Emergency Couple

Jin-hee and Chang-min married for love, but his family's rejection forces him to abandon medicine while her mother pesters her over the marriage.

Six years later, a newly hired intern Jin-hee is scolded by ER chief Cheon-soo, the same man who saved her life the night before her first shift.

Jin-hee accidentally shocks Chang-min with a defibrillator while trying to stop an armed patient, then scrambles to resuscitate him herself.

Trapped in an elevator mid-transfer, Jin-hee and Chang-min are forced to perform an unsupervised tracheotomy on a patient in a life-or-death moment.

An emergency meeting is called to identify which intern performed the risky tracheotomy after the esophageal cancer patient later dies.

Facing pressure from Chang-min's mother to be replaced as his doctor, and threatened with dismissal, Jin-hee makes the decision to resign.
