Joo Byung-jin Smiles Over Future with 22-Year-Younger Match on 'Can We Love Now?'

In the latest episode of tvN's 'Can We Love Now?' (이젠 사랑할 수 있을까), 66-year-old Joo Byung-jin shared a delightful moment with his 22-year-younger match, Choi Ji-in, as they explored their potential future together. The couple visited a tarot reader, who enthusiastically declared their compatibility as 'very good.'

During the tarot session, cards indicating a strong connection for their future were drawn, with a caveat that they should not be overly concerned about others' opinions. The tarot reader suggested that if they began their relationship, things would progress quickly, potentially leading to marriage sooner than expected, which surprised both Joo and Choi.

The tarot reading also addressed the possibility of children. When the 45-year-old Choi expressed her desire to have a baby, the tarot reader reassured her that it was entirely possible. Joo, however, admitted he had concerns about having children. The tarot indicated that if they were to have a child, it would likely be a son. Joo humorously wondered if their son would be able to attend college, to which the tarot reader responded that he would possess strong business acumen.

The reading also hinted at the possibility of a loving daughter, suggesting that if they had twins, they could end up with three children. Joo laughed at the thought, saying it was fun to imagine.

Later, the couple arrived at a pub, where Joo lightened the mood after noticing Choi was feeling under the weather, joking that she should have gone to the emergency room. Joo approached their relationship with caution, stating that love should not be rushed. He directly asked Choi why she had not married yet, leading her to reflect on her past experiences with love, particularly her first love, which she found challenging.

Choi shared that she had learned not to hold onto pain for too long, while Joo expressed regret for bringing up potentially painful memories. As the conversation turned serious, Choi asked if Joo had practiced forgetting difficult experiences, suggesting that letting go of pain is essential. Joo admitted he was eager to know her better and hoped his questions hadn’t been too burdensome.
