⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This drama is incredibly compelling. It's unquestionably one of the best I've seen this year. The way it delves into the intricate yet prevalent subject of mental health and makes it relatable to a broad audience is truly remarkable. The drama is exceptionally well-crafted, and the cast has delivered a stellar performance.

?

foi taaaooo reconfortante assistir, eu amo assistir coisas onde me identifico e consigo me sentir acolhida. minhas emoçoes variavam entre feliz e triste em questão de minutos, e pode ser algo pessoal meu, mas depois do episodio 7/8 eu desmorei ate o final 😭amei cada detalhe, cada historia e como abordavam até os mínimos detalhes, e surpreendentemente ☝🏻eu amei os casais, eles sao tao fofos ridiculos eu queria me convidar para fazer parte do relacionamento deles. pode ser (muito) bobo, mas assistir esse kdrama me fez tomar coragem para encarar meus problemas e lutar para seguir em frete, com certeza virou meu kdrama comfort e com certeza irei assistir mais vezes 🥺

My New Favorite Show of All Time

“I don’t want to be someone who offers you an umbrella, I want to stand there in the rain with you.”

I have absolutely no qualms with this kdrama. It was at the bottom of my priority since i normally don’t go for medical dramas and I wasn’t hearing much about it. But after watching the Netflix trailer on a whim it seemed right up my alley since I love shows like Extraordinary Attorney Woo and It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. And boy was I right.

I think everyone can take something from this. It makes you look into yourself and maybe even those around you. It encourages empathy and teaches about various mental illnesses and does not put them in a bad light. I love how every main character is dealing with some sort of illness and we get insight in their life and how they deal with it.

Both romances are so precious and adorable as well. Also love how she has a guy best friend who is supportive of her romantic relationship.

Real, emotional and a must watch!

Es un kdrama que visibiliza los trastornos mentales y lo complicados que pueden llegar a hacer. Me gusta mucho que intenta no caer en los estereotipos que de tienen de las enfermedades mentales y muestra lo reales que son, lo comunes y la importancia de las redes de apoyo para poder sobrellevarlos.

Me sorprendió mucho el triángulo amoroso que tiene y aún más el con quien se queda ellaaaa, esperaba algo diferente.

Me gusta el crecimiento que tuvieron los personajes, como durante todo el kdrama los vemos sufrir, salir adelante, aprender, cambiar y crecer.

Es un drama muy lindo, que toca temas muy importantes. Si bien la psiquiatría es muy importante, me habría gustado que se mencionara más sobre la terapia psicológica, ya que siento que el acercamiento que se tiene a esta es muy superficial. Sobretodo porque la terapia es parte fundamental para tratar los trastornos y evitar que se agraven.

Me gustó mucho y el capítulo sobre ansiedad social me hizo llorar mucho, fue muy personal.

Thought provoking and therapeutic

I was on the fence on whether to watch this show or not. I've seen enough hospital dramas and figured this show would be filled with similar cliches that we've all seen dozens of times. I gave it a go and I'm glad I did. It is a medical drama set in a psychiatric ward and the main storyline focuses on the nurses (and doctors to a lesser degree) who work in that ward. There are 12 episodes in total and I did not, actually could not, binge all of them at once. The main reason for not binging was some episodes made me stop and think about what I'd just seen. The show compelled me to review and rethink about mental health.

The show is filled with cliches. Some of the scenes, I can anticipate exactly what would happen and what would be said by which character. There are scenes where conversation between the characters is highly unnatural and is there simply to provide background information. There are some plot holes as well. Despite these factors, the show was entertaining and interesting enough to make me want more and more. Some random acts of kindness that pop out of nowhere, words that seem meaningless that leave a lasting impression.

I surprisingly found the show to be quite immersive, and I also found that immersive experience was almost therapeutic, as I laughed and cried together with the characters. I would highly recommend this show.

Personal Rating:
Story: 10
Acting & Cast: 9.8
Music: 9.2
Cinematography: 9.1

Overall: 98/100

Touching

Finished itlike 3 days ago.
Today: 28 nov 23

I enjoyed it. I really liked the 2nd romance couple. Our main couple were cute too.
The love triangle was unnecessary.

The drama overall was touching and
they were moments i cried.

I didnt really connect with darun's character, like she just seemed bland especially compered to other characters ( both side & other main's), they all had things unique to them. What i liked the most about her is that bo young played her 😉

Todos deberían ver esta maravilla

gran dorama, trata las enfermedades con tanta naturalidad, y ella está tan increible como siempre. RECOMENDADISIMO.

