Itâll make you cry⊠if you survive the pacing first
"Trauma-cleaning? Deep stories. But pacing? Moves slower than grief." đ§čđ
A Deep, Poetic Drama That Unpacks Grief Beautifully⊠One Slow, Slow Box at a Time
âš THE GOOD:
Unique concept â Trauma cleaners telling stories of the dead? Genius. Morbid, moving, and sometimes surprisingly healing.
Geu-ru is unforgettable â Tang Jun-sangâs performance is subtle brilliance. His neurodivergence isnât exploitedâitâs respected.
Emotion hits hard â Some episodes are mini masterpieces of pain and humanity. Youâll ugly cry⊠in slow motion.
Cinematography = art â Every frame looks curated for a galleryâseriously, even the trash bags are symbolic.
đ THE âARE WE STILL ON THIS SCENE?â MOMENTS:
Pacing? A funeral march. Literally. The plot moves slower than grief counseling.
Subplots go MIA â The uncleâs backstory, certain side arcsâthey show up, then disappear like socks in the dryer.
Cliffhanger ending â Feels like the show got canceled during the credits. Closure? Never met her.
đ THE âPAIN IS THE POINTâ FACTOR:
Yes, itâs slowâbut if you stick around, it hurts right.
Every episode is a eulogy. Some feel like poetry. Others feel like someone sobbing into your ramen.
Emotional value = high. Rewatch value = maybe after a breakup.
đŻ VERDICT:
"Like watching grief through a stained-glass windowâstunning, soul-crushing, but you might fall asleep halfway."
Watch if: You love slow-burning sadness, poetic drama, and anthology storytelling with heart.
Skip if: You need momentum, payoff, or donât want to spend 16 hours feeling like a soggy tissue.
Best paired with: đ§» A bucket of tissues, patience of a monk, and a playlist to wake you up between episodes.
