"Possessed Love 2" has culminated in the formation of two final couples: Yoon Sang-hyuk and Lee Kyung-eon, Ha Byung-yeol and Chae Yu-kyung.
In the final episode of SBS's "Possessed Love 2," aired on the 29th, the last night before the final selection showcased the contestants wrestling with their choices at the crossroads of fate and heart.
During a truth game set up for the final selection, Jang Ho-am, the first to ask, probed Yoon Sang-hyuk with questions like, "Which date did you prefer, yesterday's or today's?" and "Have you found the woman you'll choose?" However, Yoon Sang-hyuk dodged giving a direct answer, stating, "I could choose, but I'd rather not say." Following this, when Ira-yoon asked, "Are you prepared to continue this connection outside?" Ha Byung-yeol confidently replied, "I believe I can understand and make efforts for whatever she does," revealing his steadfast heart. Yet, as Yoon Sang-hyuk again abstained from answering "Who are you most drawn to?", the tension among the contestants palpably thickened, mirroring the tumultuous emotions swirling within.
With the final selection looming, Kim Yoon-jung boldly made her move towards Jang Ho-am. She candidly expressed her desire to spend time alone beyond the pretext of a "fortune date," revealing her long-concealed feelings since their first date. Touched by her honesty, Jang Ho-am appreciated her sharing such precious emotions, heightening the suspense over his final decision.
As the day of the final choice arrived, Kim Yoon-jung seized her last chance to convey her feelings to Jang Ho-am, likening their connection to a "fateful song." Her heartfelt confession during the fortune-telling session, calling their moments together "precious like a jewel," drew cheers from the hosts and moved the audience, including Yoo In-na and Yoo Seon-ho, to tears with its sincerity.
The moment of final selection brought surprises, with the hosts guessing the final couples. Unexpected choices emerged, such as Jung Hyun-woo choosing Kim Yoon-jung over his destined partner and vice versa, showcasing the complex web of emotions and decisions.
Among these, Lee Kyung-eon chose Yoon Sang-hyuk, her heart's choice from the start, over her destined partner, becoming the first final couple with him. Their mutual selection was celebrated with cheers from the hosts. In an interview, Lee Kyung-eon shared her belief in the enduring nature of true love.
Subsequently, Kim Yoon-jung, despite her fears, boldly expressed her feelings to Jang Ho-am, only for him to ultimately choose his destined partner, Chae Yu-kyung, affirming his belief in their fated connection. This poignant moment was underscored by Jang Ho-am's emotional interview, expressing his deep yearning for a love like theirs.
The spotlight then turned to Chae Yu-kyung's choice among Ha Byung-yeol, Jang Ho-am, and Yoon Sang-hyuk. Ultimately, she chose Ha Byung-yeol, who had confessed seeing her as a guiding light, marking them as the second final couple. Chae Yu-kyung reflected on her decision, hinting at the inner turmoil of defying her grandfather's words for love, yet finding her true self in the process.
