The couple meeting date of Im Si-yeon and Kim Hyun-joong from 'Couple Palace 2' was depicted.

In the episode aired on the 12th, 'Couple Palace 2' depicted the couple meeting date of Im Si-yeon and Kim Hyun-joong on the second day of Palace Week. Seated across from each other at breakfast were Im Si-yeon and Kim Hyun-joong. However, Kim Hyun-joong was somewhat quiet.

Choi Min-seok noted, "I heard the single zone was fun yesterday," glancing at Im Si-yeon. Im Si-yeon responded, "Me? Not at all," and added, "I bragged about Kim Hyun-joong as soon as I arrived at the single zone."

When Im Si-yeon was called to the single zone the previous day, Kim Hyun-joong went to bed with an anxious and heavy heart. Kim Hyun-joong said, "Really? I feel refreshed. I played the trumpet alone," and only then did his expression relax as he ate soup. Kim Ji-woong teased, "Im Si-yeon suddenly brightens up," and Im Si-yeon encouraged Kim Hyun-joong, saying, "Isn't Kim Hyun-joong here?"

Im Si-yeon and Kim Hyun-joong anticipated their couple meeting date. Kim Hyun-joong said, "Our parents are comfortable," and Im Si-yeon playfully replied, "I feel the same about my parents."

Kim Hyun-joong's parents were nice and gentle. Im Si-yeon said, "I thought we could have the couple meeting. The hidden condition was that I wanted to inherit my mother's cooking secrets. So just in case, I prepared something," and added, "It's my first time meeting my partner's parents." She continued, "When I first saw Kim Hyun-joong, I couldn't look at him because he was so handsome. I also couldn't look at your mother and father. They are really handsome," while presenting gifts with a bright and shy smile.

Kim Hyun-joong's parents immediately took a liking to Im Si-yeon. His father said, "There’s a custom during the couple meeting to ask about family relationships first. We have one son, and it's just mom and dad here," and joked as he asked about family plans. Im Si-yeon responded, "I love children, so I hope to get married quickly and have a child right away. I want to have one as soon as we get married," making the parents pleased.

Kim Hyun-joong said, "I'm really grateful that you prepared this. I need to do better," as he looked at Im Si-yeon with a smitten expression again. Kim Hyun-joong's father cautiously asked, "What emotions do you foresee in the future and how will things proceed?" Si-yeon said, "I didn't expect to meet someone like this when I came here. It's so amazing and bewildering," showing an expression of being deeply smitten by Kim Hyun-joong.

Then, some serious topics emerged. Kim Hyun-joong's father said, "We have a painful history in our family. Hyun-joong has an older sister. She passed away at 12 due to heart problems," and Kim Hyun-joong's mother added, "The daughter was really smart. When a child is sick, the next child is supposed to be good. So it seems like Kim Hyun-joong is carrying the weight of two people."

Im Si-yeon did not awkwardly offer consolation. Instead, she held back her tears and opened her heart to Kim Hyun-joong's parents, who showed their feelings. Im Si-yeon said, "If I think about my own younger sibling experiencing something similar, I can understand. It's a couple meeting, but if I empathize, I feel like I would burst. Kim Hyun-joong held it in too; it wasn’t easy to talk about, so I really appreciated them opening up. It felt really good."

Kim Hyun-joong fell for Im Si-yeon once again and playfully lifted her up, saying, "Get on, little one," showcasing his youthful bravado as someone two years younger than her.
