It all happened in an instant.

    Jiyeon’s accidental headbutt to Seoyeon, followed by her improvised line, left everyone stunned.

    "Was that line in the script?"

    "No, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t."

    "Then... all of that was ad-lib?"

    The staff exchanged whispers, glancing at each other.

    And they had reason to be confused. Jiyeon’s stumble and headbutt had already rendered the scene an NG.

    The original script hadn’t accounted for any such event.

    Yet somehow, Jiyeon’s improvised line had lightened the tense atmosphere, turning the heated scene into something more dynamic and fluid.

    It was exactly the kind of intervention Yeon Seonye, caught between the two opposing forces of Yuina and Michiko, might have made.

    "She’s got great instincts."

    Baek Min lowered his hand, which he had raised to call NG, and turned his attention to Jiyeon with newfound appreciation.

    To be honest, Baek Min had never held Jiyeon in the same regard as Seoyeon or Seohui when it came to acting ability.

    Jiyeon wasn’t bad—not at all.

    She was solid, competent, and certainly better than many of her peers. But for Baek Min, better than average wasn’t enough.

    "But in the audition, she was a perfect match for Yeon Seonye."

    Jiyeon’s understated performance had the sincerity and subtlety that embodied the character.

    Her naturally gentle aura added depth to Seonye’s quieter moments, making her a compelling fit.
