Clean with Passion for Now () is a 2018 South Korean television series starring Yoon Kyun-sang, Kim Yoo-jung, and Song Jae-rim. It is based on the popular webtoon of the same title by Aengo, which was first published by KakaoPage in 2013, and was later published by Comico Korea in 2015. It aired on JTBC from November 26, 2018 to February 4, 2019, every Monday and Tuesday at 21:30 (KST).
Jang Seon-kyul (Yoon Kyun-sang), a wealthy man who suffers from severe mysophobia, is obsessed with cleaning and even owns his own cleaning company. One day, he meets a carefree and untidy girl named Gil Oh-sol (Kim Yoo-jung) after she enters his company as a new employee. Oh-sol has worked all sorts of part-time jobs while striving for a full-time one and does not have the luxury to date or clean. She gave up on being neat after facing the tough reality of the world and is known for always wearing her trademark tracksuit. With the help of Oh-sol, Seon-kyul overcomes mysophobia and falls in love with her.
The first script-reading occurred on January 30, 2018, at JTBC building in Sangam-dong.
The series was set to air in April 2018. However, on February 26, it was revealed that lead actress Kim Yoo-jung was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and would be focusing on treatment. It has since halted filming, with its broadcast having been delayed to the second half of that year.
On May 25, JTBC announced that the production would resume filming in August 2018 for a slated premiere in November. Ahn Hyo-seop, who was originally cast in the lead role of Jang Seon-kyul, withdrew from the drama due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Yoon Kyun-sang.
Filming resumed on September 5.
In 2018, iQiyi announced a Chinese adaptation of the drama titled Cleaning Elfs. It was released on Netflix under the title Use For My Talent in 2021.
