Entertaining and heartwarming.
I always trust Ju Ji Hoon to deliver and he has done it once again! I thought I was going to see him starring in a medical drama but turns out he Tom Cruise-d the hell out of this role. The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call had me hooked from the very first episode and kept me glued to the screen until I finished the entire kdrama.The story takes you into the chaotic, adrenaline-fueled world of trauma responders with every episode packed with nail-biting emergencies, heart-stopping moments, and stories that hit you right in the feels. But it's not just about the cases-it dives into the lives of the heroes behind the scenes, their struggles, relationships, and what keeps them going when the pressure's sky-high.
I also thought it was accurate how the drama portrays what all the South Korean medical residents were protesting about last year. So, while The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call it's in extreme in some ways (to drive the point home), the situations are grounded on reality and creating well-rounded characters.
On the technical aspects such as the soundtrack and cinematography are perfectly complement the story and what the characters are going through. You can feel the tension when the alarms go off, the heartbreak when things go wrong, and the triumph when lives are saved.
If you're into shows that make you laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat all at once, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is IT. Trust me-once you start watching, you'll be recommending it to everyone you know.
Absolutely binge-worthy!

The Best Medical Drama
The Trauma Code : Heroes on Call is the best medical drama I've ever watch! It contains a lot of FUN to watch. I think I would never bored to rewatch. And I hope it would be more than 3 season for this drama. A drama more that worth to watch! I would like to watch it even for 10 season. Because I love this drama a lot!Was this review helpful to you?
Tried to resist, but failed lol
I wanted to be such a sourpuss about this medical drama, but couldn't resist it's charm. Is it without fault? Nope. Do I care? Also nope.There's irresistible charm here and I loved every over-glorified, super-dramatic, cheesy, funny, engaging and heart-string-pulling minute of it. This drama is just dripping and oozing entertainment for me.
I can't wait for more of Dr. Baek, nurse Gangster, dr. Bunghole and friends. Crossing fingers for multiple seasons to come 😍😆🤞🫰

The trauma code: Hereos on call
Hmmm medical genius as House but without dr*gs and more badass. Acting was on point, I love how Ju Ji Hoon's character created his team. If it was with romance then I would love to see it between Ha Young's and Jeong Jae Kwang's charactes. Choo Young Woo did great job here, I only knew him from Once upon a small town where his role was not the best - although still medical (but for animals).I really love how they potrayed how difficult and important are medical jobs, how stressed and tired they are and at the same time no really supported.
It was good show, there are high chances that there will be more seasons - but it ended well.
!!! WARNING !!!! - if you do not like medical stuff, insides, blood, surgeries etc. DO NOT WATCH IT!!! No matter how good it is, it will be hard to watch if you do not like such things.

1Brilliant Korean Medical Drama
I hardly ever give a 10, but this new series has rapidly ascended around the world to the top ranks of KDrama.The leads are as good as those in the very best of the genre: beautiful, brilliant, talented, challenging, and funny too. The writers know how to focus and frame the episodes to keep us intrigued, entertained, and delighted with the story lines as well as emotionally involved in the questions they raise. There is not a misstep that I see anywhere. And of course in addition to focus, acting, and development—there must be great direction and timing. When we have all these and more in the best of kdrama, not only is the audience moved and delighted, but we also want more which will keep all of us from production to audience happy for a long time. And—yes—there are two more seasons planned. We are lucky kdrama lovers.

Just watch
All I can say about this drama is that it was really good and let’s just say I had no expectations on this drama as I just picked it just because and I’m so glad I did as on the first episode I was initially hooked already from the acting to the story and to the dynamics of the whole show. I literally watched this drama in 2 days and I felt like it was so short but at the same time fulfilling as they put just the right amount of the plot into the episodes where even though it has 8 it feels like more so I highly recommend this drama if your looking for something that’s like a helicopter that just takes you with them and enjoy the ride.Was this review helpful to you?

