Stellar Performance Throughout, Fell Short at The Finale
SPOILER-FREE PARTFollowing the hype surrounding this drama, I decided to give it a watch.. and oh boy did they put something into it, cause' I couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen!
Looking at Moving’s (무빙) synopsis alone, although the premise isn’t entirely new to cinema, it definitely stands as one of the more well-produced ones, both in cinematography and script. For me, there were no complaints for the cinematography, as lighting, shots, angles, ambiance, and special effects were all done immaculately. I am an avid fan of dramas that don’t shy away from gore and the knitty-gritty details. The drama may be a bit extreme and bloody, but ultimately contributes to its incredible ambiance.
Acting-wise, you can just look at the lineup and can’t help feel content that you’re not wasting your time seeing emotionless characters and botched crying scenes. Also, can we just give a quick round of applause to the young actors? Admittedly, Korean cinema is filled with so many young talents, and Moving greatly demonstrated their potential to the world.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Looking at the plot, the synopsis is as straightforward as it can be. It doesn’t take much effort to understand what’s going on, courtesy of the dramas excellent worldbuilding and pacing, which sits at a comfortable level that keeps you on the edge of your seat, eyes locked in and all— at the right time. It also leaves you anticipating for the next episode to come out— a suspense factor, which is something I feel most action and thriller dramas lack nowadays, along with its unpredictability. Character relationships developed steadily and didn’t feel awkward or draggy. Despite that, the flow of the drama felt a bit off and confusing at times (at least for me). Keep in mind that this drama is flashback galore. We spend a good chunk in the past, so the present timeline feels more like a side story than the main. Adding to this, certain important events that occur throughout the drama tend to appear in mixed order, so not chronilogically, so it takes a bit of effort piecing this event with another and constructing a mental timeline of what events took place first, and how it later contributes to a future event. To my disappointment, I was left with quite a lot of plot holes, even after the story wrapped up, from the SCAs ultimate goal (why are they actively hiring someone to assassinate the Korean supernaturals, the breeding program that was briefly mentioned by the leader of the NIS, Kim Dooshik’s whereabouts, Ki-Soo’s ankle scar and its relation to the temp teacher, the headmasters assassination, and the mysterious identity shrouding the bullied classmate.
I would’ve also liked to see more of Gang-Hoon, as he had a rather weak presence throughout the drama. His story was just so.. lackluster compared to Bong-Seok’s and Hee-Soo’s.
Meanwhile, the ending felt rushed and just.. incomplete. I didn’t read the original webtoon, but I heard that the drama adaptation strayed quite a bit from its source material, so if there was a chance to revise the script, I would’ve definitely extended the drama’s length to tie up some of those loose ends.
If you’re unfamiliar with how I rate a drama’s storyline, check out my bio! Today’s ride scores a C!
SPOILER-FREE PART
Nonetheless, it was an awesome binge. Was it a masterpiece? No. However, it was still well worth the watch. I would recommend Moving for anyone. After all, you really can’t go wrong with a good superhero-themed drama to comfort your inner child with.

BEST KDRAMA OF 2023
OMGGG I LOVED THE WHOLE PLOT AND STORY...overall the kdrama was perfectthe cast was perfect.
I loved how they built suspense about what is happening in the whole story..
I really liked the past stories of how lee min hyun and Kim dooshik met...my personal fav was the love story of jang suwon and jeehi...also jangjuwon with his regenerative powers and Kim dooshik with his flying abilities was the best duo..
I loved how the drama portrayed the beautiful relationship of parent and their child. and the little teen romance between bongseok and huisoo was the cutest!!
one thing I would like to share is how in the last few episodes they made us empathise with the North Korean villains..like WHY AM I CRYING OVER A BAD GUY'S DEATH??
~SOME OF MY FAV SCENES~
1. baby bongseok and Kim dooshik's scene of flying in the sky above clouds
2. loved the scene in the end of how bongseok carries his injured mom...it made me emotional how in the beginning his mom used to go around him on her back

