HER MISTRESS IS BRIGHTLY SMILING at Myeong-Wol again, and Boo-Young tries her best not to break her drumsticks.

She's spun with sharp swords and danced around elder experts since the second she swapped dustcloths for colorful gowns as ordered, and her reward has been naught but wide frowns and threatening grins.

In contrast, Hwang is pampered in response to each time she foolishly wastes her talent, yearned for by yet another soul Boo-Young, in vain, has attempted to please.

(Thus, when Myeong-Wol finally coordinates perfectly at the banquet, Boo-Young faces away, smiling as all but Myeong-Wol follow suit, Myeong-Wol frozen.)
