Mudanzas al cielo (2021)

OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW

I don't usually write reviews so I'm not sure how helpful this will be but this was hands down one of the best shows I have seen. If anyone ever asked me to name a show that made me cry the most, it is this show for sure!
It is heartwarming and beautiful.
The actors did a wonderful job with their roles. You could feel their emotions and getting completely absorbed into the drama was very easy.
The story was deep and meaningful and it was executed very well. It delivers a very simple message which most of us might overlook even though it's right in front of us.
And the special appearances never hurt!

I don't mind sitting down to rewatch the drama again right now!

THE WARMTH OF BEING GLOOMY

First of all I rated it with 2.0 in rewatchable value for the reason of Drama Withdrawal. How can normal people watch it again for the 2nd time, like every episode I become a mess a sobbing jellybean watching it with tissues ready on the side. For once in my life on watching kdrama this was the only drama that I would take a break for each and every episode because i cant control my eyes from watering my cheeks damn THATS HOW SAD ITS IS. Overall the drama is very good because it talks about human penury, human guilt, longingness and everything that makes us a sponge of things around us based on our actions and interactions within the society also depicts life situation of kids with disabilities which is nice approach in giving awareness. KUDOS TO THE TEAM. but I think i can rewatch it anytime soon.

Heart wrenching

Disclaimer: I'm not the best writing reviews but I'll try my best!

"Move To Heaven" was beautifully written! I cried every episode and each episode was heartwarming,
My favorite thing about is how the uncle and nephew got closer in each episode.

This show is such a roller coaster! My emotion would change every minute to Joy, Angry, and sad.
I highly recommend if you love emotional K-Dramas! :) It's really good like really good so watch it!

The actors were amazing doing their job! Lee Je Hoon and Tang Jun Sung was amazing portraying their characters.
I hope to see a lot from them in the future.

Everything was amazing the way there's each story in every episode is really meaningful. The director, screenwriter, producers were amazing too. If your reading this definitely check the K-Drama out!!

Highly Recommend -- Illuminating Journey of the Power of Love

I wasn't sure what to expect with Move to Heaven. I mean, I read the premise of it, but how many times have we all done that only to find the show or movie is nothing like the synopsis described it. One thing is for sure, though, it was quite an emotional ride, one I hadn't felt since My Mister and Chocolate. And not only that but it's beautifully produced, with vivid colors and tones. I knew I would enjoy the drama for the mere fact that Lee Je Hoon was in it, and it's the main reason I decided to watch it since it wasn't really in my plan to watch list, to begin with; I'm glad I did.

There is no disputing the brilliance that is Tang Jun Sang as Han Geu Roo. But my favorite was Hong Seung Hee in her role as Yoon Na Moo. She was a blessing to have in and around Geu Roo throughout the drama in every sense of the word. I would be remiss not to mention Jung Ae Yun in the role of Madam Jung, the one character I disliked the moment I laid eyes on her. I mean, even before she uttered a word, and it never really got any better for her, no arc development or growth here, just pure greed. But with that said, the credit again goes to Jung Ae Yun and her ability to make me feel the way I did towards her character. Each character, the good and the bad leave an impact and makes Move to Heaven the great story that slowly and methodically unfolds on screen.

Everything about this drama works and works very well. From the touching stories in each of the commissioned trauma cleanings to the way Move to Heaven handles each case and the closure, care, and respect it provides to the dearly departed as well as those left behind to deal with the loss of their loved one. I truly commend the writer, the director, all the actors for bringing to life a drama about a young man who cannot change, whose whole life is anchored and defended by routine yet changes the lives of all those around him. And by the end of the first episode, I found myself feeling love for Han Geu Roo like he was related to me, which is a credit to Tang Jung Sang as an actor and how he plays the character. He doesn't play him as cute, lovable, or even pathetic, but a matter of factly, uninflected, unmoved except when his routine changes and he gets agitated until its balance is restored. And it's in those moments that I grew to love him even more than I had already started for what he was, and realized that's how the people around him felt about him too.

