Better than the original, pretty decent adaption

Gu Ren Qi is a CEO of a cleaning company but he's suffering from extreme mysophobia. Quite opposite of his character Shuang Jiao enters his life and both affect each other for the better.
Original vs. Remake:
This is a remake of the original story 'Clean With Passion for Now'. If I had to choose one I would go with the remake. Because the remake had the change that I expected in the original one. The original one portrays the FL in a very unhygienic way. Also the cause of the ML's mysophobia (the playground incident) was disturbing to watch. Other aspects were way to melodramatic and the couple didn't seem compatible. The Chinese remake smoothened those parts for better. Although the Chinese adaption has some unnecessary
fillers.
Story:
Going to the story nothing extraordinary. Just another romcom. At a phase the story telling seemed plain more like inconsistent. It had a lot of clichés. Specially the proposal dance.
Acting:
Jasper Liu and Shen Yue gave their best as usual. They portrayed their characters decently. All other characters were satisfactory. Psychiatrist Lu Xian seemed irritating at a point (at initial episodes I thought I might get 2nd lead syndrome for his unrequited childhood love. I gladly take back my words). His methods felt contradictory to medical practice. Mostly cdramas have multiple couple, who sweeten the story more. But the 2nd couple didn't create that much impact.
OST:
The thing that was impressive other than acting was the OSTs. The visuals were pretty nice.

To sum up it's a decent watch. The couple are nice to watch. If you're up for fluff it's worth the watch. Ignoring a few clichés it's not a bad choice for romcom.
