Whew
I don't think ill ever be the same after this drama. Real tasteful, well crafted work of art. Probably the best thing to come out of Netflix in the last few years. Was not prepared for the breakdowns every episode. I will have to see my psychiatrist after this. No but really I haven't cried and laughed the next second just to bawl in my mother's lap the very next while watching a kdrama ever. This made me do that! So! Yeah! Don't know about the re-watch value maybe if I wanted to off myself I'd watch again. Anyways, i think every single person should watch this atleast once — if you can stomach it.Was this review helpful to you?
DO NOT forget the tissue box *writing this with red eyes*
Already watched a good amount of series and never wrote a review, but could not go without writing one for this one.First off, I'm being completely honest, did not expect to cry THAT much. :')
The story really catches you and doesn't let go. From the first episode to the last I could not drop this series until I finished it (it is 3 a.m. btw :') thank god it's Saturday). Every episode gives you a new story but at the same time all of them tell you the story of Geu Roo.
For sure the favorite thing was the development of the relationship between the uncle and the nephew.
I don't know if it was the stories that got me or what but I cried my eyes out in EVERY episode. Every story in this series has a meaning and somehow wrecks your heart. Not only does it give you a new perspective towards the people who passed away but it also kind of introduce you to autism and makes you understand people with autism better. Most importantly it remind you to be grateful for people around you, to not waste time, as well as to not hold grudges and remember that the perspective that you see things from it might be completely different from what the truth actually is.
I'm quite mad at myself since I had this series in my list for a long time but for some reason always pushed it away. DO NOT do that. This drama is worth every second. If I could I would love to watch it again without knowing the story.

The Final Move
What story would your possessions tell upon your passing?The characters in this drama attempt to answer this question in their jobs as trauma cleaners when they are hired to clean up a site after someone passes. Han Geu Roo unflinchingly like a detective gathers clues to answer those questions and helps bring some kind of closure to the deceased unresolved issues. Juxtaposed to some of the deceased lives and what they experienced while they were living, the cleaners treat each of the deceased possessions with care and compassion. The stories are heartbreaking, the team behind this drama deftly handle it delicately and with humanity. For some of the deceased, there's quite a bit of bitterness in their lives before their passing; the final moments of their lives were punctuated with loneliness and callous treatment by society. The drama was inspired by Kim Shae-byeol's essay Ddeonan Hooe Namgyeojin Geotdeul The Things Left Behind. It is a well written and acted thoughtful drama on what it means to be a family, friendships that goes beyond society's label of disabilities and difference, and a reflection on the worthiness of each person's life no matter where they fall on the social status ladder.

WOW!!!
I saw this pop up on my suggested to watch on Netflix and I passed it a couple of times because I was kind of iffy on if 1, I would like this, and 2, if my soul was ready for this! But I do not regret the decision to start it at all!!!You will be sad for almost every episode but the story itself is so beautiful! The business Move to Heaven itself would devastate me because of how much care was put into each situation. The stories that went with each situation were so heartwarming and wholesome! I can't recommend this more honestly! Just wow! The acting was amazing! I'd watch it again and again lol! Without saying too much this is all I can say!

"As long as you remember, they are not gone."
A raw, beautiful drama depicting the unfairness of life and how quickly death comes for all of us. Although having only 10 episodes, this drama was packed with emotion and plot; each episode had a different story that explored multiple perspectives of death. From the relationship of the two main characters to the inevitable presence of death, this short series is a painful reminder that life is horribly unfair sometimes. The people who deserve to be here a little longer are always the ones who go first.The concept of trauma cleaners appears as the guiding story in this drama, a term that isn't popularized or well-known in today's culture. This drama paints the hard parts of the job, from dealing with death and misery, and also why the job is necessary, letting the deceased have one last word. What I found especially enduring is the Move the Heaven yellow box. In a time of darkness, despair, and blackness, the yellow box symbolizes a release, a sign of hope and clarity.
Acting: The two main leads, Lee Je-hoon and Tang Joon-Sang, play their parts in a way that truly brings out their characters. Although the acting isn't wildly superb, the emotions spilled off the screen and landed in the viewer's hearts. If you're a fan of the "mortal enemies to forever brothers" or "I hate everyone but you" trope, this drama is a must-watch as both actors build their relationship through such a small period of time (need a season 2!).
This drama is so short, yet it made such a difference and changed my perspective on grieving. As long as you remember them, they will always stay with you. If you've recently lost someone you loved or are going through a tough time grappling with this unsettling concept, give this drama a watch. It's worth your time.

