Daily Dose of Sunshine drops full trailer ahead of premiere
by missvictrix
Netflix’s latest series Daily Dose of Sunshine is coming in less than two weeks, and we have a full trailer, new poster, and stills, to get us ready. The series is an adaptation of Kim Ra-ha’s webtoon by the same name, and features the story of our heroine Park Bo-young (Doom at Your Service) as she starts working as a psych ward nurse.
While a story of psych ward patients and those trying to care for them is heavy with a capital H, the trailer (much like the first teaser) gives us reason to think that there is a story of hope, promise, and genuine caring in the midst of this difficult story.
In the drama, we’ll travel along with Jung Da-eun (Park Bo-young) as she’s transferred from internal medicine to the psychiatric ward of her hospital. As we see from the cuts in the trailer, caring for patients in this setting is entirely different than the care Da-eun is used to giving, and she struggles to adjust in learning to relate to her patients in a whole new way.
While the material can seem too poignant and heavy to watch as entertainment, the drama does seems to be taking a magical realism approach to its storytelling which I just love. As such, we see patients’ emotional states acted out on screen in front of us, like when we see dragons on the rooftop the same way a patient does. But there’s a heavier side at play, too, as Da-eun and her coworkers — Lee Jung-eun (Missing: The Other Side 2), Yeon Woo-jin (Thirty-Nine), and more — struggle in their roles.
We also see her friend Jang Dong-yoon (Oasis) giving her emotional support. She needs it, and so will any of us watching, so I hope that group hug shown in the trailer is one of many to come.
Adapted by the writers of Behind Your Touch and directed by Lee Jae-gyu (All of Us Are Dead), Daily Dose of Sunshine drops its 12 episodes on November 3 on Netflix.

I am looking forward to watching this. The more I see, the more I like the way they have chosen to adapt the webtoon. I only managed to read some of it but as it was different vignettes of the patients and their families, I felt I had the gist of the story and would watch the rest with fresh eyes.

K-dramas might stumble a lot when it comes to the topic of mental health, but when it’s the focus of a drama I think their heart is usually in the right place, even with the many missteps they might make.
Overall, I think even attempting to address the topic is much better than ignoring the existence of mental illness, so I always applaud these dramas for at least trying. Anything that breaks the taboo is a good thing, in my book.
I certainly do not expect perfection, but I can definitely see this team making it both funny and heartwarming, so here’s hoping I’m right! The magical realism element of it all really interests me, too. I’m looking forward to it, especially since I have just completed my own inpatient psychiatric rotation at school!

Well well ... isn't this something. I am surprised, intrigued and very very excited.
This "magical realism" approach is really fresh and the tone seems just right.
Kudos to the team for choosing such a difficult subject. If Behind Your Touch is any indication then I believe the creatives will be able to handle this with sensitivity and warmth.
Hwaiting!!

Trying to decide if I want to watch this. I work in mental health so usually I try to avoid that subject in my entertainment.

Tough call. This seems to be getting the fairy take treatment but I understand your reluctance to watch.

The same writer?
I think they wrote Behind your Touch in a drunken stupor and then wrote Daily dose of sunshine right when they sobered up.

Hospital dramas are not for me but I just wanted to say everyone's hair looks so floofy in that last poster. Do they all go the salon together after a long shift and get their perms retouched?

I'm always in for a medical drama since I am a retired RN. I like to see how they approach different aspects of it and present them. Yes, eye rolling happens sometimes but it is interesting nonetheless.
