The Regressed Doctor Just Wanted to Live Quietly

Inside the operating room, Dr. Jin-Hyeok Lee is a figure of absolute precision—brilliant, unyielding, and untouchable. Yet beyond those sterile walls, he exists as little more than a phantom to his own family and loved ones. His relentless devotion to medicine costs him everything that truly matters, including the chance to be at his mother’s side during her final moments. By the time he fully grasps the depth of what he has sacrificed, it is already far too late. Or so it seems. In an inexplicable twist of fate, Jin-Hyeok awakens twenty-seven years in the past. Armed with decades of medical expertise and the heavy burden of future memories, he makes a solemn vow to forge a different path. He intends to live quietly, prioritizing the human connections he once neglected over professional glory. However, true peace proves elusive. Old rivals resurface, unfamiliar challenges arise, and countless lives still hang in the balance, demanding his extraordinary skill. Stepping back into his scrubs under the bright surgical lights, Jin-Hyeok prepares to wield his scalpel once more. But this time, his guiding principle has changed. Rather than chasing perfection at any cost, he embraces the oldest oath of his profession: first, do no harm.
