Move to Heaven manages to capture life& death perfectly in my opinion. Painting a picture of grief that feels natural is very hard to do. It's a complex process, insanely different for everyone. Yet, they manage to make it feel relatable and universal.

The cinematic beauty of every single shot is as beautifully crafted as the plot itself. The same goes for the brilliant acting done by the 3 main leads, one of whose character is autistic in nature. Also, despite an absence of an active romantic plot, you still hope to see sparks fly between the other two characters solely for the perfectly nailed subtle chemistry shimmering between the two.

Another one of my favourite things about the show were the cleaning montages. To the sound of classical musical, with no lyrics whatsoever. Han Geu-ru let the deceased do the talking. Life feels surprisingly long yet so incredibly short at the same time. And no matter how young or old you die, your life still fits inside a sunshine yellow box. But no matter how alone you may be in life, there will always be someone to collect your box in death.

Lee Je Hoon's Chang-gu feels very special to me. He's very flawed. Who wouldn't be after going what he went through, but he grows, and he changes-so gradually you almost miss it. You catch yourself liking him before you know it. There was no big traumatic event that moved him towards change, it was a collection of small moments that feel minuscule in comparison to the amount of hurt he experienced. Chang-gu can be any of us, jaded by life and filled with spiteful bitterness. But through new experiences, working at Move to Heaven and being Geu-ru's guardian, he starts seeing the world differently. His character development was seamless.

Must-watch in the current pandemic times when almost all of us have lost someone or the other and can relate to the feelings of grief and what comes thereafter.
