No one of us is immune against mental diseases

Just finished it and trying to give it a proper rating now:
_Story&Plot: 2/3
it's a calm slice of life drama, with many stories about different mental diseases and the obstacles the patients and their families encounter and the daily challenges that face the medical team (specially nurses since the FL is one of them) in the mental section, it starts weak but it grows on you, you get connected to the FL's life and start picking your favorite characters. It has romance, light love triangle and second couple but romance still not the main focus. I cried several times and felt so depressed at times. The title gives the wrong idea about the drama, I thought I'll be smiling and feel the "sunshine" with each episode but it got much dark than I expected.
A random change of course for one of the characters at the end felt so out of place and so "Netflix's touch" to send their usual message: "no to racism" (so we bring a bunch of people from different races with a random black person and let them dance), then you go overseas to chase a dream.
_Acting&Cast&chemistry: 1.5/2
PBY is perfect for her role, she is the "daily dose of sunshine", she delivered the change of her character correctly
We didn't really have a ML as important as the FL, instead we had 2MLs who are a support characters to the FL, UWJ's character suffered from the short screentime, I guess they were afraid to increase the romance focus, JDY was a great friend but that's it. Nothing special about the chemistry but it wasn't bad
All the support characters were great, 2 actresses I felt like they could profit from them more than they did, Lee Jung Eun as the Head Nurse, they kept mentioning at the beginning how much she is a scarry person but we only saw a kind mother to the rest of nurses, wished if we saw both sides more to give her more presence in the first half of the show, I felt like she was a guest role.
FL's mother played by Hwang Young Hee, seeing her in WYWS as suzy's mother can tell how much she can give to her role. We barely saw her in most of the drama.
_Directing&Camerawork 2/2:
The illustration for each disease was beautiful and odd at the same time, I liked it, same goes for the intro it was illustrating the title and the combination of sunshine and mental disease, at first I thought I heard wrong or some voice technic problem.
_OST 0/1: Netflix originals lacks when it comes to ost, Kdrama is known for giving the best ost that deliver the emotion of the scene, but this drama had NOTHING. Play a random song with the credit at the end means nothing for me.
_Style&view&colors 0.5/1:
The color of the nurse's uniform is perfect, nothing special about the character's style in clothes, but the colors at the hospital were beautiful
My problem was with the FL's house the colors were depressing and you could barely see with the lightings, what it was so depressing for no reason.
_Ending 0.5/1:
It was good when it comes to the FL but not much as I mentioned in the plot part, when it comes to another character.

Total is 6.5 but I'll add my bonus point because the drama touched me deep and cried many times, it had some medical accuracy and realistic touch instead of magical recovery of diseases, and with a great message that No one of us is immune against mental diseases
