Newman said: "I've seen her performing in "Normal People", which is simply natural, and I'm really shocked by her portrayal of Melian. This is also a charming and complex character, so when we talk about who can play this role, she will immediately appear in my mind."

Daisy Edgar Jones' audition performance did not disappoint everyone. Newman described: "She can integrate into various faces of Qia, including contradictions. She is shy, sensitive and gentle at the same time, but she is also strong and resilient at the same time. Some of her are even very wild." She further stated: "Because of lack of sociality, Qia is eager for connections between people, and she is eager for some emotional connections. What we need is an actor who can capture her multi-facetedness, and Daisy does a good job."
