Netflix’s highly anticipated new series The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, featuring Ju Ji-hoon in the role of a doctor, is already creating buzz. After much anticipation, the drama is set to premiere tomorrow, January 24. With a noticeable lack of medical dramas in recent years, viewers are excited for this new release, especially since it drops right before the Lunar New Year holiday.
Based on a popular webtoon, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call tells the story of a brilliant surgeon who takes charge of a trauma team on the brink of collapse. Ju Ji-hoon stars as Baek Kang-hyuk, a bulldozer-like character with a commanding presence and unwavering confidence. Joining him is rising star Choo Young-woo, fresh off his success in The Tale of Lady Ok, with their on-screen chemistry already raising expectations.
While the series delves into medical jargon and the high-stakes world of emergency care, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call sets itself apart by incorporating fantasy elements, drawing comparisons to superhero narratives. The plot seamlessly blends medical intricacies with a vague time frame, creating a viewing experience that feels both immersive and thrilling. The protagonist’s relentless drive to save patients may even evoke memories of real-life trauma surgeon Lee Guk-jong.
With its solid source material and Ju Ji-hoon’s proven acting prowess, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is already predicted to make waves upon its release. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how it performs when it premieres on January 24.
