Move to Heaven is a Korean drama series set in the world of "trauma cleaners," people who clean up after the deceased and help loved ones move on. The show follows Geu-ru (Tang Joon-sang), a young man with Asperger's syndrome who takes over his father's trauma cleaning business after he passes away. Along with his uncle (Lee Je-hoon), Geu-ru explores the stories and lives of the departed as he works to bring closure to the families they left behind.

In Episode 9, Geu-ru and Sang-gu (Lee Je-hoon) take on a challenging case involving a man named Joo Dae-han (played by actor Oh Jung-se).

As they work to clean up his restaurant and personal belongings, Geu-ru and Sang-gu discover the many layers of Dae-han's life--including his struggles with addiction and his strained relationship with his family.

As the case progresses, Geu-ru and Sang-gu find themselves embroiled in a conflict between Dae-han's wife, who wants to sell the restaurant and move on, and his brother, who wants to keep it open as a tribute to Dae-han's legacy. Geu-ru, who is always dedicated to finding solutions that bring closure and healing, is especially moved by Dae-han's story, and he works tirelessly to help his family find a path forward that honors his memory.

The episode also delves deeper into the personal lives of Geu-ru, Sang-gu, and other key characters.