All the change in the drama belongs to Jo Sang Goo (Lee Je Hoon), who begins the drama as a me-first opportunist. But by the end, he learns to pay attention, listen, and be a little more patient while in the process gets to know the meaning of family and true love. Move to Heaven to me was about acceptance, unconditional love, and that being different is nothing to be afraid of but something to encourage and embrace. And it's a lesson we can all undoubtedly benefit from in our daily dealings with the people around us, be it family, friends, our neighbors, or mere strangers. Fantastic drama, and here is me wishing and optimistically waiting on the second season of this journey.

Worth Every Minute and Tear Dropped

This is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. It is so wholesome and heartwarming. I loved every moment of it. If you loved Miracle in Cell No.7, prepare your tissue box because this one is times ten that...ten episodes of potiential triggers for endless ugly crying.

Honestly, the acting and storyline is impeccable. Everything is paced nicely and there are thorough twists and turns to keep things interesting. You'll find yourself invested from the get-go and longing for more when you finally notice you've already hit episode ten. Truly a beautiful and thoroughly thought out drama made to pull hearts and conjure up pools of tears.

my eyes are burning from all the crying.

This show has entered my all time favorite k-dramas list. TOP5!
When i tell you i've cried every single episode, i wished i was lying... but i did. If there's something that leaves me completely broken are unspoken words that didn't reach someone in life, that are later shared to the audience via memories.

Every story is different, and they are all as beautiful as they are heartbreaking. Every episode leaves lingering feelings.
This really made me think, if i died tomorrow and someone had to collect my stuff, what would they find that it's of any worth?! Will my items help to reveal who i am and help my loved ones find peace?! This show was so profound to me... i had many thoughts while watching it.

The actors are 10/10. Amazing performance. Just wow. I will recommend this kdrama even to people that don't usually watch asian content shows. It's incredible!

The only thing that it's not a 10 it's the rewatch value, cause I don't think i can make myself watch it all over again. My head hurts, my eyes are burning... this show has emotionally destroy me (in a good way. i have a feeling i have grown as a person while watching this show). I will watch a second season though. I think it's fair to say a second season will drop eventually, and i will recharge my heart and tissue box for the next round of stories.

Big thank you to the writers of this show. Thank you!

Impossible not to cry

I am not sure how exactly to put into words about how I feel towards this series. I am currently extremely overwhelmed with emotions that I’ve just now finished sobbing. I rarely cry over TV shows but this really touched my heart in ways I am unable to describe. Perhaps it’s the accurate and realistic representation of life that touched me. Perhaps it’s the way they portrayed human life. Perhaps it’s relatable of losing a loved one. Whatever it might be, this story overall is just incredible. It seriously touched my heart since episode 1. Overall an incredible experience. Really recommend this to everyone. Just a warning tho, it’s impossible not to cry while watching this.

Bring Tissues

Going into this, I had a lot of expectations and reservations about the show. I knew it would make me feel things, but I was also worried about how it would tackle so many delicate subjects at once. In many cases, it's not handled well. But with each episode, Move to Heaven continued to surprise and impress me.

Naturally, every episode of Move to Heaven deals with grief. Each case is unique and deals with its own circumstances surrounding the deceased and the people in their lives. The people range from every walk of life and tackle a lot of big topics that are relevant today, from the LGBT community to the problems with overseas adoption. Geu Roo's character was handled with a lot of respect, too, and he's extremely likable. I can't say whether his portrayal was accurate or realistic as I don't think I'm qualified to, but it felt very well done. His relationship with both his father and uncle was amazing to see and the way each character grows from episode 1 to episode 10 was beautiful.

It's heartbreaking. Naturally. The job of Move to Heaven is not only to clean up the deceased's belongings but to say to their loved ones what they never could. It's sad, but it's also uplifting as you watch the small impact these things can make on someone's life. I give it the highest of recommendations. Whether or not we get a season 2, it's worth your time.

Thanks for introducing us to this very special profession

I have huge praise for screenwriter Yoon Ji Ryun for creating a show about trauma cleaners, a profession I didn't know existed. Especially in a culture that is fairly judgemental about people's jobs and superstitious about death, it's doubly important to tell stories about it. Not only does it address trauma cleaners and humanize the dead, but it also tries to portray people with ASD as valuable, capable, and human.

