Synopsis
When a gifted surgeon dies in a plane crash, she wakes up back in her previous life, as the villainess who ruined everyone around her. Dr. Aoi Takamoto was once Elise de Clorance, a selfish noblewoman whose obsessive love for Prince Linden led to her family's destruction and her own execution. After being reborn in modern Japan, she became a top surgeon to atone for those sins. Now she's been thrown back into Elise's body, before everything went wrong, with all her medical knowledge intact. The catch? This is a medieval fantasy world where nobody takes a noblewoman seriously as a doctor. The emperor gives her six months to prove she's committed to medicine over royal life, and Elise has to navigate court politics, her complicated history with Prince Linden, and the challenge of practicing modern surgery with none of the modern tools. The romance builds slowly against all this, and the redemption arc has real weight because Elise genuinely despises who she used to be. This 12-episode TV series from 2024 has a warm, romantic tone that balances medical drama with fantasy world-building. If you liked the historical romance vibes of Meiji Tokyo Renka or the redemption-through-healing energy of Neo Angelique Abyss, this hits a similar sweet spot. It's not reinventing the isekai wheel, but the medical angle keeps it fresh and Elise is easy to root for, someone getting a second chance and actually earning it.

fairy★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 12Okay, so we get a happy ending and all, but sooo much was never explored. This show really just focused on Elise and her career as a doctor. But all of the flashbacks, romantic tension, etc seemed to signal there was something more to everything, yet it went nowhere. Like when they kept showing flashbacks of Elise and her family dying in the past... they could've revealed that someone was disguised as Prince Linden or something since they have that magical tool to hide identities. I loved the setting, and the story was wholesome, but I think it had a lot more potential and the main storyline just fell flat for me.
fairy★★★★★VerifiedEP 11We get a lot of intense moments in this episode! There was actually a part at the end that made my jaw drop lol. This show does a great job with action, but it's always a rare occurrence! I can't wait to see what happens next after the cliffhanger.
fairy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10We finally got more time with Ron!! And OMG that hair flip 🤤 The incorporation of magic in this episode is really cool to see, and I wish they would touch on that more. Also, it felt like there wasn't enough romance between Elise and Ron, which was disappointing because it's already episode 10.
fairy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9This episode was cute, but just so focused on developing the bond between Elise and Juliane that it made things feel very slow. Nothing really seemed of importance to the main plot.
