Netflix’s ‘Move to Heaven’ & ‘Sweet Home’ Sweep 2021 AACA

Netflix’s ‘Move to Heaven’ and ‘Sweet Home’ swept the 2021 Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA).

On December 3rd, Move to Heaven and Sweet Home took home multiple awards at the 2021 AACA. Move to Heaven was awarded Best Actor in a Leading Role (Lee Je Hoon) and Best Drama Series. Additionally, Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Lee Do Hyun) and Best Direction (Director Lee Eung Bok) went to Sweet Home.

Open to the entire Asia region, Asian Academy Creative Awards honors excellence in craft and technical disciplines across multiple platforms, including TV, digital, mobile, and streaming.

Move to Heaven is about Geu Ru, a trauma cleaner suffering from Asperger syndrome, and his guardian Sang Gu. The show follows the two helping a final move of those who passed away and delivering untold messages to those left behind.

It conveyed deep sympathy and warm healing with a warm gaze on life, death, and people under the theme of trauma cleaner. In particular, Lee Je Hoon’s emotional acting had touched the hearts of many. Kim Mina, CEO of Number Three Pictures, said, “I hope that our drama will provide even a little bit of comfort to those who have lost a loved one in the COVID-era.”

Sweet Home tells a bizarre and shocking story that a loner high school student experiences in an apartment that he moved into after losing his family. The project immediately captivated viewers with its fresh story, actors’ powerful performance, and overwhelming visuals of creatures.

It ranked on Netflix Today’s TOP 10 rankings in more than 70 countries, writing a new history as a K-creature drama. Kim Young Gyu, CEO of Studio Dragon, shared, “I think K-drama has improved a lot through Sweet Home.”
