Mnet‘s ‘Couple Palace 2’ is heralding another tectonic shift in love lines.

‘Couple Palace 2’ contains a couple matching story of single men and women looking for their perfect marriage partner. As the training camp divided into the ‘Couple Zone’ and the ‘Single Zone’ continues, unpredictable and multifaceted relationships attract attention. The production team pointed out the changed love lines along with variables that will shake up the romance landscape, such as the appearance of a new competitor in the second half.


● “Oh Seung-yeon IN” New face who arouses jealousy

According to the production team, Oh Shin-da, who listed financial power as the main condition for marriage, approaches dentist Kim Ji-woong, but is conscious of Lee Jung-won, who revealed that she has 1 billion won in debt, and is at the center of a complicated polyamorous relationship. She and Lee Jung-won are showing special chemistry as the hot couple recognized by everyone as ‘Couple Palace 2’. In the midst of this, Lee Jung-won begins to show interest in musical actress Oh Seung-yeon, foreshadowing the beginning of another chaotic love line. Oh Shin-da also confessed that he felt betrayed after witnessing Lee Jung-won and Oh Seung-yeon enjoying a snowball fight date. The appearance of a strong new face is fleeting, but the couple zone entry of Oh Shin-da and Lee Jung-won is revealed, and the plot is full of twists and turns.



● The three men surrounding pharmacist Bae Joo-hee in “Kwon Young-taek IN”

‘Rookie pharmacist’ Bae Joo-hee is by far the most popular cast member of ‘Couple Palace 2’, who has been receiving a lot of attention since the beginning. The confrontational structure has been formed between oral surgeon Choi Jae-yeon, who is showing a straightforward romance towards Bae Joo-hee, and dermatologist Lee Sang-kyung, who has a devilish charm that induces laughter. In the midst of this, new character Kwon Young-taek is emerging as a dark horse at the end, causing confusion in the love line. With the appearance of Kwon Young-taek, the CEO of an indie agency with full of charm who caught everyone’s attention with his warm styling, Bae Joo-hee also showed a wavering appearance, making one wonder where her heart will lead.


● Will Hwang Jae-geun, who is known as “Seo Jin-ju IN”, turn his back on Yoo Hye-won?

The choice of Hwang Jae-geun, an employee of a large Japanese company who joined Meggi, is also a point of interest. Hwang Jae-geun, who went on a blind date with Yoo Hye-won and Seo Jin-ju, said to Yoo Hye-won, “She always seems like a stimulating person,” while he was attracted to Seo Jin-ju‘s comfortable and stable appearance, saying, “It feels like she’s wearing clothes with every single button neatly aligned.” Seo Jin-ju is also at the center of a love triangle with Bae Joo-hee, Lee Sang-kyung, and Choi Jae-yeon, and is currently creating a romantic atmosphere with Lee Sang-kyung. However, the person who truly matches her external ideal type is Hwang Jae-geun. It will be interesting to see whether Seo Jin-joo will hold Hwang Jae-geun‘s hand.

In the meantime, the female catfish Ha Soo-jin’s activities were also foreshadowed at the end of the last 6th episode. It makes us even more curious about how the chaotic love line will unfold on Palace Week‘s journey.

‘Couple Palace 2’ airs simultaneously on Mnet and tvN every Wednesday at 10:40 p.m.
