Move to Heaven

Netflix's Move to Heaven is an unexpected gem, one of the best dramas produced from South-Korea, told in a realistic and wonderful way, unique and very original Korean drama, and will truly appeal to a global audience.

Originality, sincerity and universal values are what makes Korean dramas produced by Netflix stand out compared to the regular Korean dramas which are still very catered to the local audience. From Kingdom, to Love Alarm, to Sweet Home and now Move to Heaven. All amazing pieces of art that are unique and very original.

The story centers around trauma cleaners, who are people who clean up and move stuff of the deceased. This explains the title of this drama: Move to Heaven. It is also the name of their company. In 10 episodes we see multiple story arcs evolving, including those of the main characters Han Geu-ru played amazingly by Tang Jun-sang and his uncle Cho Sang-gu. We see very relevant social themes being addressed by the trauma cleaners, all in a very sincere, realistic and emotional way. Keep your tissue box ready though!

A special shout-out to Tang Jun-sang for his epic performance and realistic portrayal of the Asperger syndrome and for connecting the different story lines. His character is smart, remembers everything, connects the dots, and speaks like a robot. It is something that viewers will not easily forget.

Han Geu-ru was told to tell himself every day in the mirror that he did an excellent job. I can only agree, and would like to extend this to the whole show. You did an excellent job!

As someone else commented , this is a class act production/acting & one of the best in Kdrama series.

This show is so unique, beautiful, touching, emotional, gentle, gut-wrenching and humanizing from beginning to the end. Episode 9, especially, really got to me and you know what I mean when you watch it and I hope that you do.

When Kdramas are good, they are really good better than many US/international shows out there and thankfully their TV series are not always full of violence, gore, sex scenes or bad language. The good ones are just all about true storytelling and always thought provoking.

I hope that there will be a 2nd season. This show deserves one.

This remind me of Midnight Diner, if the Master listened to his customer's stories. Move to Heaven try to listen what the deceased through their belongings and it is sooo beautiful. It's another level of family drama and it tells a story that a child with disability like asperger syndrome, can fit in in the society with the right cognitive taught and love. I loveeee this series and finished overnight, I need more stories like this. The acting, the set, the plot, the vibe all perfect💛✨

One of, if not the best kdrama I've watched. Wonderful writing, acting, directing, editing, cinematography, casting -- but most of all beautiful stories told and characters molded in little time (relatively shorter than most kdramas).

Shows the beauty, the good, and the love behind every person and will have us second-guessing and postponing our prejudice.

Wonderful use of Trauma Cleaning and Asperger's Syndrome as a plot.

Much of the storyline has been resolved by the end of the season so I'm not looking forward to a second but they have good foundations in characters and framework unlike most kdramas so I think there's potential.

South Korea has been known to make some incredible movies for many years. This is the "first" South Korean series I've ever watched (my wife and kids wanted to see it so I "had" to oblige).

Despite not being a choice I made, I was completely stunned by the level of quality this series offers: Top notch acting, incredible, touching stories and an incredible character arch development. I can easily say that when I watch quality stuff like this, I hardly miss the expensive special effects and over-the-topness of some "current" series, specially American produced ones. Not that it a bad thing, but it shows how a greatly written show can be made successful without showing budget muscle. Still, this ISN'T a low budget affair: the camera work is incredible, the shots, the cinematography, the music, the acting. Like most modern series, this looks more like a movie than a TV show.

No spoilers this time, you have to see, "Move To Heaven". Some might find it a bit corny... probably those looking for a more action oriented series, but the little action sequences here are incredibly filmed and will come as an unexpected surprise to some.

10 out of 10. Yeah, it is THAT good!
