2023 BEST KDRAMA
drama series that is perfect in terms of story, actors and actresses who are amazingly cool and supporting roles that are no less cool than the main character of the story that is very touching makes me pity and sad at the same time every detail really amazes me and wonders why there is a story as good as this? good shooting moving so far is still in the best drama airing in 2023 and maybe the best in my opinion this drama in terms of casting the main and supporting players is no joke they are all involved in this story I am very amazed and the best in editing and cool visual effects this drama should win a lot of trophies at the annual best drama event and deserves it.I don't really expect there to be a season 2 but so far the ending is enough for me.
All of them should watch moving because there is no loss to watch it
I don't know if the writer will make moving season 2? We will never know
Even if there is a season 2, hopefully the formation of the players will not change.
Maybe if it changes it's a little awkward but it's okay, I'll enjoy it.

a masterpiece
Dear lord i dont know where to begin AHAHAHAa masterpiece really, probably one of the best dramas of the century and in kdrama history. where do I start…
the plot, super solid. so well developed and so well executed that the whole drama got me on the edge of my seat and i was so invested. the first episode already got me hooked. the way they also integrated the backstories of each character was too good that i was able to watch everythibg without getting bored. the action scenes? LEGENDARY. THE ROMANCE? masterpiece for real. someone give the scripwriter an award i beg you.
now the OST, goddamn everytime i hear guryongpo’s soundtrack chills go up my spine and i smirk cuz damn. the music really fit the vibe of the entire drama.
now wow the characters. the actor and actress selection was so well thought of. who knew id be here watching han hyo joo playing a mother role WITH UNBELIEVABLE CHEMISTRY WITH ZO IN SUNG? they should be married irl. also casting go younjung, thank you director so much. bongseok and ganghoon are now part of my celeb crush list.
gosh its my first review and im not used to this… but all i can say is. this drama was definitely worth my time. and no matter how many times i rewatch, I’ll definitely fall in love with it even more. thank you so much for giving us an amazing drama and a happy ending.
DEFINITELY WAITING FOR A SEASON 2??

Childhood Nostalgia
This is my first review so please bare with me if there are any mistakes etc etc...Cast/Acting:
In terms of characters I think this is one of the BEST dramas I have ever seen with people that represent their character so perfectly, not to mention the dedication to fit as well. Their acting and emotions all looked real and no one seemed out of place either. It was very interesting to see the diversity in them as well in terms of characters and the addition of a mentally handicapped too.
The relationship between Bongseok and Heesoo mainly stuck out to me, I couldn't get enough of their contrasting personalities and just their overall cuteness of constant support and worry for each other.
Storyline/Filming:
I adored the storyline overall although I did start to become a little bored when they got into the parent's back stories, however I do have to say that I was not expecting such clear character links which blew me away, it all connected so perfectly as if it was some puzzle piece. The action and fight scenes were extremely clean too, big props to the film and editing team 100%. I seriously haven't seen a drama which makes the flying look so clean and realisitic(ngl I wish I could glide like that o:).
I think the thing I loved most is the old hero movie vibe that I got from this especially in the last two episodes, it really reminded me of all those childhood superhero shows and movies I used to love and how everyone comes together to help each other; in general just wholesome to the max.
don't forget...

Another must watch!
I’m going to be completely honest and say that i binged all 20 episodes in a span of 3 days. Which is insane. I’ve never binged a 20 episode kdrama so fast before, it just shows how good it is!Every episode fills you with anticipation for the next episode. Character building and plot pace both so well done, I literally have no complaints!
All of the actors did so well too, I like every ship and dynamic they added in the show.
I really hope there’s going to be a season 2, I know the actors would do a good job again!
Really good show! You won’t be disappointed watching it!!!

Balance In All Thing
I was pretty hyped when this was announced and it doesnt disappoint. I waited for the last ep to binge it and i finished the whole 20 eps in the weekend (lol). Probably best webtoon/manhwa adaptation ive seen so far.I love how they portray their struggle for basic daily life because of their power, not just the glorious and convenience aspect of having superpower. The actions scene are also neat but whats even more important is that they dont forget the character's dynamic and plot like most action story do. My favourite is Bongseok and Heesoo relationship, its *chef's kiss*, tho their parent's arent any less interesting either. All in all, story is pretty neat and tight, probably help that the source material isnt that long either.
Oh last but not least, flashback was so long it remind me of Turn Back the Pendulum (lol). Its nice tho hahaha

Moving in place
Moving is one of those shows that had all the tools to be a great but failed to meet its full potential because its lack of cohesiveness. It had the Budget, the actors, the music and everything in between. But how does a show that has everything come out to be only a subpar superhero action drama?The show did a great job at establishing its world and introducing its characters in its first act. However just as the show started to flush out what we thought were the main characters, it decides to hit PAUSE, go back in time and show the origin stories of their parents. The whole flash back fiasco lasted 8-11 episodes. It's not that it wasn't interesting, it was hard to follow. You're basically forced to reset and start over mid season.
The main issue with Moving is its cohesiveness, as it wasn't existent. The show said "Here's Plot A, oh shoot we forgot about the parents so here's Plot B-1 and Plot B-2. And oh yeah, we forgot about this guy so here's Plot C....okay now that everything's good lets go back to Plot A." The worse part is that They decided to tell Plot B-1 and B-2 at the same time focusing on two separate couples and their two separate stories. It was hard to stay engaged because you know where those characters end up in modern day. It would have been nice if the way they met each other was interesting and exciting but it was cliche and predictable.
You're basically spending all of act two waiting to get back to the modern day story line. Yeah cool stuff happens but its not enough to make you truly care.
This show was literally MOVING from plot line to plot line and made it hard to follow. YES it had great action scenes, FANTASTIC visual effects, and a soundtrack that will make you root for its characters, but it all means nothing if the story is hard to follow.
I will give the show its credit as the last 2-3 episodes managed to capture some of the excitement had in the beginning and ended things well, all things considered.
It's hard for me to recommend moving. If you wanted a superhero-vibe show just watch Marvel or DC. I can really only recommend moving if you're a fan of the cast as they do a really good job at playing their roles and honestly are the only reason why I managed to finish this 20 episode series.

