BEST 2025 DRAMA SO FAR for me (and we're only in January)
This was the best thing I've watched in a while. What a way to start 2025.
All the elements of a good kdrama, packed in 8 episodes. I don't even remember when I last laughed and cried this much while watching a kdrama. One minute, I was laughing and had the biggest smile on my face, and the next I was crying and questioning life, and trust me when I say I had no expectations going into this. Is this the comeback of the good old Netflix Originals? Cos I used to love them, but in the last few years, they started to lose touch and plot honestly. But this reminded me why I love a good ensemble cast, and above everything why I love medical dramas if done like this. Some kdramas by Netflix lately lack balance, but this had that balance mastered to perfection: good comedy mixed with serious scenes and themes, some good action and just the best representation of friendships and hard work of doctors working in emergency/trauma departments. And the character development was really interesting to witness. On top of all that, it was very educational, I never even knew that emergency medicine had a whole different department dedicated to trauma.
Talking about the cast I have to first of all say this: Ju. Ji. Hoon. WHAT A MAN!!! In the last six months, I've seen this guy on my screen more than any other actor and I am not complaining. He is such a versatile actor, and his projects this past year are proof. He's funny when needed and don't get me started on when he has to act in more serious and emotional scenes. He has this way of bringing a character alive, that I can't even explain or fully comprehend. He's become a new must-watch actor, I'll be watching anything he stars in. Choo Young Woo also took me by surprise, he never appealed to me as an actor, but this was proof again that sometimes what actors need is a character to make them and their talent shine and show how good they are. I'm so glad he got this role, he and Ju Ji Hoon as Dr Baek and Anus/No 1 are my new Roman empire, I love them to bits. But seriously, a supporting cast makes or breaks a drama most of the time, and it's always so nice to see familiar, talented faces make the wonderful support cast of The Trauma Code. The dynamics between everyone were so chaotic and hilarious, it was so entertaining to watch.
I hope there's at least one more season of this. I would love to see more of our little Trauma Centre and more patients and their stories. Eight episodes were not enough seeing how good this was.
