First Poster for Clean With Passion For Now Brings the Sudsy Sexy with Leads Yoon Kyun Sang and Kim Yoo Jung
As a lifelong shoujo manga fan the poster for upcoming K-drama Clean With Passion For Now totally hits my squee spot. It’s a carbon copy of a cover from one of the manhwa chapters but the leads Yoon Kyun Sang and Kim Yoo Jung are nailing it (selling it) in the exact way I crave for a live-action adaptation. Don’t just perfunctorily act out the story, bring it to life in a way that makes it a necessary watch rather than the original drawn story being better so there is no need for a live-action version. This is a really shoujo sexy poster, what with the bubbles, the insane height/size differential of the leads, and Kim Yoo Jung’s expression of sheer exhilarating happiness at getting a peck on the cheek from her man. I don’t even know how this scene came to pass from the narrative, all I know is that I need it NOW.
Kim Yoo Jung looks so good! I’m happy they waited for her 🙂
The new teaser is fun.
She looks good are you serious? She’s almost getting frisked by a 30 year old. This is the most miscast drama and she does not look convincing as a job seeker at all. Just a messy high school student or maybe middle school. She’s too young for this drama. What a mess.
Does she look ugly to you? lol She definitely looks good. The role from webtoon is a 19 year old girl which she perfectly is, so Im not sure what are you salting about. lol
Job seekers are meant to be beautiful? This is news! I agree that she doesn’t look the part for sure.
i watched the traileri didnt feel they match visually. nothing against any of them but this pairing make me uncomfortable
Me too! My first reaction seeing that poster was “cringe”. I have to get their real life ages outta my head!!!
Its such a terrible pairing. I can’t stop cringing at that poster.
It’s not even the age gap that bothers me. It’s the fact that she’s a teenager (19) and he’s a grown ass man (31). I don’t know if the source maternal requires that he be that much older than her, but this pairing creeps me out.
Actually Kim Yoojung is the one playing an older character. I think the female char is in her early twenties if she’s a job seeker. But if JTBC chose Yoojung as the female lead, then they should have picked a male lead closer to her age…
Yoo-jung is actually playing a character her age. Gil Oh-sol is fresh out of high school and seeking employment. It’s Yoon Kyun-sang who’s older than his character by 3 years.
People fresh out of high school look for jobs? More importantly people fresh out of high school get employed? What alternate universe does Korea live in? She has to be at least 22 to be eligible to work anywhere full time. She looks 15 as always.
@Blasphemy You do know that many people can’t afford to go to college straight out of high school, do you? Many high school graduates take minimum wage jobs to save up for college and/or help their families in the meantime. And since Yoo-jung’s character ends up as a cleaner, this is probably the same for her.
In my country, many call center companies accept high school graduates as full-time employees and depending on their performance can actually earn more than college graduates.
Webtoon age Oh Sol 20, Sun Kyul 29
I really love that they chose that cover for the poster. Just seeing it is already heart fluttering! I hope we get more teasers soon T.T Their appearance in the APAN awards gave me a hope that there’s a chemistry between the two no matter how others are saying about the age and visuals
I love the poster and I’m so excited for this one to start!
I also think everyone needs to just give the leads a chance. We have had similae pairings in the past that have worked.
I’m not excited for this at all
@larana Then don’t watch it. Many dramas out there, so yeah…
LOL cool
I’ll have to watch the drama to really decide about this pairing but I have to say, something’s off with the poster, my first thought is that it made me uncomfortable. They looked a bit more compatible in the teasers though. I’m just checking this out for Kim Yoojung and I hope it does well in ratings.
Ewww a 19 y. O with a 31 y. O ewwww. My baby sis is 19 and if a 31 y. O guy came to my sis like that I would have felt murderous. Who the heck casted them? Gross.
You seem to be looking for so some attention after no one replied to your post so here is some attention to you.
