"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.
