Faced with life-and-death situations where every second counts, one team is ready to do whatever it takes to save lives. “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,” Netflix Korea’s first original medical series, is set to hit screens on January 24. The teaser dropped today, offering a sneak peek at its unique blend of action, drama, and humor.
Ju Ji-hoon (“Kingdom,” “Along with the Gods”) takes center stage as Dr. Baek Kang-hyuk, a genius surgeon seasoned by years in war zones. Armed with a wry sense of humor and a mission to revolutionize trauma care in Korea, Baek is determined to establish a top-tier trauma center dedicated to saving lives. The series unfolds with a whirlwind of controlled chaos as he injects his signature wit into every life-saving moment. Set against diverse backdrops — from battlefields to mountain accidents — it also delivers a sense of scale and excitement rarely seen in medical dramas.
Alongside Ju Ji-hoon, the series introduces unique characters whose chemistry and teamwork set them apart, including Choo Young-woo (“The Tale of Lady Ok”) as fellow Yang Jae-won and Ha-young (“Doona!”) as senior nurse Cheon Jang-mi.
Breaking away from traditional hospital dramas, the series is all about the rush of the rescue and the camaraderie of a team that knows how to get things done. Expect fast-paced, exhilarating scenes that are just the right amount of heartwarming — perfect for watching during the Lunar New Year holiday. While the series embraces the drama of fiction, its attention to medical detail ensures an authentic viewing experience.
Mark your calendars for January 24, and get ready to be swept away by “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,” only on Netflix.
