Humanity over Political Agendas

Moving is like a full season of western broadcast shows of yore like Heroes with 20 of 40 something minute episodes, except with possibly a bigger budget and better fight scenes. Heroes was allergic to the big fight scenes, closing the door when the fighters finally meet for it to happen off screen, but that's a whole other review. Han Hyo Joo is put to great use here as Lee Mi Hyeon, way better than Happiness where she was pushed to a back seat to the male lead once the romance entered the story. I'm always glad that she shifted to action based roles because she both humanizes her character with great acting while making her characters cool with great fight scenes. It's so fascinating that even with the no make up make up to give flaws and pores to her face to age her character to look older as her actual age difference with the actor who plays her son is just 11 years with her playing older and him playing younger, she still looks stunningly gorgeous. I really enjoyed how her character uses her supervision and hearing in conjunction with her top secret agent skills and quick thinking to eliminate her foes. The trick shot with the reflective surfaces and her rapid fire snow balls on the security cams were great. It's kinda sad though her son Bong Seok had inherited both his parent's powersets of flight and the super vision/hearing, he did not inherit his mom's survival instincts, though part of it could be due to her not teaching him what to watch out for and just to hide himself and keep himself down. He got lucky Frank was momentarily called off.

The drama does not take a position that any political entity that are using superpowered individuals are in the right, all of them are either complicit or the same in using these people as expendable pawns in their political ploys. The enemy combatants who were soldiers or agents needed to be stopped but they aren't allowed to be a one dimensional villain. Frank is assassinating the super power retirees who mostly have either complicated or very loving relationships with their children, on orders from the CIA, but he's show to feel bad when he goes to the funeral service of the woman he murdered to track down and kill her child, but finds that she's a great mother to many adopted children who felt just as loved by her as their sister that was her biological child. Frank was also technically and adopted child having been taken and trained through inhumane treatment by the CIA. Doo Sik thought he was sparing the North Korean soldier's lives by shooting them in an area that gives them the greatest chance to recover from if they get medical attention in time, but the soldier that was begging him not to enter the North Korean leader's room was not to protect the leader, but to protect all the soldiers from the consequence, which was execution which was what happened to all the other soldiers that survived. He then is tasked to cruelly brute force suspected superpowered individuals to awaken their powers by forcing off a cliff, to use their powers or die. If they manage to survive, they are forced to serve their country or their family's would die.

Some of these people were from the prison holes who would form a comraderies including one with Doo Sik who was caught in his second attack on North Korea that would lead to him finally being able to escape to reunite with his family. It's pretty ridiculous that he didn't bother to mask or do anything to hide his identity or country of origin, especially when he intended to leave a ton of witnesses alive during his first attack. He always showed a hubris in bucking his agency's protocols like not bothering to hide his identity to even his partner by only using code names, but he really though that would be fine on an assassination assignment in a foreign country. Absolutely ridiculous. Doo Sik was released by a fellow superpowered flying person. The variety of powers being limited to flying, strength, electricity, super hearing/vision is interesting, fast healing is interesting as well. It seems to be confined unless the off spring is from two super people thus giving them a combo. I'm shocked non of the agencies had breeding programs and they didn't know that the super abilities could be passed down to offspring until they saw toddler Ganghoon toss toss the swat team out of the apartment. Maybe that will be in the alleged season 2. Even though Ju Won lost an eye in the fight against the North Korean agents still adopting the big healing powered guy after that guy lost his only friend and was found sobbing by Hui Soo was sweet. Maybe Frank will eventually join their self healing family too. It's part of the ending which felt very rushed including Doo Sik killing director Min, Frank being alive, and other things. I respected it though because it has all the vibes of a show that found out it got cancelled and won't be getting further seasons and wanted to close off some plot lines the best it can like Pushing Daises.
