Definite Must Watch!!
First off, hats off to the producers, writers, crew & actors of this show!!! I definitely hundred percent enjoyed myself while watching this( finished it in 2 days cause it was this good).Firstly Geu-Ru's character was portrayed perfectly and so well that you'd think the actor himself is someone familiar with Asperger's syndrome. As someone who has a cousin that's on the autistic scale and has similar traits that Geu-Ru portrayed it felt so heartwarming to see that the time and research had gone into being able to capture the essence of what it's like for people who love with it.
At the beginning when his uncle came to be his guardian, I was pissed at how inconsiderate he was towards Geu-Ru, but as time goes on I loved how he slowly warmed up to him and became even more fond of him. Also the relationship between his older brother and him, even though he'd died, towards ep 7-9 you saw how he got the closure he needed. Loving all his life thinking his brother abandoned him when in reality he got hurt the day he was to come and had been looking for him since. That struck a chord with me.
Next of Na-Mu. She was one heck of a friend. It's not a lot of people who'd willingly make that extra effort and time to befriend people like Geu-Ru. And the fact she liked him and had the patience to still stick by his side and watch out for him, showed how much she cared deeply and would protect him.
MY only dislike is the ending. Netflix is notorious for those cliffhanger endings but I never expected it to happen with a show like this. Yes the ending was nice, but the way it closes off like the storyline can be continued. It never ended in a finalized way. Meaning there are opportunities for it to be continued. However I went online and looked to see if there's a season 2, or talks about a second season hopefully and there weren't any. Over all it's a great show

Brilliant
I came for Lee Je Hoon and stayed for Tang Jun Sang. what a revelation. they were both so incredible at portraying these deeply complex emotional characters. Their unconventional relationship turned out to be so beautiful and wholesome. the way their own backstories unfolded was just amazing. my heart was aching for both of them in different ways. it was funny, cute, and soulful. Watching them take care of the deceased’s belongings and finding out the stories thru the stuff they left behind was beyond touching. there wasn’t an episode where i didn’t cry. every character was so well written and acted and the cinematography is breathtaking. 10/10 recommend. I will probably rewatch it again soonVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Simply Lovely
As someone who hadn't watched the trailer before the release and wasn't too sure of the concept when reading the synopsis, Move to Heaven is one of the greatest surprises I have ever had. The story was simply a masterpiece, thought-provoking and makes you really think about life - which I love to think about. I also love the different characters, and how they are with one another. The acting was great, apart from a couple of scenes, but nothing major here. The OST wasn't too noticeable but instead I felt was used very appropriately to hype up suspense or mystery (another great choice here). The re-watch value is high due to the fact that there are only 10 episodes, which some only lasting about 45 minutes (but only feel like 20 minutes or so!).I highly suggest that you watch Move to Heaven. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did.

Each episode moves you closer to heaven
The series let's us explore life through the eyes of dying/dead people, who are unable to tell lies. We get to see the facts, and if you wish to do so, you get uplifted. The leitmotiv is thus very different from a rom-com (there are hints throughout, but little development, leaving it to the viewer to hope for more, again uplifting you), or a standard drama.Though there is no direct reference to it, this series is akin to Dante's Purgatory, the second part of his masterpiece, the Divine Comedy. A soul having seen the worst in hell, is now climbing to heaven amidst other climbers, until he is "puro e disposto a salire alle stelle", in such a state that he can reach to enter heaven.

A real MASTERPIECE !
Storytelling, scenario, acting, direction and... were literally high quality and excellent.With each episode that passed, the development of the characters, their relationships and the main story was formed more and better to audience.
The story of each cases was special and unique, the story was narrated as if we have known and lived with Guru, his father, uncle and Namu for years. I found a very beautiful and special view of people's death and their afterlife.
I literally cried every episode and I dont regret it, it all worth watching this gem.
This series is full of emotions for who can understand the main purpose of the series.
One of the most valuable series in my life really.

Breath Catching Stories
This drama is insanely beautiful. I think everyone can relate to the stories you hear about in this drama.The acting is realistic, the story made me cry from sadness to happiness. This is just a drama about life and even if you have some unrealistic death stories on it, everyone can relate to this moment you lost someone you love and you are looking for answers or memories in their clothes or in their other stuff.
In my point of view, if I cry for a drama tv show, then that's means, it's a good one.

Will make you cry
This was one of those shows where I cried in basically every episode - especially in the beginning where the overarching plot didn't take so much of the run time, the individual stories this show tells are so touching, and there are scenes in every episode that I cannot get out of my head!What docks a point out from story for me is the ending, I would have much preferred a complete story rather than such an obvious lead up to a potential next season (I do not know if one is in the works?) and the events with the uncle were a bit over the top.
I can't praise the acting enough, everyone felt so real and you totally get sucked into whatever emotions they are portraying. Rewatch value is 10/10 for me, I have watched this show twice now and could easily go for a third round, espically of my favourite episodes.

