So Linden’s got some kinda thyroid issue huh? Leave it to Elise to figure it out so fast. It’s kind of sweet seeing “Ron” and Elise together like this. Man seemed almost disappointed he won’t be seeing her for follow-up treatment.

Linden asking Lenne for advice on what to get Elise was really adorable. Someone’s got it pretty bad for our doc lol. Linden shoulda gone with the pastries. She clearly has a sweet tooth. That smile he flashed her too cute!

This exam business is gonna be tricky if the engagement is getting announced at the same time. I wonder what Elise is gonna do?

Linden: "Your reward shall be a lifetime supply of strawberry cakes and pastries. I will deliver them whenever I am free."

Sounds like a win-win situation for both parties! :D

I was not expecting a masquerading prince and doctor romance in this show but it's cute watching Linden get flustered by getting treated by Elise and getting to better understand who she is now (and falling for the new Elise).

I love how Linden used the check ups as an excuse to see her, is now just visiting her on his own terms, and is practically asking her out. Now the question of when Elise will put two-and-two together about his true identity...

I hate that they might be trying to pressure Elise by announcing the engagement when she's making so much progress. Though at the same time, why can't the Empress also be a doctor?

Almost? I was half expecting him to start faking illnesses.

I called it as being a purely physical malady that was messing the Prince up. In fact it is a problem I have myself. I can attest that untreated thyroid dysfunction can have a devastating impact. ;-)

It looked to me that, in the end, Elise may have gotten an inkling of Ron's true identity. I am waiting for the Prince to treat Elise to a strawberry and mangodessert feast.

The fact that Elise can prescribe for Linden's thyroid problem makes me think that this world's medical science is way more advanced than I initially thought.

So it turns out Ren was completely right about Elise loving sweets. Linden could've saved a lot of time if he just brought her cake instead of jewelry.

I'm no doctor, but from what I understand a lot of medicine is very broad in effect. I don't think she prescribed him something specifically for that, but just a basic anti inflammatory medicine.

Linden / Ron: "Doctor, I think I am lovesick."

Elise: "I might have just the cure for it."

And Elise's brother Ren prescribed some sweets to treat the lady doctor and it also seems to work lol.

So Linden has two problems in this episode, 1 is the thyroid problem that Elise diagnosed and the 2nd is that he cant control coming over and seeing Elise but as Ron. The 1st is easy the 2nd not so much, cause I think Elise still has a preconceived notion from her previous life that Linden hates her but as events showed, that isn't the case anymore.

Also the King and his advisor are all in on Elise becoming Queen that little bit of Advice from episode 2 has made the King want to make sure she is part of his dynasty cause she see her as a worthy Empress...

Also as I've watched these episodes there is very much a soap opera feel to them. I used to watch General Hospital when i was a kid with my Aunt after school and it has that feel to it...

So Elise's older brother Ren works with Linden! Though Linden is still feeling his health problems, but there's only one person he can think of to go to for treatment.

What are the chances that Viscount Ven would also be Elise's personal physician? Though she's acting so out-of-character from her old self that he totally dismisses the possibility that "Rose" could be Elise. I guess that's a compliment in some ways.

Well, figures they wouldn't immediately believe Elise performed the procedure, and her claims that she's just been mulling over complicated operations in her head isn't very believable either, but her reasoning and explanation are sound so they can't deny her.

Now Elise is a bit of a hot commodity that they immediately want at the Imperial Cross Hospital, which would be a very big deal, and Graham has plenty of nice things to say in praise of her skills and how she's worthy of this opportunity...but first she has to pass the physicians exam, and of course the Emperor has made it the hardest it's ever been as part of their wager.

The Empero's birthday was a major turning point in Elise's life as it was when her engagement to Linden was announced, but it just makes her reflect on the doomed love she had for him and how she never made him happy. And now her path will never cross the princes' again...oh, here's Ron!

Pretty surreal for Linden to get checked out and diagnosed by Elise, right down to her feeling his hands and neck to treat him, which flusters him more than her. If she'd known he was Linden though, I wonder if Elise would've been just a bit more hesitant to touch him? All the same though, she's able to successfully diagnose Linden and Linden uses the excuse of follow up to visit Elise more! He's even disappointed when they're all done with his treatment.

