Review 📌
This is the drama that you need when you are desperately seeking the meaning of your life. The most important purpose of this drama is to change our perspectives about grieving to someone's demise. This drama combines important issues while celebrating peoples life and showing both respect and nuance to peoples death.
Every episode has it's beautiful message to deliver and while some kick you making you want to fight back, some will give you hope and others are just sad and that is okay too. This drama portrays many important issues while celebrating people's life and showing both respect and shade to "death". This was an emotional ride with every single emotion known.
The drama starts with someone's misery hinting a tragic journey but the entire journey is just beautiful. Saying that it will make you cry tears of happiness will be an understatement because this is one of those heart-warming kdramas out there.
This drama also emphasizes on how a dead can communicate with the living from what they've left behind. This particular thing have touched the core of my heart and I'm sure it's been mesmerizing for everyone too.
The writer has done very well in touching different forms if life in the guise of societal issues which will definitely fuel up the positive stances and enroute acceptance in people's mindsets. The direction and screenplay is simply like adding feather to a cap. Good job in cinematography too. The crew has done a commendable job here.
Then comes the cast. The production has done a very good job in casting, be it the major characters or the guest characters, I would say they are the appropriate choice. I was so happy seeing so many guest characters.
Lee Jee Hoon, definitely one of the best Korean actors has once again won our hearts with his acting, played his character really well. Tang Joon Sang, being a newbie, I am sure this drama and his acting, will bring him enormous opportunity. He's so cute and was really good in playing someone with Asperger's syndrome. There is no disputing the brilliance that is Tang Joon 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.
Let's talk about the ending. Let me say you that I am not okay with it. It has an open ending hinting for a new season but is that necessary? They could have closed the drama with the scene before the last scene too but they decided to extend it with a big twist. Idk what's in the writer's mind but I am looking forward to it. I was actually wishing there'd be more episodes given that it's soooo good, but am not happy because in most of the cases the dramas with extended seasons ended up getting messed.
Personal Rating - 10/10 💕
