Eastern Orthodox Church has preserved the true belief and the original worship practice for nearly 2000 years. Very few changes in doctrine were made after Pentacost in 33 AD.
My opinion is that this is the exact reason that once people are introduced to the Orthodox Church, they like what they see there, because it is the Original Church, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded at Pentacost in 33 AD.
AnswerSome prefer the Orthodox Faith due to its genuineness/originality and its spiritual sacraments (IE. The Holy Eucharist, Confession,etc.)

What denomination did The Eastern Orthodox Emerge?
You're question is a little unclear and could mean two things so I'll answer both. Why did the Orthodox denomination emerge? The Orthodox emerged when the eastern and western bishops excommunicated each other in a power struggle in 1054. The east became the Orthodox and the west became the Catholics.

There was the separation of the Coptics, but that was simply on their slightly different belief about the nature of the Trinity.

In short, the Eastern Rite came from the apostles. While some, such as Peter, preached in Rome, others went East and taught there. There, they incorporated Eastern, instead of Western culture. As the distance separated them culturally, the two parts of the Church organically took different ways of doing things, though keeping fidelity to Christ's teachings and to the Pope, who was, and still is, in Rome.
