I really like the way you have brought clarity in your article regarding this fabulous drama. I was hooked from the get go as it strongly appeals to my appreciation of sci-fi (and the slow build up of the romantic interaction is a great counterpoint to the urgency of developing and playing the game).

One futuristic element that the game clearly points out is how AVR could be used to train people in real life situations. This is the natural extension of any game, whether it is a traditional board based game or one that is played using a remote or on-line.

Then there is the great mystery in itself - what is reality and can you live on forever in the game itself? Is it the doorway to immortality? This question makes me think of Professor Cha. His motivations are very suspicious.

Finally, there are the different relationships. They are multi dimensional - hooray! My favourite at this point, like a number of others, is the interaction between the younger sister and Jin Woo. She may just be the smartest one in the room. Both our leads are doing a great job too.

I look forward to more on what you may have to say in future articles.

Merry Christmas Se Na - lol!

I think you should dive in and take a look. It’s delightful, funny (sometimes it’s hard not to laugh out loud) and both our leads are doing a great job with a very good supporting cast. He is like a gentle bear and she is like Tinkerbell :)

I am really enjoying Clean With Passion, including the humour - it seems to be just right. I also think the FL and ML are great together - their characters have developed that kind of relationship that’s very accepting of one another for who they are. It was a fantastic twist at the end of episode 9.

I enjoyed the first episode. It flows well, with a good friendship between our two leads. There is a woeful boyfriend and a past love that may wish for something more. Aviis Zhong always stands out in her dramas. There are other familiar faces and they, along with the rest of the cast, are up to the mark too. Can’t wait to see what the message in the bottle has to say and what happens next...

:-)

Fates is unfolding so well. I found episodes 9 - 12 just flew by. Everyone is playing such a good role. Our OTP continues to smoulder on the screen. The way they portray how they are conflicted by their feelings towards one another is palpable.

Initially - one word: Fabulous. It just kept getting better and better until episode 9. After that it became something else. The story lost substance despite wrapping things up in a nice way. However, I can see how important this project was to both our leads...

Ep 7 was exceptional story telling. Their expressions alone carry the episode. It would have been good even without the game elements in it. Just so watchable...

I think that Clean With Passion is a delightful show. I have enjoyed every moment so far. We get to see a bearlike CEO totally transfixed by a pixie who displays Tinkerbell like tendencies from time to time (we have yet to see her get jealous). Fabulous article with wonderful insights and commentary - and, yes it is a very clever show. As you say, I thought your top moment was a brilliant piece of television.

I thought episode 11 recovered much of the ground lost during episode 10. My favourite couple is the publisher/writing couple and so I would to at least see a happy outcome for them in episode 12.

Delightful and funny. A true friendship that promises so much more.

Season 2 had some very good episodes. Overall, I like that this is a production which tries to be different to other Kdramas. It is building a place all of its own through creating layers of storytelling in successive seasons. We get to see our favourite characters grow and find out some interesting things along the way.

This movie is well worth your time and is a gentle reminder on what are the important things in life

Clean With Passion is such a nice show. I’m looking forward to the second half!

Exactly! Let’s hope when they figure out what she’s been up to it’s spectacular and well worth watching.

Yes, I see. I misunderstood what you were saying. My response was a literal one re how suffering trauma in the game will see you die in real life as the brain perceives the game as a real event. I’m not sure how to treat the blood loss at this stage. Perhaps it’s the start of some sort of manifestation that leads to a situation where, despite dying in the VR and therefore real life, you get to reboot yourself over and over again in the game and live on forever. Then conversely, what if the characters in the game transition into the real world - imagine that. Perhaps I’m babbling too much too :-)

At the halfway point and I swear that Jin Yoo’s mother is worse than the white truck of death the way she keeps popping up and influencing things. Surely, she can’t get away with it anymore :-)

I think you are on the money! This is how her brother as the creator of the game sees her. Time has never been a constant in Kdramas - lol. Professor Cha has certainly been the villain in other dramas aka Mr Sunshine. Yes, perceived trauma or shock resulting from the perceived trauma they are experiencing can kill a person.
