Just gonna start off and say I absolutely love this series.

It's your typical girl who gets reincarnated to redo her life and change her fate. It's a bit more interesting in this case though as she gets reincarnated to the present day then reincarnated back into her original life. However, the fantasy setting in this is pretty unique as they've merged modern-day stuff into the medieval fantasy era. Like they have surgical equipment and trains but still, use swords and magic. Its a pretty refreshing setting if you're tired of the usual stuff.

As for the romance, it takes a bit to get going but ... once it starts it was just smooth sailing of adorable moments and shippable couple paradise.

Absolutely love Lise the MC. She's cute, beautiful, respectable, and just a generally really nice character. It's great seeing her do doctor stuff and get praised for it. Admittedly it's a bit mary sue-ish as she rarely ever fails but I still really enjoyed it as it's fun to see what happens.

Now, I just finished this manhwa at the time of writing this, and DAMN THE ENDING IS GOOD!!!!!! It's an extremely satisfying ending that plays on the themes of the series and provides a satisfying conclusion to the main conflict towards the end of the series.

Highly recommend this series for someone who likes romance manhwa and wants something a little different from the norm while also satisfying that same itch.

9/10, beautiful series.

The Series is about Elise, who gets reincarnated with her memories intact. Twice. Originally a bitchy type character who gets burned at a stake reincarnates into the future. Realizing that her actions in the past made her you know a total bitch she decides to pursue medicine this time. To save the lives that she couldn't save before. Now she has become a successful Doctor in this time. But when going on a plane it crashes or whatever and she has been transported back into her own life. So 2nd time she's been reincarnated. 3rd time she's reliving her life. Now determined to not be ... the bitch. She's gonna live her life properly this time.

The series has a big Vanderohe's saw problem. To those who have seen Army of Dead know what I'm talking about. It's the opposite of Chekhov's gun trope. They keep teasing stuff but never pay it off. Some examples include the Love Triangle between 2 people but 3 characters. The vague ass powers the male lead has. The bad guy promising to commit revenge. Her parents in the modern world. And various other shit. Why did the male lead Execute her? And all that other shit.

They also keep mentioning how bad and horrible of a women she was. But literally I can only recall one actual bad thing she did. Majority of it was elementary school bullying. like Putting a frog on someone's lap, Making shit tea. Ruining someone's clothes. These are bad things yeh. But like Execution worthy? Come on.... Again the only thing that is literally implied not even properly shown is that she is hurting someone's father right in front of his daughter. But like we don't see anything. Its very short. Cuz we had more depth to what she actually did that might add some depth to the character. Add a whole new dynamic. But that requires actual skill and talent to pull off, so instead the author is gonna go the easy route and just skip all the bad shit and skip the redemption arc and just make her into a sympathetic character that is capable of holding her own webtoon series.

Another Issue I have is that the Doctor Moments are very boring. The main theme is her becoming one of a kind Doctor. The best of the best. But she goes through no trials. Not even the classic, *she's just a women type*. I mean I'm glad thats the case It would be boring and Ultra predictable instead of the super predictable it is now. Regardless she doesn't go through that much pain and punishment. She's just done it all already. They are a total of 4 surgery that are actually exciting. 1 of them had big potential drama to it. But you know the author is a pussy there is a perfect solution for every scenario.

There is some action in this series as well. But I found the more anti-climatic moments to be more hilarious tbh. Like in one scene the male lead gives the female lead a gun and so he can duel a guy she shoots him lmao. That was funny. Sadly they aren't that many scenes in the manhwa. MMC's power's are also very vague and are literally there to be plot convivence. Oh you are stuck in an incredibly specific situation? Don't worry the powers that the male lead has that is never explained will fix it all.

The setting is also a bit confusing, but I'm willing to forgo that since the inclusion of magic and what not (or really advanced technology. Like I said powers are vague as fuck).

In the end the series is disappointing. I was told to not give up on Isekai/Villainess series If I read this series since it isn't the best. It is however still disappointing.

I will talk about some of the things I did like the main romance between the male lead and female lead. However there was 90 chapters of filler in there for no apparent reason. So... Whatever I guess.

In the end should you read the series. Well Its not bad. The art is nice I liked the dress designs, and I like how the abs of the male lead point to his penis. that's what it felt like Every time he had a shirtless scene.

Overall. Its ok. That's about it. 5/10

Art Style: ugly and inconsistent, specially when it comes to faces and ears, I laughted so many times because of it.
Story: really boring, gets political sometimes, which it's not my cup of tea. Also has too many technical stuff when it comes to medicine (I know the female lead it's a doctor, but I found it really boring)
Female Lead: she is a genius and I don't really like this time of characters because I prefer to see hard work and growth
Male Lead: Sooooo boring
Other Characters: I mostly forgot everyone
Romance: really boringing
Final thoughts: I know I repeated "boring" too many times, but it summarized my ... feelings while reading it. Overall do not recommend it, unless you want something completed and simple
