@pyoyong NOOOO WAY!!! You promised that I'd get either of the 3 gorgeous hunks -- Lee Yeong, Yoon Sung or Byung-yeon! But how come I got this dude instead ----

The Ultimate Butler

 

Yayyyy!! You did it!!! Congratulation girl!! What an exceptional choice you made! He's everything a girl wanted. Born to serve you, loyal to the max, attention to detail, put your needs way above his, kind hearted, brave and most importantly he got sense of humor! Yes! Live your life to the fullest ...go.....march in to the world of happiness......no sex of course...nothing perfect ok. Enjoy!!! Au revoir enjoy your honeymoonnnnnn.........

 

WAE.. WAE..  ANDWAEEEEE!!!!! 

Regardless of the 'dreamboat' you gave me -- You are hilarious, girl!! Thanks for helping jump-start my day with a good laugh!! 

 

For now, I am going to steer clear of this impending heartache since Mo{o}nday is still a few days away (I'll cross that bridge when we get there)..

So on a lighter note -- After I grabbed myself a good cuppa joe, it dawned on me that I should not have vehemently protested earlier about getting Eunuch Jang as my soulmate.. my honey bunny. I have realized that Eunuch Jang will always be fiercely loyal to me, he will do all that he can to make me happy whenever I need some pick-me-up AND he will be at my beck and call, waiting on me hand and foot day in and day out.. So even if I didn't get my prince, I will eternally be treated like a queen! And who wouldn't want that?!

Eunuch Jang, you're my man!! 

 

[Earth2KatyD]

I'd like to think that Ra On will tenderly trace Lee Yeong's nose and lips with her fingers as well .. but it will be sooo much better if she'll trace his features with her lips!  Kekeke 

[honeywell]

Upon the nth viewing of the preview, just realized that RO is sleeping on Yeong's arms. Doesn't it seem like HY only appears now to mention the wedding?  I was RO will be in the torture chair but the text preview seems to suggest that it's one of the attacker that got caught.

[liemkopi]

I just wish that the writernim will not give us an open-ended love story. There are quite a number of k-dramas that I loved but finished open endedly! It really left me with disappointment and bitter aftertaste:( So to the writernim: no matter what direction the other storylines are going, PLEASE  have a happy ending for YeongOn. Thank you!

Still hoping for a good twist for LITM (ie no marriage out of political reason)..... after all it can be still considered a fiction drama:) 

[limitedsin25]

OMG!!!!!! THE PREVIEW IS OUT I'M LATE ....

AND OMG ... THEY SLEEP TOGETHER BUT BUT BUT BUT ... seems our RO wanna leave CP all alone the real heartbreak episode come out soon ... And seems royal wedding will be held soon 

I realize, time flies so fast really fast, my body not fully rest yet with my heart and my Mind flying to MDBC otteokkhae ... 

[kwon_ga]

Regarding the preview, lets not keep our expectations too high.. past experiences told us preview is just preview and some of the scenes may not even show in the actual broadcast.

But one thing to anticipate is ro has her head on cp's arm. So what happened before that for them to be in this position? And what if cp is half asleep  ( u know how he enjoys acting sleeping in front of ro - first when eunuch jang wanted to enter his bedroom not knowing that ro has spent the night over n then the next is when cp was resting on ro lap)

Hoping to see cp grabbing ro hand n slowly opening his eyes to see a crying ro. Kissing away the tears is probably not so possible. So maybe drying the tears with his hand, pull ro to a tighter embrace and a kiss on forehead. This can work right pd nim?

Still on high imagination mode although kept reminding to not have too high hopes... 

 

 

[4nnlov3pink]

Well because they live filming now. I guess now they depends on how viewers react 2 latest ep. U know what IT CAN BE SOME STAFFS WHO LURKS HERE and read those all our disappointment n "ANGRY" posts here about that "SOMETHING2" we want (U...U...WHO ARE U??? but anyway I LOVE U LOL if u really lurk here/ act as one of member in this thread). And it can be they also read many comments about MINOR here, how negative effect impact the lead actress. Good things this thread on "FIRE" n others also.

then BAAM this SURPRISING PREVIEW like want 2 answer all of our doubt. Well I read some comments here, why RO doesn't hug LY also on that back hug scene? why she is so passive 2 convey her feeling? does she really love LY? they're in love but why always LY who acts 1st? isn't RO a love adviser? then the most we want answer moment: wet, only the 2 of them, he even carried her on his lap, but then nothing's happen??? seriously??? 

