Dragoste... fără Pată (2018)

Where's Cleaning Fairy When You Need Them?

Clean with passion for now.... a drama that suffered many episodes being delayed and a story that had great potential but ultimately fell short. I would like to start off by saying this drama was enjoyable to watch however, its story and makeup isn't anything that the veteran drama watcher hasn't seen before. There was much "controversy" should I say, over Yoon Gyun Sang being cast as the main lead, with him being 12 years older than the female lead and not fitting the stereotypical "Kdrama main lead" look. Despite this Yoon Gyun Sang performed quite well in this drama, and I was left impressed with his performance. Kim Yoo Jung did good as well but, unfortunately what made both their characters fall short is lazy writing.

Story: 5.5
With mysophobia being the main theme of the drama it became almost an annoyance later on into the series. At first, watching Jang Sun Gyeol go through the very basic tasks of day-day life with his condition was interesting and funny at times, it even made me feel sympathy for his character. However, this is a romance drama and I felt like a lot of the romance aspects of the drama like going on dates, hugging, etc. were delayed to long, to the point were when it finally happened I was completely bored and disinterested. The main leads/characters did experience development but, it came out of nowhere with no explanation as to why they changed. This drama near the end also dragged out a sub-story for waaay too long and in all honesty could have been solved in a single episode. The only thing that kept me from dropping this was the bromance between the 3 cleaning employees at Sun Gyeol's company played by Kim Minkyu, Yang Hak Jin, and Cha In Ha.

Acting/Cast: 9.0
Acting was very good, delivered solid performances and made me feel emotions towards the characters despite the story making me want to bang my head against a wall sometimes. I don't think many people experienced sls but, I definitely did. Song Jae Rim did a great job at making the audience feel for him (and he's super cute lol). For the leads, Yoo Jung stole the show with being able to portray a character that had a (too wide) range of emotions.

Music: 8.5
Nice to listen to but nothing that took my breath away.

Rewatch: 3
Personally don't think I'll ever re watch this again and wouldn't particularly recommend it unless you have a lot of time on your hands or just want a typical comedy/romance drama.

Overall: 6.5
Wouldn't say you shouldn't not give this drama a try but, just be prepared to skip some scenes. If you want a drama that's pretty basic and something that can pass the time I'd recommend it but, other than that you're not missing anything.

A nice romcom drama .... up until the last two and a half episodes!

I have to say, I started watching the drama (mainly because I recently discovered Lee Do Hyun) and I really liked the way it started. However, then from episode 14 (or maybe even 13), it took a turn in the wrong direction.
But let's do this neatly.
First of all, I liked the ML. In my opinion, he is a very good actor who could convey his character's emotions, habits, etc. quite convincingly. Sun Gyeol, his character, is not someone to be envied in this drama. He is a poor soul, suffering from childhood trauma, abuse from his tyrant grandfather, and he mother who was absent most of the time (although I liked her development).
Kim You Jung did a pretty good job as well, although she seems too young for her role. I liked her character at first, Gil O-Sol seemed to be a pretty strong young woman who didn't let failure come in her way. However, in course of this drama O-Sol turned into someone who could not speak one sensible sentence... quite annoying.
Song Jae Rim provides a strong case of second lead syndrome... I loved his character and I wanted him to end up with someone who deserves him so bad... but his "end" is so frustrating. He deserves so much better. I would really like to see him in a main role where he gets the girl.

I loved the side characters! But here is the thing, they had so so so much potential which wasn't used at all! Gil O-Dol aka Lee Do Hyun needs to have more screen time, especially more scenes with Joo Yun, they had so much chemistry and such a sweet story going on. The cleaning fairies are so funny, but also have interesting background stories, so we definitely need to know more about them!


Finally, spoiler alert:
The story develops quite ok, you have some typical k-drama tropes, but then, as I have hinted before, the story takes a dark turn. I really don't understand why they needed to break up Sun Gyeol and O-sol. And why she wasn't able to tell him why.... Sun Gyeol had absolutely not idea what was going on, but everybody left him in the dark! So frustrating and bad storytelling, I have to say. And he was completely innocent and had nothing to do with the whole tragic incident, but was made responsible. I didn't understand his grandfather as well... what exactly did he try to achieve? And why was is so easy for him to be redeemed??? This storyline wasn't believable at all. Additionally, the way Sun Gyeol was treated by O-sol and her father when he came back was sooo annoying. He didn't deserve such a rude treatment at all.

