Seeing as there's not a single review of this manhwa yet, why not make a short one?
<Small spoilers possible, though it won't ruin your experience. TL;DR at the bottom.>

So basically the MC is sent back to China more than 1,500 years ago, where medical practices were scarce. Actual recoveries after being diagnosed by a disease which were deadly in their time but not in ours were obviously rare. Being someone who has excellent medical knowledge, mainly of surgery, he performs miracles by showing them patients can be saved even if everyone's given up.
At that time, tetanus was a death warrant, but due to the extraction ... of penicillin produced by blue mold, the bacteria could be eradicated if one has received the treatment on time. Surgery inside the brain was unheard of (due to the risks), they didn't know the Incas did that successfully. Heavy bleeding was tried to be reduced with acupuncture, and that's basically it.

The MC doesn't have sophisticated material at first, but with his drawings they could be created. Checking the insides of the body for bleeding or complications using radiology is impossible, but for the sake of the plot going forward he has got a certain ability.
He's not just a doctor who is unable to defend himself. Aware of his surroundings, he doesn't hesitate to protect his life with the necessary means.

Due to his actions, he receives authority and acknowledgement from many, it very much resembled Dr. Stone in that aspect imo.

TL;DR:
Time travel manhwa with a honest, intelligent MC that knows a lot about surgery, to China of 1,500 years ago. It shows various interesting operations and a couple of concepts in the medical field. Ideal to binge together with other surgical manga/manhwa.

If you want more manhwa (or manga) with medical information or something surgery related (Medical Return, Jin, Super Doctor K...), then you can surely give this one a try. All of them contain doctors who spare no effort to save their patients.

I binged this entire manga after not expecting much. Basically about a reincarnated Doctor who wants to help as many people as possible.

I might be writing some small spoilers, but nothing in great detail.

Imagine being reincarnated in Ancient China but with the memory as a 21st century surgeon, with all the modern medicine knowledge intact.

The politics of local Chinese warlords intertwined with a Doctor who's main priority is saving lives. Goes through the social politics of also discounting the primitive medical practices at the time as well as how to deal with those jealous of his knowledge/social standing gain as a renown local "miracle surgeon" ... in comparison to anyone else at this time.

They go into depth about medical procedures as well. almost makes you want to study medicine just to understand more.