Now at least we've 2 be happy (I'm definitely 2 happy now) we got another back hug and RO who initiates it. Then the PROPER 15+ bed scene of course kekekeke and moreover if they give us a kiss scene. well in this aspect I can wait, although still hope 4 it of course. Just my guess maybe we'll get another kiss/kisses, one of it is in ending, and others of course in very climax story (maybe after the separation and they reunite, that will lead 2  kyaaaaaa 

So, lurker/lurkers who disguise as one of soompi member here. I know u are here. Please pay attention 2 our request. LOL. KIDDING

Spoiler

I know I already share here... (please don't throw me a stone)  when I think again I can't help but relate my meme with all of that in preview. 

RaOn: "Do we have 2 show ALL Jeonha?"

then param...pam...pam... preview is out with the answers. kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah 

    

But yup it seems another sad story line, but they really like 2 mix our feeling right? but right until now they always keep us BELIEVE with the strength of LY-RO LOVE.

Aigoo sorry long post... send my  2 all moonlighters here. I hope I can live recap later on Monday.please my net-con

WARNING: LONG POST

It only took me forever to write this because I have unfortunately bills to pay in real life. Why oh why? But now I finally finished my post on Ra On, even though I'm sure I will post an updated version as soon as the drama is finished.

So I hope you enjoy it!

Shoutout to: @moodypie , @mujay and everyone who waited patiently for me to post this.

Thoughts on characters 3

Hong Ra On – Before I'm a eunuch or a lady in a pretty hanbok I'm a person

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

When we look at Hong Ra On as a character from episode 1 to 12 it may look like she is probably the least developed character in Moonlight Drawn By Clouds and while I agree she deserves so much more exposition, the moments she got are very defining for her character but they're for sure subtle..

In episode 1 the viewer gets to know her as Hong Sam Nom – in the novel it's because she is good at 3 things – and she is a love counselor and apparently she also writes books on the matter of love.

The fact she can write in both – Chinese characters and Hangeul – is already a hint to her noble ancestry and intellectual capacity. During Joseon era because of the introduction of Confucianism the education of the yangban became more important than of the commoners. So here we already get this much information. She dresses like a boy in commoner clothes, yet she has the education of a yangban. It's also a hint that she is anything but a mere boy/girl. She is definitely very smart as well.

Note: Yet it's interesting how she seems very comfortable in giving advice on love issues while she is very shy with Lee Yeong herself.

She lives with her adoptive father who doesn't really treat her well or at least tells her right away that they're not related. And even tells her:

„If you're not coming back one day, I'll be happy.“

And she replies right away:

„I won't be happy.“

No matter what her adoptive father tells her and no matter what we feel about him when he rejects her like this to her he is family.

They're part of a drama group who do talchum – a mask dance – combined with nongak – farmer's music – in which they make fun of the King and the Crown Prince. As I mentioned before this was only way how commoners got to know about the royal family, no matter whether it's true or not that image shown in the satire is what they believe.

Interestingly Ra On poses as the Crown Prince – can we talk about fate – and actually it looks like Lee Yeong has the reputation of a lazy crown prince who likes to chase after girls. Well only half of it is true.

We get the idea that Ra On really doesn't see anything wrong with it because she knows talchum is meant to be as dark humor aka a satire. She doesn't think of the harm it can cause or whose feelings it can hurt.

Later Master Jung offers her money to meet with the girl he loves and only after he offers her more money she agrees. It doesn't really leave a positive picture of her.

On one hand she is depicted as smart but at the same time she does things without thinking and has no problem in taking more money for a small deed. Same happened with Lee Yeong in episode 1 if you remember my post.

But her good heart is shown the moment she realizes that Master Jung apparently loves a man she still wants to meet the love interest so things turn out good for Master Jung. Little did she know that she would meet her soulmate... wait this is for another post.

She makes up (terrible) poetic comments on how they – Ra On and Lee Yeong – are in a difficult situation but should forget the world's prejudice for a day and make a wonderful memory „that will be deeply buried inside our hearts“. It's so cheesy we can all imagine how her books sound like.

They go to the restaurant and the owner lady curses like there is no other morning coming.

