New Cast Members of the New Korean Series ‘Move to Heaven’ Have Been Announced

A new Korean original series is coming to Netflix soon, and they have confirmed the casting for the new original series called ‘Move to Heaven’.

‘Move to Heaven’ tells the story of Geu-ru, a young man with Asperger’s syndrome, and Sang-gu, who suddenly finds himself as Geu-ru’s guardian. The two work as trauma cleaners, clearing out the possessions of the deceased and uncovering the many stories that are left behind.

Lee Je-hoon and Tang Jun-sang will be taking on the lead roles, while Ji Jin-hee (‘Designated Survivor: 60 Days’, ‘Misty’) will make a special appearance as Geu-ru’s kind and affectionate father Jeong-u. He operates Move to Heaven, a disposal service for the personal belongings of the deceased, and designates his younger brother Sang-gu as Geu-ru’s guardian.

Lee Jae-wook (‘When the Weather is Fine’, ‘Extraordinary You’, ‘Search WWW’) will make a special appearance as Su-cheol, who had been involved with Sang-gu being sent to prison. Su-cheol’s appearance will pique your curiosity not only for more insight into Sang-gu’s past; but also about ‘Move to Heaven’, in general.

Hong Seung-hee (‘Who Kissed Me?’, ‘I Wanna Hear Your Song’, ‘Memorist’) will play Na-mu, a key character alongside Geu-ru and Sang-gu. Na-mu lives next door to Geu-ru and considers him as family and is protective of him. She also keeps a careful eye on Sang-gu, who suddenly becomes Geu-ru’s guardian. 

‘Move to Heaven’ is directed by Kim Sung-ho (‘How to Steal a Dog’)  and written by Yoon Ji-ryun (‘Boys Over Flowers’ and ‘Angel Eyes’) will be available worldwide exclusively on Netflix.
