### Summary
The running gag of Kim Jihyun's staunch denial of his surgical destiny reaches a new peak as he once again finds himself indispensable in the operating room. While many readers are amused by this recurring "meme," a growing sentiment of frustration is emerging over the repetitive plot device: a crisis conveniently arises that only Jihyun, despite his youth and supposed disinterest, can solve. This narrative choice, which often portrays seasoned professionals as shockingly inept, is stretching believability for some, who question how a top hospital could be so incompetent. As Jihyun continues to talk his way through medical emergencies, the universe—and his own undeniable talent—relentlessly pushes him toward the surgical path he desperately wants to avoid.
