With “Internship Diary”, The Trainee comes to an end. This final episode was quiet and understated, much like the rest of the series, focusing on the growth of the characters rather than anything flashy or dramatic. (Well…) Even though it featured a time skip, which I usually hate, I felt like it made sense in the context of this series. It was important to show us how the future turned out for these characters.| The Geekiary
“The Grown-Up Battlefield” continues to field test our intrepid interns as they are brought on location to shoot the ad they’ve been working on the past couple of days. The Trainee is really delivering on a realistic workplace series that I feel like everyone can relate to, even if you don’t work in production.| The Geekiary
Since I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of Thai BLs, I’ve found myself more immersed in that fandom. I even follow GMMTV on Twitter AND Instagram, which is just ridiculous, but it allows me to keep abreast of upcoming shows. I kind of like watching along with the rest of the audience, rather than discovering a show two years late and then scrambling to catch up.| The Geekiary
So I thought I knew what to expect from The Trainee after last week’s episode, but “Important Role” pleasantly surprised me. The complexity of the characters is really quite fascinating, and I’m loving that we get to see the different dynamics at play.| The Geekiary
This episode may well have been called “The Apology Tour” rather than “The Chosen One”, because so many characters make apologies for various reasons. Pah in particular spends a lot of his time this episode apologizing. This goes a long way toward growth and character development, and continues to put The Trainee head and shoulders above other series when it comes to communication.| The Geekiary
As we roll into the home stretch of The Trainee, we are getting some serious movement in Jane and Ryan’s relationship. The interns have only a month left at the company, and things are finally starting to happen. The slow burn is burning, y’all. But that could cause some serious problems, as we find out in “Time Bomb”.| The Geekiary
We are approaching the home stretch, y’all. “Intern’s Magical Powers” is the beginning of the end, and it’s time to start wrapping things up. There were some plot swirls (not calling them twists) that were definitely unexpected. And Jane and Ryan are creeping ever closer to a relationship. I love a good slow burn, but this is starting to feel glacial.| The Geekiary