So all in all I cannot really recommend it. I watched this drama mainly because of Lee Do Hyun, I think he is amazing actor, so I don't regret the time I wasted watching, but I think there are way better romcoms out there which have better plots and more interesting characters.

This drama was a love and hate relationship. The story is absolutely nothing new, but the cast made their very best, I loved the clean team since they were so funny, but among all of them I failed in love with the doctor's character he was superb!
That's the kind of drama to watch when there's nothing else to watch because is simple to follow, funny in many scenes so literally nothing super hard to follow, has a little part of a dark past of characters (like all the rom-com dramas) that luckily didn't turned out to be bpring or that took all the scenes based on this!

I related to the male lead as i have ocd issues also. He acted perfectly well in representing the psychological illness so well done!

The female lead on the other hand was not exactly enjoyable to watch. At a later point in the show i found her to be kind of irritating.

ALSO did anyone notice THIS? —>> HOW CAN SHE AFFORD TO USE A FULL SET OF 6 FULL SIZED LANEIGE PRODUCTS ON A CLEANER’S SALARY?? (Hello! Her father lost his job and he was practically wearing torn underwear on top of protesting and begging for his job back SO she has to help SUPPORT the family! Buy your dad some good clothes and food woman!) WRONG ADVERT PLACEMENT ALERT YO!

All in, if you’ve exhausted all good netflix series you can watch this. Its not bad. Just don’t expect too much because it’s not Goblin level.

This has really been in my watch list, however I wasn't able to watch it as soon as I can. I was actually thinking if it'll be really good. I wanted to watch this because of Yun Gyun Sang but still at the crossroad. After some thoughtful months ?? I've decided to watch it ?

The plot is unique and quite amusing. It gave a new perspective about people who are in the cleaning industry. I have never thought that people could help other by cleaning. I totally agree to what Yun Gyun Sang said. This drama also touched the part of some employees who were looked down because of their kind of job. It was good that they have that kind of boss who are fair and protective of their employees in a right way. This is quite a reminder.

Yun Gyun Sang really made me laugh. Some scenes are quite OA but he acted it well enough that it was still hilarious. I didn't imagine that I would be laughing at that kind of scene/act, but his facial reactions are so funny that even if I didn't like much the scene I still laughed??

This is the first time I saw Song Jae Rim, and he's handsome. His acting is great, and the character he's playing suited him well. I loved Yun Gyun Sang, but I still wished that Gil Oh Sol ended up with him. My heart broke with him that time?? Anyway, I'm looking forward for more of his drama. I'm sure to watch it ??

I know it'll be worth watching because of Kim Won Hae. It's good to see him there. I also appreciate the presence of Ko Gun Han. He really adds in making the drama light and funny.

Min Do Hee is always playing as a very supportive best friend in many dramas. Her acting is great. I hope she'll lead a drama in the future, and I'm sure to watch it?

The cleaning fairies are handsome and funny. I loved how they developed their friendship.

There are some boring scenes though, but still worth watching.

Interesting drama to watch!

When my friend suggest me to watch this, the first thing I said is "Who is the lead hero? I don't know him and he's not good looking also!"

But after I read a review about it, so I opened my heart and my mind and try to watch it. Well, thanks a lot for the review. This drama really makes me google a lot and do my research about the illness, Mysophobia. It's a new information to me. Thanks to this drama!

i started to like the male lead. How dare they said he's not good looking? (I am one of them who said that at first). I started to fall for him even he is quite huge and very tall. ( before I don't really like a very tall guy but for Kyun Sang I will re-think again 😂). I really like his full and cute cheek!

The storyline is good and perfect. Only I'm wondering about one thing. Why the writer and the director create the female lead character very very messy? Not taking bath for many days? Really? ok forget about that.

Now we talk about the songs. I like the song from Klang. Really nice. It makes me happy and my heart fill with butterflies. Overall, all the songs are just perfect.

Oh about the Second lead hero. I thought he will end up with female lead's bestfriend. Well it's okay. Don't bother. I still love this drama very much.

