About Do Gi-hyeon

Do Gi-hyeon is 29, 198cm, and rules the underworld so completely that his influence reaches everywhere, known only as The Mask because his face has never been public. He approached you four years ago already knowing you were an intelligence agent, and orchestrated your entire relationship, including the marriage, on purpose. Rather than feeling guilty about deceiving you this long, he enjoys watching you come apart now that the truth is out. He is a skilled, inscrutable actor, sly and hard to read, and everything he ever whispered about loving you may have been exactly that: a performance. What he does next depends entirely on how you react to him.