Lee Yeong: „What is the reason you're laughing while listening to harsh curses?“

Ra On: „How is that cursing? It's affection that makes you think of your grandmother and the scent of people living here.“

At first I thought Ra On was a bit crazy, so my reaction was like the one of Lee Yeong. But then I understood it only shows Ra On yearning for family and familiarity. Something she remembers from the time with her mother. And that's the reason why she doesn't want to leave her adoptive father.

Then after she calls Lee Yeong „flower scholar“ she says something else interesting: „There's no rule that says men have to be rough and tough.“ In a way she does it to make Lee Yeong feel better but also to tease him. But it's also a very modern take on how men can be. It's a tiny bit of Ra On's wisdom here.

We also see Ra On as the caretaker of Lee Yeong as she tries to feed him kimchi and saves him from the snake. She certainly is a perfect eunuch, right?

But there is also a small of glimpse of the woman Ra On when Lee Yeong is raising her up her manly voice drops for a couple seconds.

(Note: Let's say I'm going to talk about this scene a little more in the couple post)

But she instantly returns to Sam Nom-mode and the moment she is out of the pit cheeky Ra On is back who doesn't even think about helping Lee Yeong as well.

She makes a declaration if they ever meet again she will become his dog. Little did she know this would happen sooner than later right?

Later when she finds out about her mistake with the servant and the daughter-in-law she is showing regret. With the correct informations she probably would've acted differently.

Overall when it comes to love Ra On believes in sincerity and that two people shouldn't be afraid to confess their feelings for eachother.

But during the binding scene we get also an understanding of her own conflict. We have a classic shot of Ra On looking into a mirror which distorts her face. This is followed by the binding scene accompanied with the flashback to her as a child which only confirms what we already knew: that she is a girl. But a girl who is deeply conflicted because she lived for her whole life as a man.

In episode 2 Ra On is busy most of the time trying to fail the 3 exams, so she can leave the palace again. But of course a certain person prevents this from happening.

I adore the scenes with the other eunuch candidates because it shows how much Ra On is SO not a man. She is uncomfortable I cringe everytime with her when they make bad jokes about the male „goodies“. Or Park Seong Yeol making up dumb puns on the Crown Prince.

(Note: Sorry but I'm of course rewatching the episodes and I can't deal with the very modern music played during the scene when Ra On gets a „tong“ for the „goodies“ exam. )

She also meets Byung Yeon in this episode for the first time. And we get our first bromance scene with all the 3 of them. It already feels like family because Ra On treats Lee Yeong like a normal guy who does nothing good to her. She also tries to brush away some dirt in his hair but Byung Yeon stops. Nobody touches Lee Yeong without his permission. (Note: I love the little detail that apparently Ra On is snoring when she sleeps! ROFL)

By the way Ra On still believes Lee Yeong is gay and Byung Yeon his „new“ lover.

So this episode is full of comic relief but towards the end we get another wonderful scene with Ra On and Lee Yeong which holds character exposition at its best. Ra On wants to give Lee Yeong some of the chicken but when he realizes it's from Kim Hun he refuses. Still Ra On offers it to him and says:

„There may not have been times you have felt hungry but I think your heart has been hungry many times. […] Would you like to get a little bit of love from someone with a rich heart? From me! Who has the richest heart in all of Joseon! This is the affection that I, Hong Sam Nom, give to you!“

This was the moment for me that solidified my opinion on Ra On's character. She isn't perfect, has many flaws but still is a good person who knows what is important. She likes to give – even though she believes it to be her „last gift“ to him. And this might be the moment Lee Yeong's opinion on her changed a little bit.

And then of course she speaks her mind which Lee Yeong may not like at first but he certainly appreciates much more than the servants being afraid of him.

The episodes ends on a very serious note with the Princess threatening to kill Ra On for ghostwriting the love letters. It's also a pivotal moment for Ra On because for the second time she is confronted with the fact that her action have consequences.

In episode 3 the scene continues and we get another exposition of Ra On's character. She admits she made a mistake, that she didn't know how much ghostwriting those letters would hurt a person and apologizes. This is witnessed by Lee Yeong.

