Your House helper started really strong, but didn't pull through Minus: -Lack of chemistry for the main couple -Got boring halfway through -No surprises, no twists Possitives: -Slice of life theme -The second leads' romance was so strong that overpowered the whole drama -Interesting side stories -Good acting Overall, it was just good, with some sparks of solid slice of life drama and age of youth vibes.

Series started off with an interesting premise, and I've always liked Bona after watching 25-21. The series has many flaws, easily dissolved story points and terribly written characters.

The stories are very anticlimactic. Everything is easily resolved through implausible solutions leaving things feeling dull. Everything situation is very unrealistic to how things should happen in real life, almost like the writers are writing in a bubble where nothing bad happens. This left me very bored and stopped caring since everything will be fine anyways.

They had some interesting characters to start with but none of them really develop. They remain pretty much the same since beginning, except all living in cleaner houses.

Also, this whole man being a cleaner story plot kind of died a quarter way through. I didn't get the point of the friendly gangster, nor this living in a cafe nor his weird storyline with his past relationship.

Only reason I even managed to make it to the halfway point is because Bona has such an amazing.

If you're really bored, go watch 25-21. Only watch this if you really really enjoy plot holes and weird stories that makes no sense.

This isn't a superficial series like the title may suggest. It's surprisingly sensitive story about people with trauma of different types and the characters are quite quirky and unpredictable. The house helper helps people with more than just their home messes but the underlying traumas that these messy people have. The issues are serious but aren't treated in a heavy handed manner. The series gets more involving as things go along. The first episodes need some concentration to figure out the relationships but once that is done it's fine. This is a good role for the cast members including Ha Seok Jin and Bona who are generally likeable and watchable. Especially liked Lee Min Young as the manager. I wasn't bored at all during the 16 episodes because of the many characters there is quite a lot of story for each. Along the way it is fun to learn about cleaning and tidying and it's quite relatable since there are people I know who really are messy and need help. I think many will recognise messy people they know in this show.

I liked the first 6 episodes (until the last scene of the 6th). Interesting story, decent acting, nice humor. And then the cringe made its appearance.

The last scene of the 6th episode is ridiculous. And then the 3 women became stupid. It's like they changed the writer and director. I managed to watch 2 more episodes before giving up.

Having said (written) that, I know that many kdrama fans won't be bothered a lot by those things. But if you can't handle cringey kdramas, this is definitely not for you.

We really enjoyed this short series, and I picked up some excellent money-saving "green" cleaning tips, such as the use of citric acid powder for just about everything. (It's cheap, easy to store, and Amazon delivers.) A young woman needs to rentshare her house to avoid losing it, but as an intern in a big company she works all the hours God sends so there's no time to clean. Enter the House Helper, a young man with a troubled past who cleans houses and declutters people's lives. The girl finally ends up sharing with three previous classmates, and their lives are examined individually and collectively.

The writers deal with some serious issues: incest, loneliness, losses of many kinds, industrial harassment, especially lack of communication. Yet they manage to use a light touch--it's not heavy drama or cringe-making at any time. The person I watched it with wondered if they left the door open for a second season. We'll see, next year.

Oh, and by the way--heating flat beer in the microwave really does help in cleaning it, much more than the old water-and-vinegar formula I had been using, and it doesn't leave an unpleasant smell.
