Actor Choo Young Woo has delivered a compelling acting transformation, taking on the role of an elite doctor and showcasing a dynamic range of emotions and depth in his performance.

Choo Young Woo stars in the Netflix series 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' where he plays Yang Jae Won, a highly skilled fellow who graduated at the top of his class from Korea University College of Medicine. As the first protégé of Baek Kang Hyuk (played by Joo Ji Hoon), Yang Jae Won is a driven and dedicated character who adds layers of complexity to the story.


In the series, Yang Jae Won works tirelessly, day and night, to save patients teetering on the edge of life and death. In one standout moment, he even overcomes his fear of heights to board a helicopter, playing a crucial role in saving a patient’s life. This dedication to his craft and his patients highlights his growth as an actor.

The mentor-mentee relationship between Baek Kang Hyuk and Yang Jae Won is a highlight of the series, adding both emotional depth and a touch of bromance to the narrative. Their shared struggles and triumphs resonate with viewers, making their journey all the more engaging. Through this role, Choo Young Woo himself has demonstrated significant growth as an actor, further solidifying his versatility.

Critics have praised Choo Young Woo’s performance, noting how it contrasts sharply with his previous role in 'The Tale of Lady Ok.' In 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' he fully embodies a character with flaws and vulnerabilities, delivering a nuanced and relatable portrayal of Yang Jae Won.
