Clean With Passion For Now (2018)

INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, HILARIOUS AND HIGHLY UNDERRATED!

Waoh! Where do I begin? My instinct told me I was going to love this show based on the plot. I remember laughing at how it'll play out and my God, I'm blown. It's amazing, concrete, precise and straight up good. Both leads were phenomenal but what's even more dope was the fact every other supporting characters were remarkable as well. They all played their part wonderfully, they made themselves unforgettable.

= PLOT
Going into it, I deeply wondered how the plot will play out cuz I've never seen something like this on screen. After watching, I have to give the biggest kudos to the Writers. I used to think i had OCD, based on some traits I have. But after seeing this, I realize there's a BIG DIFFERENCE between liking things a certain way and being an actual Mysophobe. They were very clever and direct with how the disorder is portrayed and it's challenges. it made me realize that OCD is a SERIOUS condition and it shouldn't be played with or joked around.

It was SOOOOO FUNNY. I laughed so much that I think my laughing meter is broken. The ML's antics cracked me to hell and back.

An educative masterpiece!

= ACTING

ML - I first encountered YKS in Class of Lies and I remember constantly asking, 'Who's this HUGE Man that's sooo uniquely beautiful?'. Decided to look at his Filmography and found CWPFN. He was simply incredible as a mysophobe. His tantrums were so funny and mad hilarious to watch. I deeply empathized with him.

FL - KYJ was amazing. I understand she's still quite young but it never showed. She displayed a wide range of emotions and was incredible. I loved her quirkyness and Spunk. Her character was actually brave and courageous to me.

*IMPORTANT* - The Kissing scenes were so tastefully done, I kept rewatching them. The main kiss was so beautiful and lusty. I LOVED it. I've barely seen kissing scenes like that in Kdramas. Actors just graze lips together and call it 'kiss'; always so disappointing. But this one was AMAZING. It was deep, passionate and again, lustful. 10/10.

Supporting Characters (SC) - They were AMAZING. Cha In Ha's death still gives me a blow cuz he was soooo bright on this show. I loved him so much. His antics killed me. I laughed at his every scene. It made me wondered how such a Colorful person could have died for real. May his soul rest in peace.

Every other character was amazing too.

The chemistry between the characters were incredible and Top-notch. It was just a flawless blend of brilliant actors and actress.

REVIEW - An honest 8/10. Yes, it was that GOOD.

Pretty good

This drama is good but it did take me a while to finish it since it wasn't that exciting but each episode was alright.

Jang Sun Gyeol-
It took me around 10 episodes to finally start liking him, he was kinda annoying.

Gil Oh Sol-
She was nice and pretty, not much to say about her. I did think the whole depressed era she had when moving in with Jang Sun Gyeol was weird, so I was happy to see her back to her normal self around episode 14.

Choi Ha In-
Second male lead syndrome!!! I loved him a lot.... he deserve love. His love story should actually be the plot for another drama because wow, being in love with someone for years after they gave you some food while you're working hard and then giving them some comfort when they're sad without them knowing that it's you. Loved him way more than Jang sun Gyeol.

It's an OK show but I didn't love it

Personally, I thought this show was ok.
As a big fan of Kim Yoo Jung (the only reason I watched this drama in the first place), I didn't really like it. But overall, with my bias and the sweet moments between the main leads, I'd recommend watching it if you're bored.
I liked the cute moments in this drama and their kiss/dating scenes were probably the cutest scenes I've ever seen in k-drama history. Their chemistry in those moments were the best and you probably wouldn't care much about the age gap if you just focus on those. The puppy love between the two main leads are just too adorable so I'm going to commend them for that. I think it's because of the acting between KYJ and YKS but whatever was the reason, these scenes were the best things that graced this show.
Another great thing about this drama was the humor. I loved the scenes of Oh Sol with her family, especially when they're bickering or teasing each other. It was funny and it really showed how weird they were. The side characters were also very fun and interesting so you shouldn't get bored with the comedy if that's what you're looking for.
I didn't really like the main characters though – by themselves at least. The female lead was really naive (in the idiotic way) to the point where I just rolled my eyes at her antics sometimes. She wasn't that bad for a lead (there's been a lot of naive, idiotic leads before) but they should've at least given her a bit more common sense in the beginning of the drama so she could handle the following events better. It would've made her more likeable (at least to me) and she would still have room for character development. Then there was the male lead who was narcissistic and egotistical in the first parts of the show. He was really stingy in the non-charismatic way so I disliked him more than I did Gil Oh Sol. Was there character development? Yes. I think there was. But it didn't really change the fact that I couldn't root for Gil Oh Sol in the beginning and I couldn't find myself liking Jang Sun Gyeol for her either. They ended up creating good chemistry in the end when he stops being an asshole and she becomes a smarter person overall (as was portrayed in the cute moments) but the with the amount of self-importance he had for himself and her knack for clumsily destroying opportunities, individually, I didn't understand how they grew to like each other in the first place.
I personally didn't like the story as much as well. If it hadn't been for the cuteness of the main leads, I would've dropped this show by the time I got to the middle of it. As a lot of people commented, the story gets a bit draggy in the middle and it just became more boring (at least, to me). Still however, the best Gil Oh Sol and Jang Sun Gyeol moments were in the middle so even thought it gets sort of draggy story wise, the main leads became a bit more likeable in the second half too. That's probably what saved it for me.
The OSTs were sort of good but they're not my favorite. Don't take this to heart though, a lot of people have been complimenting the song choices of this drama. You do you since I'm not exactly into those types of songs in anyway.
All-in-all I'd say that this show is ok and it's not the best but if you're looking for something casual to watch, check it out.

