    Name: Level Up Doctor Choi Kiseok

    NU Link: Not available at this moment
    Why it should get picked up:
    Well, there is a very short translation of the beginning and I feel it sums up the story pretty well. Judge for yourself. I feel like it's very good and there are a lot of good reviews on it (4.5 average stars out of 105 people)

    Description: (lol I was translating it... but then my korean sucks and I want to read this series here is what I have. I'll put it under spoilers bc it's kinda long. If you depend on me to translate it.... you will probably get 1 chapter every month or longer.... sigh )

    Prologue

    Creak

    A male doctor dressed in white opened the door to the hospital room. The doctor peered down at the silent patient next to the window.

    Patient Number: 745898
    Male/ Jang HyeJin / 29 years old

    The patient’s identity tag gave off a pitiful air as it waved from the wind blowing through the window.

    “Stupid bastard.”

    Kim TaeShik bit his lips.

    Jung Hyejin was recently admitted as a new resident doctors of the thoracic surgeon wing.

    Kim Taeshik was his senior until just a week ago.

    That junior is now dependent on a respirator and his life hangs by a single thread.

    Jung Hyejin left the hospital for just a bit and suffered a car accident.

    Hyejin said he will buy some snacks and return, Taeshik’s heart hurt remembering the moment.

    “I’ll let you go now.”

    “….”

    “But don’t feel so bitter. This isn’t the end. Who knows, this might be a new start of something.”

    Kim Taeshik put his hand onto Jung Hyejin’s heart.

    Lub-dub lub-dub

    Hyejin’s heart beat fiercely, as if it’s screaming of its existence.

    “My last farewell. Thank you.”

    Kim Taeshik left the hospital room without a moment of hesitation.

    A moment later, nurses moved Jung Hyejin to the surgery room.

    On a chilling winter night, Jung Hyejiin life extinguished in the hospital room.

    His death record was written as so:

    Car accident.
    Brain death. Organ donation.

    Chapter 1 Return

    Jung Hyejin was walking in a dark tunnel.
    His goal was the end of the tunnel which was shining with a bright white light.
    But, he wasn’t sure why he had to travel to the end of the tunnel. He was simply moving like his body commanded him to.

    “haa…”

    Jung Hyejin stopped his steps for the first time.
    He didn’t stop because he was tired. Actually, his body wasn’t tired at all.

    He felt it was useless to walk anymore.

    “Hey. It’s more comfortable to quit now.”
    “You’re always foolish with whatever you do.”

    He fell to his knees at sat on the floor hearing the words of his friends and seniors.

    It’s time to rest now.

    Nobody gives you a medal for living with all your strength.

    The light pouring in from the end of the tunnel was getting wider and wider.

    Jung Hyejin’s body was gradually falling into the darkness.

    “Teacher. Thank you.”
    Suddenly, a faint woman’s smile could be seen.
    She was his first official patient upon becoming a resident doctor.
    He cracked a smile remembering her dream of becoming a celebrity.

    But things did not stop there.

    All the patients he treated flashed across his mind.

    Warm emotions filled his body allowing to gain strength to get up and continue forth again.

    Jung Hyejin continued to walk again.

    He wondered if he could see their smile once more if he walked through to the end of this tunnel.

    Following what seemed like eternity.

    Jung hyejin reached the end of the tunnel with his indomitable will.

    “ah….”

    Upon reaching the end of the tunnel the blinding light wrapped his body.

    * * *

    “uuugh.”

    Jung Hyejin groaned while opening his eyes.
    His eyes widened as he observed his surroundings.

    Currently, Jung Hyejin was hooked onto an IV and laying on a bed.

    Before he blacked out, he suffered a car accident so of course he would be lying in bed.

    It’s just he was inside an isolation chamber.

    An isolation chamber.

    This was a room for cancer or leukemia patients.

    Jung Hyejin was inside a single bed isolation room complete with a TV and various other objects.

    Something seemed off and so he got off of his bed.

    “……”

    Jung Hyejin’s face grew rigid upon confirming the patient name plate.

