Uma Dose Diária de Sol (2023)

Simplesmente um dos melhores dramas do ano! Já assisti alguns dramas coreanos abordando temas de saúde mental, mas nenhum de forma tão sensível e respeitosa como este. Além, de uma abordagem didática sobre os transtornos mentais nos diálogos das personagens, gostei do aspecto "ilustrativo" das vivências dos pacientes.

Outro aspecto que me deixou bastante satisfeita foi a forma como eles abordaram as relações de trabalho. Uma certa "rixa" entre os médicos e os outros profissionais, as experiências da enfermeira novata numa enfermaria psiquiátrica, e os desafios enfrentados foram todos muito verossímeis. O que me leva a crer que o criador do webtoon no qual o drama é baseado deve ter alguma experiência na área, pois conseguiu abordar muitos temas delicados de forma sensível e realista. Parabéns também a dupla de roteiristas que fez a adaptação do webtoon, ao diretor e ao elenco que fizeram um trabalho incrível.

Fico bastante feliz que a Coreia esteja abordando questões de saúde mental, pois como fica evidente no drama, pessoas com transtornos mentais na Coreia ainda sofrem muito preconceito social, muito mais que no Brasil. Então é importante que existam dramas como este que desmitifiquem um pouco os transtornos mentais e mostre que há tratamentos possíveis e que é necessário pedir ajuda.

Além dessa abordagem mais respeitosa sobre os transtornos mentais e sobre trabalhadores de saúde mental, o drama também tem romance. Mas, sinceramente, para mim foi totalmente irrelevante. Estava muito mais investida na vida cotidiana do hospital do que no romance dos casais. Mas para quem estiver se perguntando sobre romance. Sim, tem.

Drama maravilhoso e que merece ser apreciado! Qualquer elogio a mais é pouco, apenas assista.

Uma Dose Diária de Lágrimas

Com certeza uns dos melhores dramas que assisti esse ano e uns do dos melhores com o tema de saúde mental.
Eles tiveram muito cuidado em retratar as doenças de forma humanizada e realista, revelando aos poucos o que cada personagem está passando e como todos nós estamos na linha tênue entre o normal e o anormal como a Da Eun mesmo disse. Só tenho uma crítica em relação ao como nos dois romances principais os homens são pouco insistentes chegando a ser inconveniente....porém eu curti como foi desenvolvido as relações deles.
Quero elogiar também a Park Bo Young que é uma atriz excepcional e entregou todas as pequenas felicidades e angústias da personagem de forma magistral, é impossível não se emocionar com a atuação dela. E também todos os outros atores que foram incríveis. ♥

Prefiro ser alguém que fica na chuva com você

"Ao longo da vida, todos nós eventualmente passamos por algumas dificuldades. Talvez as coisas não aconteçam do jeito que você deseja."

Daily Dose of Sunshine ganhou um espaço especial em meu coração, poucos dramas focam na enfermagem e em saúde mental de uma forma tão delicada, conseguiram retratar a dura realidade das doenças mentais e como as pressões sociais exacerbam os problemas aos quais somos mais suscetíveis. Adoro como isso humaniza os pacientes e desestigmatiza a falsa crença de que as doenças mentais são inerentemente deterministas de uma falha pessoal inata e não o resultado natural de fatores externos e experiências negativas. Como a enfermeira chefe disse "Qualquer um pode ficar doente, e o tratamento pode demorar um pouco. Mas como dizem, é sempre mais escuro antes do amanhecer. Ninguém nasce paciente, e ninguém permanece paciente até o fim."
Amei os personagens, me apeguei a enfermeira Jung Da Eun, ela é radiante, ver ela passar por tudo despedaçou meu coração, a recuperação, a luz nascendo depois das noites escuras foi lindo. Toda a equipe de enfermengem muito queridas, a enfermeira chefe realmente manda em todo mundo haha diva. O casal secundário fofos demaaais! Amei melhor amigo da prota, desejei tudo do melhor pra ele! O dr. Dong Go Yoon, esse maluco me conquistou de um jeito que vocês não tem noção haha.
O fato de focarem mais na equipe de enfermagem que a medica, foi maravilhoso, gostaria que tivessem mais dramas assim focado também em outras áreas da saúde como fisioterapia (onde eu atuo).