Epic Last 4 Episodes
Overall this is a really good show and very enjoyable. The reason I am not giving it a 10 is b/c for me there was just way too many flashback episodes. I get that they wanted to give every main characters back story but it it just dragged on too long. It is an actioin drama with deptrh though. The other reason it's not getting a 10 is b/c sometimes this show did the stupidest things. In episode 14 they could have got the little boy out of the sewer by having Jaemin rip the grate out of the wall but no they had to show them punching through a wall. They also did this when Juwon was trying to get to Ji hee in the prior episode.There were some genuinely sad and emotional scenes and for me the one at the beginning of the last episode just had me bawling. When Jaeseok the NK guy with the earthquake/sonic boom powers dies. In that moment when he told Yongdeuk to go and live like a human the tears just started falling!! That shit broke me.
What the writer(s) did very well is giving us these not so easy, black and white issues of who is wrong and who is right. I mean I felt just as empathetic to the North Koreans as I did to our heroes or "the good guys". It was bad situation for everyone all around.
This is an excellent ensemble drama and the cast is amazing.

Is it truly the end?
A drama worth to watch, who leaves you pondering about many things.Careful, spoilers are down below.
This drama shows the stories of families struggling in the midst of a war for power between countries.
Here are the reasons why.
In episode 20, the North Korean agent mentioned to his superior that this conflict repeated itself for 50 years, that North Korea sent Kim Shinjo first and then South Korea sent Kim Doo Sik after.
Am I the only one who thinks it hints on a background for the Kim family story?
Does that mean that Kim Doo Sik is Kim Shinjo's son? Which would make Kim Doo Sik NK from his father.
Is the NK agent who can fly related to them then?
Kim Doo Sik mentioned that when he was a baby, he could fly, that his father left him a knife, and that all his life he lived in the shadows. Why does it seem as though he was raised by the NIS? Maybe the leader boss of the NIS, the woman who doesn't age is involved in this, she most likely was there 50 years ago and planned it thorough.
This drama left me more questions unanswered that I thought.
It was truly amazing. I loved it all, the stories were so impactful.
It also opened a new perspective of the superhero genre.
Most of the time, stories about heros are about saving the world, the characters fight against a supervillain, either a crazy scientist or a rich dude that just wants to control the world.
But here, it shows more the perspective of what if people with powers were discovered by their governments, and what if those governments used them as weapons for their own conflicts?
Superpowered people are the new weapons of the countries, in the same way that nuclear bombs are. They work in the shadows for the sake of their countries.
This drama presents the start of an arm race between governments and how this arm race neglects the rights of the humans involved, and it shows this in a beautiful way through the lives of those families involved that struggle to protect their own.
It leaves a beautiful message about human rights and the fact that human beings are not meant to be weaponized or used in anyway.

1Tips on how not to construct your story - killing the vibe.
All I needed was more linear storytelling and I would be sold. If they paced the tension well and built up the story, by the finale I would be jumping from excitement. Sadly, the weird jumping between the plot lines and cutting off the hype with weirdly placed cliff hangers borderline ruined the show for me.I definitely did like all the separate plotlines, but the way they were presented was honestly harming the amount of focus and attachment I had to the story and the characters. The moment I was invested they switched to a different character’s story and it made me frustrated and want to just skip whatever new plot they were presenting to get closure from the one I was watching so far. Does it all present a cohesive picture by the end? Sure. Was it the best way to present the plot? Not for me.
What this drama has: fun action scenes, characters you want to root for, good chemistry between actors, solid variety of backgrounds and motivations, easy to follow plot, great performances.
What it does not have: real meaningful message, interesting villains, good CGI, balance between the characters and plots.
Surprisingly with a rather detailed plot and world building, fun characters, stellar cast I do not really have that much to say about this drama? Weirdly it felt rather empty. The characters I was the most interested in and felt like they had the most potential (Frank and Lee Gang Hun) did not get enough screen time which was also a bummer.
Also, me the whole show: so like… where the fuck is Kim Du Sik?
The writer truly shot themselves in the foot with this one. Creating a character that is presented as unstoppable, best of the best to then keep them behind the scenes and never truly use their full potential. Probably the biggest disappointment.

Everything's good.
Apparently its one of the rarest K dramas ever. Everything is good here, acting, cast, music, story, character development, you name it. tbh, I have no idea how did korea come up with this, because you see, these losers are known for making flowerboy garbage romantic stories all the time so THIS one is a complete refresher and I never expected such a show from korea.Yes it has gore/blood in it. this show was a solid 8/10 then when I saw the ending I realized its 9/10 because the ending is utterly satisfying and just like how its supposed to be. Its a supernatural story and has romance in it too.
