BeetBits: Clean With Passion For Now Review

-




Clean With Passion starring Yoon Kyun Sang and Kim Yoo Jung is a romantic comedy Korean drama that is based on a webcomic with the same title published Via comico.kr. The drama aired on JTBC a cable channel in Korea that is well-known for choosing unique scripts. It did not gain very high ratings compared to other dramas. However, I am sure people who did watch the show enjoyed it. For international viewers, this Korean drama is available on Netflix, Viki and Viu.

Story and Writing

The drama starts with a male lead who suffers from OCD and a germ phobia, having a male lead who is not totally "oh charming and handsome" is the charming point of this drama. He owns a cleaning company despite his faults. He is charming and a hard worker, he can sometimes be annoying as well. The drama also has a lot of funny moments where you crack up laughing because the logic behind everything is beyond you. The initial meeting between the male lead and the female lead is in itself too comic to watch without cracking.
The female lead Gil Oh-Sol is the total opposite of the male lead, she doesn't mind getting dirty. She starts working in a part-time job in Jang Seon-Kyul's company, and he tries his best to avoid her as she is a germ house in his mind, but somehow she is hard to avoid.

 Characters and Actors

Although the comedy in the drama is a charming point, it is not the only point beside the romance. The background story behind the main male lead is touching and true to many people. If you are a person who ever went through a bad experience of any sort, you can relate to the main guy. Additionally, the heroine is far from the typical heroine, she is not weak or a crybaby, she is strong physically and mentally. She even has her moments where she is more dependable than the male lead. The drama got to a rather typical story-line during the last couple of episodes, but that also was solved spectacularly, leaving you completely and utterly satisfied. Also, the little bits you get to know about every side character in the story is exciting and intriguing. I am ready to watch another drama with just the side characters of this one and their stories.

 Overall Rating 

Finally, this drama is well-paced with barely any frame for unneeded scenes or events that make you cringe. If you like unique shows, it does have that bit of uniqueness you might love. Furthermore, the actors did a fantastic job portraying the characters. Overall Rating for this drama for me is 8/10.

BeetBits: Move To Heaven

 Probably the fastest binge ever in my own history of binge-watching. Move To Heaven is a short 10 episode drama produced by Netflix, especially for Kdrama lovers. It explores life and death through the story of the workers at Move To Heaven trauma cleaning agency. From Lee Je Hoon to the newly discovered Tang Joon-Sang, the cast for this drama is more than top-notch.  Trauma Cleaning  Ever heard of trauma cleaning? Personally, I have never heard nor even thought about them. It is weird, they say, "away from the eyes, away from the mind." It is totally true in this case. I have even written about unconventional careers before for a job; surprisingly, this job was not even mentioned anywhere. It is like the whole industry of crime scene cleaning is not exactly recognized by people. After reading a few articles about a trauma cleaner's job, it is a job that requires handling chemical materials that remove the worst type of contamination you can think of. Certainly, a job th

I seriously need to write a list of unpopular Kdramas for 2020. I keep discovering new gems that I should have watched last year.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation This is a 12-episode short series starring Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Sun Bin as the main characters alongside multiple first-rate supporting actors. I especially loved Jung Sang-hoon in here. I always saw him in comedic roles and he was fun to watch but I wanted to see him in a serious role once.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation Review Team Bulldog is a mystery drama with quirky characters, fun investigations, disgusting murderers, and interesting reporters. You get the whole package in just 12 episodes in this drama. A group of misfits try to solve mysteries that the police themselves cannot solve. With one member a real detective, they are not a totally illegitimate group; therefore, they have access to crime scenes and police resources when needed. The group itself includes a former forensic pathologist, a former profil

BeetBits: Hot Stove League

Korean dramas in 2020 were really top-notch. Despite finishing my fair share of dramas, I am still discovering new gems till now in January. Hot Stove League is one of the dramas I didn't think I would like because I literally know nothing about Baseball. In fact, I am "sports illiterate" in general. However, this is one show that could count as educational, entertaining, and even non-romantic. Still, before starting the drama, it is better if you are not familiar with the rules of baseball to at least read an article before the beginning of this drama. It is not a drama about a high school team, therefore, you won't start the drama with an introduction to the rules of the game. In fact, one of the first meetings in the show included terminologies like WAR (Wins Above Replacements), batting average, etc. Therefore, I recommend you read the following articles before you start.  1. Baseball Rules by Rules of Sports 2. Baseball Positions: All 9 Fielding Positions Explai