I decided to watch this drama out of curiosity. It was rated multiple stars on Viki so I mean why not? I was bored and i was looking for a romance to watch. This drama is definitely quirky and cringy at some points and although most wouldn't like that, i think that it really adds to the story. In the beginning, the story gives off funny rom-com vibes and thats what i love most! I think that the actors did a great job on this. I really enjoyed the story however i rated it pretty low because its not original at all. Would recommend to a person who likes cliche k-dramas!

Sorry, the review sucked too! I don't have much time. Also please remember this is my opinion and sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes.

XOXO,

Unbiasesuser

Really cute for the most part!

Besides a few moments that really bring the show down, most of the time, the moments between the lead couple are so cute and funny! Especially Sun-gyeol. His expressions and interactions were a real delight to watch. My favorite moments were actually between him and Ha-In, and I love how their friendship developed. Also agree with others that the kissing scenes are incredible and cute!

Speaking of Ha-In, while I loved his character as a person, there were several times I had a question in my head of just how ethical he was being as a physician. There was one scene where he told O-sol some of Sun-gyeol's family history and roots of his trauma, and I'm not sure that's something he should mention. In any case, I'm happy he didn't turn into a bitter person after he was rejected, and was really looking out for O-sol as an actual friend.

Also, I'm no expert on misophobia, so I don't know how easy it is to cure, but I feel like his condition looked plausible throughout the series. I'm not even sure if "cure" is the right word here, but he looked believably better in the end. Again, kudos to the actor, but he somehow made it look to the naked eye, like normal actions, but since we know his history, there was this uneasiness at times during moments that used to be impossible for him. The fact that he can do all of that now is impressive.

There were some times that felt unnecessarily dramatic (I know, in a drama? Shocking!), but I felt incredibly bad for Sun-gyeol toward the end. Especially the lead up to his accident. I don't care if no one agrees, but O-sol was absolutely partly responsible for that. Not of the accident itself, but the way he was feeling at the time. The one thing he definitely told her was that he felt she was the first person to really empathize with his condition and she didn't make him feel weird about it. Then, in some convoluted dramatic must-break-up scene, she tells him that it was "too much for her" and she was "tired" of him. Like WHY would you say that?! I love slow burns, but I hate terrible break ups just for them to get back together anyway. It was a nice ending, though, but still.

The other characters are great. I love the clean crew so much! Her brother is also fun, and anyone that thought he was mean has probably never had a sibling before. I could tell how much he loves and cares for her.

The soundtrack is also really good! "Cosmos" by Huh Gak is my favorite.

I absolutely recommend watching it at least once. Yeah, there are some moments you might have to get through, but I enjoyed it overall.

I've never read the webtoon and I watched this drama very quickly once it's released because of the people who were in it. Yoon Kyun-sang from "Doctors"(great drama) and "Pinoccho"(also great drama,amazing) and Kim Yoo-jung from "Love in the Moonlight"(also one of the great). It gave me a lot of hope that this drama is going to be a good drama like one ft the dram they starred in. But as it turns out , until the last episode, it ended very quickly. It didn't wrapped up very nicely. It got me like," Wait what? Is that it?" kind of impression. Even though I liked the whole drama, the plot, the characters and also the lovey dovey/cute scenes that made me blush and grinning the whole time.

