Move to Heaven

Please, please, please give Move To Heaven a chance. It is most definitely my top favorite K-drama of 2021. The cast simply did a fantastic job playing their respective roles and told the overall plot/story so beautifully. Loved how every episode had a different tale of the deceased talked about. I cried a ton so have tissues near and handy. Tang Joon Sang is not on the spectrum and is much younger in real life but embodied Geu Ru so well. As someone who is autistic, he played the role of someone who truly had this disability very realistically. Also, just because someone has a disability does not mean they can't do things. Anyone is capable of anything they want to do when one simply has the goal and motivation to. After this drama, he is going to get bigger roles because of taking the chance with this one. I'm looking forward to his next role. Lee Jee Hoon is so very TALENTED and I highly recommend you watch his recently aired drama Taxi Driver because that's where I first discovered him and was swooned by his acting! Anyways, please watch this drama because you will not regret it!!

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!

A tender and deeply moving series with a terrific cast, director, and writer. One of SK's best.

I was taken with this series from episode one. It was clear that the part of Han Geu-ru was not an easy one to play but Tang Joon-Sang does admirably. Korean dramas are quite fond of leading characters on the autism spectrum: The Good Doctor, Alice (Joo Won in both cases) and now this. No love story here to speak of for a nice change but a series of stories created by a former trauma cleaner. There is a sub plot but the main thrust of each story is the cleanup following traumatic death and those that do it. Each vignette has quite the powerful message conveyed through the fearsome logic of a 20 year-old Man born with Asbergers Syndrome. Get-ru's uncle moves in as his guardian following the death of the father. Together they run Move To Heaven and each story follows a traumatic death. On a personal note episode 5 following a rare gay love story for Korea had me in floods of tears, but all episodes are quite affecting.

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.
