▶ Three meetings that we've prepared since four months ago
"'Can I love now?' is difficult to meet because all the love cells are dead" is a program that started with an idea from Joo Byung-jin's words, but it took a long time to persuade Joo and Park So-hyun before they were confirmed to appear. Joo Byung-jin waved his hands at the casting proposal, saying "What kind of love is it now?" but after taking courage, he is doing his best to name the show himself. Park So-hyun was also hesitant for similar reasons, but she reportedly opened up after persuading the production team.
For the two men who had a hard time opening their hearts, the marriage information company and the production team started looking for a partner who had met Joo Byung-jin and Park So-hyun four months before their first meeting. The production team, which has long had deep conversations with Joo Byung-jin and Park So-hyun, recommended people to match them to marriage information companies to increase the diversity of matching candidates. In addition, Joo Byung-jin and Park So-hyun's counterparts also had a chance to meet a total of three people according to their choice. This is a condition given equally to everyone, adding unpredictable fun to their final matching results.

In the sixth episode, which aired on the 9th (Monday), Joo Byung-jin, who is about to make the final choice after a meeting with a total of three people, applied for after-sales data to Choi Ji-in, who first met after deep consideration, signaling a new phase.
Producer Jeon Sung-ho, the director of the production, responded to Joo Byung-jin's request for an after-date date, saying, `It was hard to predictIt was difficult for Joo Byung-jin to decide just by one meeting because everyone who saw the confrontation was wonderful, and the head of the marriage information company Sungji said, `I think it would be good to meet again with the consent of the other party' gave me an opinion and decided to meet again with courage..." he said later.
▶ Joo Byung-jin - Park So-hyun, change your perception of after-dating!
In the last broadcast, Sung Ji-in, the CEO of Sung Ji-in, said "One after does not necessarily mean that they are dating for Joo Byung-jin and Park So-hyun, who are still careful about dating." You can meet two or three times and decide."