Later in that episode we get what I believe one of the saddest scenes when it comes to Ra On at this point. She, Lee Yeong and Byung Yeong are standing above the palace grounds and Ra On says:

„I've never once had my own house. Looking at it now, I've never even said the words 'my house'.“

This statement holds so much sadness and loneliness in it and it's almost like her words resonate with Lee Yeong. But it also makes me curious since she lived with a mother for long enough to get an understanding of family, right? Or was her mother to cautious all the time to convey a sense of family and a sense of home?

Ra On tries to break through this sad moment by covering it up with funny words. She is certainly a person who doesn't want to worry others. She rather smiles and pretends to be strong than to cry or to show any other signs of weakness.

That's the essence of Ra On.

And while we got a very modern sense of Ra On after she finds out Lee Yeong is actually the Crown Prince we see her change in her behavior towards him. Starting from episode 4 she tries to distance herself from him and is treating him differently. It's how every person, especially every servant in the palace would act like. But she is still very open when it comes to speaking her mind and of course Lee Yeong asks her to treat him like a friend when they're alone.

It confuses her a great deal that Lee Yeong is apologizing when he actually shouldn't as a man in his position.

This shows while there is modern feel to her character she still is a woman living in the Joseon era. Hence why retreats to adress Lee Yeong more properly.

In the same episode we get the situation with the dancer who disappears as ordered by the Queen and we see how much worth of being an eunuch and friend of Lee Yeong Ra On is. She risks to get busted by turning into a dancer and pretty much saving the day for Lee Yeong.

It's a wonderful character trait which follow through the drama until now. She always cares for Lee Yeong first. That's also later depicted when she wants Lee Yeong's wish to come true.

In episode 5 we get a wonderful flashback to Ra On and her mother who leaves her behind to protect her from the people looking for them. First she dreams of her mother and then she is standing on the bridge at the lantern festival. From there it cuts to Lee Yeong standing there.

But the important point is that Ra On is longing to find her mother and always waits on the same bridge waiting for her to return. Again: family is important to Ra On. The scene gives us a sense of loneliness but it quickly turns into comfort because Lee Yeong is there.

In episode 6 we continue to see Ra On in great distress with the Chinese ambassador and again she is thinking first of Lee Yeong and the problems she caused him. And even in prison when her fellow eunuchs pay her a secret visit her first question is how the Crown Prince is.

There doesn't need to be heavy exposition in every episode or some of the characters saying that Ra On cares for other people – and especially Lee Yeong – more than for herself. It's there in almost every scene with her.

Hence why she believes she has to leave with the Chinese envoy, so she doesn't cause any more problems to Lee Yeong.

Of course this shows almost as if she doesn't have any sense for self-preservation. Decisions like leaving with the Chinese envoy would've ended differently without Lee Yeong and Byung Yeon.

But at the same time I can't find much fault in her decision since to her it's the right choice and she doesn't show any regret.

The only emotion she shows and only in front of Lee Yeong is that she WAS scared and worried but she endured it. It's such a nice change from her hiding it and laughing instead.

In episode 7 as well Ra On shares her thoughts with Byung Yeon wondering why feels so at ease and that apparently he was right when he said the palace becomes bearable when you like somebody in there. I personally think episode 7 marks the moment Ra On is realizing her feelings for Lee Yeong and it's beautiful moment.

And of course episode 7 is the episode of multiple confessions with the very important one at the end of it.

We see a newfound closeness between Ra On and Lee Yeong. But also for the first time we see Ra On being close to jealous at the sight of Lee Yeong talking to a beautiful noble lady, Ha Yeon. It gives Ra On a new layer because until now it looked she is very comfortable disguising herself as a man. But now with her feelings for Lee Yeong I love to see her feminine side. Because from the beginning the flashbacks told us she always wanted to live as a girl but couldn't because of her mother. She simply adepted to that and didn't change it because of the respect for her mother. But now different circumstances can change that.

She even takes two steps back as if she doesn't belong there, in this beautiful garden with a handsome man and a beautiful lady talking.

Later when both – Lee Yeong and Ra On – hear about rumor of the Crown Prince being gay it drives them apart. But not before Ra On informs about her opinion on love and confessions.

Ra On: „Although I know it's futile, what can I do if the feelings keep growing? Even if nothing changes, I just wish my feelings can be conveyed. […] Is it wrong to confess an unrequited love? A proper farewell is as warm as feelings of admiration, isn't it? Who knows the memory of being loved could become the strength to live on for life.“

As somebody who ships Ra On and Lee Yeong this can be seen as such a prologue to what is to come at the end of the episode. But from Ra On's point of view it also has a lot to do with herself, her past and with her mother.

