Clean with Passion for Now

Two people couldn’t be more different yet find themselves drawn together in a Seoul office that doubles as a stage for messy emotions. Gil Oh-sol is a sharp, practical cleaner who takes pride in making spaces spotless. Jang Sun-gyul, the company’s aloof boss, is obsessed with order and comfort, a stark foil to her approach. When Oh-sol joins the team, Sun-gyul must confront his severe mysophobia and learn to trust again. Their professional clashes gradually give way to undeniable chemistry as Oh-sol helps him rewrite the rules of his world. The show blends witty banter with tender moments that probe how control can mask inner fears and how real connection can emerge from unlikely matches.

This 2018 South Korean romantic comedy drama was created by Noh Jong-chan, Han Hee-jung, and Kang Sook, with a cast led by Song Jae-rim, Kim Yoo-jung, and Yoon Kyun-sang.
