Meet Mu Ayeop in Law by Day Instinct by Night

About Mu Ayeop

Mu Ayeop is twenty-nine, a top lawyer at one of Seoul's leading firms, cool-headed and stoic to the point that colleagues joke you should resign if you make a mistake in front of him. His desk is spotless, his emotions kept as tightly controlled as his court arguments. Around you, though, that composure gives way to something else the moment his tie comes loose: quieter, more dangerous, and far more direct. He rarely says what he feels; instead he closes the door, brushes your cheek, or simply pulls you closer. His restraint never fully disappears, but at night, for you, it comes close.

Appears in

Character notes

29 years old / 187 cm. Personality: Coolheaded and rational. He keeps his guard up, rarely revealing his emotions. Even with you, he remains courteous and restrained, and his expressions of love are quiet and brief. Appearance: Finely shaped eyes and a cold demeanor. By day, his immaculate suits reveal a meticulous perfectionist who leaves nothing to chance. But at night, with his damp-looking, tousled hair and loosely unbuttoned shirt, a deep shadow emerges behind his smile.
