Song Ji Hyo becomes a drunk bride for 'Emergency Couple'



The teasers just keep getting better and better with still cuts of Song Ji Hyo becoming a drunk bride for 'Emergency Couple'!


Song Ji Hyo appears to be wearing the same short wedding dress she was last spotted wearing with Choi Jin Hyuk on the streets of Myeongdong in the video preview. Although the previous runaway bride-and-groom scene still cuts couldn't look any more romantic, these new set of still cuts leave fans wondering what could have possibly happened to ruin that atmosphere that day.

A staff member commented, "Song Ji Hyo has fallen into her character Oh Jin Hee. Although she hasn't slept for the past couple of nights, she is enjoying filming, readily taking on daring acting, and doing her all with passion as an actress."

As mentioned previously, the two characters marry but later divorce, practically as enemies. However, they end up reuniting unexpectedly after six years apart as interns in an emergency room.

The drama will premiere on January 24!