Queria poder falar muito mais, porém só sei sentir com esse final

Não gostei que colocaram logo a despedida da deul re junto com o último episódio, fiquei mais triste ainda
Mas esse drama foi incrível, a bo young é uma ótima atriz e fez o personagem muito bem.
Me emocionei muito, sinto que aprendi muito também com o drama
A deul re encontrou um amor que libertou ela de várias formas e buscou a liberdade que ela precisava também.
E como no final a da Eun disse, estamos todos vivendo no limite, qualquer coisa pode empurrar a gente e acabarmos caindo, é preciso viver no equilíbrio.
E cada um mostrou sua força e a capacidade de driblar os problemas e continuar a caminhada apesar das doenças.
Não sei mais o que falar, deu vontade de ter uma segunda temporada né? Contar mais sobre... Gostei muito mesmo, ele é um drama pra sentir e enxergar.

Drama is so good

Oh my goodness, this drama is so good! ???
Daily dose of sunshine is my new favorite drama! Even though Daeun's first day is already stressful it was a heartwarming drama. I found myself getting quite attached to the characters from the psychiatric ward because they had their own personalities nurses, physicians, guardians, and patients.

I enjoyed how each episode's narration and the patient's perspective on mental illness were portrayed. It was also entertaining to watch the love line between Go Yoon-da-eun and Yoo Chan-da-eun Yeo Hwan-deul-le!

One of the best of the recent Netflix originals!!! ♥️

Mental illness is an unpredictable illness that can strike anyone, anywhere, at any. I'm thinking a lot about this line.

a good try with some major flaws

I quite liked this drama, and had it stayed on course like it started with the first 2 episodes, my rating would have been much higher.
I liked the focus on mental health issues, especially as it is such an important topic in South Korea for known reasons.
They did well in the start, and I enjoyed the visual creations of different disorders, to make it tangible for people who don't know much about it.

Sadly it also had several flaws in the later episodes. First I have to admit that I was more interested in the side lovestory than the that of the main characters - I really like Chang Ryul, he was brilliant in 'my name' and it such a versatile actor.

The main flaws for me were different ones though:
the drama wanted to show different mental health issues with example stories. One of the first stories was a 43-year-old woman who was so opressed by her highly intrusive and invasive mother that she totally lost it and was in the closed ward of the psychiatry now. Very realistic example so far. But the drama wanted to show solutions veeery simplified. We hear that the woman hates grapes, a food her mother constantly brings her and says she'd always loved gapes. This is the peg for the problematic situation, the woman screams at her mother that she always hated grapes and because of that overboarding behaviour of the mother she 'wasn't even able to order a cup of coffee somewhere herself at the age of 43'.

The drama solves this over 40-year old problem situation with deeply ingrained toxic behaviours with just telling the mother once, so she brings other fruits for her next visit, and soon later mother and daughter happily leave the hospital, like best friends.
Erm, nope, this is not how things are in reality. People don't change like that and longlastig toxic relationship patterns don't change from one day to the other, just because someone says 'bring different fruits.'
The show oversimplified complicated issues that need lots of work (and the willingness of all people involved - that is where most things fail before they even started) and time to get any change, and often even with lots of effort this change never comes. That's reality, the drama wanted to show good endings of most cases, but that's just far from reality obviously.

Same with the ML and his panic attacks. Those are severe too and he had them for many years. Again, it just takes one or two people talking to him with some few friendly words, and yippie, he says 'oh yes, right, I have to address this, I go to the doc, get this treated with meds and my life will be fine.' Again, naaah, if you have severe panic disorder for sucha a long time, you do not just listen to a few friendly words from a friend and then go and solve this. If you have severe anxiety, you are also afraid of things like medication, of doctors who will 'judge' you, of others hearing from your problem etc. It just doesn't work that easy in reality sadly.

Another unrealistic thing was that our main FL, who works as a psychiatric nurse, suddenly has severe depression herself.
Well, that can of course happen, as depression can hit pretty much everyone.
Her depression is major though, so major that she walks in front of a truck to die. She ends up in the closed ward herself and is deep down the depression spiral for a while.

She finally gets out of it and...the older main nurse then begs her to come back and work again in the psychriatic ward. That's of course nice but at least in my country and others I lived in, it would be impossible. If you have a history of attempted suicide and major mental health issues yourself, there would be no way then that you could work again in such position - for your own safety and those of your patients.

