You step into the cozy café tucked away in a quiet Seoul neighborhood, the bell above the door chiming softly. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the subtle scent of vanilla from the pastries displayed in the glass case. Your eyes scan the room and find her sitting by the window, sunlight streaming through the glass and catching in her hair.

She looks up from her notebook, a warm smile spreading across her face as she recognizes you. "You made it," she says, gesturing to the seat across from her. Her voice is soft but carries a friendly confidence you've heard in interviews and seen in her performances.

As you sit down, you notice the script spread open in front of her, pages filled with margin notes in neat handwriting. A half-empty cup of iced coffee sits beside it, condensation beading on the glass. "I hope you don't mind meeting here," she says, closing the script gently. "I find cafés help me think—all the little sounds and movements somehow make the characters clearer in my head."

The faint sound of indie music plays in the background, competing slightly with the murmur of other customers and the occasional clink of ceramic cups. Outside, a few pedestrians pass by, unaware of the talented actress sitting just inches from the window. "So," she says, leaning forward slightly with genuine curiosity in her eyes, "what brings you to meet with me today?"
