Tear Jerker and a masterpiece

First of all I was very intrigued by the plot line of the story from the outset as it’s not everyday one sees death handled in the way Move To Heaven does it. In fact I didn’t even know a trauma cleaner was a job until this show. But by the end I completely understood it. Man this show made me bawl and I’m not much of an emotions person but the way that Geu-Ru was healed by the end and the character growth of Sang-Gu I was just enchanted.
If I had one criticism of the show it’s that Sang-Gu’s fighting ring was not really tied up neatly at all and honestly they should’ve just left it at the uncle letting go and trauma cleaning for his best friend and protege after the final fight. I’m going to go ahead and say that the mob doesn’t give up that easily and the uncle will have some trouble in the future which is why I just don’t think this plotline was all that necessary or tied up neatly. I thought Sang-Gu’s relationship and trauma from his upbringing with Jeong-Wu was good enough on its own though I understand the fighting ring stuff as it’s own separate thing I just think it was extraneous.
Other than that man this was great and I loved the tie in of social commentary such as the mall collapsing bc of the Olympics and capitalism as well as the adoption storyline which was just *chefs kiss* handled so well. Felt rlly personal and vulnerable then. Thank you Move To Heaven
I can’t and won’t comment on the realisticness of mental disability in this drama but I will say that I was at least impressed by the acting in this esp considering Tang Jun-Sang’s other roles I think it shows a real versatility.
Everyone should watch this show.

Youth at its best and most wholesome

What can I say? I laughed I cried, I awed and I booed. This story really made me believe in Kdramas as wholesomeness. Man this was so good. I was thinking about it when I wasn’t watching it. I was shipping characters together. Acting was incredible out of everyone and I just really loved learning about Korean culture through the eyes of this neighborhood. I loved traveling back in time like this to a time when things weren’t so freaking disconnected. My favorite kdrama to date.
I will say however that I will never ever ship Choi Taek and Doek Sun together at all. I’m team Doek Hwang idc. I love Go tbh so I’m a Taek fan but come on he does not have any chemistry with Doek Sun.
I think in general this drama portrayed the ups and downs of a youth well lived. A youth that was spent on all the things we should spend it on. One where every personal moment seems like the end of the world but rlly that moment is just that a moment. How dramatic we are as youths that everything matters so much and yet they matter so little.
This drama encapsulates that within it.
