Long time no see friends. Just hopping back in here to share some thoughts.
The public or "official" loveline isn't new. Starting from like, 2017, every year we'd have a period where the show would push the loveline hard for a while and then abruptly stop. This is different from traditional variety lovelines where they'd usually push it more consistently but less intensely (e.g. Monday Couple). In any case, the ship isn't really propped by those obvious moments but by subtle things and a preponderance of "coincidences".
Which brings me to the spin-off. My heart was fluttering too seeing the previews but at the end of the day, it's just another show and therefore edited for us to see. I wouldn't read too too much into whether this is "getting ready" for announcement. There're plenty of reasons why Kim Jong-kook decided to take on this project -- one of which may be it is headed by PD Im Hyung-taek, one of the original three main PDs of Running Man.
Also, I wouldn't take any denials seriously rn until news comes out that they're dating other people. Kim Jong-kook has said that until he's ready for marriage, he'll deny having a gf even if he does have one. This is likely the case for Song Ji-hyo as well.
Anyway, from my view, there really isn't much unusual going on. Let's just enjoy what we're getting and continue to wait patiently.

My first moment is from ep544 when JH kinda pinched JK's hand which made him flustered and looked straight at the camera. You can see that she was trying to move to the other side but it wasn't necessary to make this skinship while there was enough space (behind JK) to move through.

What do you think guys about this?
Good catch! Although I'd say it's pretty tame compared to what they've done before. They've had skinship that was way more... inappropriate LOL. This is part of why I think the ship is still going strong: skinship like this feels really commonplace.

It could be Jihyo, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
Others have analyzed that the earliest possible SA could have started dating was late 2013. For all we know JK could've dated someone before that, especially when we know Jihyo was dating that CEO in 2012.

Hello everyone!
ep. 543 got me smiling! When JH was playing the flipping game around 9:15 and it slowly flipped, JK immediately grabbed her hand to stop cus she completed the flip
Yep, and he also put his arm around Jihyo in the same episode too. In fact, we've been getting a fairly steady stream of subtle sweet moments during the recent episodes.
Also in the same episode, during debate "Can KJK get married in 3 years", when Jihyo started talking, JSJ said: "listen carefully to Jihyo, her words are important."

Congratulations to KJK for winning the Daesang of the 2020 SBS Entertainment Awards!
There are also a few cute SA moments at the award ceremony too.

Preview for next week's episode is so sweet. Really exciting
Edit: grammar (wow do I even English)
And this:
No manner hands. As is the case with Jihyo for a long time now.

If everyone does what they should do, then we don't have a crime drama do we?
I like the writers' decision to have the reporter withhold that recording. Is it the right thing to do? I don't think so. But it's realistic and it adds complexity. She wasn't just trying to save her career -- many other innocent people's careers are on the line.
It's like that famous train dilemma: damned if you do, damned if you don't. We all have different moral compasses that tell us which decision should be the more moral one, but it is a grave and disheartening decision regardless of choice. And in this moment of internal conflict and weakness, she was manipulated by a mentor whom she had trusted, for his own nefarious purposes. I personally think it's great writing.
And look at how Detective Oh cheered her up. He didn't tell her whether her decision was the right one. He didn't accuse her of doing the wrong thing either. Honestly she probably wouldn't have had her doubts cleared up regardless. Instead, he told her that it wasn't a meaningful decision anyway, that she only had an illusion of a choice since the outcome wouldn't be affected. He finished by saying that the recording indicated a much larger corruption scheme and they still had work to do. This is probably the best way to comfort someone having so much self doubt. I think that's again very smart writing.

It is noteworthy that Chief Editor lied to his brother about assisting OJT. In the episode, there is a bit about his AG brother saying "leave the politics to me", suggesting that the Chief Editor also has his own motives that are separate from his brother's.
Also despite the romance scenes being very minor parts of this drama, they are remarkably well done. My dude OJH is smooth af.

I can't believe they pulled the trigger. This is definitely unexpected but it is realistic in the sense that the bad guys won. They may be brought to justice later, but this injustice cannot be undone. This alone differentiates this drama above its peers.
I'm still wondering what OST's endgame is. What does he want? TBH I don't think the murder meant a lot to him. It's probably a crime of passion (as evidenced by his intoxication that night). He might not even be lying when he said he felt sad after she died. But what is his endgame? I'm very intrigued by the his complex relationship with the Attorney General. Also it is still unclear what former Prosecutor Kim is motivated by. Even the thug doesn't seem as simple as a enforcer lackey. He might have his own agenda as well.

Most satisfying thing about ep 7 preview is that piece of human scum getting his nose smashed in by Detective Oh.
One thing I really like about the drama so far is there are so many characters who are ambiguous right now. Even OJT, at this point we don't know for sure if he'd done it. Also, the different "villains" all have their own agenda and distrust each other, which further builds moral ambiguity.

All indication points to OJT as the perpetrator, with the thug and Detective Nam complicit. However, it feels a bit too simple if this was the case. There's probably a twist somewhere. We also have many unanswered questions: who murdered OJH's father? Who did Journalist JSK advocate for? What is the role of the senior guy at the newspaper? Interested to see where this goes.
Also, definitely looks like we've got bit of a romance vibe after today's episode.

Seo Yeji is SO GOOD in this role. She combined the cold, leering sociopath, the alluring mature woman, and the vulnerable little girl all together into this unforgettable and irresistible character.

