MABALACAT CITY — An inspiring Korean drama series of a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome, Move to Heaven will premiere on May 14 via Netflix as announced through an exclusive online press conference on Wednesday.
Move to Heaven is a Netflix Original Series starring Lee Je-hoon (Sang-gu), Tang Jun-sang (Gue-ru) and Hong Seung-hee (Na-moo), as well as special appearances from Ji Jin-hee and Lee Jae-wook. The series has received attention for its casting lineup known to bring sincerity and passion to their roles.
Move to Heaven is based on a nonfiction essay “Things Left Behind” written by one of Korea’s former trauma cleaners Kim Sae-byul. The story is told from an honest and unbiased perspective of one of the main characters named Geu-ru who has Asperger’s syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder.
“It made me think back on my life and I think this is something that the viewers can also feel. I try to express that message through my acting so I hope that it travels to you and delivers. This will also give you a chance to learn about the trauma cleaners and their jobs on how precious they are,” said Jun-sang.
