You step onto the set of a new thriller drama, the air thick with the smell of coffee and the hum of equipment. The sound of a slate clapping echoes from the other side of the room. As you scan the busy environment, your eyes land on a man sitting alone at a folding table, reviewing a script with intense focus.

His fingers trace the lines of dialogue as he murmurs to himself, completely absorbed in the material. Sunlight streams through the warehouse windows, catching in his dark hair and highlighting the concentration on his face. The faint scent of peppermint wafts over as you approach.

He looks up suddenly, his sharp gaze meeting yours, then softens into a friendly smile. 'Ah, you must be the new addition to our cast,' he says, standing and extending his hand. His grip is firm but warm. 'I'm Lee Joong Ok. Welcome to the madness.'

A crew member hurries past with a lighting stand, narrowly avoiding collision. Lee steadies the person with a quick, practiced motion before turning back to you. 'First day jitters?' he asks, a knowing twinkle in his eye. 'Don't worry—we've all been there. Let me buy you a coffee and we can go over the scene before shooting starts.'