You seem to like it that your bias who is 19 (!) will make out with a 31 years old guy. I’m YKS’s age and my youngest sister is literally 19 and I could never ever ever ever imagine someone my age getting into relationship with a TEEN ager. It’s not like KYJ looks mature or her acting is at a level to be considered mature. Can’t be compared with Stacy Martin and Shia LaBeouf situation either because Stacy Martin is 8 years older than KYJ (and LaBeouf is same age as YKS) and Martin looked mature and her acting was natural too, not cutesy or aegyo that kdramas tend to make female leads do.
LOOOOOOOOOVE THE POSTER AND ITS VIBE!!! I’m super excited to watch this drama.
Also, why are people discussing the age difference like it’s the end of the world? They only have a 12 years difference, whereas Lee Byun Hun had a 20+ years difference with his last costar. If they’re good actors and have good chemistry while playing their roles, it’s all I care about it.
Pft!
It’s because KYJ is 19 and Kim Taeri is 28, smartypants. Don’t be deliberately obtuse.
Age does not matter as long as it delivers, am gonna LOVE it…
Bullshit. Say that to pedo when he hits on a 16 year old. Sicko! This is the most pedo poster ever.
Delulu fans are here to support their little baby girl bias making out with a 30 something. How open minded! So mature and not creepy at all.
Age gap is not a problem as long as both already an adult. But KYJ is only 19 still a teenager and then pair up with a full grown man. Im not age shaming here but they look father and daughter.
Yeah, 31 years old dude kissing a teen girl ewww gross. Why don’t they straight up pair KYJ next with Park Hae Il in Eungyo style?
Kim Yoo Jung is a grown woman not a little girl and she is an actress. She is playing a role. The character she is playing is 20 in the manhwa and she is 20 (Korean age). There is an age difference in the manhwa and there is an age difference in the drama. The casting makes total sense including why they cast someone who is so much taller than her when you look at the source material.
@OrangeyPants You maybe ok with YKS getting casted but it doesn’t erase the fact that he was miscast and that there are plenty of actors born after 1990 who are as tall and suits better with KYJ’s age. Now it looks like uncle and niece.
OrangePants she’s barely 19 like. Grown woman is the biggest overstatement she’s still a young teenager who looks much younger than her real age.
How can they look like father and daughter. Yoon Kyun Sang would’ve been 12 years old to become a father to Kim Yoo Jung.
Think before you post.
@Jasmin visually he looks like one. Your just blind too see because she’s your fave.
Love KYJ so excited for this when it starts. Not fussed about the male leads just happy that KYJ is on a roll again. Poster set up says it all. This drama is going to be.fun; fun; fun! Soap suds and all! I wonder if it will make me want to spring clean the house after watching?
I actually like the promos for this drama so far. They’re cute and warm and bubbly, which I sorely need after The Guest. Yoon Kyun-sang and Yoo-jung look especially cute in the second teaser so my worries about the chemistry have been allayed a bit.
Still, I wish the the production team casted someone born after 1990 for the role. I’m sure there are plenty of up and coming actors in the 26-29 range who could’ve been perfect for the role and still not be too old for Yoo-jung. After all, they once gambled on a young rookie like Ahn Hyo-seop. Oh well. Hopefully they don’t go overboard with the skinship.
The posters are cute, but yeah… the age difference bugs me a bit. I think YKS looks mature vs. other actors in his age range that have more of a baby face. But, who knows it could just be the way the poster is designed or photo shopped. On screen, they might look closer to age. I think KYJ is a talented actress among her generation, but in her last dramas, she got overshadowed by Castmates. Hopefully, in this one, she can really stand out.
The age difference doesn’t bug me, but the picture makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
Its looks so creepy! This whole drama reeks of creepiness! Gross!
YKS is miscast, in the manga drawing the male lead looks more handsome. The poster gives me vibes of the term ‘sugar daddy’.
I just wish YKS’s lips were pouting a bit, he literally is lip to face touch.
Which is such a contrast to KYJ expression which is almost orgasmic. Like what even?
This is such a miscast drama and looks god awful in all its teasers. Have KYJ boobs always been that big or is it outfits. It just makes this so much more uncomfortable. EWWW!
she always has big boobs
Are you seriously body-shaming her?
