The surgical squad: more than just stitches and jokes!!
This medical drama was such an entertaining watch. It totally nailed the balance between intense surgeries, humour and a little bit of action. It was light enough to keep things moving but still emotional enough to make me care about the characters' journeys.
The drama is centred around Baek Gang Hyeok, this larger-than-life trauma surgeon who has done it all, from fighting in a war zone to working in high-stakes surgeries. He is now leading a trauma team at a hospital where budget is an issue. At first, his unfiltered personality might seem a little too much but somehow it worked for me. He was loud, bold and
unapologetically daring. Despite his tough exterior, there was a certain depth to his character with a strong sense of loyalty to those he cared about.
His camaraderie with the team was another selling point of the drama for me. It was a mix of great teamwork, chaos and just enough confidence somehow to pull off a miracle even when things were going completely sideways.
Yang Jae Won was the ultimate underdog. For real, watching him face his fears head-on (even though forcefully xD) to standing up on his own when things got tough was everything. It was also funny to watch him break his shell with one hilarious misstep at a time.
Han Yu Rim was the kind of character who was more annoying than helpful at the start but over time he really grows a spine. He was the surprise source of comedic relief when things got too intense.
Cheon Jang Mi was the nurse who kept things running smoothly in the background while keeping everyone's spirits up. She was playful but her dedication was evident enough in everything she does for her patients.
Honestly, there are definitely some over-the-top moments and I am not really sure how realistic the medical stuff or surgeries were. It was kind of exaggerated at times but the humour and everything else going on made it up for me. Also, I wanted to see more focus on Baek Gang Hyeok’s past. They gave us a few glimpses here and there, but I felt like they could’ve gone into more detail. His backstory, especially with his experiences in war zones and his journey to becoming the trauma surgeon he is, could have added a lot more depth to his character.
Overall, this was a solid watch. Yes it has flaws and it's has the medical drama cliche tropes, it may not be the "perfect" but it fun from start to finish!
Recommended If you’re into fast-paced medical dramas with a good mix of humour, action and some emotional moments.
