      He takes it!

      The whole plot looks a bit erratic, and it feels like this should have been developed, but in a blink of an eye it moved to another place, oh, life is impermanent, don’t be stubborn

      "You think a lion asks for his dinner?" "He takes it! "When you encounter what you want, you should use your own strength to fight for it, instead of relying on others. When you encounter resistance, you should overcome it. Even if it is an unshakable authority, you must be brave

      You are so gentle, when is your proud moment?

      I love the evil Doctor P in your mouth, even with some reverence and longing,
      even if he is so lonely and lonely in the end.
      I don't like the kind, cowardly and innocent male protagonist,
      even in the end, he is so energetic.

      That's right, I am a power admirer.
      I hate gentleness and cowardice. I love Dr. P.

      At the end of the movie, it seemed to be complete and very happy.
      He defeated his former self, defeated the outrageous Doctor P, and won the...