Words trending on CWPFN article
Age gap
I wish Ahn Hyo Seop na na na
Uncomfortable
It’s getting boring.. Just move on and find your own favorite dramas ?
High five!
Find something else to comment on. People are allowed to have opinions and express their opinions. Must be a foreign concept to you clearly. Don’t worry we will watch the drama and still criticize everything that is wrong with it. Get ready for it. More is coming.
Just like your name Haha you’re funny ? I know what I did, I know what everybody else did. You can dislike the drama all you want, it’s your own business. I can like it with all my heart no matter what you guys said about it. I can’t change your mind, and you can’t change my mind.
That’s exactly what I did right there, if you guys can give your opinion/critique in this article, why can’t I posting something? Don’t be selfish ?
And yeah, go on with your critique if you want to waste your time into something you dislike rather than focusing yourself for something you like.. It’s your life ?
I hope you did this to all other dramas of similar nature too @Haha. Can you share what are your thoughts on previous dramas with similar age gaps? As a supporter of this drama I’d like to hear your side.
Everyone has qualms about this pairing, but wow the amount of vitriol in the comments section of this article O_O
At first glance, the poster looked cute but then I started noticing that the poster is sexually suggestive and what makes it worse is that she looks like a high schooler and he looks like someone who is twice her age. The latest teaser looks cute though, and they individually are both good actors tho… but together they look mismatched… I wish they would make a different main poster instead of this. It looks wrong after thinking about it.
If the poster is this sexual…
Some people need to chill and watch something different.
If you don’t like it, go find a drama that you find interesting.
Kim K Boobs on a 18 year old. LOL. That photo edit needs to go.
How much weight did she put on during her break? She looks so chubby which just makes this pairing even more awkward.
You must be blind. She looks skinny/normal. It’s them looking like father/daughter that makes it uncomfortable lol
Wow… how interesting are the comments here? I see a problem in the poster – KYJ should close her legs more (the manhwa was not drawn with legs wide open. Gosh!!). And if her left arm can be positioned same as the manhwa, no one will see her boobs. Anyways I don’t like the poster, he looks stiff and she enjoys it too much which looks weird. LOL.
WOW A LOT OF SO HYUN FAN ARE HERE XD
hi, as a fan of YJ please stop mentioning KSH name here since she is not related to this article. I know there’s so much hate in this comments section but let’s not incorrectly accuse antis here as her fan.
HELLO THERE EVERYONE! I’LL GLADLY SHARE TO YOU SOME INFORMATION OF WHAT THIS DRAMA ABOUT BY JILLIA (FROM SOOMPI) SINCE MOST COMMENTERS HERE REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS DRAMA FOR REAL. IT’S SO SAD HOW YOU ALL MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY’LL MAKE OUT IN EVERY EPISODE OF THIS DRAMA. I’LL TYPE IT SINCE KOALA DOES NOT ALLOW COPY PASTING IN THE COMMENT (YES I’LL MAKE AN EFFORT).
“Some information about this drama:
It’s a romance. two people so different nobody would believe could fall in love will fall in love.
It’s considered a youthful drama about healing. About people who seems to live a happy life but carry a pain inside. Sun Kyul whose world is dominated by his fear of germs. Oh Sol who has forgotten about her real dream. And Choi Goon who is eccentric doctor who not only heals other people’s heart but also his own.
And even though the extent of the wound (inside) and the weight of worry differs, the pain is not so different.
And this drama is about family.
Sometimes life is filled with competition and obstacles, failing in getting a job and failing in love.
Two families will appear and while their pride may lead to them hurting each other, in the end their love is the same. And maybe those two families are not so different in the love they have for their children (Sun Kyul and Oh Sol).
This drama is about yout, love, and warm family.”
