Em Movimento (2023)

When Disney+ got something right

Despite my hatred towards Disney+ and corporate influences, they really nailed it with 'Moving.' This is how you create a captivating action/supernatural KDrama. I was hooked from episode 1 until the end.

I appreciate how the writers didn't underestimate the audience's intelligence; they allowed us to guess, speculate, and get to know the characters at our own pace. I enjoyed piecing the puzzle together myself, and the ending was incredible.

I've been a fan of Han Hyo Joo since her 'Spring Waltz' and 'Dong Yi' days, and watching her again felt like revisiting my youth. The same goes for all the other stars from the 2000s. It warms my heart to see them again, especially Cha Tae Hyun—what a pleasant surprise. Go Youn Jung and Lee Jung Ha are so adorable. Please protect them!

Overall, 'Moving' deserves its spot as one of the best KDramas of 2023.

Drama that makes one SHRIEK with excitement

Picture this- a family of 4 getting together every Wednesday night to watch the newest episodes of Moving. That's what my family did all the way till the final ep. Every ep made us excited for the next and it was just THAT GOOD. The series made us cry, laugh, smile and gasp throughout.

Story: 10/10
AMAZINGLY TOLD. The screenwriter, Kang Full, is the same person who created the webtoon. He not only told the story authentically, followed his source material, but also revamped certain aspects and made the show so much more appealing. To have this much insight and direction of how to tell the story behind SO many characters is remarkable. A 20 ep drama covering a 45 chp webtoon was paced so well. Every ep had aspects to pull you to watch the next. This is a MUST WATCH for everyone.

Acting/Cast: 10/10
Just how did they cast the characters so well!! All the actors and actresses did such a terrific job. Ryu Seung Ryong made my entire family sob with his excellent performance- moved to absolute tears. Of course, everyone did exceptionally but I do have my favourites. Lee Jung Ha will be on my watchlist- he was adorable and such a likeable presence in the show.

Music: 10/10
The sound design and music matched all scenes very well. There were no instances where I felt they were forcing the audience to feel emotions with just music alone. The scenes and acting themselves were so well done that the music truly served to enhance and make everything so much better. Sound design was also great- fight scenes were all the more brutal and realistic with it!

Rewatch: 10/10
Going back, I can appreciate the amount of details added to the show. Everything was just so well thought out, that there are things only to be spotted when you go back to rewatch. The visuals of the show also make it worth to go back to.

Overall: 10/10
It might just be my favourite show of 2023. Recommended to all ages above 15. This season was complete and satisfying alone, but they did start a few more plot strings to get the audience hyped for Season 2. Hence, I still urge for anyone who hasn't watched to WATCH NOW.

Its not just special, Its the best kdrama I have watched

From start to end, Moving never fails to engage and excite you. Its a masterpiece and will be remembered for a long time.

Lets talk in a bit of detail about the various aspects of the drama

Story :
The story is based on the webtoon of the same name. The drama is about 3 students who have special abilities, and their parents who are trying to protect them from being hunted. The story is set in the present time but has a lot of flashbacks. Its an interesting way to tell the story. It first sets up the present and then goes into flashbacks to explain why it is what it is. The story of each character is carefully carved out. You can connect to characters at a personal level because it's not just a story of their powers and good deeds but goes deep down into how they ended up there, and how they struggled. The were explored as characters without glorifying their abilities and depressing their flaws which makes them more acceptable, real and awesome.
I usually am not a fan of dramas with multiple main leads because I feel they end up prioritizing one over the other and are not able to flesh out any character perfectly. But in contrast to my opinion,I really liked the drama despite having so many leads. I feel all characters were given just the right amount of screen time. You can just not not like any character. They all are just soo awesome.
The romance was sooo on point. There was a mature romance shown between the parents and a cute romance between the kids. It's perfectly fitted according to their age groups and personalities. It was just so much fun to watch. I just love all the couples :D

Acting :
The actors did such an amazing job. Amazzing cast. Han Hyo Joo is sooo talented. One moment she looks like a mom who is tired but worried for her kid and one moment she is this fierce woman who is ready to take anyone down. Lee Jung Ha did an amazing job playing bongseok. He is just soooooo cute, innocent and adorable. Go Youn Jung nailed her role as Hee Soo. Even though Kim Do Hoon did not get as much screen time, his character was as impactful in the story as others. Zo In Sung and Ryu Seung Ryong were amazing too.
I love how the makeup was done very minimalistic to make them not look like glorified pretty actors but as normal people. They really took care of every small details.

Visuals :
Moving is a visual treat. All the superpower/action scenes of it felt so real. Such good quality production,great CGI/VFX

Some dialogues are so good they are just stuck with you forever. One of my favs is by Hee Soo, " You are not weird at all, just a bit special"
Also I loved the small references of what parents did, is the same as what the kids are doing.

