So glad I found this drama
Honestly one of the best kdrama I've watched.It was so heartbreaking yet so beautiful at the same time. There's multiple stories that are told and they make you think a lot, it literally touch your heart.
I loved how we were able to see how much relationships are important in our life and how much death is unpredictable. I was really really attached to all the characters in this drama even the ones we saw only for 1 or 2 episodes. They were all so special and well written and every death had a really deep meaning behind it.
I think I'm not even ready to move on from this drama and now I'm going to think a lot about how precious my relationship with people I love is.

Heartwarming story about family and their hardships
Hmm.. where do i start...This show has 10 episodes and each episode has different story about each person that has moved to heaven (passed away). It also has a bigger main story that will unfold slowly. The epic one is in the last episode. It’s so heartwarming, i want to cry. This story taught me a lot to learn that we must stay grateful no matter how hard our life is because everyone has different history, we as people should try to communicate better, be more understanding, don’t assume anything until we clarify the fact tru communication. Don’t stay bitter and childish because everyone has their own reason to do something.
It’s not everyday that we get this kind of story. Not sure why the rating is not that high. This show is practically one of the top kdramas in my opinion.
Netflix original series kdramas never disappoints me.

I’m not good at writing reviews but I just want to say I loved this drama. It was a very simple in terms of storyline. There was nothing too dramatic that happened.I can’t speak on the portrayal of Asperger’s but I’m glad to see people with Asperger’s say that there was an accurate representation.
While I do agree with the reviews saying Geuru’s character wasn’t developed enough, I’m still giving this drama a high rating. I do wish we had gotten to know more about Geuru and even Namu. The “cop friend” was introduced just for us to barely see him. I don’t know if there’ll be a season 2 but if there is, I’m intrigued to see how Sanggu and the social worker’s story will progress.
Personally, I found the drama very sad and it made me cry almost every episode. Maybe I’m just soft lmao but I do think it was a tearjerker. I would say the rewatch potential is high because if you ever want to cry you might put it on. I don’t think it’s something you’d watch just to watch though.
The soundtrack wasn’t anything extremely special. But since I enjoy classical music from time to time I quite liked it.
Overall I enjoyed this. The actors did great. I hope Joonsang wins best new actor or something cuz he’s doing amazing!! I didn’t even realize Jehoon was in Time To Hunt. Either way the cast was great. It was nice to see some familiar faces. Hope y’all enjoy this the way I did :)) and if you’re an emotional person, don’t forget your tissues.

both heart-warming and heart-wrenching
the character development of sang gu might possibly be one of my favourite things to witness in a kdrama. i went from hate, to pity, to love. i don't think i've been so attached to a character before. i couldn't find myself hating any of the recurring cast, for any of their actions that irritated me briefly were completely justifiable (with the exception of na mu's mother- i understand her concern for her daughter but she was incredibly judgemental and close-minded). na mu's protectiveness of geu ru might be an example. it can appear that she was too judgemental of sang gu, but it makes sense seeing as geu ru is incredibly vulnerable and sang gu's initial plan was to indeed exploit his position as a guardian for financial security, and his occupation did indirectly put geu ru in harm's way.as for possibly the most important aspect, that being the portrayal of autism, i don't personally have the experience, but my brother sits on the spectrum. i'd say that, as far as i could tell, the traits of geu ru weren't too overstated...it addressed the issue of their pure intentions being perceived as malicious (eg. ep 1 where he follows the nurse to ask where she got the badge) and how many undermine or maybe even overestimate their intelligence, as well as difficulties accepting change, grief etc. as an autistic person. i really hope that more kdramas will give proper representation to autistic people that doesn't necessarily dominate the plot, but is just a feature of the protagonist.
the exploration of things that couldn't be said in words but could be shown in belongings is so intriguing and heartbreaking...i mean, i didn't expect to burst into tears when seeing shoe boxes or punching gloves, but here we are; however, not only are unwritten messages of love to the bereft sent by move to heaven, but so is justice (e.g. episodes 3-4). i did find the abusive boyfriend's acting to be a little bit too stereotypically villainous, like cackling when he was caught etc. though i understand that it was meant to demonstrate his ability to play the victim and switch.
if i absolutely had to make a criticism, i suppose that it would be the very end of the last episode, in which geu ru appears to be enchanted by a girl. there might not be any romantic connection, but the ambiguity of the scene mildly irked me. is she terminally ill? or is she planning to bring an end to her own life? what did the white butterfly symbolise? life? purity? surely, the connotations contrast what she is saying, unless her transition to heaven is symbolised in the butterfly. maybe this is a set-up for season 2 (?) if i was being optimistic.

