Nam Ji-hyun slept with Kim Jae-young… Breaking a 29-year-old belief to make a bold offer ('I Can Make You Tremble')
Actress Nam Ji-hyun proposed a relationship beyond friendship, rather than just being lovers, after spending a night with Kim Jae-young.
Episodes 7 and 8 of the TVING original series *I Can't Be Flustered*, released on the 29th of last month, depicted the process of Gong Yeon-soo (played by Nam Ji-hyun) and Dokgo Dal (played by Kim Jae-young) confirming their feelings for each other.
In Episode 7, Gong Yeon-soo broke her dating principles, which she had upheld for 29 years, and spent a night with Dokgo Dal. Having grown up with strict values, Gong Yeon-soo became honest about her feelings for the first time, and Dokgo Dal, who had been cynical about romance, also began to open his heart to her.
However, their relationship became complicated due to an unexpected misunderstanding. When Gong Yeon-soo woke up the next morning and saw that Dokgo Dal was nowhere to be seen, she assumed he had left her behind. He had left the house leaving only a note that read, "It was fun!" In reality, Dokgo Dal had gone out to buy breakfast to share with Gong Yeon-soo.
Dokgo Dal, who returned late, was flustered upon seeing the note Gong Yeon-soo had left. Unaware of each other's true feelings, the two continued to clash over every little thing thereafter. Gong Yeon-su was the first to express his feelings. He confessed that meeting Dokgo Dal had allowed him to discover sides of himself he didn't know existed and gave him the courage to change. Dokgo Dal also suggested they date, acknowledging that there might be many disappointing moments if they were together, but asking if he was okay with it.
However, Gong Yeon-su misunderstood Dokgo Dal's words once again. He interpreted Dokgo Dal's confession that he had never given his heart to anyone as a sign that he did not want a serious relationship. Ultimately, Gong Yeon-su proposed to Dokgo Dal that they become FWB (Friends With Benefits), a relationship where they maintain a physical relationship without romantic feelings.
Episode 8 depicted Dokgo Dal, flustered by Gong Yeon-su's proposal, focusing instead on their relationship as friends. Dokgo Dal acted affectionately, taking care of Gong Yeon-su's commute to work and preparing breakfast. On the other hand, Gong Yeon-su was engrossed in setting the frequency and rules of their intimate relationship, causing their thoughts to diverge.
While spending time at Dokgo Dal's house, the two also resolved the misunderstanding that had occurred after their first night together. Dokgo Dal explained that he had not left Gong Yeon-su alone at the time, but had simply gone to buy breakfast. He then confessed that meeting Gong Yeon-su allowed him to discover new emotions and gave him the courage to take on challenges he hadn't been able to undertake before.
Afterward, the two fell asleep together and returned to Gong Yeon-su's house only at dawn. Gong Yeon-su's mother was waiting for them at home. When the flustered Gong Yeon-su couldn't find the right words, Dokgo Dal stepped in.
In front of Gong Yeon-su's mother, Dokgo Dal confessed, "I like you. I like you, Gong Yeon-su." It was the moment Dokgo Dal, who had previously been unable to clearly express his feelings, admitted for the first time that he liked Gong Yeon-su.
Meanwhile, *I Can Make You Tremble* will conclude on the 5th at 6 PM with the release of episodes 9 and 10. TVING will offer episodes 1 and 2 for free for four weeks starting from the 2nd.
