Broadcaster Joo Byung-jin (67) and lawyer Shin Hye-sun (54) got closer to each other on their second date.

The second meeting between Joo Byung-jin and Shin Hye-sun was depicted on the tvN story ‘Can I Love Now?’ that aired on the 13th. On a rainy and atmospheric day, the two go on a romantic bus date with no destination.

The two sat side by side in the back seats and continued their small talk. When Joo Byung-jin worried about the speed of late love, Shin Hye-sun answered positively, saying, “I think it would be passionate if I met my real partner. I don‘t think age would matter,“ making Joo Byung-jin smile broadly.

The two who got off the bus were buying umbrellas, and Shin Hye Sun laughed pleasantly at Joo Byung Jin who bought only one umbrella on purpose, saying, ”You’re a dating expert.“ The sight of the two walking side by side while leaning on one umbrella was enough to make the viewers feel excited.

Joo Byung Jin then smiled and said, ”Is someone who controls the world trying to marry me off? It was like a scene from a movie. That moment was happy and thrilling.“ Shin Hye Sun also said, ”I was excited. The two caught everyone‘s attention as they shared the same thought, saying, “Is the heavens helping us?”

While walking down a rainy street, Joo Byung-jin and Shin Hye-sun went to a kalguksu restaurant and continued to chat, discovering commonalities as they shared memories of their childhood and study abroad days.

After that, the two visited a wine bar. Joo Byung-jin confessed, “Thank you for opening your heart and meeting us a second time. I think it will be a deep and unforgettable memory that I will never forget until I die.” To which Shin Hye-sun replied, “We are classmates.”

When Joo Byung-jin asked her how it felt meeting him for the second time, Shin Hye-sun said, “To be honest, (my first impression) seemed cold. But he was surprisingly considerate, so I could feel his warmth. This person said, ”I thought, ’When I see you again next time, you‘ll have some charm that I haven’t seen,‘ and it turns out that’s true.“

Shin Hye-sun also said, ”You‘re so wise when you say things. I’m learning so much. When I first met you, (the temperature of your heart) was 36.5, but when I saw you today, it was 46.5,“ drawing attention by expressing her affection.

Meanwhile, in the trailer, Joo Byung-jin asks Shin Hye-sun, ”Are you sure that love will ignite? I fall apart in an instant. Can you love me to that extent?“ raising curiosity about the progress of their relationship.
