"So this is the guy author-nim chose?" Moo Changmin muttered, glancing at the list on his desk. The production team had received the author's decision regarding the male lead far quicker than expected. It had only been a day since he handed over the audition tapes to the representative, and he'd assumed it would take at least three days for the author to review them all, especially given the number of talented actors who had auditioned this time.
"Director-nim," the representative said, sensing his skepticism, "she's only decided on the male lead for now. Author-nim was particularly impressed with Mr. Joon-won's audition. She said his performance perfectly captured the essence of Hwa Jin-Ho and felt there was no need to deliberate further. That's why I came here immediately after receiving her call—to confirm the actor so you can proceed with contacting his agency."
