The Clean Wife’s Secret Longing

About this drama

She has been married long enough to stop expecting anything from it. Her husband's obsessive fear of contamination governs the house: what can be touched, what must be thrown away, how close she is allowed to stand. What looks like care from the outside is a set of rules she cannot leave. Then she starts visiting a wellness centre, where she meets a man she assumes is a therapist, and he listens to her the way nobody has in years. Nothing happens between them. That is the problem. His compassion makes the rest of her life impossible to keep pretending about, and the choice in front of her is between a marriage that looks respectable and a future she cannot promise will work.
