Juz finish a korean drama call "thank you". its really a nice and touching drama. love e cast so much. e kid is so cheerful and e doctor is jux so CUTE!!
Story:
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.
The child Lee Bom becomes infected with HIV through a blood transfusion. When villagers find out she has the virus they pressure Bom and her family her single mom and great-grandfather suffering from Alzheimer's to leave the small island village. They fear, out of ignorance, that they will also get infected for just being near her. The portrayal of the strong stigma attached to AIDS reflects low awareness of the disease in South Korea, where AIDS is becoming increasingly a social issue even though the rate of the disease's spread here is relatively low.
i recommend it to yh and she's watching it now. u all shld go watch it if u're free. its a really fantantic drama! e child is such a poor thing tho, to be infected with HIV at such a young age.
