First Reactions: Cineplay Reporters' Star Ratings for 〈Intern〉

Kim Ji-yeon Reporter
and 2 reporters

[First Reactions]

A fresh pairing of Choi Min-sik as a silver intern and Han So-hee as a workaholic CEO arrives in the Korean film 〈Intern〉, which opens Sept. 16. 〈Intern〉 tells an office-life story that transcends both generations and rank, beginning when Gi-ho, a silver intern with 37 years of career experience, joins the company run by Sun-woo, who has emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry just three years after its launch. Here is how Cineplay reporters reacted after the press screening.

Joo Sung-chul / ★★★ / What the film gains by making the original's female CEO slightly younger

Kim Ji-yeon / ★★★ / A fantasy that feels more grounded through its take on married life, workplace ambition and office politics

Sung Chan-eol / ★★★ / A fitting localization that emerges after shedding the original's lingering shadow of death
