Do you know what a “trauma cleaner” is? It’s a company that comes in after someone dies, collects and disposes of their belongings, and cleans and deodorises the space. This sparked the idea for the unique series Move To Heaven, which layers in autism and family tension along with the spiritual business of cleaning up after the dead. We first see Han Geu-ru (Tang Jun-sang) at an aquarium, studying the aquatic life in the tank and telling an employee all of the little details he sees that may need attention. Geu-ru has ASD, likely Asperger’s syndrome. He has amazing attention to detail and his observational skills are top notch. His best friend, Na Moo (Hong Seung-hee), who works there, loves how his brain works. Gen-ru lives with his father Jeong-u (Jin-hee Ji), who cooks him fried eggs the same way for every meal. Jeong-u suggests that maybe it’s time for Gen-ru to fry his own eggs, in case he’s not around. When Gen-ru dashes to the kitchen to start learning, they get a call. An intern has died in his dormitory room. The two of them operate a business called Move To Heaven. They’re trauma cleaners, they have utmost respect for those who just died, and so, they collect the most precocious belongings in yellow boxes so they can be returned to the deceased’s families. The show is definitely more spiritual than the average K-drama.
