Airing on the 25th, the joint production by tvN STORY and T-Cast E Channel, 'My Child's Romance 2,' is a hyper-immersive dating show where parents watch their children's romantic endeavors unfold. The pre-released main poster and video teaser showcase charming young men and women, heightening anticipation. While Season 1 gained attention for parents' raw reactions to their children's dating, Season 2 promises bolder romances and deeper parental involvement, shaking things up from the start.
This season reunites beloved parents from the family show 'Dad! Where Are We Going?' from a decade ago, adding significance. Kim Sung-joo, Lee Jong-hyuk, and Yoon Min-soo bring back their candid reactions and strong bonds, showcasing the 'dad generation's' unique reality-based responses. Their playful banter and teasing, reminiscent of the past, add another layer of entertainment as they watch 'My Child's' romances unfold.
Adding to the intrigue, the identities of the children are gradually revealed, causing parents to react with surprise at their unexpected charms. Particularly, Kim Sung-joo's exclamation, "Call Min-guk quickly as a catfish!" highlights the appearance of an intriguing female participant, turning the studio into chaos.
The preview video for the first episode, offering a glimpse of this thrilling atmosphere, has also become a hot topic. Yoon Hoo, who has grown from a national nephew to a young man, captures attention as he takes a Polaroid photo with a female participant. The bold expressions of interest from 'My Child' continue, eliciting sighs from parents. As the children, once called 'My Child,' now display mature dating skills, parents are expected to express a mix of surprise, pride, and complex emotions.
The production team hints, "From the first episode, parents will inevitably be thrown into chaos. The dating dynamics have completely changed from Season 1." They add, "Notably, there are no participants without dating experience this season. With their experience, the flirting is bolder, and they pursue their feelings without hesitation. For parents, it's more nerve-wracking, and for viewers, more thrilling scenes will unfold."
'My Child's Romance 2' premieres on Wednesday, the 25th, at 8 PM.
