EMOTIONALLY RAW
Oh my gosh this drama is one of the sweetest most heartcrushing drama ever.I went into it once a while ago and immediatley dropped it, but I came back to it recently and I do not regret it. This story is so beautifully written, sparking such an emotional important conversation of grief. This story intertwines so beautifully with each episode and you can't help but to empathize with everyone on screen. It is simply a must watch if you wanna be in your feels and want something so raw and refreshing.

Have a safe trip
The story was new and touching.It introduced me to a job, a hard job but beautiful one.
And the evolution of the relationships as well as the characters (especially the uncle) moved me a lot.
I would for sure want to see more of it : how they will live now, what challenges will they face, will they love, will the cry, will they make people happy again and again.
I would definitly watch it again and recommend it.
Saying goodbye isn't easy as you will never know what that person wish might have been, this added peace to my mind and it shows how everybody still have something they wished to tell.

A Journey to Love!!
I don't even know why I was so reluctant to start this drama. Like, what was I even thinking?!This is a masterpiece, and it absolutely deserves its rating. It's my first time watching a drama about trauma cleaners, and it's such a compelling subject.
Dramas that delve into the stories behind deaths and evoke such deep emotions are truly amazing, and that's a fact.
Moreover, having Jun Sang portray an autistic character just made it even better. Watching him bond with his uncle and seeing Je Hoon grow fond of his nephew as they embark on an incredible journey is what I loved the most. I found myself rooting for them every step of the way.
I'm genuinely saddened that I put this gem on hold because of my slump. But I know that without that slump, this is the kind of drama you can't tear your eyes away from or stop watching.
Grab some tissues and brace yourself for a roller-coaster of emotions!!

Truly stands out from the rest!
What caught my attention is the trauma cleaning job. At 1st, I thought it's a "made-up" job, only to find out it's real. That fascinates me even moreThanks to this show, I get to learn about such a profound and meaningful job that's often overlooked. In this show, the trauma cleaners really did amazing job in uncovering the story of the deceased, and making sure any messages are passed on to loved ones.
What makes this show even more interesting is that the ML also happen to have Asperger, hence opening up a new dimension of learning for us to understand more about people with Asperger, how they behave and why they act a certain way.
Combination of Asperger + Trauma Cleaning makes thsi show stand out.
I cried so much in this show that I feel it helped me process and heal the grief that I had myself.
This is one of the best show Lee Jee Hoon is in as well. His character adds more flavor and excitement to this show too.
Overall, this has great storyline, execution, messages, lessons and acting! Highly recommended

Cried my Soul out
I really really hope for a season 2 and FAST!!I think yesterday was its 2 year anniversary which I can't believe its already been this long??? The hell are they doing waiting this long to give us another season????
Seriously though, this kdrama will tug at your heartstrings and make you weep like a child. I even got my mother to watch this and shes not the biggest fans of kdramas but she loved this one, that says a lot!
Not one episode will leave you bored, everything is just well paced and interesting- every character has their own story and its always so beautifully told and revealed. The scene where his father died tho...Goddamn. Cried my soul out, I feel like that also felt so unnecessary even though it lowkey was necessary for the plot but whatever!!! It sucked going through that, the dad was the sweetest :(((((

I FORGOT HOW MANY TIMES I CRIED ?
esta serie es ahora definitivamente una de mis favoritas de toda la vida, no solo por la increíble historia si no también por las increíbles actuaciones, tal vez yo no sepa de producción, ni de actuación, ni de todas las cosas técnicas como para asegurar que es un contenido excepcional, pero al menos como un simple espectador me dejo una marca gigantesca como otras muy pocas series, no encuentro ni palabras para explicar tantas emociones, tal vez la sentí muy personal, no lo sé, pero agradezco haberla encontrado y haber podido verla, me encantaría que Han Geu-Ru existiera en la vida real y poder pedirle su servicio para asegurar el respeto a todo lo que las personas que amamos dejan atrás cuando se van e igualmente para mi, sería un alivio saber que así será, lástima que no puedo controlar eso pero bueno es lo que hay..Was this review helpful to you?

