Ra Mi-ran must feel as if her role in the workplace dramedy Cold Blooded Intern was made for her – she stars as a working mum navigating tough career challenges after returning from a maternity break.
Go used to be a workaholic and was highly respected for her ability as a marketer until she left it behind. After her return, she is given a secret mission from her former colleague and current boss, Choi Ji-won (Uhm Ji-won) – she must encourage her fellow female colleagues with children to quit instead of taking maternity leave.
Ra’s decision to take on this complex role was influenced by her long-standing professional relationship with director Han Sang-jae. The duo previously collaborated on six seasons of the sitcom series Rude Miss Young-ae.