Back to the lovestory of the side characters. It was a nice story, wealthy man falls in love with a very poor nurse. The drama left out major issues in Korea, like, what would his wealthy parents say to this choice? We do not get any information about his family, only some few things he says which imply the 'golden spoon' (so does his super spacious and very expensive appartment)

So, after fighting to gain her trust for quite a while, she finally is willing to date him, awkwardly though, but still. He even supports her abandoning her supertoxic 'person who accidentally gave birth to her' (I don't want to call such people mothers) - which is a good idea. But then, things speed up in a totally different direction, obviously trying to make the young woman, now free of her money problems and the toxic mother, a happy, independent person. She quits her nurse job all of a sudden, and wants to become a dancer on a cruise ship and leave the nice guy, who, of course, is also super willing to let her go away for a full year? I didn't find that credible at all. It often happens that K-dramas want to show this kind of 'woman does what she wants'-thing- but rarely have I seen cases where this went believable and smooth instead of doggerel and unrealistic like here.

All in all, it was a good start, it's good K-dramas try to openly focus on mental health issues, but they just don't get it right in the details yet.

One of the best drama of 2023 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I just finished watching this drama and I would give it a 9.5/10. They showed a story which is unique compared to other Kdramas. They gave awareness of the situations that a person with mental health goes through. All the Characters were portrayed perfectly by the actors and the acting was just chefs kiss. This drama made cry so much the last few episodes. The Friendship in this drama is something else and I’m glad that the director didn’t make the love triangle complicated. Usually people say that male leads are the one that shows green flags but in this drama SML he was one a greenest flags no offence. And the cast was perfect? hands off to that, they made the perfect choice by casting PBY as the FL(as always the queen SLAYYED!!)
The only problem with this drama is that the romance was mainly focused on the second couple rather than the main, they could have showed us more of the main couple. And idk if it’s only me but I didn’t feel that much of a chemistry between either of the couples especially the main couples maybe it’s because of the less scenes between them (but the FL and SML showed more tbh?and I think I fell in love with Jang Do Yoon?). Either way this drama took spot on my TOP 5 drama of 2023. ??

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ‼️‼️

Decent portrayal of mental health with l terrible messaging

Ughh. This drama really bugged me. As someone with some background knowledge and care giving in mental health, I just need to share a few thoughts on this one. Especially because the drama presented things in an almost textbook way. Well it came off as super old textbooks written years ago when we have much more research to update our knowledge of these things today.

Drama gave a decent portrayal of people with various mental health conditions. I especially appreciate that it took their perspective and was sympathetic.

What I couldn’t stand was that in order to manipulate the audience and tell emotional stories, they went completely off track in explaining root causation for mental health issues. They would rather put blame on bad parenting or societal pressures because it suited the story, than address the scientifically proven genetic predispositions people have to many of these mental health diagnoses. I am not saying environmental factors don’t play a role in triggering, but it was pretty obvious they wanted to skirt around the biological and genetic causes. To me, it was too much of a missed opportunity and came across as Korea once again not wanting to fully acknowledge mental health. Almost like it is a personal weakness and flaw to have such genetic predispositions. So it feels more comfortable to explain it in another way. I’m sorry but bad parenting does not cause bipolar disorder. It is a physical, chemical brain condition.

Once again, Korea still has a ways to go in facing without shame mental health.

Daily dose of Sunshine for Jung Da Eun

“The Daily Dose of Sunshine series touches on important topics related to mental health and how we should deal with those who have depression. But the plot was completely unrealistic. I suspect that the high ratings may have been influenced by the fame of the actors rather than the content of the plot.

The main character, although she is a nurse, has no idea about the job and any communication with the patients worsens their condition. One patient even tragically committed suicide after talking to her. After that, every other episode was about her depression without any apologies to the grieving family or attendance at the funeral.

Her decision to return to the hospital was surprising and why she was so sure she was good at her job I never understood.

Despite having a supportive colleague and a caring mother, the female lead is depressed and seems somewhat selfish, especially considering that others in the story have faced deep loss and had tragic stories.

