Excitement Sparks Between Kang Ye-won and Her Match on 'Can We Love Now?'

In the latest episode of tvN's 'Can We Love Now?' (이젠 사랑할 수 있을까), actress Kang Ye-won experienced a thrilling first encounter with her match, a traditional Korean medicine doctor. During the broadcast on March 24, viewers witnessed the chemistry between the two as they met for their second date.

Upon the arrival of her date, Kang Ye-won expressed her surprise at his appearance, saying, "Hmm? Who is this handsome man?" She described him as clean and intellectual, noting that his height, shoulders, neat appearance, and hairstyle were all to her liking. Her date reciprocated the compliment, calling her a "girl-like presence" and noting her sparkling eyes, which he found adorable and fitting for his ideal type.

The conversation took a playful turn when they revealed their ages. The male lead, born in 1981, was two years younger than Kang Ye-won, who playfully referred to him as a "friend" and expressed a desire to speak informally in the future. He also revealed that he is a representative of a clinic in Gangnam, specializing in rehabilitation medicine.

The date quickly escalated as he offered her a shoulder massage, leading to their first physical contact. Their conversation continued to flow, with the male lead showcasing a unique style of flirting. Both being from Gangnam, they discovered they were neighbors, and when Kang Ye-won mentioned her desire to be a salaried worker in her next life, he cheekily responded, "Shall I pay you a salary?" This prompted Kang Ye-won to joke in an interview, "Isn't that a proposal on the first date?!" She expressed her excitement about his boldness, saying, "I like that kind of courage; someone who approaches me directly is thrilling."

As they discussed family, Kang Ye-won shared that her participation in the show was motivated by her desire to marry for her parents' sake. Her date, who mentioned he also enjoys being filial, resonated with her sentiments, leading her to appreciate him even more. He even offered to help with her parents' health, which she found reassuring.

The conversation then shifted to religion, where Kang Ye-won impressively guessed his baptismal name, leaving him pleased with their connection. With their values aligning, she cautiously suggested, "Is this fate?" hinting at a promising future for the pair.
