### Summary
In a moment of supreme irony, Kim Jihyun's desperate attempt to escape his surgical destiny backfires, forcing him to perform a life-saving operation on the very man who sabotaged his dermatology career. While this twist of fate solidifies his path as an unwilling surgical prodigy, reader commentary mourns the wasted potential of his relationship with the psychopathic Lee Sangmin. Fans lament that the two could have been a "perfect duo," but Sangmin's twisted nature—forged in familial abuse and marked by rumors of killing his own brother—makes him a blight rather than a partner. As Jihyun is thrust into the spotlight at the hospital controlled by Sangmin's family, the stage is set for a devastating confrontation, not the powerful alliance some readers dream of.
