Love is elixir and poison

After reading the title, do you want to sing a song? Maybe love is an antidote, and it is also the poison I am taking~ Come and sing it in slow motion with my left hand and right hand. No, I changed Teacher Zhou's lyrics, sorry~

The story is actually quite simple. The male protagonist is a handsome, big-eyed medical representative who was brainwashed by Pfizer. When he was selling medicine, he met a beautiful female protagonist with the same big eyes, whose brain was eroded by Parkinson's. My own illness has always been very low self-esteem and refused to establish a stable love relationship with the male protagonist. In the end, of course, the male protagonist insisted that the female protagonist was very moved by the happy ending that the two were happily together.

What is not simple is the feeling, it is the process of deepening the feeling from awareness to self-doubt and then to certainty.

After reading it, I feel that love is a very complicated thing, both selfish and selfless.

I'm so selfish that you're sick and I have to cure you, no matter if you're exhausted from going to various hospitals to do various tests, because I'm afraid that I can't love you who are sick all the time.

Selfless to not talk about reciprocity and fairness, even if you need me more than I need you, even if I know that you have Parkinson's and I will pee and wipe your shit for you, as long as I love you, I will be willing.

It cannot be said that the male protagonist has sublimated from the former selfish love to the latter selfless love. After all, everyone is not a saint, and they were not born to purify all living beings. In the final analysis, it is love that overcomes reason.

Love is a panacea. Through the other party in love, you can re-understand your self-worth, from doubting why the other party loves you to believing that you are so worthy of being loved. Love is also a poison. It can completely lose a part of oneself through the other party in love. It seems that after knowing him/her, he/she does not know himself.

As for the male protagonist who became a gold medal salesman by selling Viagra, but he is allergic to Viagra, I have to say that the director is quite humorous~

  • Maggie Murdock: I'm gonna need you more than you need me.

    Jamie Randall: That's okay.

    Maggie Murdock: [crying] No it's not! It isn't *fair*! I have places to go!

    Jamie Randall: You'll go there. I just may have to carry you.

  • Jamie Randall: Hey, Lisa.

    Bruce Winston: Her name's not Lisa.

    Jamie Randall: I know. I know. But, if everytime I say "Hey, Lisa", then eventually she'll come up to me and she'll be like, you know, "My name's not Lisa it's... Jennifer"... whatever, and I'll do a big apology and I'll say, "I thought you were the Lisa who was mad at me for not calling". And, from then on Jennifer, or whatever her name is, will think that I dated a girl who looked just like her... who I rejected. She'll develop this unconscious need to win my approval and from then on, it's cake.

    Bruce Winston: Damn!
