[Drama Review] 'Emergency Couple' - Episode 14

EMERGENCY COUPLE EPISODE 14

It's White Day on Emergency Couple, a day when men pay women back for Valentine's Day. Briefly, on Valentine's Day women get the men sweets. On White Day, it's the other way around. Sang Hyuk has bought Young Ae some candy for White Day. Even Yong Gyugets into the spirit, and purchases a large basket of goodies for Ah Reum. I've kinda wondered about the Valentine's Day thing for awhile. If you have someone you love, shouldn't you show them you care about them every single day, instead of just one arbitrary day out of the year? I'm not arguing against special days, I'm just saying perhaps we need to make every day with the one you love a little more special.

Chang Min is still acting childish out of jealousy over Jin Hee. He gets frustrated when he sees her and Guk together. He interrupts their date to be a jerk, and then practically dragsJin Hee out of the restaurant. It's almost like he views her as a possession, a prize to be won rather than a human being with thoughts and feelings. At least he finally realizes what he's done by the end of the episode, with counsel provided by Dr. Guk.

Jin Hee is the same as ever. She is surprisingly calm for a woman who has two men fighting over her. It's interesting how she doesn't even like Chang Min as a person, and yet she still remembers the tender times between them. It's almost like her feelings are softening towards him, but she doesn't want to admit it. There was a lot that got in the way of their happiness, and I think that's where her mind goes when she thinks of Chang Min.

Guk is trying to feel more. Much like a character in another drama I've reviewed, 'I Need Romance 3', Guk has shut himself down emotionally. He's been hurt enough where he feels he needs to protect himself, I guess.  But it doesn't seem like he's really been burned in love, though we don't know much about that part of his past. We know he had a rough childhood, and that he's lost a patient, but that doesn't seem like enough to make him become cold like that. I know he's using Jin Hee to sort of test the waters. Maybe she can coax him out of his shell?

I really enjoyed the scene between Guk and Chang Min as they drink together. Guk tells Chang Min that he had a virus once when he left home, and once he learned to live with it, the cold went away. He advises Chang Min that Jin Hee is his cold, that he has a high fever, and that he needs to soldier through it the same way Guk did. Guk likes Jin Hee as the person she is now. That's an interesting way to view heartbreak, as a virus to be overcome. It's a good analogy: no matter how much we treat the symptoms the virus itself has to be driven out, and the problems just come back. You can drink all you want, but by the next morning you sober up and then you're not only just heartbroken, you're also hung over.

As for the other developments, I like how the writers are focusing more on some of the supporting characters and mining them for plot hooks -- we know quite a bit about Sang Hyuk and Young Ae by now, and now they seem to be developing Yong Gyu's character. The thing I don't like about that is that Yong Gyu seems to draw the short straw all the time. His puppy love for Ah Reum that seems doomed from the start, and now he beats himself up over the mishandling of a patient. Even Guk won't let him alone about it, and makes him feel even worse. I'm not sure what kind of statement they're trying to make about Yong Gyu: is he sensitive, or is he lacking backbone? We do see Yong Gyu and Ah Reum close by each other when celebrating, each agonizing over mistakes made with patients, and each bearing a love unfulfilled. Maybe their commiseration will bring them closer together?

Back to the main story, a child is brought into the ER, and we see the return of the priest that married Chang Min and Jin Hee. He does not know that they're divorced, and several times they try to divert his conversation so he won't let the cat out of the bag. The child pretty well raised himself in the wake of divorce, and everyone offers bits of advice to help the child down the right path. Which is funny, because I don't remember him asking for advice. Guk is the most helpful, because we find out he was in a similar situation as a child. I love Yoon Joo Sang as an actor -- he is so good at playing the eccentric-yet-wise old man, and I was glad to see him back, if only for an episode. Chang Min and Jin Hee make an excellent team as they treat the child. Maybe hopefully they'll be a husband-wife team?  

This episode did leave me wondering a few things: what song did Chang Min sing during karaoke that made Jin Hee cry? Why did she cry? What malady does Chang Min's fatherTae Seok have that made him collapse? Why did Guk look a bit pale when Jin Heementioned that she was divorced? Is that necessarily such a bad thing? 

What do you guys think? I look forward to finding out!

6 Reasons 'Emergency Couple' is Daebak!

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!
