The Plot

Due to unprecedented loss of obtaining jobs and some how becoming a YouTube star Gil-Oh becomes an cleaner to the biggest and sexiest cleaning agency in the area. But sadly due to a debt she has to pay to her new boss who has mys-phobia.  (thats the word they use but it he just hates germs)  they do have to work together. But due to contradicting personalities there is a unique bond that becomes more.

The Characters

Gil -Oh is the lead female protagonist who as stated above has become a cleaner due to a vast amount of failed interviews. She joins the agency after a incident with a car (rubbish sewed all over the car) not only this but she and her new boss do not get along even though she is indebted to him for the mess that was done to his car. Although he does have her back when there are work issues. 

Her family has no idea she is working as a cleaner as her dad is a cleaner himself but does not want his daughter to go through the same ordeal he has too. She does has an loving relationship with her immediate family. Sadly her mother was killed during an protest over 3 years ago and the families of all who died did not receive compensation or an apology from the firm who was redeveloping the area which incurred the accident.

Jang Seon-Kyui is the main male lead in this show and as stated he is the owner and boss of Gil-Oh. He has a OCD disorder that hods him back in life and to him seems normal but his family think differently and try inordinate measure to get rid of it. He does start his relationship with Gil-Oh rather poorly but eventually he comes to trust her. His grandfather who is the owner of the firm who caused the accident killing the protestors and refusing to take responsibility.

Daniel Cho (also known as Choi Ha-in) is the second male lead who has a secret career as a psychiatrist (which isn't really a secret as no one bothered to ask him directly.) He has had a crush on Gil-Oh since meeting her at the protest by giving him a yogurt  irregardless of him being on the opposing side.

RIP Cha In- Ha

Cha was on of the actors on the show who sadly died due to suicide in 2019. He was only 27 and was a member of the kpop group Surprise U. He also starred in The Banker, Love with Flaws, The Pirates  and Mr.Go. In this drama he was not an titular character but was a comedy relief character throughout the show. He will be remembered for this and his other works.

My Opinion

In my personal opinion this program was very enjoyable yet not as memorable as i would like.  I found it fun and helpful for people with Mental Health issues as  the Daniel character showed us what good psychiatry looks like. Although at the end when her young brother said he was going to Tokyo 2020, it shook me as it did of learning Cha's death. once again Rest In Peace.

 I give this 6/10.

Fun Fact: Gil-Oh's father was played by Kim Won Hae who i recognised from Strong Woman Bong Soon as the mafia gang leader and the over the top openly gay man with a super sweet tooth. All hilariously portrayed.  I have also seen his work in another Kdrama which i will get to soon enough.
