Honest Swan

I think his excuses makes a lot of sense. Other girls did have an impact on him thats for sure. But I don't think the fall out between him and her is solely because of that.
In my opinion, the difference in how they express affection is what led him to look at other options. And since they are available, it kinda gives him a bit of arrogance. If he had no option, he would have tried to make it happen with her as she's the only one interested.
But having more options makes him arrogant such that now he's questioning should I really try to make this work when I have this other options to choose from. He's become greedy and wants to explore thinking there's someone better out there for him.
If he was starved for attention, then he would have tried to make it work with her.
That makes him insufferable. I think the mind games Hyunseo such as trying play hard to get isn't helping either. I saw that she could express interest and also checked up on him to see if he was getting better. Initially, what I saw is that she just sat back and kind of said, you are the one interested so make all the effort. Now with competition, she's a little expressive. She tried to initiate a conversation.
So you can say whatever, but having some competition definitely gives you an edge. It shouldn't work that way. But it just does. So his ego will just inflate as they go on.
Also, back to your point, he was attracted to her because of her VOICE just like how I said earlier. If you watched his interview, its something he struggled with that he had to practice it. Then comes hobbies, like reading mangas, they seem to have that similarity. Now where I think they differ is that they have different values and perspectives. His idea of expressing interesting is so different from hers.
For example, he likes someone gentle, expressive and speaks positively not necessarily bright. To make it simple for you, let's say someone who is like 'clingy'. Those characteristics you get from someone as time goes on. You don't just notice them from the go. I can validate his feelings on that. However, instead of maybe trying to work around that with the person, he won't. Why? He got options. 'Maybe there's someone better out there' kinda mindset.

He just doesn't like her way of expressing herself. Its interesting because he said he likes her voice. But not the way she talks. He said something like she doesn't speak positively. I guess he meant speaking in an open minded manner. In other words, she is clear about what she likes and doesn't. So he feels like they will fight a lot. One thing for sure is that he's impatient. He comes to conclusion so quickly. Just by that, he is starting to lose interest in her.

So in a nutshell, today's episode showed the flaky person become more consistent while the one who was the most consistent has now become flaky. I went back and watched the trailer and I could place everyone's voices. I could tell them apart. It looks like Hyun Seo is going to have a hard time.
I think she should have kept her options open until the end. Now that she has narrowed down only to him, she will get more hurt. But what to do. Its not like she can force herself to like other guys when she doesn't. I feel like Su Ji likes Hyuk Joon more. He is the clear favorite. You could see how she reacts on their date. She doesn't do that with either Jung Hyun or Seung Hyun.

You are entitled to your opinion. So I am just going to respect it. Have a good day.

You sound so petty, omg. Gyuri brought all this to herself. You can blame the PDs or whatever. The show continues and it has its fanbase. Y'all Gyuri's bias can leave it out of your watchlist. You will be missed never. Adios!

I knew your argument about the ratings had an angle about Gyuri even before you mentioned her. Bro, most of us don't care. I see you didn't even mention season 4, which also had similar ratings as this season. The show continues. And guess what? It will get renewed for next season too. Matter of fact, they might as well blame a contestant for the low ratings than take any responsibility. I don't see how the PDs will feel guilty. Its not a new territory. The show has always had low ratings and it get renewed every time. And me and you will be here for the next season arguing about our bias. At this point, the show has always been bigger than me and you or even one contestant dropping out or being cut.

Sorry. Its lame but we still get to enjoy it.

Yeah, maybe I was overthinking. But its interesting to watch it as an outsider.

Not really. He might have achieved everything he needed from his career and decide to either take it easy or retire.

Most of the OG actors/actress settled down and started a family and said goodbye to the spotlight. Maybe its all part of the plan. Like mine, I work myself like a donkey until age 30 and then retire. Start a family and work from behind the scenes (own something that generates income).

He was scammed out of his money and he hasn't found a stable agency where his needs are met. So it hasn't been exactly a rosy path for him to miss it.

How does she attract clout exactly? So when they post her in her worst behavior, it attracts audience? I don't think anyone goes to watch the show expecting how bad Gyuri is going to do today.
All I could say is that maybe they included her because she was part of the love story line people wanted to see, WY-GY-YG. But she's also linked to Seowon. I think thats bad of them not to include that love line. Anyway, overall, most of us go to watch the show expecting good love lines and not how bad Gyuri is going to be.

I don't know how edits makes one fan favorite. But you could say that. My definition of evil editing is including parts where you come across as a jerk without providing the context. As for Gyuri, I think we had all the context to say her actions were not appropriate through the edits. Anyway, it could have helped to have seen her self-talk to know what was going on in her head during those scenes so we could understand her actions/words.

She's not that big that they can cut her and the show will continue. That is what it means. Otherwise, they will try to deny the rumors and keep her on the show. Also, I don't know where she confessed she like WY more. Matter of fact it was Seowon. And when she was asked about it she said it wasn't that significant. So, it could change depending on whether she gets approached. Lastly, I don't understand how YG fans will be happy because of villainizing GY. But its okay, she's big to you. And that's all that matters. Just not to some of us. Just like how your mom and dad are big for you.

The face is blurred. Also, like most rumors spread online, it may or may not be true. You sound confident its not true. Or you want to convince yourself that way because she's your bias. I don't care about it though. It could be true or not. I will leave that to the involved parties.

I don't get what y'all trying to say, so they shouldn't show her so as to beat using her as clout allegations? I don't even think she's big enough to be used as a clout in the show. For example, I loved the WY and GY love storyline with or without her in the storyline.
I could say if they're going to use her, then it would be for the fans who are on her side. Cutting her out risks potentially losing those fans. As for the rest of us, I could just say, she's messing up with our storylines. As opposed to you guys, she's not exactly eye candy whenever she comes on the screen. I only hate the fact we are not getting a full picture on everyone. And it seems a little cruel to just cut her off too. They might see it as a remedy. Or maybe as protecting her from even more backlash. Using her as clout? Keeping her is better option than just cutting her off, if she's that big.

You do? I cover myself up everytime they interact. I can't be sure what wild thing they would say next. They're like babies. Completely clueless. I find the girls bearable to watch.

I guess thats a win. They can talk just that they don't know 'how' to talk. They keep hurting their chances the more they talk.

That could be anyone, including her. Share your source. This is mine:

"I just read a Korean article claiming that Gyuri was having an affair with a married man. The whistleblower was the man's wife, who even posted a CCTV image that showed Gyuri and her husband kissing inside an elevator. The man was Gyuri's boss at work and that their relationship was the reason she received a rapid promotion despite having worked at the company for only a short period of time. The wife reportedly said that she had been threatened with a defamation lawsuit if she made the affair public, but she continued to post evidence anyway. She also stated that they have a young child and that she had repeatedly begged both them to end the affair. Knetz claimed that the suitcase and black bag (hanged on the suitcase) reflected in the CCTV image appeared identical to a suitcase Gyuri had used in a previous episode. They also pointed out that the jacket seen in the CCTV footage closely matched one that Gyuri had been seen wearing before."

I could say you are the one misleading everyone.

I can reveal this much, the third experiment definitely works. Its about dating while you are drunk. Its no brainer. I once met someone and dated them although briefly thanks to alcohol. I think that is more common than not. I guess because I have my guards up when sober. When I am drunk, you just go with the flow. Again, it doesn't mean being stupid either. So I think they're just confirming what most of us know.
