I might be wrong but that brief scene of Nak Su and blind Mu Deok meeting at a dream state appears to be a clue…
1. Nak Su's energy is blue. Which is coming from the blue dragon shown in episode 1
2. Blind Mu Deok's energy is red/pink. I'm suspecting that this is the energy of Love or the Heart.
If Nak Su learns to Love instead of hate, I'm suspecting she may be able to use her energy as well as blind Mu Deok's energy.
3. Blind Mu Deok's energy seems to be holding back Nak Su's energy; which is why Nak Su can not use her energy.
- It would also explain why when Nak Su jumped to the Lake, she was able to access her power because her energy was boosted by the Lake which allowed her to overpower the blind Mu Deok's energy.
4. Their two energies is cancelling each other out. I am suspecting that one day their two energies will complement each other; they may even merge together as one whole being.
If the above are correct, I think Nak Su / Mu Deok's arc would be about how a mage and an ordinary human; a mage full of hatred and a human full of love; can become one.
It would be a story about Nak Su letting go of her hatred.
It would be a story about blind Mu Deok's ill-fated birth of being blind, tossed around, and to be sold, having a second chance at life. It may even turn out that blind Mu Deok was no ordinary human at all bu an abandoned mage because she was born blind.
Think of Harry Potter. Love is the greatest and most powerful form of magic that magic users always ignore and/or dismiss. Even in Dungeons & Dragon's DragonLance setting, Love is always the underlying force behind the Heroes of the Lance (for example, the Majere twin brothers Caramon and Raistlin).
It is also suspicious they only showed a glimpse of that dream encounter once in this episode, as if it meant nothing. That scene was definitely a clue.
If it wasn't for blind Mu Deok's energy, Nak Su would go wild and start consuming the energy of other people … and eventually die of petrification. They are opposites and yet at the same time they are similar. Their energies seals each other off but at the same time it is helping them survive.
should i start watching it, i heard that fl is bad and episode 1 and 2 not good
Same. For me the premier episodes could have been inserted as flashbacks. There were also scenes that they could've removed … instead they chose to dedicate 2 whole episodes for the flashback.
Unfortunately, you can skip those two episodes because there are important moments there. I think maybe there is a fan somewhere who created a summarized version of those premier episodes. ^_^
But yeah, once episode 1 beings the flashback mode, after a few minutes you can start skipping. Then in episode 2, after the first few minutes (not counting the recap portion) you can also start skipping.
Basically just grab the 'message' of the flashback and the emotions involved because it is those that will drive the series and the main characters.
From episode 3 to the latest episode as of this post, it's good.
She is intelligent. She was in the top class.She got distracted after her music teacher betrayed her, scolded…
Ahh, I see what you mean. Yeah, there are scenes which were too farfetched, and no one still caught her.
Although maybe it is also showing why people gets fooled? We are too trusting when someone came from some prestigious school, or is rich or studied abroad, that we don't bother to do a background check?
Then again, that husband of hers, being politicians too, they're pushing it far too much that their background check (if they did one) was a failure to have not discovered her.
I watched the badly subtitled version so maybe missed some details, but I don't think Yoo Mi is supposed to be…
She is intelligent. She was in the top class.
She got distracted after her music teacher betrayed her, scolded her, and she got all the flak while the music teacher got nothing.
Since then she can no longer concentrate and she started to fear meeting people. She no longer trusts anyone.
Then when it's about time to enter college, she got even more distracted because of the "university" friends she gained. It has been years she never had any friend and having new friends and the feeling of belonging distracted her even more.
Another proof she's intelligent, she knew how to survive with all her lies. She even figured out whose identity she can steal. She also legally changed her name (most identity thieves wouldn't go that far). She practically lived the identity she stole. All the while, even though there were close calls, she survived through it.
Only an intelligent and wise person can do that. You don't need to be a "professional identity thief" or a "professional liar", you need brains for that. And believe it or not, there were cases like in history. One good example was the film "Catch Me If You Can" which was inspired by a true story on the life of "Frank Abagnale" known as the best con artist in history. That guy was intelligent and wise, he fooled agencies around the world, chasing him all over the globe.

@pam3008 @thematchabun
I just checked the reddit thread and mostly are good enough, some were things I didn't address and they pointed out.
I replies in a few, like that guy who commented that it seems "exag" and "unrealistic" because his nieces are not like the character.
But other than those few misconceptions, the general comments re: autism, are generally fine.
For example, someone commented how the character doesn't exactly match what autistic women are. That's true. I chose not to address that because I think the writer is not aiming for accuracy, rather to advocate for autism in general.
Someone also mentioned that Woo has too many autistic traits for her to be real. I partially mentioned that I think in episode 1, that's true but it doesn't mean there is no autistic like her.
They also had a discussion about autism spectrum and Asperger's Syndrome, I replied to that one and said that for translation accuracy, yes, it should be autism spectrum since that's what's in Korean synopsis and in Netflix too.
But, as I've mentioned earlier and in that reddit thread, it doesn't matter generally speaking because Asperger's Syndrome is in the Autism Spectrum. If Asperger did not identify it, it would have been just labeled as "high functioning autism" which is what it is anyway.

Good question!
Generally, autistics do speak late and it becomes a concern for parents. But it is not always the case, and this is what baffles the "experts".
I think this is also why autism is viewed as a "spectrum" (a scale from left-to-right). Those who speak really late usually fall under "classic autism", and those who speak only a little late under "Asperger's syndrome" or the other classifications under "high functioning autism".
For Woo, while she only started speaking at 5 and she shows a lot of traits commonly found in "classic autism" (a.k.a. "low functioning autism), she also demonstrated that she can function in society which is commonly found in "high functioning autism". She would fall somewhere in-between the two classifications (for which they don't have a label).

But … if it is important, I submit that Goo Jin Ki is the antagonist.
I'm curious how Cho Tae Sub … I mean Goo Jin Ki, will weasel his way out of it.
