In the 18th episode of tvN STORY's 'Can We Love Now', airing on the 10th, the follow-up story of Kang Ye-won and radiologist Kim Sang-hoon's first blind date will be revealed, along with the introduction of Cheon Jeong-myung's third blind date partner.
Kang Ye-won continues her street date in Seongsu-dong with her blind date partner Kim Sang-hoon. They enjoy a sweet time together, seemingly oblivious to the passersby, and Kim Sang-hoon shares, "It felt really good because it reminded me of the fresh romance days." As they walk side by side, getting close enough to smell each other's scents, they head to a perfume workshop to create their own fragrances, sharing a common interest. Kim Sang-hoon mentions that he liked a now-discontinued perfume from a certain brand, to which Kang Ye-won responds that it is a fragrance she also loves and used during her high school days. The two get closer, leaning in to smell each other’s scents, creating a subtle pink atmosphere as their faces nearly touch. After discovering they share similar MBTI types, blood types, and even favorite scents, Kang Ye-won expresses her amazement, saying, "How can this be?" and adds, "He looks like a sexy man," and "My heart flutters more," revealing her excitement. During the date, Kang Ye-won's innocent flirting continues alongside Kim Sang-hoon's active flirting, promising to ignite viewers' dopamine levels.
As they continue to build mutual affection, the two move to a cocktail bar and take selfies, enjoying a special time together. While getting to know each other's first impressions and dating styles, Kang Ye-won and Kim Sang-hoon share honest reviews of their date, with Kang Ye-won describing herself as a novice in dating, expressing hope that she will be more skilled by their next meeting. Meanwhile, under the pretext of sending photos, Kim Sang-hoon asks Kang Ye-won for her phone number, raising curiosity about whether she will actually give it to him.
Next, the story of Cheon Jeong-myung starting his third blind date in a calm, wood-toned café unfolds. Unlike the tense first date, he shows a different side, naturally considering his partner and making a good impression with his changed attitude. The date, held in front of the blind date partner's alma mater, adds a unique twist. Cheon Jeong-myung's curiosity is piqued by the fact that his date has the same profession as his mother, and it is reported that their conversation flowed seamlessly. He compliments his date, saying, "I think it's cool to see someone who has been in one field for over 10 years," creating a relaxed atmosphere. Cheon Jeong-myung and his date find an unexpected commonality in 'military discipline' and continue their conversation, sharing stories about their past relationships. When discussing the date's failed crush, Cheon Jeong-myung sweetly remarks, "You will regret it. That person will," and they discover that the date's father is from the same military unit as Cheon Jeong-myung. Attention is drawn to whether this intriguing connection will become their fate. As they move to a different location, the two naturally link arms on the slippery path, leading to an explosion of excitement.
The 18th episode of 'Can We Love Now', featuring Kang Ye-won's thrilling date filled with happiness and Cheon Jeong-myung's more skilled dating, will air on Monday, the 10th, at 8 PM on tvN STORY.
