The Trainee

12 episodes · 2024

Ryan begins an internship with an eccentric group of colleagues and a stern senior, Jane.

The internship turned out to be not as beautiful as he imagined. Ryan has to work on impromptu briefs and search for extra talent, as he also has to deal with super strict senior AD, Jane.

Shooting day has come. All interns join the battlefield which does not always go according to plan. At least, Ryan learned how to tie shoelaces and take responsibility for his own duty.

Being on set was like being at war, but post-production is even more difficult. Tae breaks the hard disk that was supposed to be handed over to Jane, Pie is called to talk about yesterday's incident. So, how do interns deal with it?

Another task has to be done. The interns learn many things, from basic knowledge of their position, facing real work struggles, and getting to know their mentors better.

Apart from facing struggles during his internship, Ryan has to face different feelings towards Jane. Since he wasn't sure what it was, Pie told him 7-check love to help him confirm his own feelings.

Sometimes, new feelings that emerge can cause disruption. Tae and Ba-Mhee find themselves in chaos right on their anniversary, while Ryan must accept the consequences of his work mistakes.

It's another day for Ryan to run around during filming with untied shoelaces, as Tae and Ba-Mhee need to sort out their conflicted feelings with the help of their emotional supporters, Pah and Pie.

Things are heating up at GoodPick. Jane's ex, Nine, visits him and makes Ryan overthink everything. Ba-Mhee and Pah constantly bicker during work, while Tae is still heartbroken in his room.

Jane suddenly shows up at Ryan's house and starts doing silly things together as their feelings grow. On the other side of the office, Pah gathers a whole squad for a mission to help Tae get Ba-Mhee back.

What if the interns suddenly find out that Ryan likes Jane? But when Ryan wants to clarify their relationship, Jane is nowhere to be found. Will something be revealed later, or will new problems arise?
