A light hearted watch with a great mix of fun and struggles.
The tables are turned on a manager who once bullied and mistreated a young intern... what goes around really did come around and initially it felt good!
However, through various events and struggles, all concerned get life lessons that open their eyes and enable them to grow.
This is not intended to be a heavy watch with messages and depth, but it is touching, quite positive and with more than a few giggles.
I loved the characters of Han-gil and Oh-kyung/ Anasatisia (snr interns), who show that older people aren't necessarily dull, can still be sharp (and in the case of Oh-kyung, attractive too), plus have lived fascinating lives... no one is born old, it comes to everyone and people should be judged on their character not age.
Another favourite was intern Yoon-soo, whose character faced numerous challenges and whilst he made several bad judgement calls, faced up to it each time.
Jun-soo (especially) and Man-shik, were characters that I couldn't help but like, even though the former was spoilt and and tried to manipulate people, and the latter was often egotistical and beligerant!
I'd have liked a little more romance between Yeol-chan and Tae-ri, which seemed imminent on several occasions, but never really delivered.
I thought this role was a little different for Park Hae-jin, as neither smug, cold or cocky, although a stubborn and vengeful side came out when he felt both threatened and lacking in confidence. He played this really well.
The office environment contained the mix of people and irritations that many will be able to relate to, but loyalty is there too.
The music (mostly Trot) really suited the series and what it was about.
Not to be taken seriously, but enjoyed, which I did!
