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!

The show is episodic but the characters grow linearly. With just 8 episodes however not much depth to it yet. It seems to be based on a webtoon but I've not read it so idk how accurate. It's actually fascinating to know that the lead is inspired by a real doctor named Lee Guk-jong. I'm giving additional kudos that they had onsite Doctor consultants so they can recreate the surgery scenes as grounded as possible.

I really love medical shows like Chicago med and House but this wasn't what I expected lol it's so chaotic. I love it. Especially on the character side...The characters are so dramatic. There's some dreaming sequences which I find funny. The acting is quite animated so that might turn some people off.. they're very loud. A lot of shouting and unprofessionalism. Definitely need a good amount of suspension of disbelief.

The lead is really good. He's the hand of god 100% good mc lol he can do basically almost everything. He's straightforward rude with the doctors but he cares about saving the lives of his patients. Honestly it feels more action show than drama. My favorite is during surgery scenes the bodies look so real. It can get quite bloody. Some episodes were quite touching while others I'm just laughing by how romanticized it was. There's a hero filter on this show which makes the villains very one note. I can't wait for season 2.

This is an excellent medical drama that is actually about the medicine rather than the medical staff seeing how many different places in the hospital there are where they can hook up. The three leads are great in their roles....the arrogant but extremely talented trauma surgeon; the young, insecure assistant and the feisty senior nurse. Ju Ji-hoon,, Choo Young-woo and Shin Ha-young bring these characters to life with just the right amount of arrogance, rookie anxiousness and steadfast foundation respectively.

The series has a perfect mix of dramatic medical rescues/surgeries and office politics with a small dose of comedy. Once I started watching, I couldn't stop. And now that I've watched all of the episodes, I pray that there will be a season 2 in the future.

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.

I absolutely adored this movie, or shall I say series, for its brilliantly crafted plot. It's rare that I find myself so engrossed that I binge-watch an entire drama in just one day, but this one hooked me from the start. The scenes oscillated between hilariously funny moments that had me laughing out loud and gripping, intense drama that kept me on the edge of my seat.

While the characters themselves were often unlikeable, which was a testament to the exceptional acting, this only added to the allure of the series. It was fascinating to watch such well-rounded performances where the actors brought depth to characters that were easy to despise yet impossible to ignore. The writing was sharp, the direction was spot-on, and the production values were top-notch, making every aspect of this series truly lovable.

Kudos must go to the entire team behind this project - from the scriptwriters to the directors, the cinematographers to the costume designers, and especially the actors who breathed life into this compelling world. Every element worked in harmony to create an unforgettable viewing experience. I give it a solid 10/10 for not just entertaining but for leaving a lasting impression with its storytelling prowess.
