Moving

Worth to see. Something alike X-Men

__*Moving(2023)*__ - 9/10 -kdrama

its mainly action, :nation war: drama something like X-Men if mutants are breed and trained by nations and used in as secret agents in their wars.

For me action storyline aint anything precious you can see such theme and scenes alot in western movies. I liked romance parts. Whole drama time skips from one story to another making complete story.
For example in few eps you get story of kids in later eps you get story about their parents how they met etc.

Overall this series of drama did very good job in world building and telling story good enough and closed it up well. To be successful even without S2[which I heard will be made later].

__*plot*__ - Shortly existed korean agency[lets name it XXX] for supernatural agents, which thanks some problems was closed. Their agents are on run or in other agencies. Now that XXX agency is recreated and they try train up new blood. Thanks their machinations kids of former supernatural agents which inherited their gifts meets at same school. Of course other countries dont wanna see Korea to have another new batch of superhumans.

__*genre*__ - school, action, romance

Would be perfect...without the kids

OVERALL
Awesome human, superhero drama. Watch it, no ifs, because there's something for everyone to like!

THE STORY
I'm not a fan of superhero stories (God knows Hollywood has made enough for anyone to grow sick of them!), but I like stories that combine fantasy/sci-fi with the real world. That root the superheroes in reality. Moving is one of them. There's teenage angst, there're political conflicts; there's romance, there's tragedy. Yes, it's a story of people with superpowers, but it's also A LOT more than a story of people with superpowers.

The Best of this drama:
- The structure of the drama is pretty interesting. It gives away information little by little and keeps you wanting more
- The writing is *chef kiss* You can really tell writers thought it all well, from the episode titles (which are so meaningful!) to some of the lines.
- The long flashbacks, which reveal the backstory of the cast and connect all the mini-plots (there are few) together
- The overarching plot, which is about used people who rebel against the people using them
- The "parent" storylines (especially Bongseok's parents)
- Our teenage ML being overweight (I'm all for this representation!)
- The female characters are all so well written in this drama. Strong and with character, but each in their own way. That's great!

The Worst of the drama:
- Nothing, objectively, but subjectively speaking, I couldn't care less about the kids haha I would have loved a Moving focused entirely on the parents. Probably why I won't like S2 haha
- Also, if I want to be picky, I would say that gore needs a purpose. Sometimes it felt extra for no reason in this drama...

THE ACTING
Fab, fab, fab! It would be hard to pick a best actor in here. They were all SO amazing!

THE MUSIC
Pretty good!

REWATCH VALUE
Average, just because if I rewatch I'm definitely I'm skipping the teenage drama parts!

What a journey!

This could easily be one of the best K-dramas in recent years, a rare gem that comes around once in a decade.

What I liked:
- If you're looking for action that can match Hollywood movies, this drama is for you. The action scenes are top-tier.
- The CGI is very realistic, with great visual and practical effects. The sound fits perfectly in every scene, and the makeup team has done a fantastic job with the cast.
- The fight scenes are some of the best I've ever seen in a drama—intense and well done.
- The brutality is at its peak—plenty of blood and raw violence.

What I didn't like:
- The timelines can be a bit confusing, so you need to pay attention to keep track.
- Some events happen randomly without much setup, which can feel a bit off.
- The story doesn’t bring anything new—it’s a concept we've seen in other shows.

Fun Facts:
- This drama is based on a webtoon with the same name by Kang Full.
- It’s one of the most expensive K-drama productions, with a budget between $37 and $48 million.

A Superpowered Story with Heartfelt Humanity

Moving is an exhilarating and deeply touching series that transcends the typical superhero narrative. While it offers gripping action sequences and supernatural intrigue, its strongest moments come from its focus on family, sacrifice, and the bonds between parents and children. The pacing balances high-stakes battles with tender emotional beats, keeping you hooked from start to finish.

The cast shines—whether it’s the nuanced vulnerability of the students discovering their powers or the gravitas brought by their parents, every performance feels grounded and sincere. What sets Moving apart is how it reminds us that even in a world of extraordinary abilities, it’s the love, choices, and struggles of ordinary life that resonate the most.

If you want a series that thrills with action but stays with you because of its heart, Moving is a must-watch.

A Superpowered Story with Heart, Action, and Just the Right Amount of Chaos

Every once in a while, a drama comes along that’s just… different. Moving had that X-factor—something offbeat, something compelling, something that had me hooked from the start. It carried a similar emotional vibe to The Atypical Family (minus the makjang, of course), but its premise set it apart: a world where people with supernatural abilities are used, discarded, and left to fend for themselves.

One of the things I loved most about Moving was how seamlessly it transitioned between generations. We start with the kids—Bongseok, Huisoo, and Ganghoon—navigating their school days, friendships, and first love, only to be pulled into their parents’ pasts, revealing just how much weight they’ve been carrying all along. These backstories weren’t just fillers; they added depth, making you realize that this wasn’t just a story about kids with powers—it was about families, sacrifices, and survival.

And speaking of characters, every single one of them did absolute justice to their role. Bongseok and Huisoo were downright adorable—probably one of the cutest friendships-turned-first-love dynamics I’ve seen in a while. Their chemistry was just so pure and natural, making their story one of my favorite parts of the drama.

Then there was Han Hyo Joo and Jo In Sung. Their love story? Chef’s kiss. It was heart-fluttering, heartbreaking—it was everything. You just don’t get romance like that anymore. There was something so classic, so deeply emotional about the way they loved each other. Their story alone could’ve been a separate drama, and I would’ve watched every second of it.

