Moving (2023)

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

Likes
1. 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!

Não me moveu tanto assim

Moving foi uma desses dramas que demoraram pra me pegar, mas quando o vez, me vi assistindo 3 episódios em seguida (raro pra mim!!!). Achei uma graça os personagens adolescentes, principalmente o Bongseok! Uma pena que da metade para frente o foco sai deles e vai para os adultos. Porém, a história dos pais do Bongseok é tipo muito interessante e eu amei assistir os eps dedicados à ela. Os últimos 2 episódios foram muito difíceis de terminar porque focou muito em violência e na briga (que até hoje eu não entendi nada??? acho que deveriam ter contado ela de forma linear para não deixar duvidas como foi comigo. Motivo pelo qual eu tirei 1 estrela), então perdi muito do interesse no drama :( Infelizmente não fui uma das várias pessoas que amou essa história, uma pena pois sei que é boa.

A PERFECT SHOW FOR ALL THE SUPERHERO AND GOOD STORY LOVERS !!!!!!!

1. Story and screenplay - It has one of the best written story ( more credit to manhwa) , but the adaption is just awesome .The problem with these type of shows comes with the screenplay or the budget ...... but the visuals , the action here is soo good .... as same to the Hollywood's level.
2. Acting - The cast , there acting is absolute perfect with no extra corniness . Other than Han Hyo joo the other actors are not too famous , but don't care about that there acting is top notch. Both adult and children roles are performed accurately.
3. Rest things - Like pace or backstories are handled with great use of time parallels in the main leads.
4. Characters to watch for :- THE adult MAIN LEADS (all three of them) with the younger MAIN LEADS (the pair) .

Como siempre, todo es la culpa de los malos gobiernos.

Adoró los finales felices y este drama me dio un buen final, incluso con esperanzas para una segunda temporada, pero si no la deciden hacer por mi estaria bien.

Moving mas que ser una historia de super héroes, que intentan salvar a los humanos, es sobre la lucha contra los malos gobiernos y la manera en que estos los controlan a través de sus familias.
La menera que los superhumanos protegen a sus familias fue muy conmovedor y definitivamente padres son los verdaderos heroes de esta historia.

El cast estuvo increíble y las escenas de acción fue de lo mejor; confieso que senti un poco de relleno en los primeros y últimos capítulos pero, se los paso porque en general el drama me gustó mucho.
Sin duda uno de los mejores dramas de lo que va del 2023.

Excellent Production - with Loads and Loads of Violence on the Side

Ahhh i don't want to be one of the few who were slightly disappointed with the show overall, because i can see so many extremely enthusiastic comments.
___________________________________________________________
For those worried about the violence, here's all you need to be wary of(spoiler free, without naming anyone):
VIOLENT CONTENT:
A character's head is cut off, and the camera stays on the decapitated corpse. The camera lingers on all the mutilated bodies. Blood pours generously over everyone and everything. Characters are repeatedly run over, stabbed with knives/needles, hit with clubs, mercilessly, recklessly shot(all kinds of guns, from pistols to sub-machine guns), electrocuted, drowned, rammed into walls, bones broken/dislocated. Many of the murders are done callously, with no real time to register shock or emotion. A character who can heal himself is subject to every kind of graphic violence imaginable, and cuts open his abdomen to make a point. An eye is squelched out. Limbs are blown off. Hands dipped in boiling oil. A skeletal corpse, people imprisoned in dark dungeons.
Multiple suicides by jumping/falling off high places.

AGAINST MINORS:
Scene where children are being abused(Violent, not sexual) by men in military uniforms/skin branded/shot at/made to kill each other(not shown in detail, but you can gather the idea).
Students are subjected to bullying. Extreme 17-to-1 catfight near school premises among female high-schoolers where the intention is clearly to kill(Weapons include a club and a retractable blade).
___________________________________________________________
Just finished watching, I'm unsure of how exactly I feel... the production was obviously freaking awesome, the cast did an amazing job with their characters, the plot was intriguing and full of action. Sometimes they dragged out scenes to heighten tension, but there's a line between tension and plain boring, and they crossed it a lot. The VFX and screenplay was absolutely stunning, but all the death, gore, and gratituous, callous violence got to me after a while. I thought I'd be scared or traumatized, but I got sick of it after a while. They use a main character with regenerative powers(Jang Juwon, played by Ryu Seung Ryong) to inflict and sustain every type of horrible violence imaginable. The characters I actually liked didn't get enough screen time(except Han Hyo Joo, who was amazing, as always). Zo In Sung was my favorite, playing the cool, badass, flying superhero so so well(he was also the least violent but smartest good guy, so go figure). Everyone's back-stories are beautifully written.

The kids storylines were initially a big snoozefest, but got better later, around Ep 7. Again, my favorite character, Lee Ganghoon, played by the cutie rookie from The Law Cafe, didn't get as much screentime as I would have liked, and he was the one with the most layered, intriguing personality. His story with his super-strong, mentally impaired dad jut kept bringing tears to my eyes. I would have had Second Lead Syndrome if this was a classic Kdrama, but the romance was the least interesting thing about the kids anyway. I didn't have the time or patience to watch them fall in love, and every moment was excruciatingly slow.

I'd recommend watching it for the plot and production, as long as you're okay with constant, extremely graphic violence. Many, many characters die gruesome deaths, with the camera lingering on their grossly mutilated bodies, but we don't really get to know them well enough to care. It just highlights the absolutely tragic pointlessness of war, and how it's the common people who always suffer most.

They tied up the ending for the main characters pretty fine, but hint heavily at a season 2. Lots of open endings with the overarching crime plot/villain-scheming...
I feel a sense of fatigue with all the repeated violence, and the attempts at bringing heart-rending scenes kinda fell flat most of the time, imo. I only really cried once, and that was when a bunch of young ordinary soldiers(none of whom we know and who we never see again) die in an NK-SK superhuman scuffle, and that's because I cannot stand such scenes no matter what show. Watching high-seated officials send young boys into meaningless death and destruction makes me see red and bawl my eyes out.

Moved up my list of best shows in 2023

With this line-up for a cast (I mean they had, Cha Taehyun, Ryu Seong Ryong, Han Jyo Joo, Kim Sung Kyung), a popular webtoon that already has a healthy following and Dalparan (music director/composer for the Good, the Bad, the Weird, and Secretly, Greatly, Kingdom) participating in the OST, this was firming up to be epic. The genre (supernatural, fantasy, action, romance) was also right up my alley and needless to say my expectations were pretty high; and i'm glad i wasn't disappointed. I waited for all the episodes to be out before binge watching and did not regret this decision; can only imagine the painful wait I would have had to endure for some episodes with the type of cliff-hangers they were dishing out.
This has easily become one of my favorite dramas of 2023. There's so much to like! The innocent, sweet blossoming romance between the 2 young leads (i struggle with identifying the MC because each character could well be a MC of their own), the heart tugging back stories of their parents and the villains which helped us understand why they did what they did, the amazing action scenes (ok there were some rather questionable CGI scenes, like when the characters had to be made to look younger, but it's a TV production so i'll give it a discount), the fantastic acting (MCs and supporting cast included), the comic book style inspired cinematography, and the satisfying OST. Happy to report that there weren't any overly cringey dialogues, which tend to happen in webtoon, manga or anime adaptations.
Rated the rewatch value lower only because I don't usually rewatch shows and I fear that a rewatch would just make the experience less satisfying given how good it was the first time around.
