Yeah, I guess we will see more of their intentions in the next ep. For their sake, they shouldn't drag this out.

Stop reading into her words or actions. Read into nuance. What she says or does is completely different to what she feels. See it this way, if she was 70 to 80% into SW, why did she ask for nickname date with WY? Also, 'I won't stop anyone who comes to me?' Who exactly is she referring to? Hasn't SW made himself clear. If she was so into him (judging by that percentage), why would she make it open for her to be swayed? And why is she asking for that other person to make the next move if she is more inclined (more than half) to SW?
Also, you didn't exactly see the joke she made about watching 'Decision to leave'? I won't go detail but that was her cue that she wanted to make an impact because clearly YK made one when she watched with WY.

Okay, my main point is that she was and is still leaning towards WY. She might act or say different, but you could see by her subtle expressions she has whenever he is around. And no, thats not self-respect. Thats fear of rejection and or getting hurt. I know that because its something I have gone through. If you want to know more about what self-respect really is just look at So Yun's actions when she asked for a date with WY. She was clear and classy to point out what was not working.
I especially liked the part where she said she doesn't want to beat around the bush and demanded for WY to be clear. As for Gyuri, I would call her avoidant. She is not facing her feelings head on.

She likes Wooyeol. At first, it felt too soon to have fallen for him (it was only just 3 days in). So she tried to play it safe and not jump the gun too early. But the feelings were there. Thats why I said she's acting like someone who has been hurt before for just going with her feelings. So I believe this time she tried to approach it a little differently. She decided to sit on it a bit longer instead of going off her feelings. Maybe she won't get hurt like the last time she did that. Wooyeol in that situation would have helped if he was like sure of himself too. Because I think Gyuri would really be expressive if she has that assurance. And Wooyeol would only give that assurance if he gets to meet you longer. Thats why he told the girls that he would need like 3 dates to be sure of his feelings. So in that regard, they didn't get the timing right and they missed each other just like that. Yukyung got the timing right though and things may or may not work in her favor.

I guess the rumors adds up then. They might not be entirely true but there are some hints of truth in them judging by how you have described her. She's not being malicious. In my opinion, she's being defensive. Being open about her feelings sounds like something she can get hurt from. So she would at least try to hide them so you don't catch on them or commit only if she gets some assurance. 'She won't block anyone' just means she's open to someone who gives her assurance. Unfortunately, she is getting some but its just not the person she's hoping it would be.
When she's talking to Wooyeol, you could see the 'forced' excitement or laughter. I guess thats how some people cope. But I think she might be hurting as well. And she wouldn't want you to catch on that. So she will try to mask those feelings but that makes her act so weird (out of character). Like when she said something out of pocket to Yukyung and she didn't know how to act afterward, so we saw her go to get Minju at the door. Its not that she was excited to see her. She just wanted to get away from it.
Thats why I feel Yukyung is slightly better than her in that area. I could say they both get anxious and tend to overthink. Well, both of them cried for almost the same reason (person). But what sets them apart is that Yukyung actually confronts those feelings while Gyuri tries to avoid them. Its not that Yukyung is more proactive than her (like how people say). Gyuri looks like a quite confident lady. She can be just as proactive too. Its just that you wouldn't get that from an anxious Gyuri.
Well, it won't hurt if you pretend its not there. But they in fact do hurt. And hiding them actually worsens the situation. And that's why I feel like Yukyung got rewarded for her bravery. She got clarity. Meanwhile, Gyuri is still trying to cope with her emotions. She simply doesn't know what to do with them.

Yeah, you're right. You know you can never know with this type of editors or producers. But also saying 'no, you can't' means you have guts of steel. I know I can't but I would try to show rejection in my own polite way. Like in their date, Wooyeol showed lack of enthusiasm. He looked so dry and boring. Like we know him to be fun and smooth, but in their date, it felt like he wanted to be out of there.
But then again he sent the text to Gyuri saying he had fun, which in her perspective might be confusing. People are saying it was like sort of showing gratitude to someone who choose you on a date. I guess I will just wait for the next episode to tell that.

I think he implied he had made up his mind for Yukyung but then Gyuri asked 'so I shouldn't mess with you?' and he didn't have a response for that.

