3.5/4
"Move to Heaven" is a beautiful and at times brutal series that tells so many touching stories. One of the most important aspects was in how the series showed respect for the dead, even when the supposed loved ones of the deceased don't seem to care.

2.5/5
Move to Heaven can be quite dark and occasionally graphic, which puts it at odds with the calculated nature of its sentimentalism. Go to Full Review Anthony Kao Cinema Escapist 06/07/2021
Eschewing the romantic tropes and sappy tone of most mainstream K-dramas, Move to Heaven demonstrates a degree of social consciousness that bodes well... Go to Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media 06/02/2021
4/5
This poetic and haunting series from Korea asks moral questions about being valued; it flows at the pace of clouds drifting across a spring sky, until the storm gathers and sudden change arises. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Neil W. H Nov 3 Tugs at the heart in many directions as it's such a effective storyline acted by great actors who cared for the show's message. See more JP H @Taocat Sep 26 Lovely. A wonderful series that demonstrates how the caring tenderness of a young man impacts the lives of many others. Please watch it and let some of his kindness into your heart.

Well written, well directed, beautifully acted, lovely lighting and cinematography. Kudos to all involved. See more Tamanna S 02/18/2025 Such a simple yet so beautiful and meaningful drama, this is kind of drama once should definitely watch once in their lifetime! See more Tony E 12/07/2024 Recently been getting into Korean (K) drama, food, music - all sorts. I've seen so much on Netflix worth pursuing but this is just on another level. Yes it's cheesy at times and uses the stuff of naff sitcoms, but overall it pulls on the tried and tested heart strings like a powerful hydraullic machine. It's irresitstable, interesting, surprising, warming, loving, caring, thoughtful, provocative, and most of all just plain nice. There's more kicks than when vicariously bashing the bullies. Seriously, ignore the occasional chintz and enjoy the fantastic imagination of the writers. See more Read all reviews
