Fans of The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call have something to look forward to!

The original writer of the hit medical drama recently shared that the drama was made with Season 2 and 3 in mind while also praising the incredible chemistry between Ju Ji Hoon and Choo Young Woo.

Writer Lee Nak Jun appeared on the YouTube channel Dr. Friends and revealed that he never imagined his story would become such a huge success.

“When I first said in 2019 that I wanted my novel to become a webtoon and drama, nothing happened. But then the rights were sold, and after a long wait, we finally started filming in 2023”, he shared.

Lee also hinted at more seasons, saying, “If the drama does well, Season 2 will follow. Since Season 1 didn’t cover everything, a lot of people who are curious about the next part will probably check out my webtoon or web novel. The drama was made with Seasons 2 and 3 in mind.”

Released on January 24, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call follows Baek Kang Hyuk (played by Ju Ji Hoon), a genius surgeon with ‘God’s Hand’ abilities, as he joins a struggling trauma team to revive it. Choo Young Woo plays Yang Jae Won, an elite fellow who becomes mesmerized by Baek Kang Hyuk’s extraordinary skills.

Lee Nak Jun shared a fun behind-the-scenes story about an intense helicopter scene. “The director was really worried. In reality, there’s no doctor in Korea who can rappel from a helicopter, let alone carry someone on their shoulders while doing it. But this is a medical fantasy, so we made it work,” he laughed.

The writer also admitted that even the medical consultant thought Baek Kang Hyuk’s abilities were too overpowered.

“He knows everything before tests are even done. He’s basically superhuman. He’s also 188cm tall, and coincidentally, Ju Ji Hoon is also 188cm. It was meant to be”, he said proudly.

With the drama’s growing success, it looks like fans won’t have to wait too long for Season 2 and 3!

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