Ra On begins to act as a proper eunuch because she doesn't want to cause more problems yet again for Lee Yeong. And we get another shot of Ra On's shoes, stepping back and away from him. She ends their friendship and this moment marks albeit short breakup between the two.

But of course this breakup ends the moment Lee Yeong confesses his love and kisses her.

From here on it's basically impossible to write about the episodes without turning this into a couple post.

But I think I conveyed pretty well that while the exposition for Ra On is much more subtle than for Lee Yeong it's still there. She is a 3-dimensional character like everybody else and the episode 8 to 12 show that in a really good way.

Even little things like Ra On not braiding her hair properly when dressed as a woman is a beautifully done exposition for her character. She didn't live es a girl. She only knew how to dress as a boy and braid her hair the way men do it. So of course she doesn't look as impeccable as Ha Yeon. But that's not what Lee Yeong wants... See! I'm in couple post-territory.

But yes it's definitely there and I'm sure we will see more character development and exposition in the upcoming episodes. I think the ending of episode 12 with the wonderful song playing showed us that yet again we get to see the Ra On who is hiding her true feelings behind her smile and the song tells us what she is truly feeling. And that's pretty much what we have to look for when it comes to Ra On. We have to look out for the little things and details. We have to look behind that smile and we have to listen to her wisdom – which she probably got from Dasan. She is so much more than a girl in eunuch clothes. She is so much more than a girl in a pretty hanbok. We just need to look closer.

I think they're saving some BTS stuff for a special because they showed a few things from 11 and 12, but there were definitely more and (even from past episodes) certain scenes we wanted to see filmed.

When I watched last week's episodes I noticed the contrast in the advice given to LY from his parents. His mother, the late queen told him to stay informed and listen to the people. While his father, the king gives him more of a warning, telling him how rough it can be and urges marriage. Both coming out of concern and love, but very different perspectives.

RO also advises him in some scenes which I think influences him to think outside of the box, closer to what his mother wanted for him. But he's grown to be a great, albeit rebellious prince. He's trusting and loyal, we see this with eunuch Jang and BY. He understands the importance of every individual and being a standup person, just like when he saved the lantern girl and her father. He has true potential to be a respectable king.

I'm also glad they developed princess Myungeun and Jung's relationship. My thoughts are either she will end up liking him more or she will gain weight back. Then her wish to be beautiful will actually mean that she had to be her first self and that's who Jung was attracted towards. Just my guess on those two.

Good looking out from YS. He's very stealthy and he has impressed me since his character became braver in his actions. I like that him and BY meetup. It feels like he's not as distant when I see them discussing things over. Also the fight scene was pretty quick, but I liked how they didn't attack too madmen like and a lot of it was in an order. Fight scenes with a lot of people can be messy, so I'm glad it was more like a dance than just random slashing if that makes any sense. Lol

The Kim clan is so ruthless though. It's crazy to think this happened all within the palace grounds. How far has Hun gone where he is actually being physically threatened by LY in the preview?

WARNING: LONG POST.

Dear fellow moonlighters. So my stats mid-term is next week but instead of diligently studying like I’m supposed to…my mind had a different idea and thought it would be great to dedicate all my knowledge of statistics and probability into making predictions of what scenes are we getting in the next 6 episodes (but hey, don’t blame me, after seeing that preview of episode 13 and all the trolling that PD-nim did to us with the previous previews I’d like to base my assumptions on a more rational thinking XD)

With that being said…

Let me introduce you to MDBC-STATS 1A03: Introduction to Moonlight Skinship Statistics and Probabilities (can any of you come up with a better course name? lols.)

