In "Is it time to love now?" actress Kang Ye-won hinted at a mysterious romantic vibe while exchanging numbers with her blind date.

On the broadcast of tvN’s story "Is it time to love now?" on the 10th, Kang Ye-won exchanged numbers with her blind date.

That day, Kang Ye-won went on a street date in Seongsu-dong with her blind date, radiologist Kim Sang-hoon. They appeared to spend a sweet time, seemingly unconcerned about passersby. Kim Sang-hoon also noted, "It felt like a youthful romance, and I was very happy."

Walking side by side and getting close enough to sense each other's fragrances, the two headed to a fragrance workshop to create perfume, a shared interest. Kim Sang-hoon and Kang Ye-won leaned in to smell each other's scent, drawing near enough that their faces nearly touched, creating a subtle romantic atmosphere.

Kang Ye-won was surprised that Kim Sang-hoon liked a discontinued brand of perfume that she also adored, saying, "It's something that people don’t know much about; it’s the perfume I wear every day." She remarked that it was even the product she used in high school. Expressing disbelief at their fateful commonality, she said, "It’s really amazing."

The two, who shared the same ENFJ MBTI type and blood type O, found that their favorite scents matched as well. Kang Ye-won marveled, "How is this possible?" and said, "It was really amazing how these things fit so well together." She commented that the increased mutual affection "helped; it made my heart lean more towards him," leaving those observing excited about whether it was coincidence or fate.

Kim Sang-hoon remarked about Kang Ye-won's appearance, saying, "She was much prettier than on screen, which made me more nervous. If my heart rate had been measured, I think it would have exploded." Kang Ye-won also said, "When I first saw him, I thought, 'Phew'—it felt comforting and made me feel at ease." Kim Sang-hoon shared, "No matter how much I like someone, I tend to restrain myself; I am holding back," followed by light flirting, which made Kang Ye-won blush. Kim Sang-hoon added, "I thought if she felt burdened, she might run away, so I tried to control it within a manageable range," and Kang Ye-won responded positively, saying she liked a younger man who flirts, mentioning, "An active man needs to lead me; if there’s no flirting, it feels like nothing would start, and it might just naturally lead me along."

Continuously building mutual affection, the two moved to a cocktail bar and had a special time taking selfies. Kim Sang-hoon asked Kang Ye-won for her phone number under the pretense of sending her photos. Kang Ye-won saved the contact, mentioning, "If he contacts me, we can exchange messages, and we’ll need time to check on each other," and added, "I really wanted to feel that I was getting closer and wanted to keep my options open."

As they continued to learn about each other's first impressions and dating styles, the blind date mentioned he considers himself to be somewhat experienced in dating and noted, "Next time we meet, I will be more skilled," subtly expressing expectation for future meetings.

As the date neared its end, the blind date asked, "Have you ever thought about marrying someone?" Kang Ye-won replied, "I've never met anyone without imagining marriage; I think about it every time." She added, "(Whether I would get married in three months) is unpredictable." The blind date responded, "If a spark ignites and we get married and live well, that would be great," to which Kang Ye-won responded, "Such a (intense love) is amazing and impressive."

Kang Ye-won shared her thoughts on the date, saying, "I didn’t even realize how fast time flew; it was so enjoyable." When asked if she would like to meet again, she replied, "I really liked it," leaving lingering feelings.
