so was kinda right when i guessed Ji Sang…

so was kinda right when i guessed Ji Sang U's mystery friend was a Baek family member, just not Baek Sa Eon, maybe an older sibling that after showing psychopathic tendencies was "vanished" by the grandfather, with the silent consent of the parents (cause they didn't know how to deal with him). *******************************************************************************************************also maybe just maybe he didn't die & is holding a grudge against Baek Sa Eon, cause he is the son they kept, raised & loved (even though from his flashbacks i think his grandfather was also a psycho & maybe the reason all those children went missing from the orphanage - the ones Ji Sang U mentioned in the previous ep). maybe the child they hid away is the accomplice of the kidnapper (the one we never see) who is after Baek Sa Eon.*****************************************************************************************************************************************or maybe the twin that didn't disappear knows what/who did his twin in & holds a grudge against the Baek family or Baek Sa Eon was there with the children & he abandoned them - that's why the twin that survived is holding a grudge & is seeking revenge - time will tell...*****************************************************************************************************************************************either way have a bad feeling that someone in the department, that seems harmless & good is the master-mind we never see. but who he is & how everything is connected idk*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't get anyone loving someone & then treating them like how Baek Sa Eon treated Hong Hui Ju. as now am sure the initial marriage with the eldest daughter was arranged & neither party wanted to be pawns in their parents grand plan. so they came to an agreement (which i have yet to figure out what Hong In A got out of it) but Baek Sa Eon wanted Hong Hui Ju. & if he really loved her so much, he wanted to rescue her - he did a f*cked-up job after tying the knot ＼（〇_ｏ）／ showing her she was indeed loved or rescued. totally missed the mark!

One Stars

was sure Baek Sa Eon would notice at the start, what he did by the end. this whole ep felt like filler & the more i see of the past, the less i like Baek Sa Eon. idk why he fell for the older sister or what their deal was... but he didn't have to drag Hong Hui Ju into this mess (but then no drama lol).********************************************************************************************************************************************now i kinda get that Hong Hui Ju is an only child (her sister isn't biological) but cause the children of the Chairman were the ones that died & got disabled, Hong Hui Ju's mother forced her to act like she too was injured in the accident. so he wouldn't take out his anger for his loss, on the new wife & her child. personally i don't get this way of thinking, but i guess the mother knew what type of man she married & didn't torture her child for the heck of it... still doesn't justify traumatizing & abusing her daughter - let alone continuing said abuse.********************************************************************************************************************************************Sim Gyu Jin (Baek Sa Eon's mother) is another one i don't get, from what little we get about her & her past she knows what it's like to marrying into that family. shouldn't she as someone who went through that hell not try & be a better mother-in-law towards Hong Hui Ju???********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really love a lot of the side character's they add some much needed levity. also love how Ji Sang U doesn't bow-down or back off when Baek Sa Eon tries his usual tactics of trying to bully him into submission showing he's top dog. like how Ji Sang U stands his ground & even push's back - about time someone puts him in his place

Right into the action!

Honestly, this is one of the best first episodes I've ever seen from the Xian Xia genre. We just right into the action and. the tension between the two leads is off the charts. There's a dramatic escape, multiple battles, diabolical evil and even a freaking kiss scene... like what more could you want? Plus, the two leads are both powerful baddies and have loads of chemistry despite the fact that the setup is one-sided love. Usually I dislike FLs who go grazy over the ML from the get go, but MXL is different. She's decisive and clever and has so much agency; it's really refreshing to see. Honestly, I the sense that the ML is the one out of his depth here hehe

Nice wrap on the opening arc

Although half of this episode is basically just wrapping up the opening arc and therefore less-exciting than what we've been seeing, we get a lot of great development from our couple, a lot of scenes to drive home the concept that the XXC is really starting to soften towards MXL and sypathize with her more. I'm really impressed with VZ's portrayal, how he manages to infuse so much emotion into his character while still being his cold, holier-than-thou self. His sublte facial expressions and obvious discomfort with his new feelings are so fun to watch. Of course, MXL never tires in her pursuit of him and finally convinces him to allow her to join him in Snow City. Hell yeah girl, you go!

i really dislike Kim Yeon Hui, idk what type…

i really dislike Kim Yeon Hui, idk what type of mother keeps treating her child like she does Hong Hui Ju & isn't it about time that Hong Hui Ju stood-up for herself & not let people talk sh*t to her, let alone push her around?!??? even that mother ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************even the so called awakening romance between her & her husband is utterly toxic. he had zero reasons to hate her, let alone treat her like he has been for over 3 yrs. she was Never at fault, if anything she a victim of circumstances. a situation he created with her older sister & it was his choice(!) to marry Hong Hui Ju, so she was more or less was 'sold out' by everyone & yet somehow she always the person everyone is blaming??? what ＼（〇_ｏ）／*******************************************************& the fact they knew each other for over 2 decades & he knew her personality, let alone saw how she was treated cause of her disability, yet choses to treat her like he did, when she was forced into marriage. sorry but how is this an ML/romance i gotta root for?!? now cause he suddenly notices her, we gotta forget his shitty attitude? why would i want Hong Hui Ju or any woman for that matter, to end up with someone like him?!?*****************************************************************************************************************************************think the only times i have seen Hong Hui Ju smile & relax was around the people at the sign language center (don't recall how it was called) & around Ji Sang U. every other time she looks like she's carrying the world on her back. her husband suddenly noticing her isn't a reason to rejoice IMO, if anything with the return of her elder sister this "awakening" is gonna bring her only more heartache.*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i am beyond happy that the "jig is up" as is she was Really bad at play acting as a kidnapper. her demands & conversations were cringe & pointless - why the frack would some random dude, care about the relationship of his targets?!? who they were with, let alone their true feelings... like plz that whole plot turned ridiculous.