Cada capítulo trata más o menos una enfermedad mental, aunque se ven todas en todos se centra algo más en ellas, lo mejor es que son enfermedades con las que convivimos a menudo y por desgracia no están tan aceptadas a nivel sociedad como se debería.

En especial he de destacar el episodio de la depresión, y como refleja la dificultad de ser un profesional de la salud con estas enfermedades .

Probably the best drama I've watched

I started the drama because of the FL. Since ep1 however I remaied because of the plot. It's an amazing story, full of heartbreack, growth, hope and everything inbetween. Most importantly, however, it feels REAL. There is no over the top acting, no crazy impossible plot twists. It's like a slice of life peace. I took a long time finishing it, because I wanted to savour it. I hope to find more shows like this one. honestly, I hope that more shows like this are made - worldwide. Because we as a sociaty need it. To learn and heal. Loved it!

Drama that talks about Mental Illness

Mental illness is not a plaguing problem just in South Korea this concerns all of us no matter where we are from. Daily dose of sunshine poignantly explores the world of psychiatric care. Directed like a procedural, each episode spotlights a unique mental illness drawing inspiration from real life cases. Drama is educational, a conversation starter that is a genuine attempt at trying to remove the stigma of mental illness. Dialogues are carefully crafted with the intention to inform not lecture the audience. Narrative does not offer easy solutions because there is no permanent cure, if you want to live you manage your symptoms and adapt to the new you.

The patients are not just mere symptoms and the doctors and nurses are not just plain scrubs. Audience can easily empathize with each character as each condition is carefully presented with the appropriate backstory grounded in sincere performances. Patient’s struggles dissect with the nurse’s lives, who have their own personal battles. Nurse Jung Da Eun is our POV character played with endless kindness by Park Bo Young. She has all the qualities of a great nurse, her character growth is about finding the balance between kind-heartedness and being effective at her job, and in between she must take care of her own mental health.

Highlight of the series is when it is pointed out what society is afraid or ashamed to admit. If you fall prey to the breakdown of your mind, the most generous of us, even a psychiatric nurse capable of infinite empathy, and care to others inflicted with mental illness will struggle with perceiving the alignment as being a stain on one’s character.

Drama also addresses various concerns within the health care institution such as the hierarchical power structure, psychiatry being looked down upon, overworked staff and tension between nurses and doctors. We get a splash of delightful romance, and what is a kdrama if we did not have the rich man falling in love with the poor girl. However, the romance does not exist in a void it is there to support the main subject of mental health and self-love.

Verdict

The drama earnestly tries to balance the reality of living with mental illness and optimism of living a full life. It will bring tears to your eyes, but there are moments of levity, joy, hope that when society bands together with compassion and understanding we can uplift each other to reach our potentials. If there are faults it is negligent in comparison to what we gain. A drama with no fast forward moments.

It's perfect on it's own way.

I have mixed feelings, because this show AMAZING, but I don't think 12 episodes was enough. So many things happened with all these characters, but it felt like this is a sprint rather than a marathon. Honestly, I want to give this show a perfect score, because they portrayed a lot of mental problems really well, and basically every character was likeable in some ways. But as much as I love this show, I can't ignore the fact that, with more episodes or fewer characters, it could've been perfect. Sure, we can say that Da Eun's depression wasn't "cured" after 2 days, because she was in the hospital for months, probably, but it didn't felt like that. I could say the same about basically every other main or side character too. Everyone who had a problem, it was "solved" really fast. What was a bit weird is that I don't think there was any OST in the show, or I just don't remember. The acting was top-notch, just like the writing and directing. The visuals were crazy good, and the overall feeling of the show is perfect. So, even they tried to do too much, I wasn't disappointed. I was funny when it needed, and the whole message of the show is probably the main reason why people should watch this.

Honestly, I would love to see another season, with new patients. Not to mention, I want to see Min Deul Re again. She was such a great character. Her cute little romance with Hwang was funny, like watching two puppies meeting for the first time.🤣

But with Da Eun and Go Yoon, I didn't felt the chemistry, to be honest. It was a bit weird, and I'm glad the love triangle didn't really happen.

lindo e necessário

Que drama lindo e necessário!!

Abordou o tema de saúde mental de uma forma muito sensível e real. Me emocionei muito em todos os episódios e me tocou demais.

O elenco é incrível e atuação da Boyoung simplesmente impecável, como sempre.

Eu gostei demais da forma como retrataram as crises e o sentimento, foram muito bem ilustradas.

Se tornou um dos doramas favoritos e apesar do tema abordado ser um pouco pesado e dos episódios tristes, esse drama foi como um abraço caloroso e me senti consolada em muitos momentos.
