The ML, Lee Jee Hoon has been part of recent successful dramas that show case his wide range of acting abilities. Tang Jun Sung is another promising actor to look out for as his excellent portrayal of a young man with Aspergers. The spunky neighbor girl was awesome as well. All side characters were likable and did justice to their roles.
A good watch but little bit hard emotionally if you have recently lost a loved one.

Here to help on your final move
This was a very enjoyable series, made me laugh, made me cry, made me happy and made me proud. A rollercoaster of emotions but all worth it in the end.The story was completely new to me, and I honestly wonder now if these trauma cleaners are a real profession. Their jobs being so interesting, I honestly wasn't expecting the death, I was expecting dead people, but I wasn't expecting the guy to die. Having the random jailbird get released and become a cleaner also was surprising, but his side hustle was awesome to watch.
The BFF from next door, the new addition to the family, it was an amazing dynamic for all the characters. Main male leads were soooo fire in their roles and kept me wanting more.
A few of the deaths really hurt my heart, because Matthew deserved so much better, the doctor was at work and I swear people took so long to come to his aid. They really made me want to cry, the other deaths were just dead people.
They left a few lose ends but I still enjoyed it till the end.

Something different
I thoroughly enjoyed move to heaven. It had an eerie yet homely feel to it, if that makes sense. The main characters all have temperaments that would typically clash yet they became very close and eventually, unable to be without each other. The acting was amazing and the storylines each episode simply got more and more riveting. The one thing I liked the most about the drama was how every scene was meaningful as I can say that I never ever felt the urge to skip. I also liked how a love interest was brought about for the older brother yet it wasn't pushed in our faces, it all felt just right.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Great little show
I'm used to dramas having at least 16 episodes so when I came to the last episode i was like wait what, this is it? I'm hoping for season 2.Anyway, the main actor is just so good at acting at this role, even his eyes are enough to show his character. Amazing cast, great music, great cinematic scenes and just overall good story, wish we could see more.
The character development of the uncle is my favourite thing here and I'm glad we got to see his past as well, I cried with him every time.
Reason why this isn't a 10 for me is mostly due to the fact that it was just short? I felt like there was something missing at the end and I don't like the cliffhanger.
(and no, I definitely didn't watch this because I saw Do Gi as cast)

How will I move on after this, I need more
After completing It's Okay to Not Be Okay, I wondered what kdrama I should try to watch next and luckily I decided to watch Move to Heaven. I didn't know what to expect, I just thought it'd be cool to be able to see my baby duckling from CLOY again and an interesting looking uncle. To my surprise this kdrama ended up being more than I expected.WARNING: YOU WILL CRY.
I don't know how much, it depends on your own emotions, but the first episode had me bawling despite myself putting two-and-two together pretty quickly. Like the father has to die for the uncle to come in. I just wasn't expected it to happen so soon, but with only 10 episodes ranging from less than an hour it makes sense.
To be honest the episode length is probably my only complaint with this series. I NEEDED MORE!!!
The themes of death for the old and young, dying with loved ones or without them, mourning the loss, etc. were really powerful and something to ponder over. Some of the plots with each trauma cleaning had me guessing what went down and getting them right right away. For example, the death of the doctor I immediately thought that the lover could be a male also.
The whole story line with Geu-ru's uncle's and father was interesting and tragic and I kind of wish we had more info on their childhood. The uncle, San-gu's character development was also rewarding to see as he got closer to Geu-ru and began to genuinely care.
I also want to say it was interesting seeing another character with autism spectrum disorder after seeing Sang Tae on It's Okay Not to Be Okay. I'm not an expert, nor am I autistic, but as someone watching it I found Geu-ru's character to be well done.
In addition cinematography and editing with visuals of Geu-ru demonstrating his memory and recalling stuff was very cool!
Well done for whoever thought to do that.
Again I am super sad it's only 10 eps and it's over, but I'm thankful I decided to watch it. I'll take the lessons I've learned from this drama with life and death and all that jazz. I also thank the kdrama for showing me another career people can have, I forgot that trauma cleaning is a thing.
Anyway go watch it now!!!

Bite-size story & likable characters
Most dramas lose themselves in trying to fit the mold with their run times and number of episodes. This is a great example of how dramas should be treated: length and run time that serves the story being told, not the other way around where the story, pacing and characters suffer drastically.Move to Heaven also stands out by what our protagonists do as trauma cleaners. It could be episodic if it chose to, but the drama is grounded with that recurring characters' relationships with each other and a glimpse on death and dealing with deaths. There have been a good number of moving moments, particularly on the last few episodes.

the relationship between everyone in this drama is so so precious & it shows the depth of how much someone could love you & how its not easy to let go. now that i think of it i have so much to say but the words are just Not forming.
the main characters are filled with regrets , grief & love and i love the closure they gave them.
every cast played their characters SOOOO good im very much impressed and would love to see more of them.

