Choi Jin-hyuk, Song Ji-hyo shoot teaser for Emergency Couple

Here we go with first stills of tvN’s new romance drama Emergency Couple, taken from its recent teaser shoots. The drama stars Choi Jin-hyuk (Heirs, Gu Family Book) and Song Ji-hyo (Mandate of Heaven) as ex-spouses who reconnect on the job—as doctors in the same emergency room. (Let’s just hope all the romancing happens around the doctoring, because I’d at least like to preserve my illusions that when I go in for medical care, that’s what my doctors are thinking about.)

We’ll have to go on faith that these two will make a cute couple, but as they’re both actors with a lot of personal charm, I’m remaining hopeful. (Fine, I’m always hopeful. I know this. Sometimes this is a cause of more grief than comfort, but what can I say, I always want things to be good.) I’m mostly hoping for Choi Jin-hyuk’s sake, because at least Song Ji-hyo’s had a few turns playing romantic lead; Choi’s most memorable roles have been disappointed in love, and even when he’s gotten the girl (a rare occurrence, in It’s Okay Daddy’s Girl), the occasion has left much to be desired.

Together, they’ll be enacting a bickering (re)courtship, as a couple who divorced six years ago after being married through med school. Now they’re interns, and they’ll have to navigate the workplace as they figure out how to navigate their relationship. Supporting leads will be played by Lee Pil-mo (Light and Shadow) and Choi Yeo-jin (Incarnation of Money), he as the ER’s cool-headed chief resident and she as a calm surgeon. The two were once involved, but due to various difficulties never made it to the altar.

A few more familiar faces have been cast to play interns, including SNL’s Clara as a free-spirited graduate of an American med school and Answer Me 1994′s Yoon Jong-hoon (computer sci classmate Ki-tae) as a confident resident.

The 20-episode drama is set to replace Answer Me 1994 on weekends, and will premiere on January 24.

Please be good drama, please be good.. I sat through most of heirs for CJH. I don't think I can make myself go through something that again.

As for Miss Mong, I love her to bits in RM. She's just pure awesome personified. Now I would like to love her in dramas as well pretty please?

I'm rooting for you drama! *does rain dance*

Santa, my little wish...
Maybe they'll go to a masquerade party at the hospital and he'll come as Daddy-ho and she'll make that Blank Ji face in response. I know I would be speechless in the best way e.v.e.r. in the face of Gummi-Yummy! Too must to ask? lol

I read somewhere that he ends up quitting to become a pharmaceutical salesman. Ji Hyo's character was originally a dietician so she had to start from scratch and attend med school.

So glad you mentioned that. I was going: Uh??? How many years does medical school last in SK?
If you do the math: Say they were married for 3 years, MS would be 9 years! OH No!

2nd, medical interns barely have time to sleep. Same goes for full fledged doctors in ER. As interns in ER, How on earth do they have the time, energy or presence of mind to court? How????

I've seen Song Ji-hyo in "Goong" as well as a movie with Jae-Joong (of JYJ fame) and of course I'm sure everyone loves her as the ACE from Running Man! Haven't seen "Heirs" or "Gu Family Book" yet, but they're on my to-watch list.

The drama could have been a LOT more interesting and less draggy if he and Im Joo-eun had been the focus of it - having adults who are (well, him anyway) actively involved in the corporate takeover scene be the OTP would have given it higher stakes, or at least made the high stakes believable.

OOH a drama where Choi Jin Hyuk gets the girl. Well at least i hope so cause after what happened in Heir, he needs to get the girl.

Needs to get the girl, and have a role where he does more than parrot s single line for 14 episodes - in a way, the wastage of him in that is a blessing because at least he jumped back into work right away!

I'm hoping this one makes much better use of Choi Jin Hyuk's acting skills and personal charisma than Heirs did---talk about a waste! At the very least, I'm hoping he'll get to crack a smile once in a while in this drama. His Kim Won character was a veritable stick-in-the-mud.

Sincerely, for the sake of Ji Hyo's acting career, I hope people would focus on this and not talk about MC in a drama that has nothing to do with RM.

Its the same with people who go to LeeSsang concerts and start shouting Ji Hyo's name.

You may say oh RM brought them all the fame. Which is true, but this is now Ji Hyo as an actress, not Ji Hyo as MC girlfriend in RM.

Yes, this is me speaking as probably the only person in the world who watches RM for more than just MC.

Oh I would love to like Ji hyo in a drama for once too....she has such a spunky personality that I wish the writer capitalize on that. I don't think she's a fantastic actress but given the right roles, I think she can shine too.

I also hope that Choi Jin Hyuk smiles more in this drama. He was adorable in GFB because of the smiles. I don't want him all frowns and grouchy looking ala Heirs.

I agree. As much as I love MC moments on RM, and as much as I find her (onscreen) personality spunky, I think Song Jihyo needs to find an acting role that is really hers, kind of like the iconic roles she has done. So far, her roles haven't been particularly memorable. She's not a terrible actress, but there's much room for improvement, and I get the sense that given the opportunity, she can bring her acting up to the next level.

I would think most people know that a variety couple and an actual couple are two different things. But the fact is being the MC has made them both insanely popular. That's why they keep playing it up.

Ji Hyo has been in other dramas and movies since being the MC and it doesn't seem to have hurt. So I'm sure this one will be fine too.

I watch RM for a number of reasons, and the Monday Couple is just another running gag they do. It's funny, but it isn't any big deal. What I've always admired about Song Ji Hyo, aside from her looks, is her competitiveness and her smart game play. Gary, by the way, is underrated in both categories, as far as I can tell.

0
reply

Required fields are marked *

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I like Jihyo and think she's really brave and cool for being able to hang with the guys on RM but honestly, her acting career has been less than memorable. I hope this role will allow her to shine and help her improve as an actress. And this might be an unpopular opinion but aside from competitive nature on RM, her variety persona is rather bland.

They have good chemistry. I can't wait for this drama. Btw... I was kinda hoping they would cut ji hyo's hair I think her hair has been badly damage probably due to frequent styling for her photo shoots and other stuff. Her hair kinda looks dull specially on running man. She's still beautiful though.
