The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call

I love to see other reviews of things I personally have watched.....makes me chuckle

I can't remember a series I have enjoyed as much as this from the first few minutes to the end.

It is rare to have writers, actors, directors and producers come together to make a drama series "sing" to the audience and keep them smiling at the same time. It takes real skill.

Anyone, who has been on the receiving end of REAL medical trauma care at a top notch hospital (as I have been), will be the first to tell you it is serious business but adding a bit of light comedy is so much appreciated.

The actors did such an excellent job and 10 stars on the script..... I look forward to more of this!

I would love to see a second season for this. It was nice that all 8 episodes were dropped to watch at the same time but I could not stop watching.....as I said before.... MARVELOUS!

A big THANK YOU to wonderful entertainment!

This drama is based on a Korean webtoon, but it is meaningful in that it reflects the reality of Korea by using a famous real trauma specialist as a model. However, the drama is not heavy, and it has the charm of watching all the episodes until the end with the excellent acting of the various actors centered around the main characters, the fast development, and the appropriate wit and humor. Joo Ji-hoon, who plays the main character doctor, was a great casting for this drama, and it became a well-made medical drama despite the relatively small budget compared to other dramas. Now I look forward to the next season.

At first I was going to think this is will not really be that exciting as I thought, but when I watched the trailer. It got me hooked, and I decided to watch the full 8 episode of this drama and when I say you will not be disappointed, YOU WILL NOT BE.

I really love THE MC right here, like he was so fierce and so freaking egoistic but in good way, like it's really rare to find a hot head MC! Plus he's a man, not just some young boy that everyone always love.

All of the cases of the operation when he becomes the doctor is really entertaining, how this drama really playing with your emotions like a roller coaster and that was the best part of it!

Just watch it really! It's all no romance in here, I promise you guys. Just a doctor trying his best heal his patients in his fullest.

Being a doctor, I find medical shows a bit tricky, discrepancies put me off the show. But this one was good, CGI and effects were nicely done, Albeit one doctor round the clock on call, like shown for Dr. (anus), is not possible anywhere, let alone in a tertiary care hospital.

I liked it for its content, length, focus and driving the message about how trauma patients and medical services should not be so much about MONEY, lives should come foremost.

However, most annoying is the 'professor of surgery' being flabbergasted by trauma patient, simply declining surgeries and not having nerves. You do not become professor of surgery in a teaching tertiary hospital without literally thousands of operations. At that level of expertise, surgeons are calm, decisive and are not flustered by trauma or gunshot or such wounds. I understand that it provided comic relief - but specialist surgeons around the world would be squirming on such idiotic display- lol trust me.

Without reading the synopsis, I thought this series would just be the typical romantic comedy medical k-drama, but I was so pleasantly surprised within 15 minutes of the first episode.

As someone who has watched k-dramas for 15 years, this series was the perfect balance of comedy and action - it was so refreshing to see a confident and skilled (lead) main character who showed no signs of hesitation at crucial moments. It was also really nice to see how developed the supporting characters were. Not to say that there aren't scenes that logically/realistically can't happen irl but it doesn't necessarily take away from the overall plot in my opinion.

I easily finished watching this in two days because I couldn't stop myself from wanting to find out what happened next. I'm really hoping for a season 2!!

After watching this, I think it would be interesting to see how this is similar/different to the webtoon that it is actually based on.
