We all know people feel discriminated or judged whenever they tell others about their work as sanitary workers.Ĭompared to working in a “clean and normal” job like those in an office, working under such conditions caused people to look down on these laborers.Īs Gil Oh-Sol’s father said in one of the episodes, “I don’t want you to live the way I did.” He’s working as a district cleaner for 25 years.
The 16-episode drama may have used the cliche in the characters, a grandson of a conglomerate and poor female lead with problems in cleanliness, but they created a different twist by involving them into the cleaning industry, the most prejudiced section in the society. Clean With Passion For Now did exactly that. In my previous posts, I wrote about challenging the cliche. If he’s obsessed with cleanliness, she doesn’t care about taking a bath every single day to the point she doesn’t change clothes for days. This is where he met his future-girlfriend, Gil Oh-Sol, who apparently lives an untidy lifestyle opposite of his. He returned to Korea with high hopes to turn his negative OCD lifestyle into positive by building his cleaning company named Clean With Passion For Now.
His grandfather sent him to the US for recovery, but his uncooperative behavior caused the failure of the therapy.
His mother’s absence during his childhood and not knowing his biological father added to it.īelieving his mom would return if he’s absolutely clean, he practiced odd rituals such as washing his body for hours, washing his hands and face until he bleeds, etc. The story involves the grandson of AG Group chairman, Jang Seon-Kyul, suffering from mysophobia, fear of germs, due to the childhood trauma he experienced under the care of his grandfather. It’s a romantic-comedy starring Yoon Kyun-sang, Kim Yoo-jung, and Song Jae-rim. It’s a new Korean drama series aired in JTBC from November 26, 2018, to February 4, 2019. I admit I spent almost my whole night watching this Korean drama not only because it strikes some curiosity in my part, but also it gives me a new insight into my writing. When I got myself caught into this new Kdrama series, I thought of sharing my views by writing a “Clean with Passion for Now” review. In most Korean drama series I’ve seen like Clean with Passion for Now, there are actually controversial issues written subtly mixed in such a way only critical people notice them.
