The 24th episode of tvN STORY's "Can We Love Now?" airing at 8 p.m. on April 21 (Monday) will feature the first after-date of Cheon Jeong-myeong and Kang Ye-won.
Kim Sang-hoon, the radiation therapist who provided thrills with his thoughtful care, Gong Deok-hyeon, the traditional medicine doctor whose straightforward charm stands out, and Kang Ye-won, who is increasingly troubled between the two, decide on an after-date. While preparing for the first after-date by personally making lunch boxes, she also shares the first glimpse of her new home, where she moved after 9 years.
Feeling that moving homes has boosted her energy, she expresses her expectation by saying, "I really need a man," drawing attention to Kang Ye-won's final choice. The two promise a romantic Han River date with Kang Ye-won's dog, Julie, and it is shared that there was a surprise meeting after their first date due to an accidental chance, along with the information that they had been in contact every day, sparking curiosity about the progress of their relationship. The person from the blind date prepares a picnic set for the after-date and moves Kang Ye-won with thoughtful gestures throughout the date.
Kang Ye-won then asks, "Are you kind to all women?" and the blind date responds with a perfect reply, "I only treat those I like well," making Kang Ye-won smile. Additionally, due to the transfer, her younger brother and father noted, "He seemed really nice," and "You should have met a guy like him sooner," contributing to a warm atmosphere with positive responses from those around her.
They proceed to explore each other's feelings with a lie detector, revealing ambiguous thoughts like, "I waited for your call," "I felt my heart race during our first meeting," and "I don't like dating other people." Amid the questions exchanged, the blind date presses, "Let's go on more dates together," drawing attention to how their relationship will unfold.
Finally making a decision, Cheon Jeong-myeong embarks on the first after-date. As it is a thrilling first after-date that followed deep contemplation, Cheon Jeong-myeong prepares a personalized gift for her and shows joy at her arrival. The two are much more relaxed during their second meeting, leaving behind the tension and continuing their conversation with excitement. Sharing honest reflections about how they were concerned about the reactions of their surroundings and online users post-broadcast, while Cheon Jeong-myeong shows some discomfort regarding his final choice, he tries to lighten the mood by saying, "I hope there's no misunderstanding."
Additionally, Cheon Jeong-myeong responds playfully to a partner expressing slight disappointment over his romantic actions towards other women, saying, "I think that kind of jealousy is cute," while smiling pleasantly. The two, who are more relaxed than during their first meeting, share more frequent eye contact than before and even resemble each other with their characteristic smiles, leaving the production team feeling a sense of vicarious excitement. Given that it is a particularly cautious after-date, they engage in serious discussions about their upcoming meetings and inner thoughts, stimulating curiosity.
The 24th episode of "Can We Love Now?" showcasing the decision-making of Cheon Jeong-myeong and Kang Ye-won airs today, April 21 (Monday) at 8 p.m. on tvN STORY.
