Cure Blood

Complete | Togaya arata | 2019 released

This was so short, yet extremely compelling. It captured the pain and the loneliness that comes with longevity and at the same time the leads’ love for each other. The execution and art were beautiful. I think what made this manga stand out to me was the progression of time. You see the people around the MC grow older (i.e. hia family, coworkers, even the ML) while the MC stays looking young. The setting pf how he turned into a vampire wasn’t fully developed, but I think this story didn’t need that. It was more about the tragedy of longevity. Loved this!

Itoshi no My Doctor!

Complete | Glycerin takeru | 2019 released

It was really cute! Short and sweet. I didn’t expect the doctor to have that side to him in bed lmao. Wish it were a bit long, so there was more time to develop their relationship.

Medical Return Webtoon

Ongoing | Kidari studio,Yuin,Yeon jae joong | 2019 released

The best doctor manhwa I’ve ever read. Seriously. The author blended the medical moments/action and information splendidly with the additional layer of drama antagonist Sangmin’s father (and maybe even Sangmin himself) added to the story. The romance here I don’t can even be called a romance because it was just part of the MC’s life story I think. The only thing this manhwa lacked was proper closure for Sangmin. Despite his sins, I wasn’t a fan of how the MC basically just ignores Sangmin and didn’t even approach him after he is jailed because it was clear that Sangmin has his own story to tell but doesn’t get the chance to. Because of that, the ending was a little lackluster for me. Still, I liked most of the characters. The supporting cast of the MC made the heavy drama more lighthearted and comedic. The writing was just so complex for the characters. I liked how they even though the MC is blessed by angels and all, he has his own share of failures and faults. I also think Sangmin’s dichotomies were portrayed well. On one hand he’s an amazing doctor and heir to a hospital but always comes second to Jihyun. He wears a smiling facade but suffers from a mental illness and suppresses his true emotions. With exception to the ending, the writing was freaking masterful. I loved this so much!!

The Miraculous Physical Therapist

Ongoing | | 2022 released

32 It's a different type of doctor manhwa I haven't seen before. I like that the MC is a physical therapist and that the story focuses on the rehabilitation of the patients. Very heartwarming to see them get to do the things they want to do, but I wouldn't say this is very doctor-y terminology heavy with tons of information. It's a nice balance between the two. Still, it's pretty cliché. Even the romance subplot is basic. All in all, it's just a generic medical manhwa.
