As soon as the backgrounds of the female participants in 'Match To Marry: With Parents 2' were revealed, the clash of interests between parents and their children began in earnest.

On the episode of the SBS show 'Match To Marry: With Parents 2' that aired on July 2, the professions and backgrounds of the female participants were unveiled on the second day of the retreat. As their careers were revealed, the romantic lines and the mothers' preferences shifted dramatically, leading the show to record a peak viewership rating of 2.5% (based on households in the Seoul metropolitan area), proving its intense popularity. In particular, the "most watched minute" of the day was the tense moment when the mother of Kwon Ye-chan, the most popular man based on first impressions, chose his potential bride.

The episode revealed the results of the secret "likeability" vote held on the first night, signaling the start of complicated romances. Lee In-kwon and Ahn Do-yoon chose each other, confirming mutual interest, while Kang Shin-woo, who suffered the humiliation of receiving zero votes in the first round, managed to win a vote from Kim Da-hye after his persistent efforts, drawing cheers from the MCs.

On the other hand, Kim Dong-young, who had ignored Yang Ha-yoon despite her choosing him in the first impression vote, ended up receiving zero votes and fell into a swamp of regret. Watching this, MC Seo Jang-hoon gave him sharp advice that made the studio burst into laughter, saying, "Dong-young, you need to kneel before Ha-yoon and say, 'I was crazy earlier,' if you want to change her mind." Meanwhile, Yang Ha-yoon shifted her interest toward Kwon Ye-chan, who had shown manners by giving her his outer garment, and Choi Jung-yoon, a former Miss Korea, also emerged as a popular participant by receiving two votes.

The male participants continued their straightforward pursuit during their conversations. In particular, Kang Shin-woo expressed his feelings to Kim Da-hye with a considerate and gentle tone, saying, "You are the only one here I feel a romantic connection with." Seeing this, MC Lee Yo-won praised his sincerity, saying, "He speaks so beautifully."

The self-introduction session for the female participants became a decisive turning point that shook up the dynamics. Ahn Do-yoon, born in 1998, revealed she is an employee at "the nation's largest S electronics company" and has fully saved up for marriage, drawing admiration. Kim Da-hye, born in 1994, was revealed to be a Pilates center owner, and Lee Kang-hyun, born in 1997, as a freelance show host. In particular, when it was revealed that Yang Ha-yoon, born in 1995, is an "Oriental medicine doctor," the eyes of the mothers of the male participants lit up. Furthermore, the mother of Choi Jung-yoon, a 1996-born former Miss Korea who currently runs a beauty pageant academy, captured the other mothers' hearts by offering a bold pledge of support, saying, "I will work hard to help raise your grandchildren."

The mothers' selection of dates immediately following the self-introductions led to total chaos. Both the mothers of Kwon Ye-chan and Kim Dong-young chose the "Oriental medicine doctor" Yang Ha-yoon. Kwon Ye-chan, who had previously named Choi Jung-yoon as his ideal type, confidently walked over to Choi Jung-yoon, certain that his mother would have chosen her, which brought laughter to the set. However, his mother firmly chose Yang Ha-yoon, stating, "I prefer a professional career for a daughter-in-law," marking the beginning of a conflict between mother and son as his personal taste clashed with his mother's criteria.

The twists did not end there. Choi Jung-yoon also stood tall as another popular choice, receiving votes from the mothers of Lee In-kwon and Kang Shin-woo. Lee Yo-won remarked, "The mother's influence is huge," admiring the strategy of Choi Jung-yoon's mother, who boosted her daughter's appeal with her active childcare pledge. Conversely, Ahn Do-yoon, whom Seo Jang-hoon had predicted would receive a landslide of votes due to her stable career and perfect preparation for marriage, ended up as a shocking "zero-vote" participant, adding to the sense of regret.

'Match To Marry: With Parents 2,' which shows unpredictable developments at every moment as the mothers' realistic perspectives intervene in their children's romances, airs every Thursday at 9:00 PM.
