Una dosis diaria de sol

Oh, what a wonderful and relevant theme for a series! In times of constant instability in the world and in individual lives, this is exactly what is needed. Mental disorders, suicidal thoughts or actions, intrusive thoughts, and other manifestations of unhealthy behavior are present in more people than we realize. Ordinary people we meet and don't pay attention to may actually be struggling with their inner 'demons' alone and craving for help.

The drama subtly showcases various illnesses, portraying both the healthy and the afflicted, and also highlights how delicate the line between the two can be. Labeling, self-awareness, acceptance and non-acceptance: everything I saw touched me to the depths of my soul. There were moments when tears flowed uncontrollably for me. It was a unique experience, as it wasn't typical crying, but rather profound human feelings of empathy and understanding.

At the same time, the drama has a 'feel-good' mood. There is no dark, consuming vibe that leaves you restless after watching - quite the opposite! There are many moments that evoke good feelings and a smile. Romance is also an obligatory element. The main couple has a very pleasant chemistry, and watching them could be eternal! The supporting characters are also very well developed, it was interesting to observe the dynamics between them and how their stories unfolded.

I'll conclude by wholeheartedly recommending this drama. It's best not to have unrealistic expectations, and then you're more likely to enjoy it. In my case, the viewing experience could also be described as quite therapeutic, as it led to various personal reflections and experiences. It's definitely a 10/10, and I'm already looking forward to rewatching this series confidently at some point, knowing that this time spent will not be in vain, because it's filled with a higher meaning and purpose, which is very important and valuable in today's world.

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!

First "Tomorrow" and now this? The korean writers are showering us with shows about important topics. Daily dose of sunshine is all about something that is soooo damn stigmatized everywhere in the world, but yet so many people suffer with it... I'm talking about mental illness. So many people are suffering in silence, in fear of being judged, and shunned from society.

I don't have anything bad to say about this show... The story line is brilliant, the actors are amazing, the chemistry between the couples is good.

We really, really need more shows with the purpose of normalizing and accepting mental illness as real illnesses! Sadly there is still to this day sooo much misinformation and prejudices about mental illness. For me, who struggles with life myself, this show was very comforting. Now that I've watched all the episodes, I want more.. they can easily make a few more seasons of this show without destroying it.

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 !!

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 .
