Refreshing, heartbreaking and quite a new concept. Whole drama comprised of ten individual demise stories. A person when dies leaves behind wonderful memories, his/her offspring, some search for love, some die with love, some die with pain and sufferings, some die untimely, some take away their own life, some die simply because their time ends; everything is extremely heartwarming. Tears did not want to take any name to stop running relentlessly. It shattered my heart every time Han Geu Ru ran panting, with that rectangular yellow box to handover it to the deceased’s loved ones, containing a person’s used belongings. Is it easy to erase everything out of one’s life just because s/he left this superficial world? Life is real so is death. Diverse perceptions, thoughts, philosophies, dogmas, beliefs, faiths, cultures, traditions etc. are existent in this earth but no one denies the inevitable fate of death of every living creature.

Move to Heaven beautified this death. Although we come without anything and also leave without anything but each human creates a web of relationships, complex emotions, needs, wants, expression of tastes, longing for a smooth and better life; however, it might cut short. We have stories to tell which are left untold, we have grievances to share which are left grieved upon, we have love to express which are left unexpressed, and we have multifarious wishes to fulfil which are left unfulfilled. All humans are unsung heroes of their own life or someone’s life. The depiction is truly heart rendering. Portrayal of every death was truly magnificent.

We live as if we are immortal beings. Different sorts of love, respect, dignity, sympathy, empathy, ugly human greed, societal issues made its place in this drama from humanistic point of view. Every interaction every words we speak every gesture we make has meaning(s) though often times we try to hide our genuine emotions underneath our superficial façade. The drama basically highlighted all these factors from philosophical perspective. How the living perceive the death and how the end of a person is just his/her mortality and physicality that expires only. Nonetheless, either good or bad, they keep on living as enriched memories of some other people.

Impressive was also the direction, cinematography, editing and some specific camera angle managed to retain the true aesthetics of the story. Individual stories were solid and sufficiently shown without making them too overdramatic or too draggy.

Tang Jun Sang, this child actor stole my heart away with his untainted innocent acting. His talent is boundless. Such adorable young fellow has a really bright future ahead. All the ensemble made their characters believable by putting their heart and soul into displaying a natural acting. They all did exceptionally well.

Cried buckets and learned many things. No one should refrain oneself from watching this gem. Indulge yourself in this short journey, you would not regret.
