Netflix Hit K-drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call Hits #2 on Top Non-English Shows as Squid Game 2 Drops to #7
Dang, the Joo Ji Hoon method really did pay off. And by that I mean star in as many dramas as he can possibly/physically film and one of them is bound to be a hit thanks to the law of probability. Lol, I’m kidding of course but his medical K-drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call has absolutely paid off for the cast and for Netflix as this was a streaming exclusive on the platform. Season 2 is already green lit and this week in the third week of airing Trauma Code has gone up to #2 on the Netflix Non-English shows list, surpassing Squid Game 2 which has finally lost its legs after two months of airing and dropped to #7. Trauma Code is being compared to the early seasons of Grey’s Anatomy with the mix of cool medical emergencies and quirky characters and fun tonal shifts. I can also see shades of J-dorama Code Blue as well which I loved. If you’re still on the fence this is totally the current It K-drama to watch.
Squid Game shouldn’t have split the season in 2. The second season doesn’t stand alone…
Trauma Code was fun!
I enjoyed every episode, fu ny, exciting, dramatic, too little cohesion with other depts, well acted too. Then I watched The Pitt and realise Trauma Code aspires to be The Pitt and became a caricature. It is a webtook i believe, still entertaining but The Pitt hits hard and true and I enjoyed both for different reasons. Do watch The Pitt. So far, it has been excellent. Can’t believe doctors and nurses work 15 hour shift? Insane. The Trauma Code love of running is entertaining but after reading some articles on The Pitt where the doctors never run, or not run so fast, I understood why and it was enlightening. Anyway good show but it isn’t real in a sense. Stylish though.
If you enjoyed both for different reasons then I don’t know why you’re knocking The Trauma Code for not being realistic like The Pitt. TRC knows full well it’s based on a webtoon and so to deliver those types of dramatic thrills with almost superhuman characters and near improbable settings it never aspired to be the Pitt anyway. It’s its own thing.
I loved Trauma Code! Granted, I’m not a medical professional and I don’t know how medically accurate it is, I still loved the script, acting, and directing. I was engaged the entire time, which is rare for me in my K-drama consumption lately, as the last shows I watched were on 1.5 speed.
Looking forward to season 2! I hope it’s just as good!
Never been a fan of medical drama unless lead actors are appealing to me that is not the case for Trauma Code. May check it out when there’s nothing else to watch.
Shame, maybe if you did watch it it would’ve hit #1 on the list.
Pffft
Lmao
So much better than the 1%-2% DRAMA with LMH in it.
