It honestly would've been a better ending if it went the predictable way, which is Higuchi having end up performing Tenju's surgery and overcoming his fear and they build each other's trust and love from then on. I would be lying if I say I'm satisfied with the ending, buttt as long as they're happy I'm fine with it I guess

I honestly think that this ending was perfect. Higuchi changing his profession from heart surgeon to emergency medicine was a sign of growth to me. Him moving on from his past/mistakes and taking on a different route seems a lot more realistic than him suddenly having to perform a heart surgery on his lover and saving his life - considering he seems to still be dealing and coping with his past failure.
Hate me for what I'm about to say, but the people I hate the most are those like Executive Kang. Kang is the type of person who would choose to be in a relationship where he would benefit something from it (as we've all seen from the previous chapters of him talking about the talented and successful people he's dated). True, some people do actually believe that first relationships don't last, but his response towards Yiyoung after hearing about being his first lover is just absurd. Who knows, he might've thought that since Yiyoung is a courageous, determined, and honorable person, it means that he's learned from other people that he's possibly dated too. He was expecting Yiyoung to be at his level of what kind of successful person he is now. The people who I hate the most are those who think having dated many people in the past has to do with the ego they have now. Because of this, I got the ick from Kang ever since. I'm not into NTR, but I'd love to see Kang at least once realize just how their relationship should be valuable to him rather than pushing Yiyoung to not take their relationship seriously. (P.S: I am aware that this is what will give Kang and their relationship some development in this sequel so please don't attack me as I'm just stating my insights and opinion about his current personality lmfao)