The fire has calmed down? I don't think so. None of the brands have been linked to him and his career is basically almost over. You are the loser here. It seems you don't know cases and courts take years to be concluded. It can even go for 5 years before he gets to clear his name or not. He cried? You wanted him to laugh or? And he's popular for his face. Something I think you can't relate.

Yeah, also she might pick it up in future when she is mature and stable. Right now, she sounded like she has a lot of anxiety and worry in her life. Its definitely a wise decision. But life outside entertainment industry may be too good for her and she never comes back. And thats okay.

Yeah, I am taking a class on psychology. And sometimes I can understand people's reaction around it. Once people have that image about you, its never easy to shed off. I wouldn't be surprised if he is disliked till the end.
Also, I have a feeling its mostly the ones who were shipping him with Gyuri. I know they won't admit that.

Ooh well. Thats just your opinion. And I respect that. You can have an ick on anyone as you please. I don't even think its worth arguing on why or not you should have it. He gives you that. And thats just it.

Again, that was the point. The GR scandal didn't make the show flop. Matter of fact, it is doing better than it did. Also, korean HS rarely command decent ratings. That is why its rarely renewed often compared to their Chinese counterpart. And I honestly don't care. Single's Inferno has more buzz but I will take HS all day everyday.

Let me guess, you just started watching the show?

And I was debunking them. They probably made sense to you thats why you shared. And I shared reasons why it didn't.

Thats just speculations. They are not going to take massive loses just because of one person's scandal. They would rather cut off that person airing slot instead. If they cut down the airing period (4 months for 16 eps), it would mean that sponsors promoting their brands and the show will take loses.

Also, your comment is based on the assumption that the show took a hit because of the GY controversy. Not really. Look it up. Actually episode 9 recorded an increase in viewer ratings than it was anticipated. So going with the numbers, the show is actually doing well. I don't see how your point stands in that case.

No one is ganging up because of a boy. Its all just about your personality. Its about who you are or not when things are not going your way. And that's what you're seeing. Thats pushing the narrative too far. Calling it a 'boy' issue seems like a shallow way of seeing the situation.

I agree with you on the last part. The commentary gets too much in some scenes such that I am confused who said those words since they're speaking over each other (panelists and the casts). Its even harder because we are reading subtitles when they speak over each other.

I don't know if you replied to the comment I made. Its way off topic to what I commented. Anyway, just to assure you, I am on Wooyeol and Yugyung side. Why do I have to worry when my ship is sailing just well? Block the outside noise and just enjoy them man.

My Youtube recommendation is filled with their edits. I watch at least one clip of them per day as my daily dose of dopamine. They're just so cute.

Why do I have a feeling Yukyung and Wooyeol would have totally kissed by now if its not for us watching. I know those glances and stares. It always result in one kissing the other. Also, wow, them feeding each other is a thing now. Yukyung said she wanted to cut down on her weight and be on diet. And I somehow think Wooyeol always find ways to feed her. He feeds her like mama bird does to her young ones. Down to her mouth. Yukyung is the cutest too. Someone who gives you a share of their food from their plate likes you a lot. Her giving him her portion of her egg was so touching that even Wooyeol asked if she would regret giving him the best part of her food. If that doesn't solidify you as a couple then I don't know what does. They're the cutest couple I have seen on a dating show. Heesun-Subeen doesn't come close.

No, it was confirmed. Check their IG pages. They posted a release statement on the same. One of the measure they do is to cut down on the screen time. And when there is damning evidence like in 'I am Solo' you get cut out of the edit.

Exactly. There are so many uncertainties from your logic. Which is rightfully so given the situation. But we are just outsiders. I can trust the parties involved will take care of the situation well. If I, for example, get involved will just be being nosy. And what if I am defending the wrong person or even accusing the wrong person? I don't think I am capable of handling that responsibility. So, I believe the producers, the wife, husband and her could take care of the matter privately. I, as a viewer, will just live with the results or outcome of their decisions. I am most likely going to get it wrong if I start judging anyone just based on what I read from tabloids. Mind you, I don't know these people personally. So, my indulgence ends on the screen. Anything outside, its in their own hands.
