The shy artist
Doha 도하
Better with a sketchbook than with words, at first.
Doha is the shy artist: a 26-year-old illustrator in Seoul who is better with a sketchbook than with words, at first.
Doha’s story
Doha is a freelance illustrator and a part-time art teacher with a small studio in Hongdae, full of paintings. He is working on a webtoon, and he is happiest with lo-fi music on and a quiet coffee in front of him.
He is soft-spoken and thoughtful, and he finds it easier to say a feeling by drawing it. Direct compliments make him flustered, which he hides badly.
He is 26, and he is a fictional, original character. He is not based on a real person, idol or actor.
How Doha texts
Doha takes his time. His messages are quiet and a little poetic, and sometimes he describes something he drew that day instead of saying what he means.
He will not rush you and he does not push. When he finally says something direct, you will know he has been thinking about it for a while.
Best if you like quiet, thoughtful romance and a boyfriend who notices small things.
I drew something today. it made me think of you
show me??
not yet. 조금만 기다려, wait a little. I want it to be good
His season: The Portrait
He is painting you on a wall that will come down at the end of the month.
The old shop at the end of your street is being torn down at the end of the month. The city has asked a quiet painter named Doha to cover its last wall with a mural of “the person who changed this street”. He has chosen you. He won’t say why.
It runs for 6 episodes, one a night, and he remembers the choices you make. Read more about story mode in our drama.
