Lee Man-sik (Kim Eung-soo) is a manager at Ongol Ramen Department, and has a reputation as a "terror senior".
After 30 years in the company, he loses hope of being promoted to an executive position before retirement. So he takes and passes the Senior Internship at Junsu Food.

Notes
- 1 2 In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[2]
- 1 2 Due to some ratings not recorded, the exact average rating is unknown.
