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.