Not a one we often get
One of the finest dramas of 2023 so far. All characters have their own interesting stories. But there is not enough time to explore them.The cast look perfect which is another hooking element . All of them did their roles well. Rooting for kimBongSeok and JungHuisoo😘.They are cute together.
Never a fan of HanHyoJoo. But I like her here . Her chemistry with JoInSung!😍❤️
But their story was not enough for me.
And the family finally got together. Could have shown a little more of their family time with the Adorable BongSeok. 😞🤧
Huisoo and her father. My most favourite. Father's love for daughter🤧. My weakness. Also the actress who played huisoo's mom looked somewhat similar to her. That actually gave the feeling of them as Real mom and daughter.
And the adorable family of KangHoon, their Teacher, the student kiSoo. Bungaeman. Liked all the characters.
The villains are the poorest souls. Just like the heroes, they wanted to protect their family too. Felt bad for them. 🤧 The flying man, Giant Guy. And The one who can make waves by his hands. My heart just sank for him. He just wanted die in the end, still they didn't leave him alone. 😔. Glad the giant guy ended up with huisoo and her father, no matter however it happened. In the end everyone wanted to survive and live on.
The girl who can see through. Somewhat guessed her to be alive. But her position right now is shocking. What the heck really happened with her. Her mom tried to prevent her from going there. She still chose to go to there. She is one mystery.
But wish to see the guy who can manipulate time if there season 2 on the way.
Also the guy Alex. Expected him to be alive too. The question is, what side will he choose to stand with if there is season 2.
Should have had more episodes and each episode should have little more length.
Overall a Roller coaster ride.

Masterpiece after a while!
I watched this Action-packed Korean drama “Moving” because of the reels. At first, I thought it would be boring office drama BUT I was so wrong when I started watching… It turns out to be one of the BEST KDRAMA OF 2023.This is the only Kdrama of 2023 that I give 9.5 out of 10 😍 after so long I give any drama this rating. It is so amazing, filled with Multistars, action, emotions, slow-burn romance, superpowers, and whatnot… it is perfect in every aspect.
It is a big-budget multi-starred series where writer Kang Full gives each character their backstory. Every actor and supporting cast of this series did their work with so much dedication that you didn’t question of Han Hyo Joo playing the role of a teen mom Lee Mi Hyun.
Bong Seok can fly but isn’t allowed by his mother, so he tries everything to hide it. Hee Soo possesses exceptional athleticism and rapid injury recovery & isn’t aware until she faces an incident that leads her to join a new school and Gang Hoon wields uncanny strength and speed and is being trained by NIS to later join them.
Every episode of this series starts with a new character, their superpower, and their story. While the first half focused on the teens other half was dedicated to their parents' lives, the struggle to hide their kids, and the urge to protect them won’t let you hold your tears.
Meanwhile, the villains of the story have their own backstory which makes you sympathize with them instead of hating. The supporting characters like Choi Il Hwan (Kim Hee Won) PE teacher, and Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun) bus driver have a very significant impact on the story.
The screenplay is not too fast, not too slow, just the right amount of humor, and the slow-burn romance between the main characters Lee Mi-hyun and Kim Doo-sik urges you to ask for more, the cute romance of Jang Joo Won and Hwang Ji Hee is so innocent. Also, the teen romance between Bong Seok and Hee Soo makes you giggle.
The background music is perfect, and the VFX of the fighting scenes was amazing but could be better in a few scenes, like where Kim Bong Seok was breaking the glass while saving Hee Soo.
The action scenes are no joke, Jang Ju-won (Ryu Seung-ryong) fighting scenes literally remind you of Hulk and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) action scenes and the faceoff was so rizz… He is still the most powerful but… Imagine if this character didn’t have any mental challenges then?
Now about the ending, Unexpectedly where other KDramas are giving realistic endings Moving has a happy ending with the potential of next season. Hence, not the director nor the writer announced anything about next season but fans demanding it, so, you can understand the popularity.
IMO, this is a must-watch Kdrama series if you are a fan of action and/or romance you would definitely gonna love this. 💜😍

