Season 1
We are trauma cleaners. We will now begin your last move.
Synopsis
Move to Heaven (2021), Season 1 is a Korean Netflix drama you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes about Geu-ru, an autistic teenager who clears out the homes of the dead and pieces together what they never got to say out loud.
When his father dies, Geu-ru's guardianship lands on an unlikely stranger: his uncle Sang-gu, an ex-boxer fresh out of prison. The two reluctantly take up the work of trauma cleaning. A factory intern killed on the job, a box of someone else's regrets waiting to be delivered, a couple who chose to leave together. Most episodes hold one death and one quiet story, while the spine of the season is the slow, awkward thaw between uncle and nephew, and the debts trailing Sang-gu from his old life.
Adapted from the essays of a real-life death cleaner, the show stays gentle and observant, never reaching for easy tears. For viewers who prefer small, intimate drama over loud melodrama. Watch Move to Heaven Season 1 online on iFILM.
