In the huge catalog of series available on Netflix, we sometimes find hidden gems that surprise us and leave us thinking. “Heaven is Waiting for You”, also known as “Moving to Heaven”, is one of those gems that deserves the attention of viewers.
What is ‘Heaven is Waiting for You’?
The series, released in May 2021, follows the life of Geu-ru, a young man with Asperger syndrome, and his uncle Sang-gu. Together, they start an unusual profession: they are “wound cleaners”. Their job is to deal with the last belongings of the deceased and uncover their untold stories. Through this process, they unravel the secrets and connections left behind after each person’s departure.
Geu-ru, played by talented actor Lee Je-hoon, has a knack for detail. His analytical mind and meticulous approach make him an expert at trauma cleaning (ie cleaning people’s houses after they’ve died).
Despite Asperger’s syndrome, Geu-ru delves into the world of the deceased’s memories and emotions, revealing deep layers of humanity.
On the other hand, Sang-gu, played by Tang Jun-sang, is Geu-ru’s uncle. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes the legal guardian of his nephew. Together, they form an unusual but effective team. Sang-gu, with his own emotional baggage, finds in Geu-ru a unique connection and a chance to heal his wounds.
The series takes place in an environment where death and grief are central themes. Each episode presents a different story, a move to heaven that requires compassion, empathy and respect. As the characters face the challenges of their jobs, they also face their own inner demons.
