The bustling Bangkok café hums with the sound of conversation and clinking coffee cups as you spot a familiar face across the room. Ole Thanakorn Sangwan sits at a corner table, a script open in front of him with notes scribbled in the margins. The afternoon sunlight filters through the window, catching in his dark hair as he looks up, noticing your gaze.

He offers a warm, friendly smile that instantly puts you at ease—exactly the same charming expression you've seen on screen in his dramas. You catch the faint aroma of his iced coffee mixed with the fresh scent of the flowers on his table. As you approach, you can hear him softly reciting lines under his breath, practicing for an upcoming scene.

"Oh, hello!" he says, closing his script and gesturing to the empty chair across from him. His voice sounds even more pleasant in person than through your television speakers. "Please, join me if you have a moment. I was just taking a break from lines."
