Can you identify this shrub?

Any idea what this shrub is? I moved it from the shade (where it looked like it was dying) to a sunnier spot. For the first 5 days it looked great and I thought I had been successful- now it's leaves are drying and browning. I moved it with the berries on. In the spring it has pink flowers. I also moved a dying rhododendron to a sunnier spot and it is SO happy. What's wrong with this one? I pruned all the dead stuff and cut a lot of branches off to a new node. There is a tiny bit of new growth in a couple of spots (which looks good, not wilted), so I have some hope. Yes, I know it needs mulching - I'll get to that ASAP. I water it well everyday, leaving the hose on for 10-20 minutes.

Any clue what this is? Does it like the sun?

To me it looks like one of the invasive shrub honeysuckles.

Yes, I agree. Best to pull that up and discard it instead.