I mean I don't have any complaints from the drama except that it was only 20 episodes. Now that it's finished what do I watch? It's so heartbreaking but all good things come to an end.

I can just go on praising the drama but let's leave some excitement and time for you to watch the drama. A good review must also come to an end :p

So in short, It is really a must-watch. One drama you can not afford to miss!
Irrespective of what genre you like, this drama literally provides everything from romance, comedy, action, thriller, mystery, supernatural young characters, and mature characters, it is a full package.

Can an imperfect show still get a 10/10? It can with me!

I have some issues with things, I wish some areas were fleshed out more, I wish the conclusion would have had more time to breathe.

However, I loved every second I watched this. I enjoyed the characters, the acting, and while I wish the plot had been... longer I guess is the right word, I still enjoyed the plot too.

I've always felt that these dramas, K and C, have amazing setups and usually pretty good middle story as well but almost always they drop the ball at the end. Endings are hard, I get that, but the frequency with which I get engrossed in a series only for it to end and disappoint me is too much. That's why, even though I don't think they knocked the ending out of the park, they at least did well enough that I can say its far in front of most other drama endings I have seen.

Overall I highly recommend this series if you enjoy good characters with depth, good action, and an overall decent ending! My favorite episodes were definitely the first batch of about 7, but I have to admit the parent's backstory episodes, 8 through 15 were incredibly well done and stand alone as great romance story's by themselves. The last 5 episodes, while not my favorite due to feeling rushed or just lacking in some ways, are still as I mentioned well above the norm of K-Drama endings quality, so even those episodes get a thumbs up from me.

An Excellent Kdrama about Humanity with a Perfect Ensemble Cast

Just a short and simple review..

It's a drama about kinship, comradeship, will to live, and most important of all, humanity.

Not overly cheesy, small surprises sprinkled here and there frequently enough to keep the plot fresh, and the connection with various characters grow with each scene.

The bus driver boss's scenes warmed my heart.. he's such a kind soul, bless him, we need more people like him in our real world.

I've shed too many tears with too many characters in this drama.

The only reason I've scored it down is because much like humanity, there is imperfection.. e.g. some of its pacing could be better (but most of it is excellent to me).. and Disney+ could give us longer episodes (some are just 32 minutes).

Some scenes are more violent than I like, but it's a reflection of the running theme of "becoming monsters to protect the children", and a great contrast with their soft heartedness when seeing the children (even for the NK soldiers).

I've never anticipated a Kdrama season 2 but this has to be made 🤞.

Best drama of 2023.

A truly gripping drama, unlike any I’ve watched before.

*Spoilers ahead!*

I found the two fathers, Jang Joo Won (played by Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (played by Kim Sung Kyun) stories particularity touching. And their characters were so well played by the actors!

For example how Joo Won is portrayed as ridiculously strong and self healing, but would break down and burst into tears around his partner. So watching him walk around alone and sob after she passed was heart breaking to watch.

Also the look on Jae Man’s face when he saw how his son Kang Hoon was laying on the floor.

Each episode felt like a movie, the scenery and music that accompanied the past and present made all the difference.

I do wish each episode was longer than 40/45mins or there were more episodes, as I found too much time was used on some characters like the school custodian and Ki Soo.

I know this is based on a web toon, but I would’ve loved to see a reunion between Joo Won and Doo Shik. And just more of what happened after the final battle.

But overall, a must watch! And the ending suggests another season! I’m so interested to see what happens with the kid who could stop time!

Moving Story of "Monsters"

Moving is a remarkable drama that lives up to all the hype and praise it receives. It captivates viewers with their skillfully crafted stories, well-developed characters, and engaging dynamics. While its genre may not be entirely unique to some, it manages to infuse its own twist to keep things fresh and relatable.

Its standout feature for me is its careful attention to each character and how they're interconnected. We get a look into their lives and understand their perspectives as they face challenges and still keep moving on. The story refrains from fixating solely on their superpowers that gives them the title "monster" and instead portraying them as authentic, relatable individuals. The depiction of family dynamics is especially beautifully written, making it impossible to choose favourites. It's absolutely amazing to watch non-toxic parent - child relationships. I'm delighted that the final episodes did justice to these dynamics.

They also have an amazing ability to convey a clear message. There are so many inspiring and motivating dialogues that lives up to the name of the drama.

As for the acting, it's evident that the casting was done with great care, as the talented actors seamlessly embody their characters, adding to the show's overall excellence.

While I waited for the final eps' week to catch up, I didn't even notice how soon the 20 episodes ended. There wasn't any second that was draggy. Each part was there for a reason and kept the audience interested. Thus, if there is a season 2 or spin-off, I'm looking forward to 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
