Honest Swan

It seems you missed the part where he started having misunderstandings about her. He's been sick all day and he felt like she wasn't paying attention or try to check on him. So it felt for him, she wasn't worried for him. And as a result, he is thinking the feelings aren't reciprocated.
So now other girls are telling him that they had something for him. So them showing interest implies to him that he can get his feelings reciprocated from them. Also, she told him she had two guys she wanted to know. So now he's tempted to do the same. He's thinking she not in love as I am, so maybe I should keep my options open too.

I think this is the only show where I panic more when they go on a date than get excited about it. Man, I keep cringing so much. This confirms my suspicion, men need to have sort of experience when talking/dating women. They are so frustrating to watch if they are so clueless😂. I always thought a clueless guy can be considered cute or innocent. But not anymore. You need some experience. And unfortunately this is what this show gives them. I guess they have to make even more mistakes to learn even more. Its unfortunate for the girls who want to develop something from this show. It won't work unless they are willing to be more patient and take a lead sometimes.

So I am not expecting any serious relationship to develop from this show. They should just show up make lots of mistakes, learn a lot and try to use that in the future relationships.

I guess Gyuri is completely edited out today. I didn't see her much in the episode. Ever since they starting cutting her scenes from her scandal, most gyuri fans have tanked the ratings. So, I am expecting a lot of angry/negative comments to fill this comment section.

I am new to the Bi sexuality thing. I am straight but I guess I got curious to check out the show. From what I have seen, even though they claim to be Bi, I see they have a stronger preference to the same sex. Even their chemistries seems stronger with the same sex than opposite sex. Thats just what I saw at a glance. It seems like settling with the opposite sex is like their last resort. Like girls have stronger attraction to other girls. But if that doesn't work, oh well, I guess I will go for the boys then kinda vibe. I say that because I haven't seen any one saying that an opposite sex is their first choice and are looking to make things work first.
All I see is that if someone likes both a girl and boy, the opposite sex is very down on the list. Maybe a bi sexual person can tell me what is happening.

Nope, they are staying for three days. That is why the episodes are spread like that. My guess is that most of the queer shows don't get that much budget. They didn't even get panelists.

It seems you are falling to the editors trap. They have less than a week. There's little room for change. It would take an immense amount of effort to have Yukyung changing her decision. That movie date sealed it for me or them. She seems mature in how she handles misunderstandings. She looks to resolve them when they come up. And if indeed misunderstandings happen, I think she has given a lot of herself to Wooyeol to even choose another person at the end. Juhyeon is admirable. I bet you would think so too if he expressed interest so straightforward like he does. But thats just it. You just admire and respect them. I don't think it will go beyond that with Yukyung because even on their date, its Wooyeol in her mind.

To be fair to both of them, they're in a dating show. They're meant to explore on the show and choose the one to date outside it. But we just have our opinions as viewers because we're too invested in them. We like a good loyal man/woman on a show because we picture or relate being on the receiving end of that. So, gender is a huge factor for that.

If you're a girl, you picture a man being loyal to you. So you will be overly critical to the men who are 'testing waters' on the show especially when your favorite girl seemingly has settled with her choice. And vice versa. But if its a girl exploring, who you can relate, oh well, she's just being cautious with her choices. Like @blair told me in the comments below, she has self-respect.

It doesn't look good when a girl throws herself to a man, right? But we love a good story where a man throws himself to one girl even at the expense of him being called desperate or needy. He's just staying loyal to her. We just push the girl to notice him until the show is over. Minju has been loyal. But most, based on your bias, would want her to move on. I am yet to see someone pushing for Seongmin to eventually notice her. See, everyone would want to identify with a girl with options and not without one. But the tricky part is when the other counterpart also has options. It feels unfair because YOU want to be the only one with them and then be like I have now chosen you out of all these people. So feel honored. Well, we are not shameless to think that out loudly, but you get the gist of it.

I honestly get the sentiments (bias) because its shaped by the society and our experiences.

I think thats the only positive ending I can take out from the show. At least we got to see her liberated. The rest is dark.

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?
