Episode 18 of tvN STORY ‘Can I Love Now’, which will air on the 10th, will reveal the follow-up story of Kang Ye-won and radiologist Kim Sang-hoon‘s first blind date, as well as Cheon Jung-myung’s third blind date partner.

According to the production team, Kang Ye-won and her blind date boyfriend Kim Sang-hoon continue their date on the streets of Seongsu-dong. They spend their sweet time without paying attention to the people passing by. Kim Sang-hoon also shares his thoughts, saying, “It felt like the innocent days of love, so I felt really good.” The two, who have become close enough to smell each other‘s scents as they walk side by side, go to a perfume workshop to make ‘perfume’, a common interest. Kang Ye-won tells Kim Sang-hoon that she liked a now-discontinued perfume from a certain brand, and that it is a perfume that she also loves very much and that it is a product she used when she was in high school. Kim Sang-hoon and Kang Ye-won press against each other to smell each other’s scent, and their faces get so close that they almost touch, a subtle pink current lingers. Kang Ye-won exclaims, “How is it possible?” to the other person who has the same MBTI, blood type, and favorite scent, and shares her heart-fluttering reviews, such as, “He looks like a sexy man,” and “I feel more drawn to him.” Even during the date, Kang Ye-won‘s innocent flirting and Kim Sung-hoon’s active flirting continue.


The two people who gradually develop feelings for each other move to a cocktail bar and spend special time taking selfies. Kang Ye-won and Kim Sang-hoon, who are getting to know each other‘s first impressions and dating styles, share honest reviews of their dates, and express that they are in the middle of dating and that they will be more experienced next time they meet, expressing their anticipation for their next meeting. Meanwhile, Kim Sang-hoon asks Kang Ye-won for her phone number under the pretext of sending her a photo, and curiosity grows as to whether Kang Ye-won will actually give him her number.

Then, the story of Cheon Jung-myung, who starts his third blind date in a calm, wood-toned cafe, unfolds. Unlike the tense first date, Cheon Jung-myung’s changed attitude naturally takes the other person into consideration and impresses them, drawing attention. It will add a unique touch to the date held in front of the blind date‘s alma mater. Cheon Jung-myung’s curiosity explodes when he sees the blind date girl who has the same job as his mother, and the two people‘s tiki-taka never stops. He lightens the mood by complimenting his blind date, saying, “I think it’s cool when I see people who have been in the same field for more than 10 years.” The blind date girl and Cheon Jeong-myeong find an unexpected commonality of “military discipline” and continue their conversation for a while, and while talking about each other‘s love history, Cheon Jeong-myeong sweetly comments, “You’ll regret it. That person.” He also discovers a commonality between the blind date girl and Cheon Jeong-myeong‘s father, who was in the same unit as him during his military days. Attention is focused on whether this strange relationship will become their fate. While moving between locations, the two naturally link arms on the slippery road, and their skinship continues, making the excitement explode.

The show airs at 8 p.m. on the 10th.
