that prove experience truly speaks volumes.
The preview also emphasizes Ki Ho’s journey of adapting to his new workplace environment. Despite his vast experience and seasoned professional background, he must navigate the challenges of starting from the bottom as the company’s newest recruit – a true test of humility and resilience.
Meanwhile, Sun Woo, the young CEO, initially finds herself in a humorous predicament, feeling uncomfortable with Ki Ho being assigned to work directly under her. A funny moment in the trailer sees her looking at his résumé photo and jokingly remarking, “Who is this intimidating-looking man?”
However, the trailer quickly teases the duo’s unpredictable and captivating chemistry. Ki Ho politely introduces himself, embodying respect and professionalism, while Sun Woo candidly admits, “I don’t get along with any adults.” This sets the stage for a charming exploration of how two seemingly disparate individuals find common ground and connection.
‘The Intern’ is set to open in theaters on September 16, promising a unique blend of drama, comedy, and heartwarming moments perfect for the holiday season. Don’t miss this must-watch film!
