In "Can I Love Now?", actress Kang Ye-won experienced an explosion of excitement from the first meeting with her potential match, a traditional Korean medicine doctor.
On the 24th, during a broadcast of the tvN Story Channel's "Can I Love Now?", Kang Ye-won had her second meeting with a new match.
On that day, when the potential match arrived, Kang Ye-won expressed her first impression, saying, "Hmm? What’s up with this clean-cut guy?" and continued, "He was really tidy and intelligent; his height, shoulders, neat appearance, and hairstyle were all my style." This surprised everyone. The match also confessed about his first impression of Kang Ye-won, saying she had "a girl-like vibe," adding, "Her eyes were sparkling; she was cute and my ideal type."
He then revealed his age. Born in 1981, when Kang Ye-won noted that he was two years older, he said, "We’re friends," and approached her comfortably. He then expressed, "I want to be more casual next time," showing a bold flirtation from the younger man. At that moment, the potential match, who is a specialist in rehabilitation medicine, disclosed that he is a traditional Korean medicine doctor and is the head of a clinic in Gangnam.
The traditional Korean medicine doctor, who offered a shoulder massage under the pretense of checking her trapezius muscles, quickly advanced to first skinship on their first meeting, causing a thrill alert between the two. During their ongoing conversation, the potential match sent a new concept of flirting. Kang Ye-won, who also grew up in Gangnam, learned they lived in the same neighborhood. The potential match, who also mentioned that he worked at a research lab, sparked further interaction when Kang Ye-won, who has worked as a freelancer her entire life, said, "I want to be a salaried worker in my next life." In response, the potential match replied, "Shall I pay you a salary?"
Kang Ye-won then noted in an interview with the production team, "Isn’t that like proposing marriage on the first date?!" with excitement. She added, "I like that kind of courage; someone who approaches me directly excites me." When she asked about the meaning of his comment regarding a salary, the potential match said, "It was cute; it was a loving way of saying I could give her a salary."
They then shared stories about their families. Kang Ye-won revealed that she had decided to marry for her parents, which was why she appeared on the program. The match, who had watched that broadcast, said, "I also enjoy being filial," to which Kang Ye-won responded, "I appreciate filial children; I think individuals who treat their parents well will treat other people's parents well, too; I highly value that part and found it very attractive."
The potential match then asked Kang Ye-won, who was concerned about her parents' health, "Shall I take a look at your parents' backs?" Kang Ye-won replied, "That was the part I was most grateful for," adding, "It gave me a sense of security."
They continued to discuss religion. Kang Ye-won even guessed the potential match's name from when he was baptized. The match expressed, "Is this a connection? I felt pleased." Finding common ground in their values, Kang Ye-won cautiously floated the idea, "Fate...? This feels strange," shedding light on what seemed like a strong signal.
