a show so quick that you dont binge it, it binges you.
ever watched the medical Kdrama, then you have seen all the beats for the show The Trauma Code, that being said just like the saying goes if the wheel isn't broken no need to reinvent it.the show, just like how the doctors get no rest when the trauma code comes through blazes past in episodes with it fast pace, with story beat fit, in context cramped into episodes that could have easily been 2 or 3 episodes in other dramas.
my usual nitpick for any show comes down to its length being far longer than the content the show has to offer, this show, on the other hand, joins the small company of shows that gives the impression of having enough stories to fill a 16ep schedule yet fit into an 8ep format.
the show shines in its character dynamics, even if they don't break the mould they fit it perfectly. out of the system doctor, young doctors looking for purpose, residents that get inspired by the doctor's skills and nurses that act as strong backbone and never forget the system that is stuck in the old ways acting as a hindrance.
the medical scenes that feel visceral and up close, getting all the red and mushiness to get the squeamish their fill.
the show gets an easy 8 rating. it is a show so quick that you dont binge it, it binges you.
