Script reading and first teaser for Emergency Couple

by girlfriday

Muahaha. The first teaser is out for tvN’s new romantic comedy series Emergency Couple, and it’s short but hilarious. It features Choi Jin-hyuk (Heirs) smiling wistfully over romantic music, only to twist his face into a devilish smile as he raises a scalpel: “Memories I want to rip up.” Song Ji-hyo (Mandate of Heaven) follows suit with a sweet opening warming her hands by a fire, only to laugh maniacally: “Love I want to burn.” Ha. I think we’re in for some laughs with these two.

The new medical workplace rom-com is set to take over Answer Me 1994’s slot on Fridays and Saturdays starting in late January. It stars Choi Jin-hyuk and Song Ji-hyo as a couple that marries and divorces while med school, mostly because they argue like nobody’s business. Then six years after the separation, they end up interns in the same hospital and have to suffer working together while dealing with their hate. Co-starring are Lee Pil-mo (Light and Shadow) as the chief ER resident and Choi Yeo-jin (Incarnation of Money) as a surgeon.

The producers are cheekily calling it a “blood-pressure-raising romance,” where bickering is the name of the game. Hee. I’m excited. I’m just a fan of a good old-fashioned opposites-attract romance where witty banter can make sparks fly as much as any kiss. Not that we should be skimping on the kisses. No, no, not saying that! With 20 episodes, there should be plenty of time for both, and maybe even a little doctoring on the side.

Emergency Couple premieres January 24 on tvN.

The evil laugh cracked me up. Fingers crossed this is more cute-funny than medical-jargon-bore-me-to-death soup.

Tbh I am all for doctors if they are actually BEING DOCTORS... romantic bickering in the hospital workplace setting can be good, if it's the sort where they drive each other nuts but actually push each other to be better people/doctors... not so much if relationship melodrama and wrist grabbing take precedence over, say, someone's gaping chest wound.. o_o

Looks cute <3

Hope it'll be more romantic and humorous than medical.Not that I hate medical dramas, there was just too many uninteresting ones this year.

exactly! i mean, i get that they want to be accurate with the medical cases/terms, but it starts to take away too much from the central plot itself.

They didn't use the hospital or ER room as background in teaser which is a good sign. Woot!

maybe that's a sign that the focus of the show won't be the actual doctoring stuff...? Don't mind one bit if it's being replaced with OTP-time!

Why do they have to be doctors? Why not lawyers, or teachers, or any other profession that ISN'T a time suck/can't get awkward with combining romance?

Either you sacrifice the doctor, or you sacrifice the romance, and clearly neither is good.

ooh I would have like to see them as teachers, but being doctors puts them in a position to bicker with each other. they can argue about medical stuff and personal things.

Please, let them sacrifice all the 'doctor' here!

I am the sworn fan of 'House' and saw every single episode of the series. Even the last 2 seasons which were pretty shitty. Loved every minute of it. And I love 'Scrubs' (pretending last season didn't happen).

Although Korean drama, I watch it for entirely different reasons - they have never done any convincing medical settings, and don't believe they will be able to pull it off. Just do what you can do best, kdrama!!

Either way, looking forward to this couple~

I'm a bit confused. JB said EC starts in late January (take over AM' 94 slot). I thought AM'94's final episode is this week? Am I wrong? I haven't seen it yet, I'm waiting till it's finished airing to watch.

It ends. There is probably a break or something for that time-slot and then Emergency Couple goes on air.

Choi Jin Hyuk oozes so much of everything... charisma, sexiness, hotness, cuteness. when I first watched Gu Family book, I thought everyone was overreacting, but after watching Heirs... the way he smiles and talks... sooo hot.

I wish you would recap this. I couldn't follow any of the dramas for the past few weeks because of my exams. I am almost done with it.
Can anything be better than a CJH drama to return to drama world??? Its his first lead too. Woo hoo.
No doubt. Am gonna love this :)
