What is Move to Heaven about?
Move to Heaven is a South Korean television series.
It follows young man Geu-Ru, who has Asperger’s syndrome and works with his father Jeong-u, who runs a trauma cleaning company for the deceased.
The job of a trauma cleaner is to arrange items left by deceased people – so as you can imagine, the series is both gritty and moving.
One day, Jeong-u dies, and Geu-Ru’s mysterious uncle Sang-Gu steps in to take his place.
Sang-Gu was a martial artist who has served a prison spell.
He becomes Geu-Ru’s guardian and the pair run the business together.
Cold-hearted Sang-Gu at first doesn’t understand his nephew’s devotion to the company, but soon learns to help him with his work.
The series is inspired by an essay “Things Left Behind” by Kim Sae-byul, who was a trauma cleaner himself.
Director Kim Sung-ho said he hopes the series carries a valuable message for viewers.
He said: “A lot of people are suffering amid the Covid-19 pandemic. If we can just take a moment to look around us, there are many things that need our attention,” he said.
“In the series, the cleaning cases involve unattended deaths and other social issues, which could be solved through better human connections and meeting people face-to-face. So I think that this series will provide a chance to reflect on our current reality.”