The plot seems unfair, as everyone except the female lead is portrayed as hopelessly unhappy, and she, despite having everything, falls into depression. At the end of the series, the team leader defending her right to work, despite being mentally weak and different from the mentally ill, seemed selfish. No patient deserves this life and the truth is that most patients will never be able to go back to their previous lifestyle or work, they will never have the same life as her. The whole story was very unfair .
In fact, you will give this series different thoughts when you put yourself not in the shoes of the female lead, but in the shoes of someone else.
Overall, the plot and character development left me unsatisfied, especially the way the main character's actions and consequences were shown.

But of course a lot of people are more interested in the romance and who the female lead will be end and maybe that was the point of the series and I just expected a lot more and was disappointed. But of course I can't say anything bad about the acting.

Best example of Worst Drama about Mental Health

I waited patiently and reserved my final judgements towards the show, till the end just hoping that they will do something or deliver a different message towards the end.

Sadly, what a great disappointment this show turns out to be.

If this is how they (Netflix, production companies, director and writers) intend to do a story or talks about mental health then this show would be a good example of worst demonstration of mental health.

There are a lot of elements I can live with but there are a few fundamentals I just can't.
a) Colour used - from the interior of a psychiatric ward to the colours of the nurses uniform.
*I think "It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)" demonstrated or educated some of us about the importance of colours in the topic of mental health. In most times, Red (red related colour) suggests ignites, power, energy, aggression, fire - probably the last colour you want to use in the psychiatric ward? (I read in Netflix IG, Director's got this inspiration after visiting OB/GYN clinic, I was speechless reading that).

b) Medicine = answer to mental health
I can't help but noticed from the start, all Doctors in the show kept mentioning medicine, just take your medicine and you'll be fine! Let's have a few words with your family and ta-da! you're all fine and well again! Or let us transfer you to another hospital! Are they serious? The last straw for me was ep8 when the female lead finally realises her depression. From there, doctors and people around her just kept asking her to take medicine, keep to a regular routine, write complimentary diary, and poof! you're be fine and okay again!

Don't get me wrong, the narrative in ep9 was great, perspective from a nurse turn to a patient, I was looking forward how they going to go from there, it was a really good angle (rejection from your family, forcefully admit you to a psychiatric ward, how no one really 'listening' to you when you're at your most vulnerable time, everyone tries to tell you 'what's best', because they are the 'healthy people'? )
but it seems like..nah, there's nothing to write about it from there so let's move on to..Love!

Utterly speechless. Till the end no one around her helped her to really overcome her depression or helped her get a closure from the incident. Hence I do agree, her depression will relapse for sure.

Then that's how they end the show - Just remember to take your medicine and fall in love! and that's your Happily ever after!

Honestly if they want to do another rom-com, just do it and have mental health as a side/support plot.
It's disgusting how they handle this and very disrespectful, very.

I am now rewatching It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)
to see if I'm really biased or I should take admit myself to a hospital and start taking pills too.

Good for your Mental Health

I think beyond Romance, my favourite topic for a KDrama has to be Mental Health. Some of my favourite dramas fall into this category, and i'm gonna spoil the review (but not the show) by saying Daily Dose of Sunshine shoots to the top of that list.

For a start you've got a great cast, led by Park Bo Young who never falls short. Lee Jung Eun is another favourite and is superb in this drama as well.

One of the writers, Lee Nam Gyu, was also one of the writers on "The Light in your eyes", another beautifully told mental health drama.

The basic plot of the story starts out looking like a "case of the day" type show but evolves rapidly.

My takeaways from this, were that the story was there to highlight that everyone, no exceptions, and without any warning, can start to feel under the weather. Whether it's the patients that come in - or the nurses and doctors themselves.

It pays particular attention to Depression and Panic attacks but there's a range of other ailments including self harm that are included as well.

On the warnings front, I would advise that there is actual suicide and attempted suicide as well as graphical depiction of self harm. Let that show you however that these are topics taken extremely seriously, and viewed from all perspectives.

The other aspect I liked was the "other side" of mental health, stigmas associated with those who have had treatment and are now classed as in recovery, but how they are so poorly treated by society - even by those who are themselves either getting treatment or are caring for those who are.

Each episode tugs the heart strings, beautifully acted and I loved how it was told. I've binged this over 2 days because honestly I just couldn't stop pressing "next".

I class this one as quite re-watchable too, there's probably more to see from a second viewing and while there are things that happen which obviously won't have the same impact the second time around, you'll see them from another perspective and perhaps see things building up earlier.

Highly recommended, there are lessons for us all here.
