Clean with Passion for Now Quick Plot Recap
Jang Seon Kyul (Yoon Kyun Sang) is handsome, wealthy, intelligent…and afraid of germs. Owning a cleaning company which he calls The Cleaning Fairies, everything in his life is as normal as it gets until he crossed paths with Gil O Sol (Kim Yoo Jung). Almost polar opposites, Gil O Sol functions just fine with a little chaos, both in her usually unkempt appearance and somewhat disorganized way of living.
With a little tug of fate, crossing paths led to an employer-employee relationship between the two.
Clean with Passion for Now Peak Points
*Spoilers Ahead
Equal Respect for Non-Office Jobs
If there is a shining glory for this series, this would be the spotlight to all kinds of work. All type of jobs, as long as it is honorable and does not harm anyone, and can bring food on a family’s table as a result of hard-earned labor, deserves respect.
It is quite understandable for Gil O Sol’s father to wish that neither O Sol nor O Dol (Lee Do Hyun) will follow his footsteps in working on the cleaning industry, not because it is something to be disgusted with, but because he does not want his daughter and his son to experience the discrimination he used to get from others for being a cleaner most of his years.
Life traumas are meant to be confronted directly
Closures on specific situations in life may or may not come. Even Seon Kyul’s mysophobia has stemmed from something deeper than a specific gross incident of his childhood (though that might have been the start).
It might be difficult to sometimes admit that we need help from a medical point of view, yet we should know when to ask for help. And nope, not even the story’s very own psychiatrist, Choi Ha In (Song Jae Rim), is exempted from a guilty complex from an incident in the past.
Love and forgiveness takes time
Cliché saying, but for a reason. It was not Seon Kyul’s fault that he is his grandfather’s grandson, but I think it is fair and necessary for him and O Sol to spend some time apart after the revelation of their cruel connection.
They both grew as individuals, and O Sol’s family also needed that time to come to terms with everything that happened. Heartfelt forgiveness is better than a forced one, after all.
Clean With Passion For Now Series Musings
The unsmooth parts of the series starting Episode 10 almost made me give up, but my desire to see how things will be wrapped out made me stay. I love that the stories of the supporting characters were not left in cold and that the Cleaning Fairies gang in the end were reunited.
Clean with Passion For Now is both hilarious and heartwarming, so even the troubled parts of the drama can be forgiven.
