Daily Dose of Sunshine

People around me said that I care about others too much and they mean in a negative way, and i even read a post said that if you live with and care too much to a depressed person then you will be affect by them, about your mental and your physical health too. But just like Da-eun, she's a kind of person who caring, asking, do all the things thst she can do for you, a good person of course. She went through a lot but she didn't even regret it, me too, i will still choose to do the same thing even it affected me. Each episode, each disease, eaxh way to cry. I'm a person who cries easily, so that i cry like almost every episodes.

IT A GOOD SERIES GUYS 😭

I have such a tremendous range of emotions watching this series. Honestly, there was times that it caused me so much personal disquietude that I thought about stopping the self inflicted torture. However, at the same time I recognized the issues being raised in this series are very important and very much a part of so many lives. There was times I was happy, times I was so sad, and times I cried. Regarding the panic attacks, I could identify to a much less severe extent. When my Korean immigrant wife was dying with dementia I too experienced for the first time those emotions as I struggled with how I was going to care for my wife knowing that there is no happy ending and what I could only imagine lay ahead for both of us. Honestly, what was my way through that period was our relationship with Jesus. We also learned that God has it all under control in His way and time. Nonetheless, this series brought up feelings and a past that I really didn't want to remember. But life isn't all rose petals and happy endings. Truly it is how we get through it all. Kudos to all the wonderful actresses and actors and all who make it happen behind the scene. Since I'm a guy I wanted to especially note three actresses. First, and the compelling reason for writing this review is Park Bo-young once again stellar role, but most importantly I am absolutely captivated by her lovely "half-moon" beautiful eyes. Her cheery character carried me through the tough episodes. Secondly, I fell in love with. Lee E Dam...gawd now she is "my type" as is commonly noted in Kseries. And lastly a hats off to Lee Jung eun who role both as the head nurse and dealing with her sisters issues did an outstanding job.

I cried throughout the show. Each and every little story was put out beautifully, each cast member did an exceptional job in expressing their character. The drama showed different patients going through various mental illnesses, this can be quite a sensitive topic to talk about but i think the show did a good job in potraying reality and not packaging anything. Every episode had a little lesson in it !!. Yes, it was a very heavy show! But i'd still say it was very healing and is definitely a must watch for everyone !!!! I wish it never ended haha. My eyes are all swollen but my heart feels calm. I can see myself searching for this drama when i'm having a bad day !!

Once again, South Korea hits it out of the park, and does what they do better than any other film maker I can think of. This is a story of a Psychological nurse (Park Bo-Young), her nursing team mates, and doctors who serve the population of folks with Mental Health Issues, ranging from Depression to OCD, Panic Disorders, Delusions, Anxiety and the like. These illnesses are not glossed over but portrayed realistically. In Korea, there is a lot of pressure to perform and serious competition for "First Place", which can wind up being soul sapping and even downright dangerous to one's mental health. No one is immune. Park Bo-Young plays a gentle, nurturing, warm hearted, shining example of a caregiver in difficult circumstances. The loss of a special patient to suicide on her day off creates a crisis point for her, and she must navigate her way back from Depression very carefully with the help of those who care for her. I teared up from emotion several times during this show. There is a little bit of romance, but not enough to steal the plot away. She has two men interested in her. One is a friend from childhood, and one is a Colo-rectal surgeon from the same Hospital. Both of these have issues of their own. The subject of unwarranted fear of people with Mental Health issues is also explored. In many ways, this was an "educational" show, without being heavy handed or "preachy". Everyone who watches will learn more about the subject, as was intended. There are humorous and light moments as well, which keep the story line from becoming ponderous. Park Bo - Young delivered an outstanding and realistic performance. The realism extended to other parts of the story as well. To my eyes, at appeared that the cast did not wear any makeup, which would be a "First" for K- Drama! There is a lot to learn, appreciate, and love in this show, and I urge you to watch it!

Deep dive into one of korea's biggest weaknesses, as a society.

It is actually very scary and sad how much of a taboo it is even the mention of mental health status of anyone and the rates of suicide in their society it's amongst the highest in the world as a result.

And what an emotional rollercoaster this was.

From a very unique perspective you will discover on each episode a bit more about the condition of each character.

The script is well written, with deep, emotional heartbreaking yet very hopeful stories.

They are brilliantly executed and in order to get the viewer inside the world of the patient, they use a lot of extraordinary effects. This is as impactful as it is powerful and reminded me to Extraordinary Attorney Woo and her Whales...

The cast was awesome and had good chemistry overall.

The amazing veteran Lee Jung Eun as the Head Nurse Song had an amazing role and nailed it. She usually brights with these types of characters, where she is like a wounded lioness defending her family, and I just enjoy watching her acting like that, so fierce.

Park Bo Young as the female lead (Nurse Jung Da Eun) is really amazing here too, she has a wide range while acting and she is great changing from a lighthearted romance scene to a heavy dramatic one. She has the capacity of melting your heart with a smile or breaking your heart from the sadness of her crying of pain. Great acting.

Her chemistry with the two male leads was good and the comedy with them ( love triangle) added entertainment and a lot of balance to the heaviness of the series.

Great side stories as well, nothing about the show was dragging. And the OST was great as well. I recommend it 100% although I am not sure I would be able to rewatch it again just because of the dark theme of the show .
