1. THE HUMOROUS SOUND EFFECTS
The sound effects themselves almost seem like they were ripped straight from the animation of yesteryear, though sometimes the misuse of the noises is even funnier. Note the strange use of the slide whistle when Jin Ae's husband was sliding her dress up.
2. THE HIJINKS
As a drama with plenty of comedic moments (more of a dramedy, really), there are several jacket-stealing, literally-shocking, embarrassing and stumbling moments to go along with the drama.
3. THE OPENING THEME
I don't know who composed this, but there doesn't seem to be a full version of this anywhere on the OST. Like the 'Cheers' theme did for so many, this really sticks in my head. It is a great little ditty with a lot of promise; it seems a shame to limit it to 30 seconds.

4. THE CHARACTERS
The heart of any drama are the characters and the actors that portray them. Here are a few that stand out to me:
LOVESTRUCK YONG GYU
Is there anything funnier than a guy who has googly eyes for someone? How about a guy who makes a fool of himself singing on video and posts it for everyone to see? Poor Yong Gyuhas it bad for Ah Reum.
CLARA
Do I really have to qualify this? As the beauteous Ah Reum, she is a rival for the affections ofChang Min. She is definitely eye-candy if you're into that. Can she act? Well..um...
CHOI JIN HYUK
...who jumps from the drama 'Heirs' straight into 'Emergency Couple.' As Chang Min, Choi Jin Hyuk's not only handsome, but many of his antics are also downright hilarious.
5. THE SECRETS
What's a good drama without some things that are absolutely hush-hush? 'Emergency Couple' has them in spades! I can't tell you what they are -- that would ruin the surprise. The hospital is so full of them that I'm surprised it hasn't burst yet. The government should just post a "Top Secret" sign outside the building.
6. THE HIGH-TENSION E.R.
Always someone getting hurt, always a life to save. It's almost a device to keep things from getting slow. Run out of things to say? Have a gurney burst through the double doors and let the doctors go to work!
No, not that Doctor!
What are some other compelling reasons that didn't make the list? I'd love to see 'em in the comments below!
