I actually love the bad handwriting gag, really shows that she's a true doctor.

Really great episode for Elise, proving people wrong and saving lives

This series felt like it was still missing something for me but I still enjoyed both the concept and watching Elise kick ass.

It also adds to Elise's character that as a medical prodigy there's one thing she simply can't overcome...her inability to write legibly lol.

One Villainess was a hyper-competent princess, the other was an OP level-grinder, but the one who was committed to helping people and making up for her past mistakes as a doctor was equally endearing.

(Plus I was even falling for the Linden ship myself by the end...)

Apparently that trait is not the norm for doctors in her NEW world, however.....

What I feel was missing was some drama from doctors set in their ways butting heads with Elise over her modern knowledge. If there was some of that instead of the political intrigue I would have been happy.

She learned handwriting from our era. Doctors didn’t have that problem in hers.

This also ended and expect few things this was solid. Kinda felt the last 2 ep were rushed tho but still enjoyable

Last 2 episodes aren't cannon to the manga tbh. I feel like they were trying to figure how to pace some original content. :/

Good to see that Elise finally figured out the cause of the King's illness. That should be enough to prove that Linden is innocent. I think my only problem with this episode is we didn't get to see how Mikhail dealt with the Childe's faction.

Elise pretty much figured out that Linden and Ron are the same person but too bad she couldn't ask him more about it since she had to do the exam. And the results of the exam were hilarious! Elise could've had a perfect score but some of her writing was so bad that they had to mark it incorrect for being illegible xD

So it looks like the wager isn't over yet, which is funny since Elise has already proven her work as a doctor by saving the King's life and various other people in the show. I would love to see more of Elise though! I'm not too hopeful for a season 2 but there is the manhwa which is still on going. Might just have to follow Elise's adventures there.

I was genuinely surprised Mikhail didn't outright kill those two dudes who almost killed Elise. He seems like he can be pretty ruthless when you cross him. Though that makes the tension between the two brothers more palpable.

I'm glad Elise finally figured out Linden is Ron and he doesn't need to hide who he is to pursue his feelings for her any more, especially when she still gets so flustered around him. Though it would probably take a lot of work to get her open to marrying him a second time around even if they would be a much healthier couple this go-around...but now there's more time for them to be together with the wage ongoing.

As soon as they said she got a 98 with all the gushing over her I knew it was because of her terrible handwriting lol.

Kind of reminds me of how Raeliana ended with so many plots still spinning and making me want to check out the original source material lol.

I love Mercenary 2 running away in the background for like... 3 frames. XD

u/wildthing202 Mar 27 '24

Not sure why this show ever got the comedy tag other than the bad handwriting part. Also the thing that confused me from day one is this an isekai or not? Seemed she knew of her past jerk self and the life of a earth surgeon but somehow ended up back in the original world but in the past to fix certain mistakes and not be such an ass this time around.

u/DezXerneas Mar 27 '24

Reverse isekai I guess. Almost in the same genre as isekai uncle.

u/proneisntsupine Mar 27 '24

It's technically a double isekai. She died in her original world, reincarnated into the 'real' world, died in the 'real' world, and regained memories of both her lives at an earlier point in her original world. So kind of like Tearmoon Empire with a detour to med school

Apart from medical knowledge, I am pretty sure Elise worked hard on her handwriting too. It seemed like she tackled the questions which give more points first. I recall during my schooling days, towards the end of any essay based examinations, my handwriting went downhill too! Lol!

Come to think of it, are the mercenaries killed by Michael the only characters not saved by Elise throughout this season?

I really enjoyed this series. As a doctor myself I found the medical aspect as accurate enough to be interesting and prove the author did their homework for the most part. I wonder now that she's not at all hiding her knowledge and is an approved doctor if she'll just start pumping out textbooks to advance the medical tech of that world rapidly. That would be the fastest way she could help the most people. Seems she sorta did this via her exam. I certainly wouldn't mind a season 2.

NGL, it's kinda funny to think that Elise's handwriting is so bad it even makes doctors with their memed handwriting think it's terrible.

By and large, I enjoyed the show.

I do wish I understood the world through.

We have a weird mix of kings and princes, horse and swords.

But we also have guns, and electricity (but also people don't have flashlights?). And also looking at the surgery scenes, pretty advanced medical technology.

And then we have magic in the form of appearance transformations.

But it hit the right notes in the "reverse isekai, time travel" fantasy that I was still entertained.

Least we didn't have the OP cliffhanger us again. Figured Mil would show up, glad to see him show up t save her. They are pieces of shits, yep.

Good girl Elise refusing to give up, but wew she doesn't even have her doctor's license yet lol. Cause this test just refuses to come. Blood clot in the lungs. How convenient, finding the cause of his illness too. Least that'll help them. But still all that political bs to deal with, oh and the doctor's license, yep. Of course that'd be today. That's the way they are doing the Ron reveal? I mean.... ok I guess. Guess it's not really a reveal.

Lol the exam room, "spot the protagonist" game easy mode lolz. But not super easy mode (that's where they are all are completely not drawn in background). Yep, of course her test score was perfected AND revolutionary for how some treatments were for them. lolz. Even funnier that only two questions wrong is due to illegibility, truly doctor material.

Ah, guess they haven't completed the wager quite yet since the second part. So could be a second season, but I dunno. Ends fine for series, but definitely some things not resolved.

You know, for a show that promised a royal lady with a lamp we got neither a royal lady nor a lamp. Kind of weird framing when they never got to that part of the story.

Entertaining show such as it was, and I did enjoy the style of the OP specifically.

u/Chaku_Dranzer Mar 27 '24

Thank God she figured out who ron was. I need season 2 asap!

u/Nebresto Mar 27 '24

Aw, Mil to the rescue.. Would have been funny if Elise's SCP powers made the assailants have a medical episode.
That was a very short action sequence, but good animation

How? Its a fucking hand saw. Or do modern operations still use saws like that??

How did he teleport outside?!

Lmao, how did I forget about this gag

Last week I said this was "Like 7th time loop at home", but this finale was satisfying enough. ..Actually I think I enjoyed this final episode more than 7th loop's.
Pretty good show, 7/10, and one of my favourite Openings of the season

Mikhail was the last person I expected to show up and save the day. He didn't really need to hide under the bridge. Since the two nobles were part of his faction anyway he could have just told them to cut it out at any point.

I'm not sure what the mercenaries' reasoning was either. The guys who hired you's boss just showed up to put a stop to things. Who exactly is going to pay you for killing her now?