    Patient number: 859741
    Male / Choi Kiseok / 26 years old

    He checked his reflection on the mirror in confusion. It reflected a young male with milk white skin. Jung Hyejin’s mouth gaped in shock.

    “What? Is this?”

    Hyejin check his reflection with a shocked expression.

    Upon awakening from his car accident he found himself to be a completely different person………

    What kind of shocking situation is this?

    He pinched his cheeks wondering if this was a dream.

    He sat on the edge of his bed locked in thought.

    Zzziiing.

    Choi Kiseok’s memory wooshed past like a kaleidoscope as the pulmonary resonance machine pumped.

    Choi Kiseok’s wealthy family and all its dark secrets.

    He was a genius who excelled in his studies. He was accepted to Eugin University, the top university of medicine of the country.

    Due to dyspnea and chest pains he went to the hospital for check ups and received shocking news.

    It was cardiomyopathy.

    Even with continuous treatment, his heart gradually grew weaker. During the licensure examination period his health reached the worst point. Just recently, he was selected to be the beneficiary of a heart transplant.

    “But why…..”

    Jung Hyejin stared to the ceiling with a hallow expression.

    Upon an organ transplant, Choi Kiseok should be the one with a second chance at life. Why was he here?

    No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t understand.

    “Could this be my second chance….?”

    Jung Hyejin mumbled in a daze.

    This body’s owner, Choi Kiseok, was a freshman of the university of medicine.

    In other words, Jung Hyejin became Choi Kiseok, and can now live out a second life.

    Of course he felt apologetic to the original owner of this body but this was an uncontrollable situation for Jung Hyejin.

    Jung Hyejin looked at his two hands motionlessly.

    He was a cardio thoracic resident doctor for 3 years.

    He did his best to be the best doctor but his skills weren’t top grade.

    He was considered dull-witted amongst all the doctors.

    All his peers snickered when he claimed he wanted to register to continue residency with the cardio thoracic center

    He will become the laughing stock of the cardiothoracic center.

    Make way for the doctor who takes lives.

    Lots did not hesitate to look down on Jung Hyejin.

    In order to sweep off everyone’s fears he lived his life in the hospital as if a demon was possessing him.

    And so, luck and bad luck struck him at the same time.

    He finally fell upon some luck after surpassing lots of his peers. But bad luck struck him and he suffered a car accident.

    “Let’s start over.”

    Jung Hyejin’s eyes burned with spirit.

    A second chance to live on as a doctor.

    This time, he will become the best doctor of the cardiothoracic center.

    He can repay Choi Kiseok for this life by becoming the best doctor to the best of his abilities.

    But at that moment.

    Clack clack.

    He looked toward the sound of footsteps and made eye contact with the nurse making her rounds.

    The nurse’s body jerked in shock.

    “You’re awake?”

    Nurse Miae spoke at the door of the hospital room.

    “Yes.”

    “Please wait a moment.”

    In a moment, after dressing in a set of gowns Miae entered the isolation chamber.

    Miae checked Hyejin’s vital signs and smiled brightly.

    “Everything is within normal range. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”

    “Not at all.”

    Hyejin shook his head side to side.

    He was scared out of his mind and his body felt sluggish but that was because he was in bed like a dead person for a long time. He could not feel any complications of his heart transplant.

    After a long silence, Hyejin opened his mouth.

    “Excuse me…. Ms Nurse.”

    “Is there anything you need?”

    “Ah… no. I don’t.”

    Hyejin rubbed his eyes.

    “Please be at ease and speak. There is no need to hide anything from me.”

    “I really have nothing to say.”

    “If you feel anything strange or uncomfortable with your body please tell me.”

    Miae exited the isolation chamber.

    “Did I go crazy after entering someone else’s body?”

    Hyejin stared at the spot Miae stood for a long time. He wondered if he was hallucinating because he could see some strange things.

    He drank the water on his table and stood in front of the mirror.

    He could see similar things as before next to the mirror.

    +1, from the little clip, it seems really interesting, might be something similar to Coder Lee Yongho, which wasn't too bad.
