   It's light and cheerful, and it's not an article about training animals. It's mainly about teasing the animals. It mainly focuses on comparing one's feelings with others, saying "you're good, I'm good, I'm good, you're good". As a young person, you can do whatever you want to do and say what you need to say, and you don't have to do anything to your mother-in-law. The story line is well written and comfortable to watch. Moreover, United Beasts is not serious. Any grudges are avenged on the spot, and there is no mention of holding grudges. Another point is that the plot of the doctor is handled very well, and the seriousness of the profession is still required.
