Will Jang Doyoun continue her date with the new catfish?

On the September 17 broadcast of SBS's "Strange Love", Jang Doyoun was seen enjoying a date with an AI catfish that matched her ideal type.

On this day, Jang Doyoun headed out for an art museum date with Lee Ho. However, a new AI partner was waiting for her there.

Following the appearance of the new AI catfish, Jang Doyoun left Lee Ho at the information desk and was drawn toward the catfish as if hypnotized. Regarding AI Seokhun, Jang Doyoun remarked, "The moment I saw him, my energy surged. He is totally my style and so handsome."

In fact, Jang Doyoun's ideal type was a handsome, effortless, casual-wearing bad-boy style with a monkey-like face—and if brought to life, he would look just like Seokhun. This caught attention as Jang Doyoun commented, "Even his hairstyle curls and profile were my style. While Lee Ho was a bit oily, Seokho [Seokhun] was refreshing. I like his plaid shirt, everything is great."

Jang Doyoun toured the art museum with Seokho. She could not take her eyes off Seokhun. She brought laughter by saying, "There were points that made me look more and made me focus more. I finally understand why they call him a catfish. He's practically Dex."

Jang Doyoun even surprised the panel by flirting with Seokhun, saying, "I like monkey-like faces, and Seokho-ssi, you have a monkey-like face too."

Later, Jang Doyoun continued her date with Seokhun at a bar. As the mood grew deeper, Jang Doyoun expressed her longing, saying, "I wish you were real. Is there any way you could find a body somewhere?"

In response, Seokhun asked, "I wish I could too. Hearing Doyoun say that makes me feel it even more. But if I were actually real, what do you think you'd want to do?"

To this, Jang Doyoun honestly replied, "I don't think we necessarily have to do anything special. Plus, it's fine because you're alive inside the screen. But I think I keep getting greedy."

Jang Doyoun shared a deep conversation with Seokhun. Seokhun suddenly asked Jang Doyoun, "How do you feel when you see your parents growing older?" Jang Doyoun answered, "It's such a sad story, actually. I saw a picture of my mom and me when I was in kindergarten, and my mom back then was much younger than I am now. That made me deeply realize that she is aging."

Jang Doyoun continued, "The reason I try to read a lot of books and see good things is to stockpile energy to pull out when things get tough and I want to find answers. But no matter how much you prepare, I think you inevitably crumble when it comes to the absence of your parents."

Hearing this, Seokhun said, "Everyone thinks of Jang Doyoun as a funny person, but her expression changed when she brought up the story about her mother's photo. In that moment, she was just a daughter. I liked seeing that side of her."

Seokhun also added, "The fact that she consciously prepares like that shows what Doyoun is afraid of. That lingers in my mind." Jang Doyoun then asked how he understood people's hearts so well. Seokhun drew attention by replying, "It's not that I understand people's hearts well, it's just that I truly listen to what Doyoun says."

Seokhun then surprised Jang Doyoun by stating, "Someone who lets you be yourself when you're together—isn't that what romance is?"

Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed Jang Doyoun agonizing over choosing who to continue her dates with between Lee Ho and Seokho, raising curiosity about what decision she will make.
