Even surpassed "Squid Game": K-drama with an 8.5 rating entered the Netflix top within five days

Even surpassed "Squid Game": 8.5-rated dorama entered the Netflix top within five days

The dorama consists of a total of eight episodes and has an 8.5 rating on IMDb (exactly the same on "Kinopoisk"). After its release, it managed to enter the Netflix top in dozens of countries at once within just a few days.

The premiere of the series also caused a real sensation. In just 5 days, it even surpassed the second season of "Squid Game" and rose to the second spot in Netflix's global rankings.

The main character is an experienced surgeon who decides to fundamentally change the work of a trauma center. Instead of a peaceful hospital life, heavy patients, lack of funding, and resistance from colleagues await him.

The plot is based on a popular novel written by an otolaryngologist. Therefore, medicine here is not just a simple decoration for a love line, but the core of the story.

Viewers also shared their impressions: "The dorama is watched in one breath, the finale hints at a second season," "I didn't expect such a thing from the Koreans, a fully-fledged Hollywood project," "I didn't even notice how the eight episodes flew by," "The dorama is very wonderful and dynamic, the balance between humor and drama is maintained."

There is almost no typical romance in the series. Doctors run back and forth endlessly, patients are brought in one after another, and decisions have to be made within seconds.
