Both have themes of SA set in high school, stigma, bystanders who must come to terms with their decisions, mental health repercussions, the long journey towards healing, and people who stand with and pursue justice for the FLs.
Both are stories centered around SA, how family members influence the decision of whether or not to report, stigma, corruption by those in position of power, and the emotional toll of it all. The MLs seek vigilante style justice in their own hands from the offenders and serve time for their acts. The FLs demonstrate both despair and resiliency, ultimately relocating to rebuild their life.
Similar plot lines, different settings. Both have an underdog vibe with programs that are under valued by those in administration.
The Male leads are exceptional in their professions and are recruited into their current position by someone high ranking. Younger second male leads drag their feet at the start but agree to be taken under the wings of the male leads and have a growth arc. Both face budget challenges to their programs and toxic workplace politics, but manage to develop key alliances with colleagues. Both prioritize the people under their care—patients and students. Male leads are take charge and headstrong as they advocate for their programs. Each male lead has a back story that drives their “why” that everyone is not privy to that may cause misunderstandings at first. The team chemistry is great in both.
No romance in Trauma Code, while the male leads in TWT each have their love interests.

Both shows focus on adjusting to living in a different country. In My Name is Gabriel, the participants live someone else’s life in all respects. In Busan Boys, the participants live together and are trained to take on different jobs while also having some fun as if on a working holiday.