as always, typical korean dramas
as always, too much stupid character created by writer. i mean, how the diplomats deal with situation, like a kids dealing with candy fight. and about the bullying at school, there are many cameras and eye watching. how come its decided as oneside persecution by the thoose stupid teacher? no investigation?the story was 1 against 17? i mean 1 single lady fought 16 bullying gals +1 man with baseball bat? with over thousend camera and eyes ? thats all the out come? kicked out? and just be hosnest.. this is just x-man copying with little bit change on it.. droped at 6. cant bare anymore stupity rised to take viewer emotion. that trick is so lame.Was this review helpful to you?
A show filled with love, but with a twist
I rarely write any rewiews, but this show was something else.Every last frame was perfectly timed, the music was perfectly placed. Even the fighting scenes had my heart racing.
„Moving“ shows what it’s like to have a different approach among the families. Yes love and the powers were the main reason for being very careful outside their houses, but they showed us how they handle it in the right way.
Every actor did such an amazing job playing their role, it was a rollercoaster of emotion, action packed with very messy scenes.
Overall a wonderful series, with a deep meaning behind of it. Waiting for season two will be hard, but than again if it drops it will be worth the wait.

It rember me a littel bit to the story of Herors, but a littel bit darker ;-) (deutsch / german)
(Heroes is an American mystery and science fiction television series that aired from September 25, 2006 to February 8, 2010)The Sory itself is quite bloodthirsty, so for people who don't like gore, please get eye patches :-)
What I thought was great is that the individual characters that play a role in the story were explained how they got that way, praise to the story writers. because that's how it was always explainable and how it fits into the whole story,
Question is is there a second season?
Material would be there, the only question is which stories the entire characters will then meet again.
Die Sory selbst ist rech Blutrünstig, also für Menschen die keine Gemätzel mögen bitte Augenklappen besorgen :-)
Was ich super fand ist, dass die einzelnen Charakter die in der Geschichte eine Rolle spielen erklärt wurden, wie sie so geworden sind, lob an die Geschichtenschreiber. denn so waren es auch immer erklärbar wie es zur gesamt Geschichte passt,
Frage ist gibt es ein e zweite staffel?
Matrial wäre da, ist nur die frage mit welchen geschichten die gesamt charaktäre dann sich wieder treffen.

What parents can do for their children
Likes1. My favorite character is Jang Juwon! His wailing when Jihee died had me in tears too.
2. Kim Bong Seok and Jang Hee Soo were cute. Esp Bongseok who was so fluffy and sweet with a big heart. When he floated for the first time.
3. Lee Mihyun and Kim Dushik live story in ep 8-9 was 🥰🥰🥰. All those glances, the flying donkatsu delivery. First kiss and Dusik floated. "I feel like I'm dying"
4. Lee Jae Man and his son's love for each other.
5. Bungaeman saving everyone in the end with super powerbank energy. The buses he crashed 🤣.
6. Even the Nokor stories were so sad. They were also victims.
7. Ilhwan who became a real teacher to the students.
8. How the parents fought so hard to protect their kids from the evil organization.
Dislikes
I dont even know what to write. Maybe more Kim Dusik scenes. Maybe more episodes (20 eps didnt seem that long). Wishing for Season 2.
Rating: 9.5/10

