Mnet‘s ‘Couple Palace 2’ begins its second act.

‘Couple Palace 2’ is entering its second half. With the start of ‘Palace Week’, a training camp that only the couples who were matched in the previous 4th episode can enter, the full-fledged prelude to a love line that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end has begun. Here, the production team has organized the points to watch for in the second half of ‘Couple Palace 2’ on their own.


● A ‘twist 2nd act’ full of narrative

According to the production team, in ‘Speed Train’, where 60 single men and women were introduced, their appearances, specifications, conditions for marriage, etc. were revealed, and if the surreal matching machine that is just like the ‘Decisive’ unique to Couple Palace caught the eye, then from ‘Palace Week’, where the full-scale training camp with 15 couples begins, even deeper emotions will be revealed.


● Season 2 variations, added tension

The compositional changes that will further increase the immersion will also add to the fun in the second half of ‘Couple Palace 2’. The newly introduced ‘Secret Card’ is an example. It is a system that tells you the number of new members of the opposite sex who want to meet you at Palace Week, excluding your matched partner. This is an important variable for single men and women in choosing the couple zone and single zone, and it is increasing immersion. ‘Secret Date’ is also expected to add power to the exciting development. If you send an invitation to the opposite sex you want to meet, you can go on a secret date. However, the rule that the single zone can only be applied for by the opposite sex in the couple zone is revealed, raising interest in what kind of stormy plot twist will unfold.



● The Catfish Trio Appear! Who will be at the center of the 16-sided relationship?

‘Couple Palace 2’ previously teased the 16-sided relationship. As each episode passes, viewers’ curiosity about who will be at the center increases. While there are couples who are already showing off their unchanging love line, there are also several couples who are showing dangerous cracks, making the atmosphere even more unpredictable.

A new landscape is foreshadowed with the appearance of dermatologist Lee Sang-kyung between the seemingly solid rookie doctor Choi Jae-yeon and pharmacist Bae Joo-hee. As Bae Joo-hee and Lee Sang-kyung‘s ‘Kyeolmanchu date’ come true, attention is focused on how the relationships of the three will change. In addition, the couple of patent attorney and lawyer Bae Jeong-won and S company employee Oh Shin-da break up due to an unexpected debt issue, showing another twist. Meanwhile, the tense atmosphere between Jeong Na-kyung and Oh Shin-da surrounding dentist Kim Ji-woong is foreshadowing a new love line.

In addition, the three catfish who will shake up the Palace Week love line, beauty model Yoo Hye-won, Japanese conglomerate employee Hwang Jae-geun, and interpreter Ha Soo-jin, have joined, so attention is focused on the remaining episodes to see who will be at the center of the legendary 16-way relationship and how the turbulent romance will end.

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