Character background

Han Guru by Tang Junsang
He is a trauma cleaner who runs Move to Heaven. He used to work with his father Jeongu, but after Jeongu’s sudden death, he begins to work with his only relative Sanggu and his neighbor Namu. Even though he struggles with expressing his emotions and communicating with others due to Asperger’s syndrome, he can uncover stories left behind by the deceased thanks to his exceptional observation skills and memory and deliver the messages to the bereaved families. His honest words and unbiased actions show his sincere heart beyond his inexpressive face.
Cho Sanggu by Lee Jehoon
He was recently released from prison to return to society. He volunteers to become Geuru’s guardian for money, but in order to earn official guardianship, he must live with Geuru for three months and work for Move to Heaven. Unlike Geuru, who likes to keep things orderly and neat, Sanggu makes a mess wherever he goes and acts freely, which creates conflict between the two, but he begins to slowly change as he learns how sincere Geuru is about trauma cleaning.
Yoon Namu by Hong Seunghee
She cares about Geuru like her own family as they have known each other for more than a decade since they were young. Suspicious of Sanggu, who suddenly pops up in Geuru’s life, she keeps a close eye on Geuru and Sanggu on behalf of attorney Oh. Honest and strong-minded, she does not get easily intimidated by Sanggu, the tough guy, and readily joins Move to Heaven for their work without her mother’s knowledge.
Move to Heaven will finally be streaming only on Netflix this May 14.