Gonna Miss Baek Kang Hyuk’s DAKCHYEO
Medical drama with a twist of action!It’s very thrilling from start to end. We have many medical dramas already so need a key point to set it apart from others drama and Trauma Code definitely hits the right point.
The twist of action in the story, also the journey of Baek Kang Hyuk before joining Hankuk Hospital helps a lot in the development of the story line. It tickles a part of society as well, and the struggle to keep the Trauma Division going despite the hospital against the team because the hospital (or even government) suffers deficit economically also reflects the real situation going on in most of hospitals.
Cannot leave out our Trauma Team! The little humor in between and their chemistry, also the teamwork can’t give the viewers other option than to adore them even more.

Medical crazyness
The cast did a great job and the acting was phenomenal, i also really liked how there was a few amount of eps.I think that they did a great job exposing the fact that a lot of doctors look down on nurses even though nurses work with the patients a lot and still understand their placement in the medical system well.
It was a short, cute ride and it ended kinda weirdly, i think they should have showed how they saved dr. baek better, instead of cutting off his surgery to show us, him alive in a hospital bed.
I'll continue to have fond memories of this show and ill def rewatch in a few years.

This drama grew on me
At first i found it silly and the war scenes gave me cringe and felt unnecessary. And I was irritated by the doctors like Dr. Yurim but as the episodes progressed it became more and more worth it, we got to see how each character grew professionally and personally, see how Dr. Yurim went from being someone irritating to someone you get attached to, how Dr. gGanghyeok finally calls Jaewon doctor and more. They are my team, they are my family.Was this review helpful to you?
Only bad thing about this show is that it ends.
Every scene was so well written, no unnecessary or cringe plots. The actors were perfectly selected for their role, no pretty face playing a soldier. Too many korean shows these days select pretty and popular faces but it just takes away from the quality of the show. The producers, cameraman, scriptwriters and actors went above and beyond to give us even such short scenes to give more context. It was actually so perfect I could cry. I kept thinking, they spent so much time and effort shooting a 2 minute flashback scene JUST to give us more context - what a team. I have watched korean dramas for the past 15 years, this drama is finally a kdrama worth watching after a loooong time.Was this review helpful to you?
A Surprising Binge-Watch
At first, I had no intention of watching this series at all. It was just one of those boring days at the office, and I found myself scrolling through a list of shows, searching for something to pass the time and I decided to give this series a shot. Within just two days, I finished the entire series. The storytelling, character development, and plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, making it impossible to stop watching. I have to admit, the only complaint I have is the number of episodes. For anyone on the fence about whether to dive into this series, I say don’t hesitate. Just go for it! You won’t regret it. I’m already planning to watch it again this week because I can’t get enough of it. Here’s hoping they release more episodes or even a new season soon!Was this review helpful to you?
Master Kim in another universe
Couldn’t help but be reminded of Dr. Romantic as soon as the trauma doctor who never hesitates and saves everyone was introduced. Just like good ol’ Master Kim.This show was amazing. Once again, not surprising. 8 Episode K-dramas always do so well, which is surprising because low episode shows usually don’t work out well because of how little time they have to show everything. But this was really an entertaining and enjoyable show.
I have to complain a bit though, Dr.Yang (Anus lol) the actor’s acting was just…not that good in my opinion. His screaming sequences just irked me and it was never funny since i’m guessing that was added for ‘comedy’ reasons. But whenever he would act over the top and scream it looked so soulless…like you could tell he was just following the scripts rules lol, and it was just always way over the top- if you’re gonna do that then atleast do it well. Thats the only thing that really pissed me off.
Another complaint is that I found it a little ridiculous how a hospital could go on for so long just caring about money and somehow building a prestigious reputation and nobody ever reporting on how greedy it was? And how the hell is it allowed to let ONE trauma doctor operate on everyone at once. I understand its for plot reasons but…I don’t know their logic is just a little…lol like even Dr.Romantic had a better logic most of the times even though they had some dramatic ass scenes too.
But besides that, the character dynamic and development was enjoyable to watch and overall the story was good and entertaining.
If you like medical shows, give it a try!
