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.

And if you want to see and listen to how Memories of Alhambra should be played on classical guitar here is a wonderful, flawless performance by Ana Vidovic: https://youtu.be/fwjX-m4LkYk

Ep 5 just flew by! Intriguing developments, a heartfelt heroine and the larger than life soon to be ex-wife. My favourite moment though: our hero and the younger sister.

Short but sweet and well worth your time!

Episode 10 was challenging!!!

I’m hanging in there because SYJ is just effortless in her portrayal and I like the brother who is the security guard and his growing relationship with Jin Yoo’s sister.

:-)

At the end of the day Love at First Hate had potential, but I found Dr Pup slightly odious (well a bit more than slightly). When he dialed it back, his relationship with Klauy shone through. Ploy as a character was a good baddie and her future better half played a good role. In a way, Klauy’s mum, who had a strong presence, really needed to be in a more dynamic story. So, overall it was light entertainment, with enjoyable moments, along with good support characters but a story that was a bit laboured.

Then I had a crazy thought that as viewers we might end up not knowing what is the real world and what is the game :-)