Moving is Riveting and Touching Story-Telling!
For anyone whose first time venturing into K-dramas, you’ve just unlocked a treasure-trove of some of the best shows in the world. As good as “Moving” is, there are a lot of “just as great” or even better shows out there. I’m speaking mostly to the Hulu/Disney subscribers rather than the Netflix ones.Moving is a tremendous series about generational people with special abilities. This isn’t your typical “superhero” series, which is a good thing. In many ways, it’s much better than that.
Over the last 30-35 years, people with special abilities have been slowly cropping up. Lee Mi Hyun has heightened senses (much like Daredevil). Kim Doo Shik has the ability to fly. He’s also a master marksman, capable of placing a bullet anywhere he wants. And Jang Joo Won has the ability to regenerate, making him virtually impossible to kill, although we later find that he cannot regenerate lost organs, like an eye. However, much like “Wolverine” he can’t get drunk or sick, although it’s never mentioned if he has a slower aging process. These three represent the first generation of people with special abilities, and of course, what do you think happens when the government finds out? Yes, they want to use them for their own sinister plots.
We also find that North Korea also has people with special abilities, and it doesn’t take long before one government is trying to outdo the other. And just because it’s North Korea doesn’t necessarily mean that things are so black and white. In fact, there is a lot of gray when it comes to both countries. Min Yong Joon is the evil South Korean member of the NIS (National Intelligence Service) whose sole desire to find those with special abilities and bring them into the fold…by whatever means necessary. His North Korean counterpart is no less diabolical. And we even find that the CIA is also involved, trying to oversee things in both countries!
We learn that special abilities can be handed down, and that the “next generation” inherits the abilities of both parents, if they have them. Kim Bong Seok is a sweet high school boy with an infectious smile and personality to boot. His mother, Lee Mi Hyun, does her best to protect him from being discovered, as Bong Seok can fly AND he also has his mother’s heightened senses as well. He gets ready for school with his mother putting weights on him in order to keep him on the ground. Whenever Bong Seok experiences happiness or joy, he automatically begins to float. This leads to a few hilarious moments, especially when he’s around Jang Hee Soo, Jang Joo Won’s daughter, who also has regenerative abilities.
There is also Lee Kang Hoon, who has enhanced speed and strength, which he inherited from his father, a simple-minded but equally sweet father who jumps from rooftop to rooftop much like the Hulk.
The Koreans are masters at their craft when it comes to writing. This 20-episode story begins with the children and shifts to the adults and how they came into being as well as their initial roles with the South Korean government, and finally we get an epic battle at the high school between North and South Korean superhumans, waging an all-out battle for control of the information. The end might surprise many in the way it shifts back to the real villains of the story: the respective governments.
The series is very much grounded in reality. When the children engage in battle for the first time, it’s very clear that they’ve never been in a fight. While they have special abilities, they have no experience, especially against those who do. What we get is a very dominating victory by the North Korean operative, and that’s exactly what would happen. Bong Seok looks very much like “The Greatest American Hero” during his first attempts to fly. And while Jang Hee Soo is athletic, she has no fighting abilities.
You may be surprised to find out that the last battle takes place over the last four episodes, but there is a lot of backstories that is told to give us a clearer picture as to what has happened to Kim Doo Shik (if he’s alive or dead) as well as what is happening in the South and North Korean governments. Koreans are superb at always revealing just enough, but not giving the viewer the whole picture until later. Therefore, many of our assumptions and perceptions end up being skewed and incomplete. In short, nothing is as it appears to be, and you cannot automatically declare the North Korean operatives as “bad guys” because we don’t know the whole story.
Joo Won is probably my favorite. The man is selfless and a man with a big heart. His romance with his wife is touching and heartfelt, and when he loses her, we share his anguish and despair. He struggles to live a life away from the NIS, but despite his abilities, he’s always roped back in. Of course, his primary motivation is to protect his daughter, and Lee Mi Hyun is no less dedicated. While overprotective and overbearing, her heart is in the right place.
Performances are first-rate across the board, from the actors portraying the adults to the ones portraying the children. At first, I was upset that they cut away from the kids to cover the adults, but their story is equally riveting, and soon, I couldn’t get enough of them either. This was beautifully done, because by the time the final battle begins, we’re fully vested in the adults as well as the children. A good “superhero” story always puts the human element first, rather than the abilities. Those who do this end up with a masterpiece, such as we have here. Why? Because in the end, we still want characters we can relate to.
Things are certainly left open-ended for a sequel series. “Uncanny Counter” and “Strong Girl Bong Soon Do” are still among my favorite series about people with special abilities, but this one is equally good! And at 20 episodes, you will certainly get your fill!

So worth it!
I just finished it and I was so pleasantly surprised.The trailer didn’t excite me much, but I decided to give it a watch because of the good reviews it has, I’m so glad I did!
All the characters were so well written, I loved the backstories and get that they gave the characters more life, if that makes any sense.
The parents were my favorite, it’s hard to not like them!
At first I thought it would be a simple young superheroes at school kind of story but it was anything but that!
It’s such a unique story, I can’t think of anything similar to this, Im super excited for the next season.
And with that cast you can’t really go wrong!
Highly recommending it!
