Review by refordgarry

Office ice maiden boss in her heyday now attempts to rejoin the super-tough office scene, but now as a middle-aged woman. I like how the writers constructed the terrible choices Mi-Ran (played by Hae-Ra Go) had to face in order to overcome the scourge of age discrimination and to regain her former position as a regular office day worker, but with Mi-Ran having made a pact with the devil in her youth, that should make that transition easy? But has age, maybe made this maiden too mellow and apologetic with her intervening years and experiences? I really enjoyed the tension provided by this difficult situation, welcoming the inclusion of her middle-aged husband and young daughter into this morass, showing off the iniquity of insensitive office culture in all its colors, not limited to just female staff and recommend the drama as a good, short, mid-quality series.

Overall impressions of Cold Blooded Intern, however do fall short of initial expectations, maybe due to its 12-episode brevity - but there lurks that suspicion of a bad juxtapositioning of ages in casting the not-so-young Mi-Ran Ra directly opposite the glamorous and deliciously vengeful office boss-lady Ji-Won Choi, (played by Ji-Won Uhm) when surely two closer-aged actresses would have appealed to a wider audience? Preferable to think the writers overruled the advertising executives in this, making it easier to award this drama an 8 score, when it probably deserves a 7.
