Premiering on January 24, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call has taken South Korea by storm, generating 2.5 times more buzz than Squid Game Season 2, thanks to its gripping adaptation of a well-structured webtoon.
Starring Ju Ji Hoon as Dr. Baek Kang Hyuk, a battlefield-trained genius surgeon, the drama follows his journey to revive a struggling trauma team at a Korean hospital. Alongside elite doctor Yang Jae Won (Choo Young Woo) and senior nurse Cheon Jang Mi (Ha Young), Baek fights to save lives during the critical "prime time."
Directed by Lee Do Yoon (Confession), the drama has seen explosive popularity, recording 11.9 million views from January 27 to February 2 and topping Netflix's global non-English TV chart just 10 days after its release.
It has also dominated rankings in 17 countries, including South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and Malaysia, while breaking into the top 10 in 63 countries, such as France, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, India, and Japan.
According to Good Data Corporation, its popularity surged by 140% in just a week, making it the most talked-about K-drama of the moment. With such a strong start, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is proving to be 2024’s biggest medical drama sensation.
