As the medical crisis has been prolonged over the years, works such as 「Someday, the life of a major in Seoul」 are drifting away without being disclosed, and the 「Severe Trauma Center」 starts first. Will it be possible to reverse public opinion, which has become chilly due to medical strikes.
The production presentation of the new Netflix original series 'Severe Trauma Center' (played by Choi Tae-gang, directed by Lee Do-yoon) was held at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 21st. Director Lee Do-yoon, Joo Ji-hoon, Chu Young-woo, Ha-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Jung Jae-kwang attended the event.
'Centre for Severe Trauma' is a work based on the webtoon of the same name. It tells the exhilarating story of Baek Kang-hyuk (Joo Ji-hoon), a genius surgeon who worked on the battlefield, when he was appointed to resuscitate a famous severe trauma team. Director Lee Do-yoon, who directed the movie `Good Friends" and Choi Tae-gang, the writer of 'Adamas, joined forces
Joo Ji-hoon made this work by 'Pick' of director Lee Do-yoon, who was with 'Good Friends'. Joo Ji-hoon, who had been confirmed as the main character first, made a proposal to director Lee Do-yoon, and 'directing after casting' was confirmed. Director Lee said, `I wandered for 10 years after the first movie, and I had a lot of worries. At that time, I thought that taste is also a talent, and I was studying the process of expanding my taste. At that time, actor Joo Ji-hoon contacted me and asked me to do this work. I thought the result would be different, so I thought about it, but I thought it would be good to try it together with the character Baek Kang-hyuk and Joo Ji-hoon, so I took on the directing again."
Director Lee Do-yoon said of what Joo Ji-hoon and Baek Kang-hyuk have in common: `He is tall and handsome. The unlucky point is similar. I thought he was a person with the right direction. When you decide that this is the right path, you are a character who is moving on without hesitation. As a character, it will save people, and Joo Ji-hoon shows that as an actor. I could see that he was a man of great stride. I wondered if the feeling of going out in a big stride came from the wide walk that the audience, including myself, could feel while watching that character. That's how I see the commonalities between the two."

It's a medical drama, but it's a fantasy, they explain. Ju Ji-hoon "First of all, it's very fantasy-like. The things we wish for, in our imagination, to do these things justice' makes it easy to move on. It's good to be open-minded, he said. "It's a case-by-case in the work of visualizing works with webtoons and web novels, but even if the subject matter is medical and active, it's heavier because the patient's life is melted into the story than drawing webtoons." As a result of several meetings, I thought that the story should be attached to the ground at least to make it sound like a fantasy, so I thought it would fit well because I experienced the work I did and the way director Lee Do-yoon expressed his writing."
It also mentioned differences from other medical dramas. Director Lee Do-yoon uses the term `medical drama,' but the difference seems to be that it is not a medical drama. This story feels like a hero epic. The method of heroism was borrowed because it is a story about how a character named Baek Kang-hyuk does the natural things that save people. I think the difference is that it has a point where it can embrace various things such as action and thriller" he said.
In particular, while citizens' discomfort is increasing due to the medical vacuum that has passed the year until recently, viewers' sharp eyes on medical dramas are still continuing. tvN's announcement of the program, 'Life of a Major Who Will Someday Be a Sloth', has passed last year and is still unclear until this year. Since it is a 'severe trauma center' that is disclosed in this situation, there will be a lot of pressure on it. Director Lee Do-yoon said "It's a difficult question, but I think I can answer how much it has to do with reality. If this work only deals with the struggles of doctors who set foot on the ground, it would have been a struggle, but this work is an ambiguous work about the timing and this point. Now in 2025, severe trauma centers are active nationwide, and in our work, we don't exactly tap 'what year', but characteristics also proceed as a cartoon story while dealing with past stories. Personally, rather than substituting this story into the present reality, I hope you can see it as a fantasy hero movie"I asked.

In addition, when a character named Baek Kang-hyuk, played by Joo Ji-hoon, reminds me of Professor Lee Kuk-jong, Joo Ji-hoon said, `I have encountered a lot of documentaries and such regardless of my work. We are not a documentary about dramatic fun or the life of a doctor, but there are doctors who respect the life in it by bringing the subject matter, but there are firefighters and police officers. I hope these characters are interesting. When I saw (the original), I thought of Professor Lee Kuk-jong, but although the genre is different, I was moved by the documentary about the commitment to save people' was helpful in having a mind."
'Severe Trauma Center' will be released on Netflix on the 24th.
