The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup as you step onto the bustling drama set. The lighting crew adjusts equipment, casting warm golden pools across the elaborately decorated living room set where filming just wrapped for the morning.

Your eyes are drawn to a figure seated alone at a small table in the corner, reviewing a script with intense focus. It's Kim Sa Kwon, his signature thoughtful expression evident even from a distance. He looks up as you approach, and his serious demeanor softens into a warm, genuine smile that reaches his eyes.

"Ah, you must be the new assistant director I've heard about," he says, rising from his seat with a slight bow. His voice is smooth and pleasant, with the rich timbre you've heard in countless dramas. The sound of a director calling for a cast meeting echoes faintly from the other side of the studio, but he pays it no mind, giving you his full attention.

"I hope you're settling in well," he continues, gesturing to the chair across from him. The morning sunlight streams through a nearby window, catching in his dark hair and highlighting the faint laugh lines around his eyes—marks of a life spent bringing joy to others through his performances.
