Remember the TV series "HEROES"
The TV series Heroes are individual with superhuman talent although this is quite a unique story in a sense that they want to dissect every origin of the character but the 20 episode were not able to provide the true climax of the series and probably there's gonna be a sequel or season 2. This is my first time doing reviews because of Han Hyo Joo, I'm a big fan, I did watched her other TV series, the producer of Jason Bourne. "Treadstone" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaAa_Pw6m-M) and she really kicked a**. The cast are great and most likely another big names in the industry will collaborate for the next season... if ever.Was this review helpful to you?

not sure about this...
so, as my favourite male actor is Park Hee-soon, I was waiting for this drama quite eagerly.Also several other great actors on the starring list, so I started watching this and...
...I don't know... story is known from other formats before with some variations (x men etc.), the story starts veeery slowly, and I was just waiting for something to... happen really? I have seen 8 episodes yet, not Park Hee-soon in sight? Is he really in this drama?
Not sure about the storyline either, so genetically gifted people have genetically gifted kids and they try to hide and protect them from the evil forces of the North? I will give this another chance and watch some more episodes, but as of yet I am a bit underwhelmed.

The Unusual Thriller
May I dare say Moving is undoubtedly one of the best dramas of 2023!Hands down to every single person, from the cast to the production staff...SALUTE!!
I rather started late watching the series, after 17 episodes came out in two weeks. But the show got me so glued to it that I ended watching the released 17 episodes in a few hours of matter, that how much the intriguing the show was. I generally ain't a fan of superpower or superhero genre. But yah, here I am waiting impatiently for another season.
The biggest CLAP deserves Kim Feel, the OG writer of the manga series. The cast? OUTSTANDING!! With a star-studded cast like Han Hyo Joo, Jo In Sung, Ryoo Seung Ryong, Kim Sung Kyun, Cha Tae Hyun in the parents generation and the super talented newbies cast could the drama have gone wrong? This was the BESTEST cast ever for a top-notch drama like that. Apart from the main casts, the antagonists they have given their 10000000% to indulge in the roles. The cinematography, use of proper CGI effects, the BGMs everything was so just perfect.
Also the storyline and it's flow was so DAMN GOOD! Every single character getting their individual story narrated, their entanglements showed in the most simplest way. I absolutely loved even how the antagonists had their story narrated and how they ended up where they were. Such good storytelling.
The kids and the parents relationship was the main objective right? Did they fail? NO....absolute win.
And last but not the least, the way the Northern Antagonists were represented, clap clap clap! For once they were not the bad guys and instead victims to the systems who sacrifices the innocent lives. As Park Hee Son said in the final episode, "The people are innocent. Those who force sacrifices are to blame."
So I loved the whole thing. HHJ posted the poster on her IG captioning the post "I'm truly proud of this show. Go Moving"...Even I as an admirer of the whole cast would sincerely say "I am truly proud of this show!"

WHAT A DRAAMAAAA
This drama exceeded my expectations in many ways, and having Jo Insung in the cast was a guarantee of quality from the start. His presence added a layer of excellence to the entire show.I must admit that I didn't connect with the children's storyline as much as I had hoped. At times, it felt a bit too cloying and relied on clichés that I've seen before in similar dramas. However, this was a minor setback considering the depth and complexity of the adult characters' stories.
The various narratives involving the adults were emotionally powerful, with Joo Won's story being particularly heart-wrenching. I found myself shedding tears as I watched these characters navigate their challenges and personal growth.
One aspect I didn't appreciate was the open-ended ending. While it might hint at the possibility of a new season(I hope no!), I personally won't be tuning in for it. For me, the magic of this drama lies in the seniors' performances, and I believe that their stories have been beautifully told and don't necessarily need continuation.
Despite some violence and numerous sci-fi elements, this drama truly deserves the praise it has received. It's a solid 10, but it's also one of those shows that I won't rewatch in the future. The first viewing was a truly special experience, and it's one that I believe can't be replicated. Overall, a remarkable drama that tugged at my heartstrings and left a lasting impression

Moving: A Must-Watch for Fans of Fantasy and Action K-Dramas
Moving is a new K-drama on Disney+ that takes a fresh and exciting look at the superhero genre. The series follows a group of retired superheroes and their children, who are now trying to live normal lives. However, when their past comes back to haunt them, they must once again use their powers to protect the people they love.One of the things that sets Moving apart from other superhero stories is its focus on family. The series explores the complex relationships between parents and children, as well as the challenges of living with extraordinary abilities. The characters are all well-developed and relatable, and their relationships with each other are one of the highlights of the show.
Moving also features some of the best action sequences ever seen in a K-drama. The fight choreography is innovative and exciting, and the CGI is top-notch. The action scenes are also well-integrated into the story, and they never feel gratuitous.
Overall, Moving is a superb K-drama that is sure to appeal to fans of fantasy, action, and family dramas. The acting is superb, the action is extraordinary, and the story is compelling. If you're looking for a new K-drama to watch, I highly recommend Moving.
Opinion:
I completely agree with your opinion that Moving is a very good fantasy K-drama. It is one of the most exciting and well-made K-dramas I have ever seen. The story is interesting, the acting is OMG, and the action is extraordinary. I highly recommend Moving to anyone looking for a new and exciting K-drama to watch.

K-drama of the year
The script is so well written that it doesn't give you a moment to relax, the cast is exceptional at their job. You're most likely to remember the characters for life.A fantasy supernatural drama but touching some of the very real dilemmas in the world. I was most impressed with the way even the supposedly villains have a back story and you'd rather not hate them but feel bad for them.
It's witty, it's emotional, it's romantic, it's very human. Maybe that is the crux of it, super humans are also humans at the end of the day.

