In short I'd say this drama is a cousin to Dr romantic...the vibe trauma center, surgeries and mostly the teacher there and Dr baek here is a lottt similar...
Han Seok Kyu's characters are really similar. The cool doctor Kim Sa Bu becomes Mr. Shin that may look like an ordinary chicken shop owner, but he's the kind of person who appears just in time-when tempers flare, fists are about to fly, and chaos looms-to cool things down with one sharp, satisfying line that settles everything.
code blue is a medical japanese drama that focus on doctor-heli, an emergency service.
what's similar about both?
- code blue and dr. romantic both have 3 seasons.
- medical dramas.
- code blue 1 is more in the hospital while the other 2 seasons are more of outdoor (similar to ep 9-10)
- talks about doctors' struggles.
- code blue has lesser office policies but does talk slightly on law.
- how doctors put their patients' lives first.
- both are hits in their selective countries.
- able to learn about medical stuff + many surgical scenes.
overall, it is a rather good watch and explore japanese medical drama. the drama is rather well-done but lack of recognition globally. if you like dr.romantic, i believe you will like this too!