This drama is type which explodes your head at end eps
nice short drama just 10 eps.very nice drama which at start at least in mine opinion doesnt really excel in anything, but it will all change in later eps. Later episodes are ones which shows you that all normal eps stories from before was all connected in way which made whole drama change its color.
This drama got 3 main protagonists which are worthy of notice:
1 ML - young man with asperger syndrome - he plays it very well maybe cause I seen already Extraordinary Attorney Woo and It's Okay to Not Be Okay. I wasnt really impressed by his playing, but I still feel its at about same level as leads from both dramas I mentioned.
2 ML - my favorite character of this drama - uncle with bad past which gets guardianship for 1 ML.
Almost through whole drama I felt this story is more about him than about 1 ML. Last few eps changed this view a little.
1 FL - childhood female friend of 1 ML which very cares about 1 ML. Always though its some kind of romance connection to 1 ML. Whole character looked to be more like annoying nasty mother hen trying to protect her chicken. Again this view change little by end.
plot - 1ML with autism works with his dad in cleaning company which cleans after deceased people. Dad dies cause sickness and thanks his will 2ML becomes guardian for 1ML. Whole drama goes around stories of deceased and stories within both ML past.
genre - life stories

A lovely and surprisingly heartwarming story
Two outstanding dramas in one season are more than I would have expected, but following on the heels of Navillera, we have Move to Heaven, an Unexpectedly charming and moving story of an autistic boy and his uncle. After watching Lee Je-hoon in Taxi Driver, I was pretty past my limit for violence and revenge, and if I had realized that he's playing the uncle, I would not have watch this. I"m so glad I was ignorant - he proved to be an actor of excellent range and made the transition from ex-convict to caring man elegantly and subtly. All of the cast was terrific. The writing was well paced, as was the direction. You'll shed a tear or two, and the stories nested within the main story elaborate the plot and the feelings. This is well worth watching.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Good Enough
Korean Drama "Move To Heaven" is an emotional drama with lots of shades of sadness, happiness and a big dose of closure.The story starts with a tragedy right off, an event that triggers the rest of the action which mostly hides behind short per episode cases of death and how the main characters help those who had lost someone to move on. Those short stories were different from one another and covered a lot of topics, from parent love to lost lovers. They were beautifully portrayed and fitted in the main story axis well.
As for the main characters' mystery, that unfolded slowly but steadily, being boosted by the smooth pace and the intense background stories. The performances were spot on, simple but emotional, and, overall, enjoyable. The few characters were a good choice also.
So, 9.5 out of 10.

Tear jerker
What can i say? I enjoyed this watch so much.It's the type of tv show that touches your heart.
There wasn't an episode that i didn't feel for the deceased, man. I cried a ton because albeit the lack of display of emotions from Geu Ru, his honesty and the his goal to give that yellow box to the family/lover of the deceased got to me. He really didn't stop at anything. He wanted to make sure that he delivers tje message of the deceased to the person that needs to hear it.
I don't really know anything about asperger's so i wouldn't know if he did good in portraying that but on it's own Jun Sang really did an amazing job. His actions (mainly the way that he moved about and his eye contact) the way that he delivered his lines didn't seem awkward at all to the point that i felt for the character each time.
I'm so happy they tailored a character that would fully understand Geu Ru (no judgement and all). Can i just say that I loved Na Mu's character? She understood Geu Ru w/o him having the need to explain anything and to me that is something so beautiful.
As always, an amazing job from both Ji Jin Hee and Lee Je Hoon. These two are always so good and authentic w/ whatever role they portray. The twist to me was something that i did not expect!!!!! I just wish they didn't wait till the last two episodes to reveal that but anyway, they still did a beautiful job w/ it.

Incredible short drama which will make you laugh and cry
This has been a refreshing drama. It has a little bit of humor, meaningful and touching stories, outstanding character portrayal. I literally couldn't ask for more.As usual I love dramas with mini stories every episode while also creating a big picture for the drama overall. I love how the character developments are implemented and how the characters' stories are revealed one by one. There's a charm on the story wherein it's very simple yet it is also very deep.
The main leads' chemistry is very good. I love how their characters help each other to be a better person. The actors indeed make their characters come to life. GeuRu is now added on my most memorable fictional character list.
The whole drama is also 10 episodes only which why I'm able to fit it on my busy schedule. I recommend this if you want to watch and unwind on a weekend. This drama will surely make you laugh and cry and relieve your stress away.
