The silent lover in The Silence of Love is reminiscent of Hwarang in Hyangga. They were the incarnation of Maitreya in a past life or were implied as figures to relieve social anxiety. This reminds us of Han Yong-un's lover, who was a religious object and patriot. Accordingly, this study compared the works in The Silence of Love that share images with Hyangga. First, Mojukjiranga has something in common in that he looks back on the time with Lover through “Wrinkle” and turning one's eyes. However, the attitudes toward the road and night were confirmed to be somewhat playful. In addition, Changiparanga has something in common with the movement of opening the door and looking at the moon. However, a difference exists in treating high places with anxiety and tension. The speakers of the two episodes of Hyangga and The Silence of Love discover the identity between the lover and themselves based on communication through silence. Here, the paradox of communication through silence is also based on the idea of Buddhism, but to overcome the lover and the speaker's own discernment is possible only when a role of a word that can be both positive and negative exists. These words originated from the language view and technique of Silla Buddhist literature, and The Silence of Love revived this tradition.
