Elfos da Limpeza (2021)

Okay to miss.

I may be a lil late to the party but this is one show where i'm more interested in the supporting characters' development than the mains'.

The plot may not be bad but certain aspects of mysophobia didn't seem to match up (maybe I didn't do research or there may be different possibilities, anyhow). It was weird that the male lead would react so strongly in most situations but mildly in some areas — felt like they were more like continuity issues!

Additionally, the rapport between the male and female leads were really not there. It felt like the team did the female lead dirty. I know the portrayal of her role was meant for her to be slightly unkempt versus the male lead who is an absolute cleanliness "freak" but throughout the show, it was so hard to watch and find a balance (and comfortability) between the two.
Currently at episode 18, my verdict would be - you're not losing out much if you give this a miss! I've been watching this with many forward-skips so there we have it!

Leuke serie met veel leuke momenten,

Erg leuke serie, goed Chinees maar soms nog te snel voor mij. Leuke liedjes, zelf heb ik ook muziek gestudeerd. Vooral de ongelukjes zijn erg leuk gebracht... alles hangt stil in de lucht en de camera laat het van alle kanten zien, echt gaaf! Dit is ook in Meteor Garden bij Shen Yue. Ik kan bijj niet wachten op de laatste 2 afleveringen!
Sommige stukjes lijken op grappen uit "Inborn Pair". Ook daar is de moeder vermoord door de aanstaande schoonvader, maar die serie is al 10 jaar geleden. De story is dus iets minder vanwege de plagiaat. Het zou nog mooier zijn als er Chinees en Engels bij staat.

Lazy writer

Below review is my subjective personal opinion of my experience watching this drama, please don't get offended if you have different opinion.

For those who have not watch the drama, can give it a try first before deciding if you like it or not, as people taste are different. Things that didn't work for me might work for you.

Story
I waited for this drama to release for quite a long time just to get disappointed. I don't want to compare both C and K ver. So I was thinking to watch and judge this drama as its own, but the writer seems to expect you to watch the K ver. before the C ver. As there are so many things unexplained which you can find the explanation only in the K ver.
Such as, why the FL running away with a mask from her senior? From her conversation with her brother they often replace their father's work, it means she should be used to it but why she was running away that time? Turns out that the senior is the one she has crush on, but this point was not elaborated by the writer.
Another example is the FL father is against her working as cleaning service, but we don't know why and we even don't know he is against it if FL didn't say it.
For the 2nd ML as well, he just suddenly appear and have special feeling the FL, even meddle in her private life, we didn't understand his motive until much much later in the drama. Not to mention, he is such an unprofessional psychiatrist.

Mysophobia in this drama feels just like a convenient tool to drive the story, when needed it will act up. ML character is so inconsistent that I cannot determine whether he have mysophobia or just a person who likes cleanliness. He was okay when he accidentally swallow FL's sweat while he fainted when they accidentally kissed. *???*

The loveline was rushed in my opinion. ML just suddenly halucinates the FL in the mirror and missed her, wanted to approach her, and so on while their relationship should be still at the stage of being stranger who knows each other name. They did met several times and work in the same company, but still, there were no event or anything that develop their relationship to that of more than acquaintance. This really affect me on following the story. Even though the actor and actress have good chemistry, but the flow of the story really get in the way for me to enjoy their chemistry.

Acting
Both leads and supporting actors did an okay job I think, the acting was not awkward. It is just that the some of the characters quality and the story really is not my cup of tea.

Music
The OSTs are good and beautiful. I enjoy them very much.

Rewatch
I'm not considering to rewatch it at the mean time.

So Far, I love it

I started watching it on the 11th of May and for me, it's currently the 12th and I've just finished watching episode 10.
I started watching it because I love both main actors and only after watching the first episode i realized Yan An from pentagon(a K-pop boyband) is in ti AHHHHHHH
Jasper Liu and Shen Yue are two amazing actors and I love their on-screen chemistry.
the storyline is amazing I've never watched anything like it and that says a lot since 75% of my time goes into watching dramas.
Netflix only has 10 episodes so far so I'm patiently- not so patiently waiting for the other episodes to be aired

I recommend watching this if---- IF NOTHING
I recommend you watch the drama

I think its an okay drama! Shen Yue does great as always and Jasper Liu is really handsome. I think the concept of mysophobia makes for an interesting plot (even though there really isn’t much of a plot as the story goes on). Ngl I found the side couples incredibly boring so I usually skip their parts, which is a shame bc I really like Charles Lin’s character.

