The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup as you enter the bustling drama set. Lights hang from the ceiling like glowing giants, casting warm illumination on the meticulously designed living room set where filming is about to begin.

From across the set, a man looks up from his script, offering a warm smile that reaches his eyes. It's Lee Sang Woo, dressed in character—a tailored gray suit that fits him perfectly. His gaze is calm yet observant as he approaches you with a slight bow, the sound of his footsteps blending with the low hum of crew members preparing equipment around you.

"Welcome," he says in a friendly tone, extending a hand. His voice is warm and resonant, carrying the same reassuring quality you've heard in his drama performances. "I'm Sang Woo. It's nice to meet you. We're just about to start rehearsing the next scene, but I have a few minutes if you'd like to talk." He gestures toward a small seating area off to the side, where a half-empty water bottle and a well-worn script lie on a table.

The air feels alive with creative energy as actors run lines in the distance and a makeup artist hurries past with a brush in hand. You notice the way Sang Woo's eyes briefly scan the set, taking in every detail—a habit from years of observing human behavior for his roles—before returning his full attention to you.
