SYNOPSIS: Komapsumnida is a story about how a single mother, her grandfather and her daughter changed the life of a heartbroken, bitter doctor. Min Gi-Seo, a talented doctor finds himself on the island of Pureundo, a far cry from the city life he is used to. His "job" there is easy, but what he finds there changes his life. Before she dies Dr. Min's girlfriend confesses to him that a child on that island has AIDS due to her indiscretion and she had never forgiven herself for it. She asks him to help her apologize to the child and her mother. Dr. Min soon finds himself living with the AIDS infected girl; Bom (Spring), her mother Young-Shin, and her Grandpa; Mr. Lee. Dr. Min soon learns from this family what it means to really live a life full of love, happiness and selflessness. His heart soon changes and he finds himself actually caring about the "hillbilly" people of the island, especially the small family in who's care he feels entrusted with. They soon become a miracle that he is truly thankful for.

REVIEWS: At first I thought "Thank You" was going to be one of those horribly depressing Korean dramas and I was wary to watch it. However, but the end of the first episode I was hooked on the complex and amazing characters in this drama. And before I continue I must praise Jang Hyuk on his comback after his miliarty service. He was brilliant!

Each and every character in this drama touches your heart, (Especially Bom, her grandpa; Mr. Lee, and Dr. Min)

This drama was actually based on a very "taboo" subject for a K-drama; how people react and treat someone with AIDS. I thought the writers, producers, etc...did an amazing job handling this topic. They didn't spend too much time dwelling on the fact that Bom had AIDS, but instead how her mother, her and her Grandpa lived every day life with happiness, gumption and heart. The relationship dynamics in this drama between Bom, Young Shik (the mom) and Mr. Lee was just remarkable. I can't say enough about these characters. And once Dr. Min enters the picture the relationships get even deeper. Dr. Min's character at first seems very shallow and tense, but we soon discover how deep he really is, how loving and considerate he is. I ended up falling in love with him along with Young Shik!

This is a truly WONDERFUL drama. I recommend this to anyone who needs a feel good story. I did cry a little, but it wasn't depressing at all, instead it was hopeful and uplifting as every good drama should be.

Congrats to the cast and crew of Komapsumnida for making a marvelous drama!