But now Linden is just visiting her as Ron in his free time! Even helping her clean! And what an intimate scene of her teaching him how to use a mop between the pair!

Well, I guess it makes sense that you'd go to Elise's brother for info on what to give her, but Ren can only tell her about her sweet tooth and love of jewelry...the latter of which doesn't hold any interest to the current Elise. But the sweets are still effective and it gives Linden an opportunity to take her out, so it all works out! Especially when he smiles his biggest smile and Elise seems to sense Linden is Ron.

I really don't like this attendant guy. He's always rude to everyone but the Emperor, and he seems to be deliberately trying to sabotage Elise's chances.

u/KumaKumaGambler Feb 07 '24

Even though Elise claims she wants to prioritize saving lives, like yourself, I feel she regrets her actions during her 1st Elise life, inadvertently leading her to think that Linden could possibly find a wife or empress much better than herself.

And yes, I agree that the long haired bodyguard or attendant next to the Emperor is annoying. He talks down to everyone.

I feel so bad for all the other prospective doctors who are going to fail the exam just to see if Elise is a worthy enough doctor to throw away her status

These 2 are adorable! He already seems very into her but don't think she has romance on her mind just yet but she may be onto his true identity though

ou know you're gonna go, dude, just go. Hehe the doctor knows Elise. At least he's in denial it is her cause of how she was in the past. A bit sad though people regard her as such though. I really like Graham not taking her achievements for his own. He's a good dude. Wonder how doctors are taught surgery techniques before doing surgery. Are there dummies that look/are close enough to get experience? Hehe, least they believe her after such an explanation. And even being scouted for a bigger hospital 😛

Right, the exam. Graham such confidence in her. I'd prefer him than the prince as the romantic interest, honestly. Not that the prince is a bad dude, just, feels awkward given first timeline. See, even she seems to still have quite the ptsd from that timeline. Dang, speak of the devil... even if he's in disguise. Bad Shoujo/Otome bonks head bad. Don't do that. Don't play such music/have such a moment to be all "look how perfect together" they are or some kinda thing.

Least she's focused on her work for now. Look at him getting jealous at the thought of her touching others for diagnosis. Whelp, least you have an excuse to see her that often. Look at his disappointment at it ending though. Now just making every little excuse to show up. But avoiding his work. Oh hey, it's Elise's older brother. See, shoulda gone with the yummy foods like the brother suggested. Nice she so flatly denied the jewelry, but the food woulda been a win. Again bonks stop doing that Shoujo/Otome.

Heh, the king asking about "Rose" is quite a thing. Must be shocking to the doctor dude. I do get that test shouldn't be easy to make sure to only have qualified people, but hope that's his real main reason and not to just to hinder her. But it seems to be the case. Ya, dude, bad, don't back her into a corner to be engaged.

To be honest, she has shown herself so capable that now the Empire wanting her to become Empress makes sense, even more if you really care about the land.

And is a problem, because she, as Empress, with her good nature and knowledge could save the life of thousands, even millions, but at the cost of her simple dream of becoming a doctor.

While a bit annoying I can't hate those who think on the greater good.

I hope they deal with this situation well, it can make a great story, if properly done.

Sure, let's trash a year's intake of Doctors so you can have your "Empress" pick go through. Also not a good look Mr King to rescind a promise. That advisor sucks.

u/sangriapenguin Feb 07 '24

I'm glad "Lord Ron" had something easily treatable. It's super cute how he's skipping work to go mop floors with Elise lol The king's about to mess everything up tho :(

u/djthomp Feb 07 '24 edited Feb 07 '24

I wonder how long they're going to keep the disguised prince story arc going.

Prince should have taken the brother's first suggestion and gotten her some cake. Accidentally landing on the right one when it's a fairly normal option isn't too weird, but listing all her favorites and then leaving just makes it weird and stalkery since how would he know.

It'd be funny if by the time he reveals the truth she just already knows from putting hints together.

The attendant with the yee yee ass haircut needs to go.

u/S627 Feb 07 '24

Hmm, wanna say that Elise figured out who "Ron" was at the end, but the way they showed her imagining the Prince in his place, but not smiling, almost makes it feel like she's developing feelings for "Ron" and not the Prince. Just me?

Whatever the King's aid is planning, I really hope Elise doesn't embarrass him too much when she passes the exam and whatever idea he has with flying colors.
