In episode 9 of tvN STORY ‘Can I Love Now?, which will air on the 6th, the atmosphere will be heightened by the appearance of Park So-hyun‘s third blind date and Joo Byung-jin’s second after-date partner.

According to the production team, Park So-hyun, who had shed tears due to the age difference after her second blind date, decides to ‘overcome the age gap’ and goes on a new blind date, and has a third date at an on-site cafe in Apgujeong. The blind date partner confesses his current nervousness, saying that he had been a long-time fan of Park So-hyun to the point that he thought, “Will I be able to meet So-hyun once in my life?”. Park So-hyun, who responds passively by saying, “We should have met when we were younger”, actively expresses his feelings by saying, “You are truly my ideal type”, creating a rosy atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the two, who had a commonality of having to give up their dreams as athletes due to injuries, form a deep bond and become closer as they share their childhoods. The blind date man, who had seen their previous blind dates on TV, cutely boasts, “Aren’t I better?” and makes Park So-hyun laugh out loud. The blind date man stimulates Park So-hyun’s curiosity by giving her a surprise gift that makes use of his job characteristics. Then, a ‘funny and sad’ situation occurs when Park So-hyun does not understand the blind date man’s ‘plotting’. The two move to the streets of Myeongdong and go on a heart-fluttering street date like a normal couple. A series of cozy situations continue, such as choosing couple items and taking four-cut photos, and attention is focused on whether Park So-hyun will be able to break her long break from dating and find love.


Joo Byung-jin and Shin Hye-sun have their second after-date at a large shopping mall in Yeongdeungpo. The two, who are so happy to see each other again after a long time, are surprised by the seemingly well-made ‘similar look’, but continue the romantic atmosphere as they comfortably look at the tree like an old couple. Attention is focused on the affectionate couple as they raise their collars and engage in natural skinship at the mall.

Joo Byung-jin is also caught flustered by Shin Hye-sun‘s question, “Have you ever tried a couple look?”, drawing attention. The two move to a fancy cafe surrounded by flowers and have a deeper conversation. In addition to the story about the previous blind date, he said that there was something he wanted to talk about when they met again.

The broadcast is at 8 PM on the 6th.
