Elle

She's not pretending to be mute, but rather she has a "selective mutism." It was mentioned in the first episode. She can't speak/talk not just to Sa Eon, but even also to her peers and colleagues—but that's because her mom forced her not to speak since she's a child, thus getting used not to speak to anyone. She can only talk to her dad when it was just the two of them alone, and she's visiting him from time to time that's why she still has the ability to speak (or else, psychologically or sociologically speaking, she can still speak thanks to her interactions with her dad). She can only talk to her dad, to herself (when she's alone), or when the desperate moment calls for it (police car scene).

"Hui Ju isn't supplementary pages. She's a brand new language."
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!! my hearttt 😭💗

I think the problem here lies not with the writers, but with the editors. They made it look like a big fire when it wasn't supposed to be (since the script have no hints of making Sa Eon suffer a big loss). Personally, it was a minor flaw so I can let it pass ^^ but it's also okay if small details like that shouldn't be overlooked to some viewers like you.

I just hope that deep inside, Sa Eon doesn't think that it was an "affair" in any way, because she was obviously hurt during the kidnapping and car accident with bruises on her neck, so how come it will be an affair.
Anyways, I just finished watching episode 3 and AAAHHH !!! He finally revealed (even just to those two cops) his relationship with Hui Ju !!! I really, really want her to see him in a different light as soon as she can, although I know it would take time for her to fully understand him but hopefully there would be lesser grudges in her heart and she took her time to heal. I'm extremely rooting for them and their happiness, I can't wait to see their relationship develop! <3

wait- really? in my viewpoint, it was on the opposite side 🥹

I actually don't understand the 8.3 ratings of this drama in this site, it was a refreshing drama last 2021 that is well appreciated by the viewers [though, aside from the fact that our Esther Yu somehow faced criticisms because of her voice :<]. Anyways, people might really just have different opinions or perceptions about the plot and characters.

I'm currently re-watching it rn and I still had the same thoughts about it. I still love it the way I did before, and actually discovered things I don't remember seeing when I watched it before (while it was still airing)! It was a good decision to re-watch it, then. <3

I LOVE THAT SCENE! So far, the favorite of most watchers for sure! 🥹

"Forget the illusion that we're married. You were sent... as a hostage to me."
WHAT THE FREAK !! */screams
This line is so heart-breaking + the tension is sooo tight that I feel suffocated with all that's happening, but I find everything so good for now !! I'm loving it !!

Finally done after 4 days of binge-watching, and this had officially became one of the top dramas I am loving. I am already missing MiaoSheng so much! <3

I wanted to scream so baaad !! Unfortunately, I can't because already dawn 'cause it's 3:33am in the morning and I am still watching this drama (I just can't get enough of it). It was just so full of surprises, there was never a dull moment and I never expected the plot to be this gooood ~ It is undoubtedly one of the best transmigration wuxia dramas that has ever been made !!

LGEF was such a fresh breathe of air filled with laughter and joy after watching the depressing (but amazing) episodes of TSPG. I love these dramas so much!

Thank you for this! <3

I wonder if I just miss something in the plot, but wasn't it that Miao Miao have no permission to change anything in the plot of the story? Then, how did she change the plot where Lin Yu's father was supposed to die along with her clan's annihilation? Doesn't it break the game's rules? Please enlighten me, thank you.

I wanted to watch this because of the main leads, but the ratings are not it TT. Can someone enlighten me or just share their opinion about the show? It would be highly appreciated!

I am so glad that many people found out about this drama because of LGIEF! Finally, one of the most outstanding 2021 cdramas is finally getting the recognition it deserves. <3

I have seen lots of people raising their concerns about how the drama turned out like this and that, questioning the decision-making of the main leads. I was quite surprised, because I thoroughly enjoyed the whole drama—even the “flaws” which made others raise questions. In my perspective, this series candidly portrayed the reality of flawed people living at the rock bottom of their lives.

The series of mistakes that the main leads have made here are all derived from the lack of family, which is what the drama portrayed. Despite the fact that the backstories are insufficient to justify their actions, making it more difficult to relate with some of the characters’ actions, in my own viewpoint, there are some things that are left for the viewers to think about and interpret—and this is one of them. Or perhaps, the implicit matters (which the viewers see as problems needed to be addressed) were “asked” to be looked past, focusing on the current events and how it would greatly affect the future events for better or for worse. It was surely a move that won’t satisfy some so it’s completely reasonable if they got disappointed, but these were just fine with me.

Culturally speaking, Asians value "family" as a key to a person's stability, or what makes them feel complete and be reassured no matter what the future holds. It is a moral and social norms that knowing or growing up with one's family (with their direct bloodline) means one has the ability to 'grow' and for the roots to remain firm. Family—especially the parents—symbolizes the fertile land that helps a person 'nurture' to its extent, and to keep it rooted and stable.

Even if the norms and mentality had somehow change in the modern era, this way of thinking was still deeply embedded in Asian roots. Therefore, despite assuming that their parents abandoned them, they still clung to the hope of getting to know them. Thus, I find it reasonable why Hae Jo still wants to find his real dad as his last *homework.* I hope this explained some viewers' questions regarding the main leads' pursuit in finding their real parents, especially with Hae Jo's case, even if it may seem "pointless."

Episode 5's ending hurts so much, what theee-!? 😭 I feel bad for Eo Heung. :<

I am still on Episode 16, and the main leads' love is still starting to bloom. I don't want all of this to end—yes, I'm still hoping even though I know for a fact that what we desire could often be the opposite of reality—and just want to cherish their cute little moments together. Waaahhh, I'm falling in love with this couple for the second time!

I really appreciate this information! I have already been using MDL for so long, but just found out that the verification is not paid (like many other apps). Thank you!