Heartfelt Story
I love how this drama express to care and spend time with people around you while they are still alive and everyone deserve an opportunity.honestly change my perspective to have physical memories of the things that brings you joy or happiness.
Just want to appreciate the cast that acted on this drama being able to pull of the role of a autism role"Tang Jun-Sang" and Uncle "Lee Je-Hoon" for what a great character development, and lastly Na-mu "Hong Seung-Hee" made the drama lively and fun.

A drama I will remember for ever
I never wrote reviews before but I couldn't end this drama without saying anything about it. The cinematography, the music, the scenario, the characters, the acting, everything was amazing. I will definitely think about Move to Heaven for a long time.The character growth of Cho SangGu was amazing and the acting was absolutely incredible, he made me feel every emotion as little as it could be. Also I'm dehydrated for how much I cried, I don't think there was any episode where I haven't at least shed tears if not ugly cried. 10/10 in every possible way. I'm sad to leave Han GeuRu and his beautiful story.Was this review helpful to you?
“Moving & Heavenly”
I appreciate TV series that have an educational aspect because watching becomes dual purpose - I gain knowledge while being entertained. This drama centers around Asperger’s Syndrome and trauma cleaners. Two unconnected and unlikely topics but intertwined so fluidly into the storyline. I admire the screenwriter’s diligence in conducting in-depth research and then incorporating gathered facts into the script.The storyline is heavy on the heart because there is always a death scene and immense grief but the lessons and realizations about life and love are what always prevail in the end.
The lead character was realistically portrayed by Tang Joon Sang who I first encountered as a naive soldier in “Crash Landing On You”. His acting skills concretely delivered what the creators behind this drama series wished to convey. And, not to forget his impressive memorization skills - his lines were laden with tongue-twisting terminologies that only a genius can utter at lightning speed!
The only downside? It is merely 10 episodes so it’s going to leave you wanting for more...

Meaningful Masterpiece
I've finished this drama a few weeks ago and cannot stop thinking about it, that's how great it was, and i can only regret waiting so long to watch it.Since the start the authors were very attentive in representing the main character's autism, the research behind it is clear, and this leads to a realistic portrayal. The actor who plays the protagonist did an amazing job that I've rarely seen in a drama, a sensitivity to detail that leaves me speechless, and this is seen in the way he speaks, moves, acts and reacts to thing. The Asperger's syndrome is one of the main elements of the story, but it never becomes a dehumanizing, saturated or stereotyped representation, and is accompanied by other equally important, tear-jerking themes, such as grief, family and brotherhood.
I've never cried in every episode of a drama, and this one was able to make me do just that, both through sadness and emotion.
Another strong point of the drama is the interpersonal relationships that form between the characters, which are never superficial, starting from the one between father and son, the one between brothers, between uncle and nephew, or even just the friendships.
I would recommend this drama to anyone regardless of personal taste.

Impossible not to cry.
I found this show very touching, it made me cried so many times, I loved the characters and their stories, specially the uncle, I would 100% recommend this k-drama. It just made me think about how value is our loved ones and to live a good life.I definitely would like to have a season two because, maybe a lot of people agree with me, but I think just season 1 was so so good. If you want to watch something to cry, this is the one. You will not regret, even if you don't find it as good as I did.

Life through a trauma cleaner’s eyes
This drama takes us into the job of trauma cleaning. We are introduced to a father and son team whose job is to handle the final move of the deceased. The care and respect they give the dead is worth mentioning. In some cases, they were the only ones to extend such a courtesy. In spite of the somberness of the job, the father and son have a beautiful loving relationship. The son has Asperger’s so he has special abilities with memory and prefers to avoid physical contact and noise. Tang Jun Sang did an excellent job portraying this young man. Sang-Gu (the uncle) enters the scene when Jeong-u passes and there is a very different dynamic for Geu-ru. While some thought too much time was spent on the heart boxes, I think we had to walk with Sang-Gu through these histories of the deceased to have our hearts opened along with his to understand the stories left for us from departed ones if we have eyes to see what they are saying. It takes time for this to register and I think the writer and actors did an excellent job of presenting that. There are many powerful and emotional scenes that have you experiencing the stories with them. I would have liked a different ending for the evil manager and preferred a bit calmer version of Na-Mu and without her mom almost entirely. Their loudness was too big an opposite to Geu-ru’s quiet nature. But I can only praise this cast for helping us reflect on matters we overlook or opt to wait til later to address. It lets us see life through the dead and that is a very interesting perspective.Was this review helpful to you?
