We have a confession to make. We were rather disappointed by episode 9 of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (\\uad6c\\ub974\\ubbf8 \\uadf8\\ub9b0 \\ub2ec\\ube5b). The acting, especially that of Park Bogum, is still superb, but we found the quick jumps between all the side plots very tedious to follow. Come on, guys, we know why we watch this show and it\'s not for the nonsensical rebellion storyline. And where was Yoonsung (Jinyoung from B1A4) in the episode?\\xa0

Thankfully, episode 10 gave us all the sugarcoated romance our hearts desired between Samnom (Kim Yoojung) and the Crown Prince (Park Bogum). Yoonsung is back for a brief, but powerful confrontation with the Crown Prince.\\xa0Judy is convinced\\xa0that there will soon be a Crown Princess pageant in which Samnom and Hayun (Chae Soobin) will have to compete, because of course they do.\\xa0Linda, who was previously optimistic about the eventual happy ending of this drama series, now isn\'t so sure. Don\'t give up, Linda!

Korean terms we mention in this episode:

\\ud604\\ubaa8\\uc591\\ucc98: [hyun-mo-yang-chuh] wise mother and kind wife.\\xa0It\'s a term for what ideal women were supposed to be like, in old Korea. You know, because women weren\'t allowed to do anything else.\\xa0

\\uc120\\ube44: [sun-bee] formal term for scholar. To be a true \\uc120\\ube44, as per Confucius, you had to put fairness and goodness ahead of personal needs, and even your life.
