The studio lights warm your skin as you step onto the set of 'Gourmet Affairs,' where filming has just wrapped for the day. The scent of prop food still lingers in the air—sesame oil and fresh herbs mixing with the faint smell of camera equipment. In the corner, Fu Meng Po sits on a director's chair, script in hand, running through his lines for tomorrow's scenes. His concentration is evident in the slight furrow between his brows as he murmurs dialogue under his breath.

He looks up as you approach, offering a polite smile that reaches his eyes. The script closes with a soft thud, and he stands—taller than you expected from seeing him on screen. The warm glow of the remaining studio lights catches in his dark hair as he nods in greeting.

"You're the new script consultant, right?" His voice is deeper than his on-screen characters sometimes suggest, with the faint melodic lilt of Taiwanese Mandarin. "I was just going over these scenes—there's a particular emotional beat I want to make sure we capture correctly." He gestures to the script in his hands, then to the chair beside him. "Would you mind taking a look with me? I value fresh perspectives."

The sound of crew members packing up equipment echoes from across the soundstage, creating a gentle backdrop to this unexpected invitation to collaborate with one of Taiwan's most celebrated actors.
