WHAT DID I WATCH ON NETFLIX: "MOVE TO HEAVEN"


The problem of good drama series is I will get hooked on it and binge-watch until the concluding episode. I managed to finish this 10-episode Korean drama in two days which is an achievement but it is worth the time spent, staying up late into the night.

When his (foster) father passed away, Han Geu-Ru, a 20 year old with Asperger's Syndrome, had to live with a long lost uncle, Sang-Gu, who was an ex-convict. Life was not easy for them, both living in their own worlds and now they had to adapt to each other's distinct lifestyle. Then there was this Geu-Ru's next door neighbour cum childhood BFF who was there to monitor how well Sang-Gu was taking care of his nephew. The three of them continued to work as trauma cleaners for Move To Heaven company which cleared the houses of dead people as they were carrying out collecting and throwing away the belongings of the deceased, the history unfold. There are many subplots and flashbacks, but be ready to cry yourself a river in almost all the episodes.

One drama series you should not miss. In this cruel world where people vent their anger, hatred, frustration and resentment on social media, you will find that actually in life, there still exist friendship, love, kindness,  compassion, loyalty and humanity, and most importantly: hope. Get ready to run a drama marathon during this semi MCO period.

One point worth mentioning, the lead actor Geu-Ru, played by Tang-Joon Sang, is half Malaysian.