The story is simple and easy to digest. Each character has one main conflict plotline that is punctuated by each encounter with a deceased person as the team cleans up their belongings and learns about their life. The simple treatment is actually why I don't think the show deserves a high overall rating. It is simply too conventional. The conflicts and challenges the characters face and their resulting transformations are too predictable. The dialogue and interactions that show character transformations, though well written and well delivered, are too perfect. The flashbacks of Geu Ru and his father are too smoothly heartwarming. I feel that this show could have taken the highly engaging material and challenged us as viewers. It could have pushed us to rethink what we already know, and asked us to question what it means to live, love, and die, what intelligence is, what family means to us, and what we are willing to sacrifice. Instead, it gives us something to pat ourselves on the back with because most of us already believe what the show is trying to tell us.

Furthermore, one big issue is the show's treatment of Geu Ru. It gets some of the mechanics right about his abilities, but exploits his character to help others learn lessons or change their thinking. I found this to be behind the times in terms of how shows should portray neurodiverse people. We hardly get to know him as a person. We don't understand his inner thoughts at all. If the year was 1980, perhaps this show would have been groundbreaking (in case you didn't know, Rain Man was released in 1988). But alas, it is 2021 and we expect better.

The acting is outstanding, especially Lee Je Hoon as our conflicted underground fighter Sang Gu. I feel he played the sensitive uncle with depth and understanding. I also really enjoyed Hong Seung Hee as Na Mu. She never overplayed her energetic character, despite the fact that her role was basically written as "the responsible nag". Finally, Tang Jun Sang's performance as Geu Ru was understated and he really connected with the other characters even when his character had differing goals.

I will be along for the ride next season, and I sincerely hope this show will grow and challenge us further.

Also, if you are interested in this theme, read The Embalmer, a well crafted manga by Mitsukazu Mihara, which tries to break superstitions and judgement about death and this particular way of preserving the dead.

A very emotive drama - fab acting!

I had no knowledge of this drama until a clip started playing on my Netflix home page. It looked intriguing, so I hopped on here to see what people were saying and decided to give it a try.

I am so glad I did! The drama is beautifully executed and manages to draw emotion from it’s audience with a combination of great acting and well-thought out stories, each offering the chance for the main characters to grow.

The relationship between the main characters is so unique. I love that we get to watch the characters smoothly transition from strangers to family.

I have only seen LJH in Signal, and when he appeared in the first episode, I almost didn’t recognise him. His character is so different to the one he portrays in Signal and so I’m glad I’ve got to see how versatile he is as an actor. I look forward to watching more of his dramas!

Overall, the characters in the drama are refreshing to watch. The relationships feel realistic and the plot manages to highlight different issues in society, beautifully unraveling the different stories of the deceased.

I recommend watching! It’s considerably shorter than most dramas, so it’s not a big commitment. My heart feels full after finishing this drama - I’m not sure how else to describe how I feel!

Trying too hard

this just tried too hard to be sad, the stories felt too convenient and after watching the same sob stories it kinda makes it less moving.
the whole dynamic of the cold guy, the dysfunctional family to the "guardian" that needs to change thing happens way too often, even the whole life full of misfortune that makes the ML jaded thing

but I have to say, lee je hoon's acting was amazing, he played the sad soul to the hopeful soft soul really well. a little too well cuz everyone else seemed basic.
Lee Jae Wook and the whole meeting with LJH had more depth than the story though the ending again was just another move for the tears so it felt meh, but his acting was great too
and Ji Jin Hee as well, he did the perfect father role really well


the story about Jung Woo finding the baby, and the slow building love from Sang Gu were the best parts. I also liked Choi Soo Young, I wish she had a bigger role

the ost was basic and I never rewatch stuff.

wholesome

just have to write a review for this series.

this series just brought us a new perspective of grieving. how things left behind by the deceased often portray their life and what they wanted to convey to their loved one or the world. how the series bring it to life is just touching and wholesome.

each character shown has their story to tell and it was what hook me in the most. the character development of the main lead is really good and well develop especially cho sang goo. and how han geu roo brought us to his journey of grieving and letting go of his father. these 3 character (cho sang goo, han geu roo, han jung woo) relationship with each other are really great developed and the progressed is really good.

the acting of each character is really well.

the only reason why i do not score it 5 stars for rewatch value is because i don't think i can't rewatch it on a whim, i have to prepare myself emotionally to rewatch it again because it really emotion-consuming watching this series. （i cried for the whole series, managed to used a box of tissue)
