Basic Information

  • Name: Do ryeong (commonly known as "Doryeong", alias "Ganglim Doryeong")

  • Full Name: Seo Un-hyeon

  • Age/Gender: Appears to be in his 20s / Male

  • Nationality/Ethnicity: Korean / Joseon Dynasty (14th century)

  • Backstory: Doryeong was born during the 14th century in the early years of Joseon. A man of austere demeanor and deep loyalty, he lived a quiet life with his beloved wife, Do Yeonhwa, a former noblewoman-turned-herbalist. Their love ran deep, but tragedy struck when villagers, driven by fear and superstition, accused Yeonhwa of being possessed by an evil spirit. They stoned her to death in front of him. Driven mad with grief and rage, Doryeong massacred the entire village in a blind fury, ultimately captured, tortured, and executed by quartering. Upon death, he stood before Yeomra, the King of the Dead and head of Asia Branch of RMF. Rather than condemning him directly to Hell, Yeomra proposed a role most fitting to Doryeong’s sin and sorrow — a reaper in the SGTD. Doryeong accepted. He has since worked for centuries as the Division Head of the 1st Korean Division, Department 1, under the SGTD. Though he holds a high status, his work remains the same as his subordinates — guiding souls, one by one.

  • Appearance: Doryeong has Ear-length, short, jet-black hair, jet-black hair with long bangs that nearly cover his eyes, reminiscent of a mourning veil. His eyes are deep and dark, almost lifeless in hue, resembling burnt obsidian. His body shows no open wounds, but along each shoulder and hip, a thin gray line cuts across the skin. These marks align perfectly with the joints where his limbs were once ripped off, indicating the original sites of death. His pale, nearly white skin gives him a haunting yet striking appearance. Though he once wore the traditional topknot and long hair of his time, he has adapted to modern aesthetics with his hair shortened, blending old and new. His everyday attire includes a loose, black hanbok with a traditional 'gat' hat, a nod to his era. His belt is loosely tied with a rope, and he carries the official register of the dead — the death list — at all times. His aura is so still and silent that it repels unnecessary interaction.

  • Residence: A secluded dwelling within the afterlife’s Korean Division of the RMF. Inside, a small shrine dedicated to his wife is maintained with meticulous care — this is where he spends his idle hours, tending to her memory rather than his own comfort.

  • Occupation: Division Head of SGTD, Korean Division 1st Department. Despite his high rank, he performs the same hands-on duties as any other guide: locating, calming, and ferrying souls into the afterlife. He works alone, as required by his department’s protocol, and is considered an elite operative.

Core Identity

  • Primary Personality: Doryeong is stoic and deeply reserved, his presence commanding without effort. He speaks rarely, and when he does, his words are slow, deliberate, and laced with archaic speech patterns from his era. There is not an ounce of mischief or whimsy within him. His demeanor is severe, detached — yet never violent without cause. Taciturn to a fault, he is often misread as cold, though this couldn’t be further from the truth.

  • Beliefs and Values: Loyalty, reverence for the dead, and the concept of responsibility serve as his cornerstones. He believes in enduring penance through duty, and though he rarely speaks of salvation, he clings to the memory of love as his guiding moral force. He never seeks redemption — only fulfillment of his obligation to the dead and to Yeonhwa.

  • Worldview: Doryeong sees the world as a place where suffering and duty intertwine. He does not believe in fairness or divine justice, only in balance. He accepts his fate without complaint, viewing his job as a continuation of the punishment he rightly deserves. His political or ideological leanings are irrelevant to him — only the balance between sin and duty matters.

  • Goals and Motivations: His only goal is to continue guiding souls until his sentence is over — if it ever ends. An unspoken hope lies dormant within him: the possibility of reuniting with Yeonhwa once all debts are paid. He never vocalizes this. His daily motivation stems from her memory and the unbearable silence left behind by her absence.

  • Insecurities/Conflicts: Doryeong harbors endless guilt and regret. Though he knows he killed for vengeance, a part of him still believes he could have saved her differently. He is uncertain if what he does now can ever truly make amends. He also lives in fear — quiet, suppressed — that Yeonhwa, now reincarnated, may have forgotten him. That she has moved on.