Beyond the personal stories, Moving also tackled a fascinating premise: a country using these “special beings” for their own gain. The deeper you get into the series, the more you realize just how manipulative and calculating the NIS was—always thinking 10 steps ahead, always finding a way to use people as pawns. By the end, it was hard not to hate them.

That being said, if there was one drawback for me, it was the excessive violence in certain parts—especially toward the end. Some of it felt necessary to drive the stakes home, but others (like Huisoo’s dad’s segment) were brutal to the point where I had to look away. The final episodes, in particular, really dialed up the intensity, and while I get why, it just wasn’t my thing.

Interestingly, despite the clear good vs. evil dynamic, the show left me feeling conflicted about the so-called “villains”—especially the North Korean agents. In the end, they were fighting for the same reason: to prevent unnecessary sacrifices. It really hammered home the idea of patriotism and how those in power often abuse it for their own gain, turning even the most loyal soldiers into disposable tools.

The ending left things open-ended—season two, maybe?—but I was just happy that our main characters got their happy ending. They were finally able to live a normal life, something they had all longed for (even if Bongseok can’t resist the occasional heroic moment).

All in all, Moving was a well-made, well-executed series with stunning CGI, top-tier performances, and a compelling script. The only thing taking away from a perfect 10 was the excessive violence—but even then, it was still an easy 9/10. Definitely worth the watch!

Korean version of the Umbrella Academy but BETTER!

This drama is for those who enjoy something different from the usual romantic and chaebol based stories.

The story evolves around a group of children of former NIS agents who were born with superpower. Their abilities were constrained by their parents' desire to protect their children from getting seized by the NIS director.

The drama is divided into three parts: the first focuses on the children; the second part on the lives of their parents; and the third part is about the the children being hunted by the North Korean spies.

I dropped this drama last year but I rewatched on 29 June 2024 after watching a Facebook video about the romance between Kim Doo Shik and Lee My Hun. I love the chmistry between these two actors.

I enjoyed this drama very much which is rare because I dislike scifi dramas. This one stands out.

This show is good but..

For me this show is great from the action scene, acting of all actors and lastly production but...
There something unclear..

The POWER SYSTEM---

- How will you determine your own strength if someone has same ability as you??

-How will you determine your chances to defeat your enemy if he has same ability as you?

I DONT WANT TO GET AN REASON LIKE

" Because they are main character, they need to win."

Poor writing character for the villain ( Not for north koreans but for NSI chief and tracker old man)

They are EASY KILL..

Conclusion:

I love this show but those question, dont give good reason to rate it higher.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " Moving " is a supernatural thriller about humans born with supernatural abilities who try to live a normal life, sheltered from those who try to use them as weapons.

The drama's pace feels off at first, but the viewer quickly settles into its rhythm, as the episodes slowly reveal each character and their past, binding everything together in the final episodes, where the tension has reached its boiling point and the big battle erupts. The idea of having each character presented in different episodes before moving on to the main plot was brilliant and it worked nicely as to create the perfect suspense for the final episodes.

In addition, the atmosphere of the drama was spot on, with the bloody battle being gruesome, but the story having enough humanity and heartwarming moments to create the perfect blend.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the excessive cast, and the CGI along with the fighting scenes were top-notch.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

You can't fly well because you're afraid of falling

The combination of superhuman abilities, intense action sequences, and a top-notch cast was a thrilling experience!!!!!!!!!

The way they structured the plot, weaving together the perspectives of both students and parents was a clever move. The fact that it seamlessly weaves between past events and the present adds an extra layer of complexity and intrigue to the narrative.

It's impressive that, despite the fantastical elements of superpowers, the series maintains a grounded feel, emphasizing the in-depth relationships between characters. They put effort into developing each character, making them all unique and impactful. The star-studded cast is impressive, and it's great to see both seasoned actors and rookies delivering outstanding performances. The blend of action, drama, romance, and humor suggests a well-rounded and engaging story. The cinematography and music, they really know how to set the mood and enhance the viewing experience.

In terms of the plot, the structure is clear-cut. Approximately seven episodes focus on the present, delving into the lives of the younger generation with themes of high school romance, teenage self-discovery, and generational conflicts. The subsequent episodes shift to the past, where the parents take center stage, exposing harsh realities such as manipulation, betrayal, social stigma, and the challenges of child protection. Both segments offer compelling narratives. The final episodes deliver edge-of-your-seat action sequences, featuring an ensemble cast.

For those still on the fence, I wholeheartedly recommend this drama. It stands out as one of the best of the year, presenting a unique and refreshing addition.

Emotional storytelling that goes beyond the superhero angle

Moving really surprised me—in a good way. I went in expecting a typical superpowered drama, but what I got was something way more emotional and character-driven. It’s not just about people with abilities—it’s about family, sacrifice, and how much people are willing to risk to protect the ones they love.

The way the story was told—through different character arcs and timelines—made it feel fresh. Some parts are slow, especially early on, but once it picks up, you get totally drawn in. The action scenes are slick, but what really sticks with you are the quiet, emotional moments. Certain episodes (you’ll know which ones) hit hard.

The cast absolutely delivered, especially the parents’ storyline—it gave the whole show this emotional weight I wasn’t expecting. Not everything landed perfectly (some side characters felt rushed), but overall, Moving was a solid ride with a strong heart.

Pros:
✔ Emotional storytelling that goes beyond the superhero angle
✔ Strong performances and great chemistry between the cast
✔ Cinematic visuals with well-done fight scenes
✔ A refreshing take on powers and responsibility

Cons:
✘ A slow build at the beginning
✘ A few side plots could’ve used more closure
