(CR) Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp

I wonder if Elise actually considered cyanide poisoning.
her medical prowess in identifying illnesses kinda bothered me throughout the series, given that she is a surgeon rather than an internist, so it would be strange if the author suddenly remembered that.

At least in the way Cyanide has been portrayed in mystery it has effects rather similar to a heart attack too. Maybe the whine was just sour and developed lactic acid.

It wouldn't even be that strange for her to not think about it, as it should be hard, if not nigh impossible to acquire in that time period.

Cyanide wouldn't have been that hard to get for the possible time period this show takes place in. By the late 1800's it was pretty much everywhere.

Who else is there to save Elise than...Mikhail! Who totally puts the fear of God into those nobles, and ends up killing all the thugs they hired. Those noble idiots are lucky they were able to run away with their lives for daring to threaten Elise .

Elise really is a consumate doctor, not even an attempted murder on her life or her handsome savior about to embrace her is enough to distract her from a patient in need! Especially when it's her beloved future father-in-law !

I guess it was always going to come down to Elise having to perform surgery, especially if the emperor has a pulmonary embolism, and Linden gives her the go-ahead to save his father. And she finds out he has lymphoma! But in the end she manages to save the emperor's life .

Will Linden and Mikhail ever overcome their competition for the throne and their past to become true brothers? Though I feel like Elise will come between them as well .

Oh yeah, totally forgot Elise still has to take that test. She didn't even sleep and just exited surgery, yet she's taking it on anyway! That's our Elise .

The least Linden can do is escort her to the exam, and in the process express his gratitude to Elise...and in the process also express how he basically wants to be with her and let her realize he's Ron. About time !

I love how the exam is super hard, everyone else is stumped, but Elise pushes through with confidence and ends up revolutionizing the medical world and revealing herself to be a prodigy...only missing the two easiest questions because of her terrible handwriting. I guess some things never change .

Is the nightmare the Emperor is talking about what happened to Linden's mother and sister ?

Good to see the Emperor doing better, and Elise still believes their wager is still on, though that's more time for her to both prove herself as a doctor and also come around to marrying Linden again. But for now, she's content to acknowledge the mistakes of her past and continue to make up for them in the present .

Nice seeing Elise with her family, Juliane, and (unfortunately for Juliane) out on a public date with Linden !

I managed to make it to the end but started to lose interest pretty badly around halfway. Average series overall but I did end up reading some of the manhwa so I'll give it that. I still struggle to believe that Elise was an actual villainess in the first timeline though.

I read the manga before the show even was announced, so overall I like the story, but there are definitely better shows out there. 7/10.

Decent show. Not sure though why she didn't just keep her mouth shut to see what the king would say at the end; he may have been about to admit the wager was dumb and she's obviously destined to be a great doctor. Yea, noble and all for her to stick to the letter of the wager, but her heart's desire is to be a doctor so it seems silly to toss aside a short route to victory.

Not that she has anything to worry about; there doesn't seem to be a situation she can't handle. Maybe she realizes she's a MC lol

Another interpretation of the term resekai, this time with advanced medical knowledge. Situations were constantly set up for Elise to show off her skills, for boys to fawn over her prowess, and courtly shenanigans to present supposed roadblocks.

6/10

Vain hope for an S2, maybe? It didn't happen in the manhwa. IIRC, the whole thing since the king's "poisoning" didn't happen. Aside from the exam, of course.
