A very unconventional description of death -- as it should be

It made me ponder a lot about the beauty and inevitability of death. You know how when the people you love died and you tend to search for their last remains. The last thing they touched. Their last message. What were the thoughts of people whom they have interacted with? You smell the fresh sheets and clothes they left. What kind of legacy did they have when they departed. This show perfectly describes that feeling. It defined death and the feeling of losing someone in such a beautiful way.

Apart from the aforementioned, on the technical things in this series, the one who played Geu-ru was phenomenal. It seems that he really studied his role for this as well as Sang-gu for being a slightly sluggish personality. It made me cry especially on the third and final episode. The OST was also well-picked EXCEPT on grieving parts about their client's death. However, Geu-ru's taste in classical music is still nice.

This drama may not be one of my most favorite but you will definitely learn a thing or two from it. Everything about Move to Heaven is wonderful and honest. I heard that this is rated as 19+ in Korea, but it's quite understandable since death remains a taboo in their country (or in any country, I guess). But again, that's the beauty of it, it tackles death in the most unconventional yet frank way of its nature.