To comment on where I’m up to, I feel like I’ve reached a weird part where the directors took every chance to zoom in on Shen Yue’s toes. It’s unsettling. Also the toothbrush scene… idk about that one. Finally, I want to express how much I hate the character Lu Xian. How is this man a therapist?? He needs his liscence removed fr fr. I’m like halfway through the drama but I have absolutely no idea how the story is going to continue from here. I guess we’ll see how it goes.

i'm currently watching this, and i didn't know its a remake from korean webtoon. i haven't watch the korean one too.
when i surving on netflix i found this drama, and decide to watch it bcz of the cast Shen Yue and Jasper Liu.
i've knows shen yue since meteor garden (eventho i'm not watching this drama), but i seen her acting in A love so beautiful.
for jasper, i know him because his show with lee seung gi.

i'm enjoying this. for me its just like any other classic romance comedy, with rich man/ poor woman trope.
until episode 14, i haven't see any big drama yet, well i hope there is not.

i like the main couple, they look good together, the second couple too. but i don't really like the third couple, maybe bcz the male action kinda annoy me lmao

their acting is good, and i like their make up though. so natural like.
like wang qian's make up is light, eventho she is a program host.

Peor de lo que esperaba

Empecé a vela por que Shen yue que me encanta, es muy buena actriz y natural, pero la historia es muy aburrida
Se que es una comedia romántica y la mayoría usan los clichés de siempre pero en esta historia no pasaba nada

La edición de la serie me parece bastante mala, pasaban de una escena a otra muy rápido
Lo bueno que los protagonista tienen una relación muy bonita( sin ser ´toxica) y se ven lindos juntos
Quizás te guste si tienes de 13 a 19 años y eres muy fan de alguno de los protagonistas ,pero esta historia no es para mí, la verdad.

Me gustaría terminar de verla para actualizar esta reseña también quiero ver la versión coreana para compararlas.

Sinceramente no la recomiendo a no ser que seas un gran fan de los protagonistas.

Had potential, but the second lead ruined it for me

I absolutely loved the leads, their chemistry and their bickering. I was laughing a lot and smiling while watching, could have been in my top 10. I was also invested in the 2 side couples and I wanted to see the leads dating era so bad.

But please, this drama has one of these insufferable and annoying second lead. The fact that it’s part of the main plot and that he is almost there from beginning to end, I just can’t stand this. I’m so disappointed, I was loving this drama. When FL started to work at ML’s place and living there with him : when he showed up at his appartement and said that he would live there too with them, I was done with this drama. He was such a leach, always going to her family’s house, getting into her business. She never had any romantic feelings towards him, bro was too delusional to accept it and back off. She was obviously liking ML, he knew that. That guy was also such an unprofessional and bad therapist in my opinion. My hate for love triangle is high these days ahah sometimes it makes me drop dramas

I also think there is a breakup and a time jump, kinda annoying. From what I saw they get back together almost at the end of the drama. I don’t like break up for stupid thing.

I don’t know if I will finish it someday, maybe I will and fast forward.

Currently at episode 12 and i find the second ML very intrusive, controlling and annoying. His character doesn't serve much purpose. Half way through the show and progress is slow with the main couple, a lot if back and forth of "does he doesn't he/does she doesn't she", although it isn't overly annoying and still has cuteness to it. Throughout the show they have had moments that feels as if they're getting somewhere, there's no annoying or out of the way series of events that has caused any major misunderstandings. Although if they spoke up more to each other they would have a better understanding. Side couples are also following the same trope but they are also very entertaining and cute. Their progression is a little less slow than the main couple and I'm chalking that up to lack of annoying third party. My only problem is the second ML. Will edit as I go along

Compared to the Korean version

It's great I mean is the same trope of the FL family member death caused by ML's a little overused in a drama, yes but I still watch cause that's just one small thing. But I will say compared to the first I do like the story, the fluffers the way it's told better than the Korean version. I think they chemistry is more authentic and honestly the ML visuals is a lot more pleasing to the eyes than the Korean version, imo. I seen the FL in one other drama and I do say she's a good actress the chemistry between her in the ML is adorable, sweet, and they do make a cute and believable couple. Now granted I'm writing this only 11 episodes in but that's because there's one character that gets under my. Daniel Lu (sorry if I misspelled the last name). Unlike in the Korean version, Daniel was there but he was kind, respectful and despite his feelings for her, he respects her wishes. This Daniel gives me predator vibes. He pushes himself onto the FL and makes her constantly apologize as if he's apart of the family naturally when she just used him as a decoy to get off of her father's back. Now he wants to bombard and stay as if he's her boyfriend trying to protect her from another man because he has some serious jealousy issues that he (ironically with him being one) needs to work out with a therapist. He's disgusting I don't like him and I've never disliked a second ML. He doesn't know boundaries and that's disgusting because now she's made to feel guilty and it's not her fault because her father is one person she should've told but he's no one. just a neighbor. It's really disgusting. I can understand making the character a bit different from the original, but a predator type is NOT where I thought it was going.

Drama Remake based on K-Drama

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Overall, it is quite similar to the K-drama, Clean with Passion for Now with some characters personalities in this C-drama. You might watch the K-drama to compare to see if you agree with my review. This C-drama's main casts acting skills are above acceptable. Not a bad kind of drama remake. I guess you won't get sick in watching both of these 2 dramas. You should then compare the differences in a way of some twists.
