[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actors Ra Mi-ran and Um Ji-won meet in 'Cruel Intern.'

On the 17th, the online video service (OTT) TVING announced the casting of Ra Mi-ran and Um Ji-won for the new original series 'Cruel Intern' (written by Park Yeon-kyung, directed by Han Sang-jae).

'Cruel Intern' depicts the process of a woman in her 40s who returns to work as an intern after a 7-year break from the workplace, enduring and surviving once again in a jungle-like society.

Directed by Han Sang-jae, who directed 'Mischievous Young-ae' and 'To You Who Forgot Poetry,' and written by Park Yeon-kyung of 'Sound of Your Heart.'

Ra Mi-ran and Um Ji-won reunite after 9 years since the film 'Wish' (2013). Ra Mi-ran plays Go Hae-ra, who jumps into the reemployment front to regain her forgotten name and position after 7 years. She resigned from a thriving job to focus on childcare and now seeks reemployment after 7 years.

Um Ji-won plays Choi Ji-won, a cold poker face with charisma and leadership who spares no effort to survive in the workplace. She meets her former company colleague Hae-ra, who applied as a new employee, at the interview and hires her as an intern on her team, then makes a sweet yet cruel proposal.

TVING stated, "We will delicately and entertainingly portray the empathetic narrative of career-interrupted women facing the cruel reality of reemployment in their 40s, and office workers who lost themselves while running forward to break the glass ceiling."
