The original author of Netflix Hot Topic's "Trauma Code" has attracted attention by revealing the behind-the-scenes setting of the characters Joo Ji Hoon and Choo Young Woo.
Recently, the Netflix original "Trauma Code" has been very popular. "Trauma Code", which was released on the 24th of last month, is about Baek, a genius surgeon who has been through the battlefield.
The thrilling story follows Kang Hyuk (Joo Ji Hoon) as he is assigned to revive a nominal severe trauma team, and is based on the web novel and webtoon of the same name.
According to the "Netflix Tudum TOP10" website on the 5th, "Trauma Code" ranked first in the global non-English TV program category within 10 days of its release.
The drama continues to enjoy popularity at a syndrome level, with many viewers saying that the awkward chemistry between Baek Kang-hyuk (Joo Ji Hoon) and Yang Jae-won (Choo Young Woo) is catching the attention of viewers.
The original author, ENT specialist Lee Nak-jun, revealed the behind-the-scenes details of the characters on his YouTube channel "Doctor Friends."
First, regarding the setting of Baek Kang-hyuk, who is said to have accumulated wealth through his activities in the Blackwings,
"The doctors who work for private military contractors and U.S. military medical officers are the best trauma surgeons in the world," he said. "At the time of writing in 2019, their annual salaries were $2 million (approximately 310 million yen)."
He explained that he worked like that for four years. However, in the TV series, it was expressed as one year, and he said, "Joo Ji Hoon looked young. Baek Kang Hyuk in the original work was 40 years old, and he was about 100 years old.
"I earn over 100 million won (1 billion yen) and am good at stock investments, so I don't need to take a salary at all. The only money I get from my own fund is a few hundred million won," he added.
Regarding the character Yang Jae Won, who wears expensive suits but has never traveled abroad, he said, "When Yang Jae Won was a resident, his parents won the lottery and bought him a suit.
The land he built was developed and became a big hit. He also has a building in Gangnam. However, he became rich during his residency, so he has never spent the money."
Regarding the scene in the drama where his mother buys him a suit, he explained, "It's not because he's a mama's boy. Jaewon has never spent such a large amount of money."
As the behind-the-scenes details of the characters that were not even included in the original work were revealed, fans commented, "Baek Kang-hyuk and Yang Jae-won look fresh again," and "I can't wait for the next season to start."
He expressed his curiosity by saying, "I want to see season 2," and "This is the first time I've seen a medical TV series like this."
