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.
