Code Blue is an underrated Jdrama that deserves more attention. Why? This is one of the rare dramas that combine both medical aspects and reality together in a way that leaves you feeling as if you were a part of the medical team as well.
Story: This drama is all about medicine and the situations hospitals and staff face, and although this drama is not one that leaves you on the edge of your seat with the end of each episode, the story is paced well that makes you intrigued; wondering the possibilities that lie with every new episode and what new challenges are faced. The reality aspect I found in this drama was the fact that the challenges each individual and team faced are easily understood by the audience as we are easily able to sympathize with them.
Acting: The acting was beautifully done- although you could tell that just some actors/actresses may not be the best; their characters mature and grow more in-depth that will make you sympathize and feel as if you knew them personally.
Music: The music was skillfully picked- although the tracks were limited to a certain number of songs, it was appropriate and it sounded amazing. Downloaded several of the tracks myself.
Rewatch: I would definitely rewatch both seasons, as I truly enjoyed this drama, as it is one of the rare dramas that focuses only on the medical aspect, staying true to the end.
*Genres: Medical: 100% heavily focused on; medical dramas lovers approved.
Romance: Unless you squint very hard and tilt your head a bit, perhaps you may be able to see some romance developing, however instead of the lover romance; I found that family romance in the individual stories of the patients and actors were slightly more prominent.
Conclusion? Give this series a try- it would be worth it as it is only 11 episodes for each season- therefore it doesn't drag on at all and you won't feel as if you wasted your time!
