Okay, this drama... it’s like one of those rare ones that gently wrap around you and leave your heart full. Not in an over-the-top or melodramatic way, but in the quiet, healing kind of way that lingers.

Park Bo-young as Jung Da-eun? She owns that role. Like, she’s always been amazing, but here she’s just... different. Softer, more raw. You can feel her warmth, her fears, her quiet breakdowns, and the way she still chooses kindness. She made me smile like an idiot one minute and tear up the next.. It never felt like she was acting – it felt like watching someone real go through the chaos and beauty of life in the psych ward.

And the patients? Not just side characters. Everyone had their own story, and honestly... I ended up caring about each of them. Some episodes hit hard – like I had to pause, sit with it, and remind myself that it’s fiction... but also not really, because people like this exist. Their struggles, their tiny wins, their quiet courage – it just made me think a lot.

Also, the staff dynamics?? I loved them. The friendships, the little fights, the way they’re all just holding each other up while dealing with their own stuff. It felt real. You actually get to see what it’s like being a nurse – the pressure, the exhaustion, but also the meaning they find in their work. I don’t know, it gave me this new kind of respect for healthcare workers.

Visually too, this drama is so soothing. Warm tones, soft lighting – It adds this calming, slice-of-life vibe to the whole thing.

If I had to nitpick, there is one thing I wasn’t too happy with... a certain plot point that kind of caught me off guard and left me feeling a bit off. Won’t spoil anything, but yeah – that part just didn’t sit right with me. Other than that though, I genuinely enjoyed everything else.

This drama changed the way I think – about mental health, about the people silently struggling, and even about how I respond to things in my own life. It’s not preachy at all, but it somehow opens up your heart a bit more.

If you’re looking for something comforting but meaningful, Daily Dose of Sunshine is so worth it. It’s soft, emotional, and full of heart. Like the title says – it really is a little dose of sunshine
