"It's my story ... ": Director Lee, Park Bo Young Deliver Positive Message Through Netflix K-Drama

Park Bo Young-led Daily Dose of Sunshine dropped new stills.

Daily Dose of Sunshine delves into the diverse stories of the people Da Eun (a nurse transferred from the internal medicine department) encounters in the psychiatric ward, shedding light on their world and emotional struggles.

Da Eun (Park Bo Young) starts her journey in the psychiatric ward of the Myungsin University Hospital with excitement and nervousness. But, her colleagues are curious about the reason for her transfer from a department where she worked for the past three years. 

Stepping into a new environment, Da Eun greets her patients with her signature warm smile and strives to be a nurse who understands them. However, her lack of experience brings obstacles, indicating that she has a long way to go before fully adapting to her new workplace.

Supporting Da Eun is Dr. Go Yoon (Yeon Woo Jin), a proctologist who often commutes with her in the morning, and her longtime friend Song Yu Chan (Jang Dong Yoon). 

When things get tough, she also relies on the nursing staff, including Head Nurse Hyo Jin (Lee Jung Eun), who is like a mother figure in the psychiatric ward. 

Director Lee Jae Gyoo aimed to shatter the misconceptions that psychiatric wards are dark and scary. To do that, he infused the series with warmth and filled it with vibrant colors, giving it a fairytale-like ambiance. The actors also shared their personal experiences and incorporated them into the project to deliver the message that mental health problems can affect anyone at any time. Director Lee Jae Gyoo said, "It's my story and my family's story too, and I believe you will get a heart-warming experience at some point". 

Daily Dose of Sunshine premiers on November 3, exclusively on Netflix.
