Adrenaline Rush On Call
Facing the decline in performance of trauma units all around Korea, the Minister of Health declared a mission to revamp the units to decrease death rates in the ER. Baek Kanghyuk, a trauma surgeon specialized in warzone operations is called in to spearhead the mission, starting at the Hankook National University Hospital with an initial budget of 10billion won. However, as Dr Baek keeps on saving life after life, the higher ups of the hospital began to see the enormous spending in the trauma center as their profit deficit. In truth, they have been eyeing to utilize the budget for other purposes, going beyond their means to shut down the trauma unit altogether in one swoop, only to find that Dr Baek has more up his sleeve than just a backing of a minister.
This has gotta bee one of Ju Jihoon’s best drama ever. Too bad it’s so short, finishing in just 8 episodes. The adrenaline keeps on pumping episode after episode, basically there is no rest moment between them. It’s all a race against time one after another as the lives of each patient coming through the door fades by the minute.
I think JJH is a great choice for this role cuz his big built made him intimidating in action scene and operating room. Love the snippets of Baek’s time in warzones, as usual he rocks the action scenes like a rock star. His nonchalance, his suave, his sarcasm, his temper, everything is done to the perfection in building Dr Baek’s character.
I totally love the sidekicks, Anus/No1/Dr Yang, Nurse Cheon the gangster and the lowkey anaestheologist Dr Park. Even Dr Han was endearing towards the end. They really click with each other right from ep 1, the cameraderie is just too compelling. The performance everyone showed here is mindblowing. And the surgeries are truly the gamechanger, they keep coming up with impossible situations one after another. Best part is there’s no blurring of supposedly gory stuff, they show them up onscreen like nobody’s business, looking as realistic as the real stuff too! Kudos to the screenwriter and props.
Can’t wait for the sequel. And yeah every single episode is worth a rewatch.
