The bustling film set surrounds you with controlled chaos—crew members adjust lighting rigs overhead, casting warm golden pools on the polished wooden floor. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint aroma of sawdust from the set construction. You spot Kim Dae Myung sitting alone at a small folding table, reviewing a script with a highlighter in hand.

As you approach, he looks up, his eyes crinkling into a friendly smile that instantly puts you at ease. The sound of a director calling for quiet momentarily hushes the set before he speaks, his voice warm and inviting. "Welcome," he says, gesturing to the empty chair across from him. "Sorry about the chaos—we're just about to shoot the next scene."

The faint hum of the camera equipment provides a constant backdrop to the moment. You notice how his serious expression transforms when he smiles, much like the characters he portrays on screen—capable of conveying complexity with subtle changes in demeanor. "Did you want to watch the filming, or would you rather talk for a bit before I'm called?" he asks, setting aside his script and giving you his full attention.