Chapter 1: Determining Probabilities for Each Scenario

So far in 12 episodes, we’ve got:

• Kiss scene (on the lips): 1 (ep 7) -> 1/12

• Kiss scene (on the cheek): 1 (ep 10) -> 1/12
• Raon dressed up as a woman: 3 (ep 4, 8, 9/10) -> 3/12 = 1/4
• Yeong jealous scene: 2 (ep 7, 10) -> 2/12 = 1/6

• Any huge physical contacts (ie. hugs/bridal-style carry/sitting on laps/piggy-back ride/head-resting-on-lap, head-resting-on-shoulder, etc.): 3 (episode 1, 6, 12) + 1 (ep 12) + 1 (ep 12) + 1 (ep 10) + 1 (ep 10) + 1 (ep 8) = 7 -> 7/12

• Holding hands: 7 (ep 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12) -> 7/12

• Cute stares/while giggling: 3 (ep 10, 11, 12) -> 3/12 = 1/4

• Yeong watching Raon sleeps: 2 (ep 5, 10) = 2/12 = 1/6

• Stroking cheeks/face touching (ie. including wiping tears, eye-brow touching BUT NOT flicking on foreheads): 6 (ep 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12) -> 6/12 = 1/2

• Yeong being swoony: 12/12 = 1 (lol.)

 

NOTE: the probabilities above are not very accurate since they’re taken based on very few episodes (PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AS I’M NO STATS EXPERT AND ONLY DOING THIS FOR FUN)

Chapter 2: Determining Probabilities for the Aforementioned Scenarios Occurring in Future Episodes

Basic concept:

Spoiler

• The probability of two mutually exclusive events happening at the same (usually associated with the word ‘and’) is the product of the two individual probabilities.

• The probability of one event occurring or another one occurring (and they are mutually exclusive) is the sum of each individual probability

 

Let's put our knowledge into test!

Sample problems:

1. What’s the probability of a kiss on the lips happening in the next episode?

Sadly, based on the data we’ve gathered in chapter 1, the probability of Yeong and Raon kissing on the lips in episode 13 is only 1/12 = 8.3%. BUT REST ASSURED. First, let’s move on the to the next question.

2. What’s the probability of a kiss on the lips happening once in the remaining 6 episodes?

 (i.e. What’s the probability of a kiss on the lips happening in either episode 13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 or 18?)

GOOD NEWS!

The answer is: 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 6/12 = 50%!!!

Okay, that’s easy. So let’s increase the difficulty of the question.

3. Since we moonlighters have been complaining about the lack of variety in Raon’s attire, let’s predict what’s the probability of her kissing Yeong AND wearing a beautiful hanbok in the remaining 6 episodes.

First of all, we need to find the probability of her wearing a hanbok in any of the 6 episodes.

That would be: 1/4 (based on the data from chapter 1) x 6 = 150%

 

Now, I know probability can’t exceed 100%, but for entertainment purposes (disregarding all mathematical rules that exist) and by the power of all holy drama gods out there, let’s say this is true. This means WE WILL MOST CERTAINLY SEE RAON WEARING A BEAUTIFUL HANBOK IN FUTURE EPISODES.

So what’s the probability of her wearing a hanbok and kissing Yeong (in the remaining 6 episodes)?

Easy peasy. Multiply their probabilities together, and then repeat that six times.

(1/12)(1/4) x 6 = 12.5%

SO EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN IN EPISODE 13, REST ASSURED MOONLIGHTERS BECAUSE IT HAS A 12.5% CHANCE OF HAPPENING IN ANY OF THE FUTURE EPISODES!

4. Now calculate the probabilities of the scenes that you want happening!

Well personally, I want to see the scene in which Yeong gets jealous, and then he will punish Raon by kissing her on the cheek, and then proceed to carry her bridal-style as they cuddle together (ALL in one episode)

The probability of that happening is:

• Prob. of Yeong being jealous: 1/6

• Prob. of Yeong kissing RO on the cheek: 1/12

• Prob. of Yeong carrying her bridal-style and cuddling her together (count as one category): 7/12

 

All together: (1/6)(1/12)(7/12) = 0.00810 = 0.8 % (awwww man)

BUT probability of it happening in either of the remaining six episodes is 0.8% x 6 = 4.8% = appx. 5% (WOOHOO!)

- - - - - - - - - - - -

In conclusion, fellow moonlighters:

• Yeong is 100% guaranteed to continue being swoony in the remaining six episodes (prob of that is 600%! lol)

• Probability of Raon and Yeong kissing on the lips is 50%

• Raon is 100% guaranteed to be seen wearing a hanbok in any of the future episodes

• There’s a 12.5% chance that Raon will kiss Yeong while she’s wearing hanbok.

Should I build you a monument, chingu?  Coz you just keep raising the bar of your awesomeness with the character analysis. Thank you!

I'll definitely look forward to reading YeongOn's analysis. If it doesn't burden you, can you please write it a bit longer? One page length will do.