Needs a season 2!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRAMA OF 2021!! I loved it with all my heart and now I need a second season or else I'll die for sure. The acting on point, chef's kiss. Lee Je Hoon hottie as always. And the storyline was amazing heartbreaking at moments.From like episode 6 until the end I just kept crying. It was non-stop. I felt bad for the uncle the whole time like poor thing suffered, but omg that I was glad that he became the official guardian it made my heart burst with happiness, hopefully, that girl from the fights will just go to jail cuz I already sense the bad coming. Na-mu was so cute of a friend also she a real one, even though she was a little dramatic in certain things but it was all in good intentions. And my boy Geu Ru was just the sweetest bean.

That series defines the meaning of a blessing in desguise
Geu- ru, portrayed by a magnificent Tang Joon -Sang, loses his (probably) everything, his father. He has asperger's syndrome, so he relied in his father for all Life up to that point. So here there Is his uncle that take on stage ! He Is not the best option, but here we are, when It seems to be like a mess, he becomes for Geu-ru his new family.Emotions are really difficult to understand, sometimes also for people without autism and the fact that the protagonist as to deal with It, makes the things more difficult. I can't describe how beautifully made Is this series, it heals my soul. This teaches me to not miss the boat and never give up! If you have an hard time, you have to rest yourself and if you have, like the protagonist, to let someone new in your Life, give them a chance. Maybe they will became your " a blessing in desguise" !

If You Like Sad Dramas, This One Is For You
This show wasn't as sad as I expected but it was extremely touching and meaningful. I hope we get a second season, it's a show that I feel could do good with another season. One of my favorite things is seeing multiple stories in something weather it's a book, movie, or tv show, they are always so nice to watch because if you don't like one storyline, you will probably enjoy one of the others. Some story's are sadder than others, there are ones about love, lose, and family so there is sure to be something you will enjoy.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
CRYING
I just finished moved to heaven and I'm crying so that I am with headache! in every episode I was crying, bawling my eyes outthis drama made me feel so happy and sad at the same time, it made me look at the world with another vision... how life can be so short, how we think that our life is bad but it actually isn't and how we need to do things today not tomorrow, not let things for the future
I would totally recommend to everyone that I know and I would rewatch every single episode again
And what can I say about the casting?! it's amazing 10/10!!

What a ride!
Honestly, I really didn't think I would love this drama at first. I just started watching as if I wouldn't finish it crying. This is the first time I am writing a review on here but not gonna lie, it is worth it.First of all, the concept of the show is wonderful. You can get all types of emotions while watching this. The stories of each defunct are all well-written and beautiful. I really was scared to watch this, I thought this would get me bored but it definitely didn't, I got stuck in my room watching 7 episodes in a row yesterday, I am not even kidding! This show got me addicted to the characters and their stories.
The acting. THE ACTING !!! I just realized how good of an actor Tang Jun Sang is, his acting was so touching I thought it was real. The character of Han Geu-ru was literally made for this actor, I cannot see someone else portray him. Jun Sang needs to get an award for this drama, I swear, every scene of his were well-done.
Overall, this is a sad drama but it helps you to learn a life-lesson. It helps you realize how important your social life can be and that, even if you die, someone will always remember you somewhere. This drama even has that slight of comedy, and I sincerely love that, from Na-Mu and Sang-Gu's fights to Na-Mu's parents, I laughed a lot. That's why I call this drama an emotion ride, you cry but you still laugh. Well, watch it, you will not regret it ! <3

You know the shows/movies where your eyes are glued to the set and you demand no interruptions? This one started off as such but then trails off a bit during the middle. The uniqueness of the plot is what really makes this one great but outside of it, it does still consist of the similar predictability you come across in many k-dramas. But also as with many k-dramas tropes, even while knowing the direction they're taking you in, you'll still give into the emotional roller-coaster.
In no way an expert in autism but the similar shortfalls found in the Good Doctor, was also evident here. While I love when anyone who is viewed as different in the world being celebrated for their differences and strengths, there feels to be a heavy hand in highlighting positives when convenient which causes inconsistencies through various scenarios. And maybe because it was only 10 episodes but the flow from switching focuses of your main characters didn't flow too naturally.
If you happen to be in emotional mood, prepare yourself with a tissue box. While it's not really as profound as it had the potential to have, it will still offer many viewers a good visualization of seeing things from a different perspective. It's worth the watch but hopefully they will follow up with a good continuation, particularly because of the ending where they tried to create some type of mystery but instead of creating anticipation, it felt out of place.
