Netflix Sets New Korean Original

Netflix is working on a new Korean original series, Move to Heaven.

The series follows the story of Gu-ru, who has Asperger’s syndrome, and his uncle Sang-gu. The two meet through the death of Gu-ru’s father and end up running a trauma cleaning business together, uncovering various stories of the deceased while experiencing different emotions and sentiments toward life, death and family.

The series is inspired by a nonfiction essay Things Left Behind (loosely translated from the Korean title 떠난 후에 남겨진 것들), written by professional trauma cleaner Kim Sae-byul.

Move to Heaven is directed by Kim Sung-ho (How to Steal a Dog) and written by Yoon Ji-ryun (Boys Over Flowers, Angel Eyes).