Simplesmente Fantástico
A temática principal é muito criativa e envolvente, Chorei do início ao fim e posso afirmar que é uma das melhores produções que eu já assisti. A Caminho do céu é de uma sensibilidade, que só os que apreciam um bom drama conseguirá enxergar a beleza deste roteiro. Ele fala sobre a morte, mas também sobre a vida, fala sobre amor, perdão e aborda a síndrome de Asperger no personagem central da história.O roteiro gira em torno de uma família, os “auxiliares de limpeza de trauma”, que recolhem e organizam os pertences do falecido, entregam para quem fica e ajudam tanto os vivos quanto os mortos em sua última mudança, rumo ao céu. A forma como o jovem e seu pai conduzem seu trabalho é de uma extrema sensibilidade, compaixão e respeito . A cada episódio uma história contada na limpeza de trauma.
Apesar de ser uma história que a temática causa estranhamento, a montagem das cenas da forma como o drama trata do luto, é muito emocionante. Ela não romantiza nem minimiza a dor da perda, pelo contrário, nos mostra a realidade de uma forma muito delicada e tocante. É como se pudéssemos sentir a dor dos personagens e, ao mesmo tempo, perceber que há sempre uma luz no fim do túnel.
Além de acompanharmos as histórias de pessoas que faleceram, os mistérios envolvendo cada caso envolvem quem está assistindo nos 10 episódios. O tempo passa em um piscar de olhos, e quando você ver já chegou ao final de mais um episódio.
A atuação de todos os atores principais é impecável. E destaco a participação especial do meu queridinho Lee Jae Wook que seja como principal ou convidado SEMPRE dá um show!
É lindo! Chorei, chorei muito e valeu cada lágrima! Simplesmente Fantástico!

A different story from Korean, coupled with the acting of all actors were also extraordinary is the main advantages of this series.
Another thing that I like of this series is they’re not “wordy” to extend the duration like we often found in other dramas (especially from South Korea).
And last... The classical music along the way added to the emotional side of this series so that I didn't realize made my tears fall down.
In Indonesian:
Serial korea pertama tahun ini yang berhasil membuatku menangis tersedu-sedu, setidaknya dalam satu episode.
Cerita yang berbeda dari drama korea lainnya, ditambah dengan akting para pemain yang juga luar biasa menjadi kelebihan utama dalam series ini.
Hal lain yang saya suka adalah, series ini tidak bertele-tele hanya untuk memperpanjang durasi layaknya yang sering kita temukan pada drama lainnya (especially from south korea).
Alunan musik klasik sepanjang perjalanan menambah sisi emosional series ini hingga tak sadar membuat airmata saya turun dengan sendirinya.

This drama teach us every life has meaningful value especially for our parents, never abondan them, since all gonna be parents. Please taking no regrats with someone whose sincerly care to you, someone good for you.
Lesson learn, nobody is perfect but please be good for them

A real class act from fine young actors!
Prepare your kleenex for this one. A beautiful story about beautiful souls. Move To Heaven is a 10-episodes drama, not your typical drama. If you don’t have time to spare, this is a good option.Death is unavoidable. We are familiar with various grieving stories. We see plenty of forensic drama. We have more than enough drama involving death but there are not many dramas that could tell a story about death like Move to Heaven. I don’t even know that this service exists!
Remember this phrase “hurt people hurt people”. Thus, only loved people are able to love others even if their love language is not a common one like our protagonist in this movie. Han Geu Ru is loved by his father despite his condition and therefore he has been living in a secured bubble full of love. This movie is about how that love allows him to overcome the challenges in daily life and in particular his struggle to accept his uncle. This is about what family means to you.
The one that left the biggest impression is the acting of the casts. I watched this in parallel with Taxi Driver. Basically, I saw Lee Je Hoon playing two characters at the same time and I am in awe of his acting. He is handsome (don’t even start) but that’s not why I was charmed throughout this series. It’s the way he expressed Cho Sang Gu, a person that kept a bitter memory for so long that he doesn’t believe in happiness. I enjoy his acting throughout the episodes.
The production paired LJH with Tang Jun Sang who played Han Geu Ru in immaculate way. The interaction between these two are beautiful. I saw Tan Jung Sang in Crash Landing on You and Racket Boys. For sure, TJS will go places. He still has a long way to go in his career and is already able to convey subtle emotions. I heard he couldn’t watch Move to Heaven because of the rating.
If you are big fans of classical music, you will be pleased with Move to Heaven just like me.
I suggest you watch it if you want to have a good cry and appreciate good acting. Well, LJH is a nice bonus :-)
Watch: June 2021
