Lee Nak Jun first wrote this story in the form of a web novel titled SEVERE TRAUMA CENTER in 2019. At that time, he could only dream that his work could be adapted into a broader format.

The journey to production was not easy. "When I first heard about Netflix, I thought it was just a dream," said Lee in an interview on the YouTube channel Doctor Friends. The adaptation rights were sold, but production only began years later, specifically in 2023.

This drama tells the story of Baek Kang Hyuk, a genius doctor tasked with reviving the trauma unit at a major hospital. Ju Ji Hoon plays Baek Kang Hyuk, while Choo Young Woo plays Yang Jae Won, a young doctor fascinated by the methods of the surgeon.

One of the most memorable scenes in this drama is Baek Kang Hyuk descending from a helicopter while carrying Yang Jae Won. However, did you know that this scene was questioned by the production team?

The director was initially doubtful. "Is there any doctor in Korea who can descend from a helicopter like that? There isn't," said Lee Nak Jun. However, because this is a medical drama with fantasy elements, they ultimately decided to include the scene.

Lee also explained that the character Baek Kang Hyuk was indeed created as a doctor with superhuman abilities. "He can diagnose diseases even before the test results come out," he added.

6. Is 'THE TRAUMA CODE: HEROES ON CALL' Based on a True Story?