Moving Lives Up to Its Title
After putting this on hold for a year, I finally got around to watching it. I regret not completing this sooner!I have so much to say about this drama! First of all, it was so good I just couldn't stop watching. Before I knew it, I had already reached the last episode and was hoping for more. Moving is a rare gem, and I'm glad that I chose to watch it. It's story is unique and the comedy was never off. The plot and sub-plots were great and kept me hooked. Many of the scenes left a big impact on me. Everything is just so perfect.
The way the characters were written is definitely my favorite part about the whole thing. The characters are so well-written and in-depth that you're able to understand each person. The good and the bad, I was able to feel for the characters. I was able to understand how they became who they are because it showed us how each character had a story and had reasons. Bonus: the cast was so perfect for this. Personally, Juwon became my favorite character, and I think Ryu Seungryong was a fantastic match for him. (His "theme song" always had me hyped!)
Despite the silly CGI moments and the insane amount of violence, I really enjoyed it. Just like the title says, moving is very "moving." I read somewhere that Moving was about unconditional love; I couldn't agree more.
I'm so glad they announced a season 2 with the same writer (also glad they were able to get a higher budget!). I hope it'll be just as good or even better. I can't wait for more!

one word: perfect.
I'm not someone who particularly enjoys the action genre, I always thought it was kind of "boring." So I dropped Moving at first, assuming it was just another typical action K-drama.But I was wrong.
It far exceeded my expectations.
Moving might just be the best K-drama I've ever seen. From the characters, their development, to the storyline—everything was incredibly engaging.
Even though I occasionally skipped a few minutes during the backstories of the former agents (like Juwon, Mihyun, Doosik, etc.), I still thoroughly enjoyed the drama.
Everyone should watch Moving at least once in their lifetime.

Pleasantly surprised
I’ve been in a kdrama slump for so long and I’ve pretty much given up on them so I started with very little expectations. I cannot believe that they managed to make me be attached to every single character in the series.Saw that it got renewed for another season which is surprising aince the budget must’ve been so insane for this. Not only did they cast a bunch of known actors, there’s a lot CGI (though it can be a bit bad at times) and sets.
Anyways all the technical stuff aside, the story is definitely what I loved the most but there are some parts where I felt like they didn’t address enough though:
— The Lightning Hero (I’m bad with names) literally wrecked two buses (1 when he was chasing frank, another 1 when he went in the school to help bongseok) and violated a bunch of traffic laws, how is he still not fired or at least reprimanded from his job? I guess it happened off-screen but why did they not show it?
— What happened with Bang Kisoo? Why did the sub teacher have to do that to him? Will this be addressed later on or did they forget this plot (hopefully not)?
Things that I’m excited about and hopefully get addressed in the next season:
— The whole end credits scene.
** With the change of the head of NIS, I think Jaeman’s criminal history is not going to be erased and NIS would definitely be more brutal about how they handle things because there’s no way that guy will compromise and would accept if things doesn’t go his way, Mr. Min might’ve been a big POS but I bet that new head will be much worse.
** Frank still being alive. I had a hunch that he must’ve been alive but when I saw Gyongpo did not get his eye back and it’s very much possible to not get certain body parts back, I thought that it’s possible he’s actually dead but alas he is alive and maybe that mean his regenerative powers are much more powerful than Gyeongpo’s. He’ll probably be an ally at some point since when he killed more and more people (especially that hair salon lady), he felt guilty and more sympathetic to his victims.
** ABCDEF. Seeing that Frank was the last person to finish the test must mean that he probably was the weakest out of the bunch. So they’re probably probably going to be strong af and I’m hyped to see their powers.
— The rat investigator dying. I bet he investigated too close to the sun and find out something he shouldn’t have, the question is what did he find out that he has to be killed?
— Kim Dooshik. Obviously he had the clapper’s treatment in North Korea but I think they’ll get more in depth in later episodes.
— Timestopper student. I mean what? This is so OP. He apparently transferred, so is he still an agent in South Korea? Or were they recruited by North Korea (doubt since it seemed like they sent every single one to get the trainees in the South) or US? Or did no one know that this student had that power? I’m just imagining it ain’t no way they’ll be able to defeat this guy.
WHAT A SERIES. I am so excited and hopefully the next season will be good!!

jang juwon, heesoo's father
i got to know this drama because i saw people saying it was good so i wanted to give it a try. im not gonna lie, at first it was hard for me to get involved in the story, like i felt that everything that happened in the beginning wasnt that important to me. the guy who was k*lling people and looking out for their children was confusing to me. i know i needed to keep watching tho but i stopped doing it for a while before i decided to watch it again and it was when it started to get better. (as you can see, i enjoyed it way more so dont jump at me)i especially want to talk about juwon. i liked the backstories about bongseok and heesoo's parents but juwon's just got a place in my heart.
he was a gangster, he wasnt afraid of anything since he could heal and kind of didnt die. then, after his boss got something like a partnership with a guy because he wanted money and jungwon didnt want to. he was doing it for their men, not because he will get something out of it. at the end, he found out he got betrayed by his boss so he let him drown in the car they were. he got revenge from the guy also betrayed him.
later, he let people ran over him just to get money to keep living at a motel, where he ends up meeting his wife, jihee. at the street, he was looking for the motel if i remember correctly. he saw her and asked her for directions, she gave it to him but got lost and when they saw each other again, he was crying and their love story started.
it was so cute, the way he took care of her all the time and was such a gentleman :( it broke my heart when he got the news that his wife had passed away. he took care of heesoo the first days at the hospital, and then went to see jihee at the morgue. he literally got in the elevator and started sobbing uncontrollably even when he changed his clothes and i was also crying so hard.
i know he was a really good father, and also a really good husband and i just love him so so much. i dont know if people do it, but i hope he has a lot of attention, too.