Such a brave, fearless duo this two. The main reason how I got hooked on them in the first place (not as a couple at first but partners) is because of their attitude towards the games and missions. Kwang Soo, and Haha provided the laughs, but they, brought the game to the next level.
I 100% am sure they were a couple, too many coincidences for them not to be
The Question is, are they still one now?
There is no indicator that suggests anything has changed.
Edit: in the latest RM episode you can see them having a "fight", but this time it's more of JK being mad. Right before the 3rd mission when Twice Dahyun ripped LKS's name tag for fun.

. KJK's mom clearly stated KJK was there with them.
I thought she described leaving a note for JK which would imply that he wasn't there. It's been a while since that episode, my memory is kinda blurry now.

This. If anything that whole episode felt that way. We KNOW that SA are at least very close as friends. But the way that episode turned out, it almost felt like they weren't that close, which we know isn't true.

I kinda find it funny and awkward at the same time that she is so close to him (and maybe dating), but have to pretend they are not, especially in front of his mom
I'm not sure whether his mom would know, but this MUD episode is very strange.
When JH said that they met on a plane to New York by chance -- so many things not right here.
1) They made it sound like JK wasn't there. First of all, why would JK's mom go to the states without him, especially given JK's penchant for US trips and her likely lack of English proficiency.
2) Even if she did go alone or with her elder son, it is so bizarre that neither JH's trip nor JK mom's trip ever appeared in conversations. Like if you were going on a trip abroad, wouldn't you at least bring it up to your close friends? How could this possibly have stayed so completely unknown between them?
3) If you look closely, JH misspoke when she said New York, and hastily changed to just "abroad".
4) The show's annotation said that the trip was a RM event. That's just so wrong. First of all, RM has never had a FM in North America. Second, if it was a RM event why would JK not be there?
5) There were occasions when JK and JH were both in the US at around the same time (for work), but had days during their trips when they weren't accounted for. I have to check this again later.
6) Fans at JFK have observed and greeted them arriving in NYC on the same flight. Again I have to double check on what that occasion was for.

Right at the beginning of the latest episode:
SC mentioned that his partner from last episode, JH got the "actual" winning reward of Bluetooth headphones. JK then teased "After she got home, she complained 'why are these headphones broken' (cuz they have no wires)" as another example of Wall JH character.
Well first of all, she said that at home. How the heck did you know?
The delulu explanation would be of course he was there with her.
The more reasonable explanation would be that she sent him a message or said it on a voice chat/phone call. Now, one does not make such a trivial complaint to someone you're not close to. Imagine if you sent that to a colleague at work after you went home, that would be so inappropriate.
So at the minimum, this should ease some people's concerns that they might've grown apart and become more distanced, pointing to a lack of interactions on air.

Has KJK dropped manner hands with anyone else?
"Manner hands" means that the gentleman avoids touching the lady, and when contact is unavoidable, minimizing it.
Then there's this:
This is the opposite of manner hands: he deliberately makes contact when there is absolutely no reason to. And it's not just anywhere he's touching you know
that's way out of bounds for friends, and I live in NA where the standards for skinship is much more relaxed.
QuoteWhy does KJK not post pics of SJH on his IG?
Goes both ways. One may make the argument that they were being careful since both are officially single, but then Jihyo has posted pictures with Kwangsoo before, so that argument is rather void
In fact, if SA weren't dating, and they really were just close friends, one of the better ways of clarifying the situation would be being very open about it on places like IG. This silence speaks volumes.

KJK gives SJH a movie to act out. When she struggles, he tells her it was an easy one.
If you look closely after, he was also the only one who didn't appear surprised that she hadn't seen it.

Kim Heechul has just been confirmed to be dating Momo of Twice. This is the second cast mate of MUD in a short time to come out with public dating/marriage news. I hope this news can shut up once and for all, the people who've been saying that KJK had to be single to be on MUD. And I also hope that this would serve as an encouragement for SA to come out with the good news.

his official press release is always 'I am single', for many many years.
IIRC, he said somewhere that if he released news of his relationship it'd be when he gets married. Before then, even when he does have a gf he'll say he doesn't.

Vibe from today's RM opening:
When the girls were talking about cheating ex-bfs, they brought up the club break-up dance from Lee Kuk Joo again. Notice that YooA (current idol) and SJH were the only ones not joining in on the dance. And then they started this chant of "we can still do this, we can still find good men", and again SJH didn't join in. Of course, current idols want nothing to do with this kinda stuff, but SJH (who talked about a guy cheating on her on Knowing Bros before) staying put is perhaps telling. This could be totally a characterization thing, but I think it does to some degree support the notion that she's in a relationship.
Fast forward a minute, when JSM mentioned that YSC was the only guy there that was still single. This isn't the first time she's made that "mistake". Some time ago, she also briefly thought KJK was married. I feel this supports the notion that he's also in a relationship, and a long-term stable one at that -- so much so that in JSM's mind KJK is already categorized as "taken".

Probably he is lying about that one in happy together
If you tracked down all the times he said on public broadcasts about when he is or is not single, they just don't add up. Those statements just can't be all true, it's physically not possible.
that's way out of bounds for friends, and I live in NA where the standards for skinship is much more relaxed.

Yes. Both she and KJK has appeared in pictures before with Spartace signs/swag at fan meetings.
