'Emergency Couple' premieres + cast to fulfill their promises if the drama reaches 5% in ratings



In celebration of the premiere of 'Emergency Couple' this weekend, the cast made a promise to donate coal briquettes if the drama reaches a 5% viewer rating.


Song Ji Hyo held up her sign, in which she wrote, "5% viewer rating promise! Choi Yeo Jin, Choi Jin Hyuk, Lee Pil Mo, Clara... We will donate warm briquettes! Let 2014 be a warm year! 'Emergency Couple' hwaiting!" Choi Yeo Jin also wrote, "We will give and donate a 1 ton truck of briquettes!" Choi Jin Hyuk, Lee Pil Mo, and Claraalso promised to donate briquettes.

'Emergency Couple' kicked off on the 24th with an average viewer rating of 2.4% and even recorded 3.7% during one point of the episode. If you're wondering why the ratings sound low, it's because this is broadcast on tvN, which is a cable network. 'Reply 1994', which was the previous drama during this time slot on tvN, kicked off with 2.5% on the first episode and eventually rose up in ratings to reach 11.9% with its final episode, which was quite a feat for a cable channel program. As the first episode ratings are quite similar, it's expected that 'Emergency Couple' will easily surpass the 5%.
