MOVE TO HEAVEN 1.01 / 1.10

[withnotesandmatcha]

Can we talk about all the social commentary Move to Heaven did? Let me break it down by episodes:

Episode 1 (Teenage factory worker who died alone in his cheap apartment):

Workplace negligence

Social inequity

School abandonment due to lack of funds

Ableism (the boss trying to take advantage of the parents' deafness)

Filial piety

Episode 2 & 3 (Elderly woman dies and a stash of cash is found)

Elderly abuse (negligence and abandonment fall under this category)

I don't remember the exact term, but taking advantage of the benefits of guardianship.

Grief and understanding of death.

Dementia

Parental regret

General regret

Episode 4 (Woman murdered by "boyfriend")

Femicide

Under the past point, missing the signs of abuse

Confronting trauma

Episode 5 (Doctor and Cellist)

Homosexuality and homophobia

Learning to accept yourself

Shame and fear of being disowned

Bravery (as in, it comes in different shapes)

Episode 6 (elderly couple commits double suicide)

Once again, elderly abuse.

The importance of small acts of kindness

Learning empathy

True love

Fear of walking the last walk alone (the reason why the crew was so desperate to find people to mourn the couple)

Episode 7 (Sang Gu and Kim Su Cheol's story)

The real meaning of living (was Su Cheol still living or just a body connected to a machine)

Gambling and underground fighting, and how difficult it is to break the cycle

Punch drunk syndrome

Guilt (Sang Gu feels guilty over Su Cheol's death)

Episode 8 (a walk down memory lane)

Child abuse

Abandonment

Brotherly love

The mall accident (a very important part of Korea's history)

The impact of promises

Once again, regrets and lifetime regrets

Episode 9 (Kang So Min search for his birth mother)

Concept of family

The dangers of international adoptions

Immigrants struggles

Cultural feeling of not belonging anywhere

Dying alone in the world

Unspoken misunderstandings

Episode 10 (Geu Ru's struggle to move on)

Infant abandoment

Sign language as an alternative to verbal communication (I had never seen this been brought up in media)

Family is something that you form, not something that's already there

Letting go
