Masterpiece focusing on many social problems, very insightful
Move to heaven is a 10 episode drama its shorter than most dramas but the impact cannot be compared to other dramas.
This drama is one of the few that I actually binge watched, I finished in less than 2 days, which is very fast for me. I watched it all the time except the time I was eating or sleeping.
First of all the topic of the drama itself puts it in another level compared to other dramas. Death, a taboo topic not brought up in everyday conversations. Death can happen alike to the young and old though more to the old, this drama covers both, extensively. Death due to old age, illness, accidents, murder etc. Are all covered.
This show depicts a autistic teenager and his father who help cleaning up after the death of a person. They clear up thier belongings and try to understand the life of the deceased by observing. Learning stories through the objects they left behind and helping the ones left behind to move on while understanding the feelings of the deceased.
Autism is very well depicted and acted out. All the actors did exceptional jobs at portraying their characters too.
The storyline is written so well the writer definitely has earned a new fan. The stories are all complex, including many layers that are unearthed slowly. It doesn't just look at death but many other social problems like adoption by foreigners of koreans, the question of right to die, old age problems, homosexuality, toxic relationships to name a few. These problems especially the problem of old age is something I hold close to my heart, so I felt this deep in my heart. Such a huge spectrum of problems covered in a drama is rare, but move to heaven did it, not just did it, they did it exceptionally well and also brought in tears to your eyes every few episodes.
The show also showed the life of the main characters, I really enjoyed the backstory which was naturally brought in by the writer and also loved the way the relationship of the uncle and the nephew developed in time.
The nephew's character is actually the best character, he's so caring and kind in his own way I always feel empathetic and attached to him.
The lack of osts is the only flaw I can find in this masterpiece, but it really didn't matter because I didn't even realise until I searched for osts and found classical music instead, which only introduced more music, so I'm not mad.
This is a drama I recommend everyone to watch, it'll change your life.
