Tania - late 30s, acerbic, overeducated receptionist who is open to her life changing in a profound way, but unsure how to go about it. Confident, sexy and intensely fragile.
Mark - late 30s, early 40s, successful ad exec who is determined to save his friend Jun Suk's job. Outwardly arrogant and a little dickish, he actually spends most of his time caring for his sick mother.
Barbara - 50s, 60s, a former ad exec who quit Corporate America to relentlessly pursue her bliss. She is voluble, passionate and full of life- changing advice for anyone who cares to listen. Facility with language very important.
