Thank You

Dr. Min Ki Seo went to Blue Island to fulfill his deceased girlfriend's last wish to find the single mother and her little girl who was infected by HIV and to apologize to them on her behalf as she had unknowingly given the girl tainted blood when she was being treated at the hospital. Lee Young Shin, the single mom, was having a hard time caring for her grandfather who has Alzeimer's and keeping her daughter's HIV condition a secret while teaching her how to live with it. Min Ki Seo was an arrogant person who looked down on people and in meeting Lee Young Shin who accepted her fate and tried to make the best of it despite all odds, he slowly changed for the better and became a warm and caring person.

I absoluely love this drama, it is my favorite. It even bumped Goong off my list of top favorite dramas. The relationships between the main girl, her daughter and the grandfather are adorable. The main girl is a very strong woman trying to take care of her daughter and her dementia stricken father. His love for chocopies are so cute! It is heartbreaking to see bom, her daugher being treated like crap by the villagers because of her AIDS. Even though she is very pretty, throughout the whole drama, she is seen wearing conservative clothes, to fit in with her poorness. She used to be a rich girl but not anymore. It's one of those riches to rags stories. While the guy that she liked, had a rags to riches story. Her life is sad in that she was pregnant with the guy she loved but she later found out that he only slept with her as a bet. Even though he actually liked her, she doesn't know that. And now he is engaged with a fiance. Of course he doesn't know he's got a child.

The main guy, the surgeon, makes it onto my list of favorite guys in dramas. He is charismatic in the way he saves the villagers from their random sicknessess and problems with his surgeon skills. He lives with the main girl and their relationship is subtley progressing throughout the drama. I love how the focus isn't entirely on their relationship but mostly on the village and their progressing openness to AIDS. It is cute how he starts to fall for her. He was originally there because his dead girlfriend left her bear with Bom. And he was so depressed he wanted to take the bear back. I'm still not sure why he stayed or anything. I think it was to deal with the consequences of his girlfriend being the doctor that gave Bom AIDS.

Bom's real dad, the other guy's mom, quickly wants the main girl to go and get married so that the other guy won't find out Bom is his daughter and that he won't leave his fiance for the main girl. It's funny because Bom and her real grandmother look exactly alike. They even have a mole on the same place. Probably drawn in, but still.

This drama is a 5/5. It is so good and also very sad. It has its comedic moments, along with moments of pure sadness.