So my conclusion is, this drama is really nice, cute, informative, and funny just like The Secret Life Of My Secretary. There is so many feelings were mixed up inside. I really like it. Oh! And their kiss scene also awesome!

For me, it's just perfect. I would like to give 10 stars! I really hope someday I can see Yoon Kyun Sang again as the male lead in romantic comedy. Anyway, bravo to all!

Way ahead of its time but near the end was honestly not needed

Well I think we can all definitely agree that our male lead, Jang Sun Gyeol here is ahead of his time because it wasn’t long that we got the “I don’t want to talk about it virus” two years later so FairPlay to him for showing us the clean measures before we did seriously! Gyeol (the neat freak as we all know ) and Oh Sol (not really bothered by being excessively clean) were adorable together like their relationship was so sweet ❤️ I also liked the blushes although not gonna lie, it was odd at first because I really thought it was animeish but you get use to it and your heart skips a beat when the pair of them are shy of each other.

I wasn’t keen though near the ending where you see Oh Sol cutting off the relationship off without talking about her grief (she lost her mother in a building accident along with others thanks to Sun Gyeols selfish grandad) with Sun Gyeol. I mean I didn’t understand why she had to wait 2 years for the pair of them to get back together. I just felt this scene was pointless. What’s even more pointless is that this story had an unnecessary love triangle where you see Daniel Choi as the “boy next door but he’s the hottest doctor out there really” . I mean he was basically just there to taunt the ML with his “doctor techniques” and soothe the FL for her to come to him . At the end of the day, he is just your typical third wheeler that we see too many times in love stories and it’s getting old man seriously…

Overall the whole setup is nice but pretty clique with your usual love rivalry shenanigans and a drunk clumsy FL (seriously when are we ever gonna find a sober one?!)The music is cute too especially the OP.

Also check out Aengos “Your Smile is a Trap” on Webtoon, it’s pretty cute too ❤️

Clean With Passion For Now es un drama para pasar el rato y poco más. No consigue ser grande ni pretende serlo. Lleva consigo los clichés típicos de este tipo de series, pero está lejos de ser un mal drama. Sí es verdad que el guión se desinfla allá por la recta final y hubo ciertas cosas que pudieron ser manejadas de otra manera, pero en series así es bastante común recurrir a un poco de sufrimiento y retroceso para llegar al 'Happy Ending' que ya sabemos de sobras que nos regalarán.

La pareja protagonista me ha gustado; me parecieron bastante bien aunque por momentos sus personalidades lograban exasperarme un poquito y ganas me sobraban de darles un zape para que espabilaran un poco xD. Los personajes secundarios son entrañables, y eso, en parte, consigue levantar los episodios cuando comienzan a decaer. Hay escenas muy graciosas, eso sí, y una que otra carcajada por ahí y por allá sí está asegurada.

Drama recomendado para quien quiera pasar un buen rato sin sufrir tanto en el proceso o esté hambriento de finales felices y relaciones cuquis al por mayor.

I was rooting for Jae Rim the whole time even if I know he is just the second lead. The episodes got boring in the middle and the last episode was rushed with many things happening which could have been better if they started slowing down to the end since episode 14. The bromance was cute and it made me smile than the main characters. I hope they did justice to Hae In since he waited for the girl for a long time but there were less screen time and looks like he is just an extra where in fact this was a love triangle. I would also love for more screen time of O Dol and Ju Yeon since I get butterflies in my stomach watching them. The story was so full of cliches, it had all the kdrama cliches that you could think of. In the last episodes I got bored and skipped a lot. And them main male lead did not make me cry but Hae In did. Overall, I was okay watching but will never watch it again.

Nice, easy to watch and entertaining

OK, so I really put off watching this drama based on the hot & cold reviews here and I am glad I did watch it.
I don't get the hate towards this Drama, especially those saying some episodes are worthless (especially 14, 15 and 16).
Anyone who has watched more than 5 dramas could tell what they were doing and where this was going to go... They need to create drama, they need some redeeming arcs, they need some noble idiocy (I abhor it, but it's fairly common in dramaland).

I loved the chemistry between the leads and the cleaning team, they all worked well together. Made me laugh, cringe and even brought me to the verge of tears. Some moments I will rewatch as they cracked me up.