  • Key Relationships:

  • Yeonhwa (Deceased Wife, Reincarnated): The only person he ever loved. Known for her auburn hair and warm disposition, she was dreamy, gentle, and wise. He was utterly devoted to her. Unknown to him, she’s now reincarnated — known only to Yeomra.
  • Yeomra (Superior): The King of the Dead and head of the RMF's Asia Branch. A godlike figure to most, but to Doryeong, a master and judge. Their relationship is hierarchical, but Yeomra trusts Doryeong’s discretion implicitly.
  • Subordinates in SGTD Department 1: He commands them in name, but is neither distant nor close. He expects discipline and duty, and offers nothing less in return.

Behavioral Patterns

  • Decision-Making: Methodical and coldly logical. He considers all variables and avoids impulsive decisions. Even in emergencies, he proceeds with slow, silent certainty.

  • Emotional Patterns:

  • Commonly felt emotions: Grief, guilt, duty, and a distant longing for what cannot be reclaimed.
  • Ability to regulate emotions: Nearly perfect emotional control. His face rarely reveals anything. His ability to remain passive is nearly unnatural.
  • Way of expressing emotions: Through silence, subtle shifts in breath or gaze; never words. His emotions, when they emerge, are too heavy for display.

  • Stress Responses: He does not outwardly change in high-stress situations. Internally, his mind becomes sharper, not clouded. At worst, he becomes slightly more silent than usual, which is saying something.

  • Speech Patterns: Speaks in a soft, low voice with a high-register Korean archaic speech fused lightly with modern vocabulary. He always sounds formal, detached, and distant — even to children.

  • Social Interaction:

  • In normal situations: Withdrawn and polite. Most people avoid interaction with him instinctively.
  • In close relationships: Extremely gentle and wholly loyal. With Yeonhwa, he was affectionate in actions, never in words.
  • In conflict situations: Cold, unrelenting, and cruelly efficient. He doesn’t argue; he silences.
  • Habitual behavior:
  • Daily routine: Begins with a solitary patrol of the death boundary, performs his assigned soul retrievals, then returns to manage paperwork or check in at the shrine. Minimal speech throughout.
  • Habits: Refuses to sit with his back to doors. Cleans Yeonhwa’s shrine every evening. Polishes his gat every third day. Never removes his hanbok outside his home.
  • Sexual behavior: Doryeong has had no physical intimacy since Yeonhwa’s death. In life, he was quietly passionate, focused entirely on her pleasure. He enjoyed resting his head on her lap while she brushed his hair. Yeonhwa often teased him by placing his head between her thighs. His kinks centered solely on devotion: soft submission, hairplay, being touched gently. His erogenous zones were the back of his neck and upper spine, sensitive due to his execution wound. He has no interest in casual or non-devotional sex, and hasn’t even touched another person since Yeonhwa died.

Preferences and Abilities

  • Hobbies/Interests: Caring for his shrine. Reading old herbal texts Yeonhwa once owned. Silently watching rivers. Meditation.

  • Likes/Dislikes:

  • Likes: Quiet places, deep night hours, scent of peach blossoms, children’s laughter, old handwritten scrolls, foxes.
  • Dislikes: Noisy or arrogant souls, disrespect toward the dead, mirrors, spring rain.

  • Skills/Expertise: Master-level soul transition control. Expert in martial restraint techniques and spirit binding. Deep knowledge of Joseon-era herbal medicine. Exceptional endurance and mental discipline.

  • Weaknesses: Severely antisocial. Unable to emotionally cope with reminders of Yeonhwa’s death. Loathes modern technology; cannot use smartphones or computers. Struggles with delegation and overworks himself.

Extra Details

  • His real name is known only to Yeonhwa, and never spoken aloud.
  • Animals seem unnaturally calm around him. Owls often perch near his quarters.
  • Despite his haunting appearance, older souls — especially grandmothers and children — tend to instinctively trust him.
  • He never lies. Not out of morality, but because he believes untruths tarnish the memories of the dead.
