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.

Short and sweet!
Maybe a bit too short? I think so.Overall, this is a fantastic with well-written characters and important message, BUT I have to say, I didn't like what they did with the main plot. They didn't do anything with Geu Roo's parents till the finale, basically, not to mention the story about his uncle and his problems with those people.
This drama really needs a second season! Multiple plot lines are still open.
If they focused more on the main characters and not on the so called "weekly cases", this show could've been perfect.
Also, that ending was totally unnecessary, especially if we won't get a second season! Makes no sense whatsoever! Maybe t hey wanted to use her to start thinking about love, but if there's not gonna be another season, it's just a bad ending in my opinion. Without that scene, and even without a sequel, it would be a good ending.
Anyway, this is a MUST-WATCH, because this is a really strong drama with a few minor problems!

masterpiece
This show is just absolutely spectacular! From the overall plot consisting of the main characters as well as the side plots that are different each episode it was just AMAZING. There is so much depth in this show and so many life lessons, It will have you crying in every single episode. The acting was also just superb! This drama is truly a must watch, I can even go as far as saying that it's a drama that deserves to be watched twice. No matter how many times you watch it, it's still as overwhelming and emotional as the first time.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

Beautiful
Oh boy, this was an absolute tear-jerker, especially in the last few episodes. The relationship between Geu-ru and his dad was heart-warming already, but it’s given such a perfect arc as we see Geu-ru coming to terms with his grief while he and Sang-gu get closer.There are parts of this show that really surprised me with how deep it got, and even plot developments that weren’t necessarily new still managed to hit the right emotional beats.
I did enjoy the “case of the week” style and I enjoyed pretty much every single story, but I definitely don’t think any of them were extremely hard-hitting emotionally. Still, the parallels between them and the A-plot was really strong, and if I’m being honest I’d totally watch a sitcom type of show where they just do this every week for the rest of my life. The dynamic of the main trio — Sang-gu/Geu-ru/Na-mu is just THAT good.

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.Was this review helpful to you?

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 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.
