◇The following contains spoilers.
Nakata, who was assigned to perform surgery on Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Yukio Kaihara (Hajime Inoue), who had been found to have a brain aneurysm, appointed Koonha as his surgical assistant. Koonha, who had always aimed to perform surgery alongside Nakata, was overjoyed.
On the day of the surgery, Koonha noticed something strange about Nakata's movements. Nakata was blinking his eyes repeatedly and had stopped moving his right hand. Sensing that Nakata couldn't see, Koonha gently placed her own hand on Nakata's right hand and guided it to the surgical site, and the surgery was completed successfully.
The broadcast ended with Koonha asking Nakata, "You can't see, can you?" after the surgery.
On social media, comments included: "The surgery scene between Kotoha and Dr. Nakata was so moving," "Kotoha was so happy when she was chosen as Dr. Nakata's operating assistant, it was adorable," "I burst into tears when Dr. Kotoha gently reached out to Dr. Nakata when he froze during the surgery," and "Next week is the final episode! Dr. Kotoha, please save Dr. Nakata."
The drama is a medical entertainment series about Konoha Tagami, a delinquent girl who, after the accidental death of her best friend, studies intensely and becomes a neurosurgeon, bringing a breath of fresh air to the medical field. The script is written by Nonji Nemoto, who also wrote the script for the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi," which starred Hashimoto.
