It's been a while since H.I.T that I've been captivated by a Korean drama and although it might be too soon to proclaim Thank You a classic masterpiece having only watched the first episode, I'm already bowled over by the heart-warming and heart-rending scenes. This drama was made in an attempt to address the social stigma attached to AIDs sufferers. I'm interested to see how the screenwriter has chosen to develop the story. For now, all I can say is that it is a pure delight watching Seo Shin Ae's charming portrayal of Bom. She's such a chatty, cheerful, pert, precocious child that it's initially hard to believe that she's stricken with AIDs.
