Just what the thoughtful doctor ordered
With honesty and kindness, this drama boldly works to destigmatize mental health. It doesn't just show you patients' scars and outbursts; it invites you to sit, listen, and get to know them. What brought them here. What they're scared of. What they hope for. These patients are just like you and me.
Healthy people can still have mental breaks. You can be functioning but be unwell. You can get better only to relapse. Treatments fail, and sometimes, in the end, there's nothing you can do. It's the nature of medicine and humans as the complex people we are.
I loved the FL's positive outlook on life and found the way they explained and portrayed mental illness quite illuminating. Not to mention treating the patients as people who can and should be able to set boundaries (something so many other dramas don't advocate for).
If you're in the right place and can walk through the dim morning for a little while, I think you'll find this bit of sunshine warm.
