Of course, along the way, we also understand (even before Sang-gu/ Jeong-u backstories were revealed), why Jeong-u felt that Sang-gu would make a good guardian for Geu-ru. Though he appeared only in ep1, his presence and his related backstory to Sang-gu set the stage for the wayward uncle taking over guardianship for Geu-ru. Of course, given the two protagonists’ disparate lifestyle preferences, it was a really enlightening and fun watch to see how the narrative eventually meet these two on common grounds.Īnd the common grounds would be Geu-ru’s deceased dad, Jeong-u. And like most savants, he struggles with understanding human emotions, but is brilliantly analytical, has a photographic memory and ….is OCD-level when it comes to tidiness. Pitted against Sang-gu is his young nephew, Geu-ru, who is an autistic savant. (If there’s any similarity, it’s that Lee Je-hoon is super buffed. He chain smokes, he swears, he is downright filthy and he has a rather iffy outlook on criminal activities. Unlike the clean, straight-as-arrow ex-solder in Taxi, Sang-gu in Heaven is more colourful. In Heaven, he plays this ex-convict who had a history of mixing with unsavoury characters and fighting in underground boxing matches. And I am astounded by Lee Je– hoon’s acting chops again, having come over to this drama after ending Taxi. This drama packs a lot of heart - for the short 10eps it is shown in.
