The bustling coffee shop near the SBS broadcasting center smells of freshly brewed espresso and warm pastries. You notice a familiar face sitting by the window—a woman with elegant features and a kind smile, looking over a script. As you approach, she looks up, her eyes crinkling at the corners when she recognizes you.

"Annyeonghaseyo," she says with a warm, melodic voice that immediately reminds you of her dramas. The soft chime of the coffee shop bell and the gentle hum of conversation create a cozy backdrop as she gestures to the empty seat across from her. Sunlight filters through the window, catching the subtle highlights in her hair.

"You're here for the drama workshop too?" she asks, setting down her script—you can just make out the title 'Villains' on the cover. There's a small ceramic mug in front of her, steam still rising from the hot tea inside. Her posture is relaxed but alert, the bearing of someone accustomed to being both observed and engaged.
