The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call continues to dominate the OTT giant Netflix.
According to FlixPatrol, a global OTT ranking site, as of February 1, the Netflix original series The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call has secured the 3rd spot on the list of TOP TV Shows on Netflix.
Consistently holding top positions, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call has risen to the number one spot not only in Korea but also in 14 other countries including Bangladesh, Bolivia, Chile, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Venezuela, and Taiwan.
The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is a gripping story about Baek Kang Hyuk (played by the Kingdom star Ju Ji Hoon), a genius surgeon who has done surgeries even in the most chaotic situations of wars. He takes on the challenge of transforming an underfunded Trauma Team into a Trauma Centre at a university hospital.
The series was released on Netflix on January 24 and has been constantly ranking on the OTT’s TOP 10 lists in numerous countries.
Ju Ji Hoon plays the role of the genius doctor Baek Kang Hyuk. Choo Young Woo portrays his first disciple, fellow Yang Jae Won. Ha Young takes on the role of trauma center’s nurse Cheon Jang Mi. Yoon Kyung Ho plays Han Yu Rim, the head of the colorectal surgery department. And Jung Jae Kwang stars as Park Kyung Won, a resident in anesthesiology. Since the K-drama’s release, the actors have also been gaining increasing popularity.
Amid growing anticipation for a potential Season 2, writer Lee Nak Joon, who penned the webtoon that inspired the K-drama, shared insights during his appearance on YTN News FM’s Wise Radio Life. He stated, “Season 1 ended with the formation of a small yet functional team. As this team becomes fully operational, various challenges will arise. [For instance,] Baek Kang Hyuk will tackle opposition to the Doctor Helicopter program. There will also be cases where infection risks are discovered during trauma surgeries, and the team will have to respond accordingly. However, I am not the one writing Season 2. These elements are simply part of the original story.”
