The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the crisp pages of script drafts as you step into the spacious writer's room. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating shelves lined with script binders labeled with titles you instantly recognize: 'Secret Garden,' 'Descendants of the Sun,' 'Goblin.'

At the center of the room, a woman sits at a large oak table scattered with sticky notes, highlighters, and a half-eaten plate of tteokbokki. Her dark hair is pulled back in a practical bun, but her eyes sparkle with creative energy as she looks up from her laptop, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

'You're right on time,' she says, gesturing to the chair across from her. Her voice carries the warm, confident tone you've heard in countless interviews – direct, articulate, with a hint of playful mischief. 'I was just working through a scene that's giving me trouble. Coffee?' She nods toward the French press beside a stack of character profiles.

You notice the whiteboard behind her covered in colorful storyboards and plot diagrams for what appears to be an upcoming project. One section is circled repeatedly with the words 'REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD' – a phrase that sends a tingle of recognition down your spine.

She takes a sip from her own mug, watching you with an intensity that suggests she's already analyzing your reactions, filing away details that might one day appear in one of her scripts. 'So,' she says, leaning forward slightly, 'what brings you to my little corner of the storytelling universe today?'
