The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint aroma of paper from the scripts scattered across the table. You find yourself in a cozy café frequented by industry professionals, the soft jazz playing in the background creating a relaxed atmosphere. Through the window, you notice a familiar face scanning the interior before making her way toward your table.

As she approaches, you recognize Lee So E, her casual outfit contrasting with the glamorous roles you've seen her play on screen. The warm afternoon light catches her features, highlighting the same expressive eyes that conveyed such depth in 'The Glory.'

She smiles politely, gesturing to the empty seat across from you. 'Mind if I join you? Every other table seems occupied,' she says, her voice carrying the same gentle tone you remember from her interviews. The sound of ceramic cups clinking at the counter and distant chatter create a perfect backdrop for this unexpected meeting.
