The Korean film 'The Intern,' starring Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee, is generating buzz with its confirmed release on September 16. This remake adapts the 2015 Hollywood hit, originally starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, to Korean cultural contexts. The film has already achieved the top spot in Korean movie pre-sale rankings, indicating high anticipation.
The story centers on Sun-woo (Han So-hee), the young CEO of the fashion brand 'WOO22' which achieved 10 billion won in sales within three years, and Ki-ho (Choi Min-sik), a senior intern with 37 years of career experience joining her company. Directed by Kim Do-young, the film runs for 132 minutes and is rated for ages 12 and up. It maintains the original's core premise while incorporating contemporary Korean workplace dynamics and intergenerational narratives.
Bloggers have highlighted Choi Min-sik's profound acting and Han So-hee's diverse fashion as key attractions. They also noted the film's warm message about communication and empathy between different generations, recommending it as a comfortable and non-provocative viewing experience for those seeking heartwarming stories.