The reviews didn't disappoint me :)
I questioned myself about watching this drama about 10 times since it always came up on my fyp , finally I sat down and watched it .I never cry,but as I began watching this show I found the tears falling. their job was so precious , it really gave me another outlook on people that work in forensics.
Move to heaven gave a lot in its plot as well as the mental illness awareness .
They did a great job on displaying Asperger's.
Sang Gu did a great job . his character development was very heartwarming but also heartbreaking when he got to find out the truth of his brother . Definitely recommend for those who are looking for a drama that's not cliché and predictable.
A drama that's cinematography is top tier and truly beautiful . 10/10

must watch
What an emotional roller-coaster ride.This is the type of drama that will break your heart and make you question a lot about your surrounding but at the end will still manage to repair your heart all over again. Every character is very different from one another, which makes it fun and interesting to watch. It has a very simple story-line yet very beautifully delivered. You will get the chance to relate with some characters in one way or the other as it tries to show the reality of our society.
If you wanna escape from the trendy drama genre and wanna take a better look in understanding general people like oneself, then this drama will be the best to watch.
Note: Prepare your tissues tho.

A touching story to see
1st I would like to say that I have just finished watching this drama and I've really enjoyed it. The actors have portrayed the characters really well and made me feel some way. Storyline was really amazing. I could see that the uncle slowly had sympathy for his nephew and the relationship building up over time. I loved the neighbour friend who's willing to help out all the time. Near the end was the most sad parts for me. There was only 10 episodes but the story managed to get wrapped up nicely!!Was this review helpful to you?
Yejibros we cried a lot per episode.
Yejibros we have to admit that we cried like a kid after watching this one. Every episode is just a gut punch of emotions, if you haven't cried while watching at least one episode in this show I could say that you are a heartless human being or just an emotionless golem. Yejibros we think the relationships of the characters and the situations that it portrays are realistic, ranging from loneliness, self-harm and overwork which are all too common themes in the century that we live.Yejibros we will watch it again and we hope that there is a new season for this show.

Watch Move To Heaven :)
This is the first time ever I'm writing a review for a show, but I just needed to talk about the greatness that is this drama. Move to Heaven is THE definition of a show done right: the writing was excellent, the story was touching and captivating, the actors were incredible, the directing was magnificent, the editing and choice of music were so beautifully done, and i don't know what happened behind the scenes but I know the crew held it down and did what had to be done as well!Listening to people talk about it, or watching the trailer, you may get the idea that the show is only meant to make you cry. But let me tell you that no, Move to Heaven does so much more. Yes, you will definitely shed more tears than you expected (so if you're only planning a couple of tissues for a few tears here and there, reconsider and go for the whole box), however, you will also laugh, you will be upset, you will feel empathy, you will feel joy, and you will heal with the characters. All the emotions in the book will be felt throughout these 10, 50-minute long, episodes.
I don't want to give away so much that it would spoil the show, but watch Move to Heaven for the story it tells. Allow yourself to be so immersed into the story that you will heal with the characters. The topics addressed throughout the drama are pretty heavy, but you will see that they do it so well that you will find yourself wanting to see more, because you will want to explore your own feelings more.
I'm going to end this with a MAJOR shoutout to the actors. While everyone else contributed to making the story and finding a great way to relay it both visually and sonically, the actors brought out their A+ game to sell the story. Lee Je-hoon, Ji Jin-her, Hong Seung-hee, specifically Tang Joon-sang (and ALL the actors involved) did an excellent job. They made the story believable, and that is the best thing you can do for a show as an actor.
So once again, please watch Move to Heaven!

Need a good cry? A good cathartic show.
Several other great reviews to explain how phenomenal show is. So I'll cut to the chase.You will cry, some episodes more than others, some less than others. But at least once, you'll cry. Because this show emphasizes closure, you won'tusually leave an episode empty. Sometimes, you'll hope that certain situations were more fleshed out or a happier outcome, but like all things in life, it's acceptance of instances that are out of our hands. That's what this show gives: understanding that death is a normal part of life and that, though it's sad, people will carry the memory of the deceased and life must move on.
My only reason for the 9.0 rating instead of the 10.0 on the storyline was the ending. I know it was meant for a potential second season; however, this 10-ep series would've been enough. I feel like any overarching conflicts, aside from the ML's personal one with a certain deceased from the beginning, would stray from the theme of this series. However, everything else was fantastic.
Definitely will rewatch. Recommend it highly.