*tiny spoiler*



When this series was announced, I was so excited. The lead actor and and actress weren’t my favorite before the drama but I was looking forward to the story nonetheless. I was also skeptical because of the huge age gap between our male lead and female lead. After watching the entire series (with much much frustration) I came out loving the female lead actress and being obsessed with the Male lead actor. What sold this for me was definitely the male lead. At first I didn’t think he could pull the role off but now I’m so glad it was him because he made me feel every single emotion the male lead character felt. He made cry a lot because of how much you could feel his pain, love, angst. I should also applaud the female lead because she is still a teenager and she pulled that role off so well! I didn’t see her age at all and she had really good chemistry with both male actors. I didn’t think I was going to love the leads together so much, they gave me so much feels. I would love to see them again in a different lighter rom com, this one was just too heavy for me. The story could have been better. I really wish they didn’t add all that melodrama stuff, it really ruined the drama for me. Why I’m rating this low is because the couple broke up when they were barely together only for them to get together 2mins before the end of the drama. It was unsatisfactory. At the end of the drama, I didn’t feel satisfied even though the ending was what I wanted. Anyways WATCH FOR THE MALE LEAD AND THE LEAD COUPLE’s CHEMISTRY.

I have no problem with the casts or the storyline, at all. What annoyed me the most is the happy ending happened on the last five minutes of the drama. Can you imagine that?

The story is very simple. There's a self-made CEO who suffers Germaphobes aka clean freak. He's obsessed with sanitation and feel compelled to clean excessively. He even avoids to in touch with another people because of the sanitation reason. And there she is, a woman who's really not into cleaning and stuff. The rest of the drama is as you guessed: the clean freak CEO is falling for the "dirty" woman.

I laughed a lot while watching because the female lead is super funny and I can tell from her face. The male lead is to be honest not my CEO kind of type. But I think it's okay since I finished watching all the episodes.

If you're into simple love story with not much conflicts, this one is for you.

Come spesso accade, l'idea di base era molto buona

1) Attori decisamente bravi, alcuni già conosciuti e apprezzati in altre opere. Qualcuno è riuscito a fare la differenza.
2) La coppia di protagonisti mi ha fatto ridere e molto, li ho amati nelle scene in comune. Altro personaggio molto apprezzato è stato un collega della protagonista: ha un carisma e un'allegria invidiabili! Apprezzati molto anche il padre e il fratello della protagonista.
3) Affronta i difficile tema della DOC. Va bene che qui viene usato per fare ridere e a volte sembra estremizzato (e non lo è), però non è stato trattato affatto male e come cosa mi è piaciuta molto siccome anche io ne sono affetta (di un altro tipo). Ho riso cmq tanto.
MA...
1) Alcune situazioni risultano alquanto bislacche. Essere un rom-com stupidottero non lo giustifica dall'inserire cose a caso.
2) Il segreto che unisce i due protagonisti a loro insaputa è alquanto instabile. Il fatto poi che venga a galla negli ultimi due episodi e che venga trattato così così non giova di certo.
3) Questa è la cosa in assoluto più grave: un personaggio estremamente legato ai due protagonisti che usa la sua professione (e anche qui ci sarebbe da capire come ci è arrivato) a proprio vantaggio, cercando di dividerli. La cosa peggiore è che non viene giudicato per questo. Sembra che nessuno veda la gravità della cosa!
Nonostante la storia spassosa, romantica e che tratta un argomento a me molto vicino, non riesco a passare sopra a quest'ultimo punto. Mi dispiace.

Didn't enjoy the ending.

I loved this drama. Yoon Kyun Sang and Kim Yoo Jung are fantastic. They were out of this world good.

I hate that I can't give this show a higher rating than an 8.5. For how much I enjoyed the characters, the couple, everything, it just ruins itself at the end for so much of the last three episodes that it's more like you're being tortured than entertained.

Choices are made based on family pressures and other people's happiness that just feel like suffering to suffer from the FL. Which, okay. But if you're going to have one of the love interests cause the other one such pain and then think the audience should still root for that character to find happiness with them at the end... idk!

The male family members of both families are trash. The show attempts to redeem them at the very end, but it's just not possible. These three characters are portrayed to care only for their own happiness and come off as just vile creatures moving through the story to cause nothing but heartache and pain to the main couple. They just make the couple suffer, until the end when whelp change of heart... proving all the suffering they've put the characters through was unnecessary, even illogical. But what can ya do! Gotta have that easy conflict.

My biggest pet peeve is having characters do awful, awful things and then trying to redeem them right at the end. Such a bad trope imo. So frustrating, and often rushed and unearned. I adored the main couple, and really felt betrayed by what they did to that relationship in the final three episodes.