STOP INCORRECTLY ACCUSING SOMEONE OF PEDOPHILIA. YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH HATE IN YOUR HEARTS YOU EVEN ACCUSE US FANS OF PROMOTING PEDOPHILIA? I ALSO CAN’T BELIEVE SOME ARE BLAMING YJ FOR HAVING A BABY FACE AND BIG BOOBS (SHE’S PETITE SO OF COURSE HER BOOBS WILL STAND OUT AGAINST HER BODY). IT’S NOT LIKE THIS WILL HINDER HER FROM EFFECTIVELY ACTING HER CHARACTER.
OF COURSE I KNOW THIS WILL FALL INTO DEAF EARS BUT I JUST CAN’T ALLOW ALL THIS COMMENT SECTION (WELL IT SEEMS LIKE MOST OF THE COMMENT SECTION REGARDING YJ IN THIS SITE IS A FAVORITE PLACE OF ANTIS) TO BE FILLED WITH HATE COMMENTS.
They are both adults already and it’s a role! Would you feel the same if they are just 2 years older (21-33 years old) or 10 years older (29-41 years old)?
Did you feel the same in Prime Minister and I (20 years) or in Goblin (12 years)?
Wow a lot of Kim So Hyun fans are here. Lmao No matter how you bash it, you dont matter anyway. You only watch for free, complains, and do not even add to ratings. Lmao so self entitled international fans
The writer and/or owner of this site seems to love fan war! Allowing some who obviously only take every opportunity to speak ill or post malicious remarks on any actor/actress they dislike and to the extent of hate is just so irresponsible of the site owner!
Don’t pretend to feel bad when tragedies happen to certain celebrities but reflect if you are actually part of the root cause… and in most cases, it starts with cyber bullying!!
I’m looking forward to this drama. ^_^
Let’s anticipate and watch it happily!
\(^^,)/
You guys who are accusing Kim So Hyun fans for posting negative things here are nuts, stop jumping into conclusion. You guys are part of the reason why there are fan wars. Seriously where’s the proof that the negative commentators are her fans? And if they are, what proof do you have that they are doing this to attack this drama to make someone else look better? Idiots
People are raising genuine concerns about big age gaps and other things that would make a regular person feel awkward. So Don’t disregard someone concern as being anti-fan.
I’m calling the body shamers as the antis not everyone who posted a criticism here. It’s also obvious who are using the age gap issue as a fake concern to bring in the hate. There are ways to voice out their concern on this trend of former child actress pairing up with men in their 30s genuinely.
Yep agree! If they haven’t got anything valid to say they’ll go in with the age gap diff then focus on her physically. Then if that doesn’t hit a nerve it will be the ‘’pedo’ reference which we all know is the downlow scrapping of the barrel. It’s rock bottom can’t reinvent anything else disparaging to throw this way. Quite pathetic really. We’ve got their number and we can sit proud watching it all unfold!
KYJ fans have always been insecure about KSH so they keep blaming her whenever someone posts anything ‘negative’ about KYJ. KSH fans don’t give shit about other child actors since she’s already established herself as an adult actress and is always doing crazy number of projects every year. She’s a hardworker so her fans have no time to even look at other fandoms. Comments about the age gap or whatever have been circulating since the casting was announced and its KYJ own fans who started it because it wasn’t sensible.
Whut? Lol
couldnot agree more…i hope they are being more sensible..why always accused ksh fans as kyj anti fans? if you look around the ksh ig fanpage, they are hardly relate sohyun to yoojung in a bad way…i know this because i stalked sohyun everyday..but as for yoojung ig fanpage..i dont know how many fanpages that i have to block due to their hate comments on sohyun..i feel more ease when i don’t have to see the immature fanpages anymore so i can grow to love yj more. i hope they stop relate yj with haters because they just make that yj and haters are significant. and they should realize that yujung haters are not coming from one fandom only, but also from other different fandoms. love loves to love love..they should hold onto this. if they want yj to be more loved, stop relate her with haters..lol
KYJ fans the day is near when this drama drops so it’s exciting times for us! I’ve always been a huge fan of hers forever!
Cheeers!
Kim Yoo-jung is good to kiss anyone. Why is her boos are so big ? She is beautiful and her thigh is so sexy.
