Applause (2023)

Here comes an adorable PSA ~

Watching this, I found the story quite wholesome slowly going through the basic responsibilities of the guide dog while addressing the hesitancy of someone whose recently losing their vision being dependent on someone else. It allows us to envision and engage with the reality of a visually impaired person being able to follow their dreams alongside others.

I did find the female lead's characterization insensitive in some parts, but the message of the drama overshadowed that. I wouldn't say not to watch the drama cause of that. In fact, her obstinancy drives the plot forward and pushes the visually impaired male lead to live his life, confidently, without any restrictions.

Definitely an idealistic drama, however, an educational and wholesome one that convinces us that guide dogs are excellent and empowering supports for those visually impaired.
