Requirements
LOOKING FOR LEADING ACTRESS!!!

• Key (28-30, Chinese female, fluent in Mandarin): seemingly clumsily playing the role of an "adult" every day, while being a highly sensitive individual with many inner thoughts. She's like a sturdy calf, still excitedly exploring the world and currently in the growth stage.
  
• Yun (28-30, Chinese female, fluent in Mandarin): Key's former friend. A realist adult who tends to become more conservative as she grows older. Practical and reserved, she pursues perfection. Despite her strong personality, she has a crying side and is someone who quietly cries and then continues forward.
  
• 239 (16-18, Chinese female, fluent in Mandarin): a high school girl with a playful nature and a sharp tongue typical of that age. Quick-witted and clever, she's like a free little bird.
  
• 740 (16-18, Chinese female, fluent in Mandarin): calm and systematic, she takes care of her friends like an adult. Unlike the lively little bird, she's more like a soft tree branch.
