Real score: 8/10

Hmm... tbh, I like season 1 better than season 2...

The novel, as the title suggested, told the story about Seonhan, a surgeon who can see the future. With the help of his 'dreams, ' he was able to study the diseases that would affect his patients in advance, so when the time comes for them to be 'dying, ' he can quickly step in to save them.

The difference between this novel and some other medical novels I had read was that Seonhan's power wasn't the type that provided... more>> unlimited knowledge. It wasn't like, "Oh, this person is going to get sick. Here's how to cure them, " type of story. No. His skill only showed what would happen to the patients in parts and quick glimpses, like he was watching a mystery film. From there, it depended on Seonhan whether he understood the 'hints' he was given or not. Who the patient was, the cause of the illness (es), the name of the disease, and how to save the patient themselves. His skill only provided vague clues, not answers, so Seonhan still had to review some books and learn things. Some illnesses were serious and required the help of other surgeons. Some could be solved on his own. There were also cases where the patient's condition was actually simple to treat, but because the doctor/patient/their family member was stubborn, Seonhan had to think hard to figure out how to convince them to go through with the treatment.

Spoiler

For example, there was a girl who was going to be paralyzed from her back down to her legs because she practiced surfing a bit too much. The treatment for this 'illness' was hella. simple; just don't surf. But it wasn't possible for Seonhan to force a stranger to stop surfing just because he was a doctor. So, Seonhan disguised himself as a fortune teller to make the person believe that, if she insisted on surfing the next day, she would be paralysed forever. Honestly, he was so sneaky there He acted as a fortune teller by using his 'dream' skill to look into the patient's history, so when the girl asked, "What's my mother's name?" he could answer them smoothly, even giving details about her medical history ahahhaha.

[collapse]

This was actually what made me so hooked on reading season 1. It felt satisfying to see Seonhan come up with unique ways to save his patients. But when season 2 started, the story leaned more towards... politics? There was a famous doctor named Baek Yishin who returned to the medical world. On his first day of working, he said he wanted to create a special team that handles difficult surgeries. Even I, as a reader, knew that this thing would create division among the doctors in the hospital. It was like forming a clique. So, unlike season 1, where Seonhan focused on learning how to gather information to save patients or prevent them from ending up in the hospital, season 2 shifted to "I will prove that I can become a skilled doctor." Season 2 ended up feeling like a typical mainstream medical story that I had read before, and that's... kinda a bummer. The story was still exciting, and Seonhan remained a doctor who always tried his best to save the patients he encountered, but... the plot became a bit more predictable...

The author sometimes didn't explain the medical jargon in detail either. For example, in chapters 2-3, when a patient was diagnosed with VIB, the author didn't explain what VIB was... at all. It was actually the translator who provided more information! Not all readers of the novel would know medical jargon, so something like this should be explained in a short sentence, at least. We, readers, just needed to know what VIB was and why it was dangerous if the patient was affected by it, that's all.

But hey. At least they did a better job of explaining those in the later chapters. And at least when I read season 2 on Kakaopage, there were some 'illnesses' or medical instruments that the author provided illustrations for. I think there might be similar illustrations in season 1 as well. But since I read season 1 on a different site, they weren't included there. Tldr, some medical jargon was still not fully explained, but the illustrations were quite helpful. So, that's a plus.

Anyway, 8/10. It's still a nice novel to read. Even tho' I started to lose interest in reading season 2. I don't really like the political part and the overly antagonistic 'opponents', I just wanna see Seonhan save people. <<less

I really enjoyed the novel; it's one of those stories that sneaks up on you, and you don't even realize how invested you are until it's almost over. As it nears the end, you find yourself hoping it won't conclude just yet. It's an engaging read, with the main character being a bit of a genius and possessing a unique, somewhat overpowered ability—though not to the point where it feels unrealistic. My only complaint is that it ended too soon, just as the character was beginning their first year of... more>> residency. Thankfully, there are extra chapters that offer a glimpse into the future and provide some additional backstory for the secondary characters. I think this would make an incredible drama if it were ever adapted! <<less
