Kkondae Intern is an adorable little show that I wish got more recognition. It’s not an amazing story, and it’s not particularly addicting, but it’s got a low-key charm and great characters and I actually really liked it. This was initially on my radar, because of Park Hae-jin, who I love. But I actually started watching it because of Park Ki-woong, because I missed him after finishing Gaksital.

Ramen felt a lot more important while watching this. Park Hae-jin made me believe his love for it.
The characters and the story were a little ridiculous, but I was sad to see it end. I’ve got a renewed love for Park Hae-jin, but he’s not the only person I was watching for. Every scene had a reason to watch, whether or not he was there.

Cast/Characters:

It takes a while for you to get a sense of the characters, especially the main lead, but once you do it’s a fun ride. Park Hae-jin is great in comedy, which was unexpected, because I’ve only seen him play low-key and high-key sociopaths (and also a sad second lead, but I don’t count that one because he was boring). He’s also got great chemistry with Kim Eung-soo, and I would totally watch a 50 episode sitcom about them living together, working together, and being grumpy together.

Park Ki-woong’s outfits cracked me up. Yep that’s all.

Honestly, a lot of the supporting cast is forgettable, with the exception of Han Ji-eun and Noh Jong-hyun (the “main” supporting cast, I guess). I really liked the two of them and their storylines.

The OST:

I kind of love the music in this show. I’d get really hyped when certain songs started playing. The OST isn’t amazing, but it really works with this show, and it made me laugh in its own right.

Final thoughts: Y'all should totally watch this if it seems like your thing. It's only 12 hours long, so not a super long time commitment, and it made me smile.
