Move to Heaven a Netflix Original Series about trauma cleaner Han Geu-ru (Tang Jun-sang) and his ex-con uncle Cho Sang-gu (Lee Je-hoon) premieres on May 14 and is a guaranteed cryfest that will warm viewers’ hearts. Below are 5 reasons why you won’t want to miss out on Move to Heaven!
1) Unique Story
Have you heard of trauma cleaners before? A trauma cleaner cleans the home of the
deceased person and organizes their belongings. Through collecting what’s left behind, a
trauma cleaner delivers any unsaid messages from the deceased to those who are living on. Director Kim Sung-ho talked about being inspired by Kim Sae-byul’s nonfiction essay Things Left Behind and wanted to show how trauma cleaning helps people experience proper closure. You’ll definitely learn something new through this series.
2) Lee Je-hoon
If you haven’t watched Lee Je-hoon yet, you’re seriously missing out. The actor is a
chameleon and has taken on many diverse roles. From a gangster who dreams of becoming a tenor in My Paparotti to a profiler intent on tackling crime in Signal, Lee Je-hoon has quite the repertoire. The actor explained that he’s actually the opposite of his unkempt and abrasive Move to Heaven character, but it was fun acting as Sang-gu and tapping into a different personality. Tune in and see his transformation for yourself!
3) Young Rising Stars
Tang Jun-sang and Hong Seung-hee are rising actors you’ll want to see more of. You may recognize Tang Jun-sang as the adorable youngest North Korean soldier from Crash Landing on You and Hong Seung-hee as the granddaughter of a man sincerely dreaming of ballet in Navillera. Both actors expressed their excitement about portraying leading roles in such a heartwarming series. In Move to Heaven, you can enjoy Tang Jun-sang and Hong Seung-hee’s cute dynamic as best friends and neighbors.
4) Fantastic Cameos
In addition to the main cast, there will be plenty of familiar faces appearing in cameos. First, we have Ji Jin-hee (Designated Survivor: 60 Days) who portrays Geu-ru’s father and Sang-gu’s brother. Choi Soo-young (Run On) will portray a social worker who crosses paths with the trauma cleaners. There’s also Lee Jae-wook (Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol) whose character learns how to fight from Cho Sang-gu. Other cameos to look forward to include Lim Won-hee, PENTAGON’s Hong-seok, Jung Dong-hwan, Kevin Oh, and more.
5) Heartwarming Bromance
Adding on to the heartfelt stories of those who have passed, there is a feel-good bromance to look forward to. Han Geu-ru is on the autism spectrum and Sang-gu experiences some difficulty adjusting to this at first. Likewise, Geu-ru finds his ex-con uncle disorderly and rough around the edges. However, they learn to adapt to each other and begin to care deeply for each other. Lee Je-hoon and Tang Jun-sang shared that while they portray an uncle and nephew, they’re closer like brothers in real life. See their on-screen bromance for yourself!
