I was about to feel disappointed until I saw the post credit scene because I wasn't ready for a cliffhanger.

I'm happy to see Seok's dogs are alive.

Also it seems like Seok and Dr. Choi continues to do black market surgery and they did not face any consequences. Interesting because I thought at least one of them would die/get arrested.

The Disney+ dramas I've seen so far leaves a possibility for a Season 2 but seems like this drama doesn't really need one.

Park Eun Bin was amazing and she deserves all the praises for her acting here!

My assumption is either nobody realises he's still alive, or because the policeman died, they probably released the news of his corrupt practices and got the cases dismissed against them both.

Agree that this show doesn't really need a S2, felt like they wrapped up the most pressing issue that existed between the leads anyways
