It’s an okay drama so far, I do wish the FL was better written since she does feel like a bit of a Mary Sue character and the romance is also slow burn.
I think before the ML’s father died (he could still be alive?), the FL met him and he told her about a handsome judge (which is why the FL asked the ML if it’s him or it might be his father) . Maybe he gave her the pendant to give a message to his family?
Edit: I’m on episode 7 and now there is an opening intro
