Em Movimento (2023)

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.

A K-drama that actually K-drama'ed after a long time!!

Every character is written SO well, and I mean so damn well!! You know an author is good when you can't even hate the "bad" guys and root for the greater good for everyone involved.

Every character, interaction, arc, just everything made sense. It was all intertwined like life often is: and is it NOT easy create such a remarkable story with loveable characters. Kudos to the author fr.

There was not a minute that was boring, I was glued to the screen the entire time wanting to know what happens next. Even the most mundane things were interesting and when the showed the purpose behind every little details.. WOW!!

And not just the story.. the actors, direction, cinematography, music, EVERYTHING HIT!!

Everyone did so well; I laughed with them, cried for them, cheered them on. And I'm still so invested, I can't to find out what happens next. I noticed many elements that they might play on in the next season and I can't wait to tune in!!

BEST DRAMA 2023...HANDS DOWN!

I went into this with many expectations...a lot...and this drama met all , and then some.

I've always liked fast-paced action-packed films...and knowing how Koreans take it to the next level with the fighting and the gore, I was super excited to start this film.

I would have loved some more parent time... especially with Kim Dooshik, but oh well. I'm just happy they didn't kill him.
People who deserved to get hurt got hurt and redemption arcs went to people who really needed them...aka the giant bear from N. Korea...

The last time I was this invested in a couple's story and relationship was with CLoY and now I have new parents...their chemistry was giving, and I hope they get more screen time if there's going to be a season 2.

Lastly...the plot holes
-why didn't Bongseok graduate?????
- Why isn't he with Huisoo..,
-and why the fuck is Ganghoon trying to join the sick organisation?????
-What is the issue with the dude Ganghoon beat up? What really happened to him?

I was thoroughly entertained and got even more thrilled when I saw the announcement about season two cause quite frankly ...the ending wasn't it, not entirely.

The story didn't get a perfect 10, cause of the ending.
I don't even remember the OSTs
Acting was top-tier!
So should you watch this....Absolutely! You can't not watch this!

Meu deus a disney finalmente lancou uma coisa BOA~

❤️ BONGSEOK & HUISOO ❤️ . Simplesmente o melhor do ano meu deus nao tem jeito!! comecando pelo cast tipo? Só os gigantes e até os atores rookie foram divos DEMAISSS! Nunca imaginei minha mae Hyo Joo fazendo papel de mãe tao cedo mas nossa senhora brilhou dms nela (ela c aql oculos senhor). Os efeitos PERFEITOS! Na verdadenao tenho oq reclamar, moving foi incrivel do início ao fim, me prendeu de um jeito e me deixou tao obcecada na historia e neles. Fiquei bem mals com a história do super humanos do norte :/ eles nao queriam aquela vida mas não tiveram escolha :( O final o grandao que se cura ficando c a huisoo e c o pai dela chorei dms. só me doeu muito que o reencontro da familia foi bem rapido ou seja quero minha segunda temporada semana que vem.

THE BEST KDRAMA EVER

I still need some time to process everything but I had to jump on the hype train and write this review just to share how amazing Moving was.

The storyline, the plot twists, the time transitions were all executed in such a professional and perfect way that mostly no other kdrama has been able to hold from start to finish.

The chemistry between all the cast was off the charts. The main characters grew way too much on me. It was so interesting to see Lee Mi Hyun in this role. Loved how all the parents played as much of an important role as their kids.

The ending clearly leaves an open space for a 2nd Season that I would happily welcome.

I think the reason we connect so much with Korean Dramas is because no matter the genre, the writing and the plot in general gravitates towards a human orientation which makes it easy for the viewer to connect with the characters.

Will for sure write another review later on after I watch it for a 2nd time.

Thank you to each and everyone of the cast, who made this possible! 감사합니다

Solid storyline and solid acting

First thing first, i want to appreciate the acting in this drama. Of course i know it would be good because most of them are senior and A-list actors, but i also want to give a big applaud to the young actors. Younjung, dong ha and do hoon really nailed their characters here, the acting was solid. I don't even see any 'gap' when they act with the senior actors and i think that's a good thing. They don't overreact or doing too much with their face expression, and the reaction from one dialogue to another is flawless, because to act is to react.

The directing in this drama is fantastic, and the plot is very well written imo, it doesn't lost it focus by adding too much romance, it just right.

One of my favorite scene is when hee soo fighting the girls with mud all over her body, the acting, the details, and directing there was *chef kiss*. Go younjung once again convincing me that she's a good actress and can take any roles that given to her.

Under Rated & My Fav

as a fan of k-drama I just happened to discover this magnificently wonderful drama. The pormtion for this show was lacking, like when & where was this show promoted. Had I not stumbled across Moving I would have missed one of greastest shows in K Drama History. it’s got everything you need the story line,the plot, the cast was phenomenal, & graphics (visual effects) made me wanna be a superhero too. I hope they make a sseason 2 I can’t wait..

I enjoyed the exposition of each major character's story, particularly that of Kim Bong Seok's and his mother's. Han Hyo Joo is one of my favorite actors and I thought that Lee Jung Ha did a great job. I loved the way that the writer teased out the connections and tensions with the more minor characters, which made me care about the minor characters almost as much as the major ones. So far so good. But the drama went downhill for me during the climactic battle scenes between the superheroes. The battle seemed like just the usual over-the-top but predictable superheroes battle. The "surprise" plot twists were emphatically not. Argh.

Perhaps I would not have been as disappointed had my expectations not been raised sky high as a result of the earlier episodes as well as by praise from reviewers everywhere? I kept hoping for one of those "I did not see that coming" moments. Maybe it will come in the sequel, in which case, I might reevaluate this review.

Moving was......MOVING!!!

DISCLAIMER!!!
I may have some serious biases lol because, in my opinion, this is the BEST kdrama this year. Fight me on this!

The whole premise of MOVING revolves around the children of 3 former ANSP agents and 1 father who is madly protective of his son. It basically dives into their backstory and what their life was like prior to becoming parents. How they were taken advantage of and have gone into hiding in order to prevent their children from not being used for selfish gains like they were.

Shows that tend to focus on the children of people with superhuman abilities most often tend to graze over the parent's backstories and just hyper-focus on the kids which isn't necessarily a bad thing. With MOVING, I love the special attention to not only the parents, the children, or the agency but also the enemies as well. We got backstories and explanations for every angle of this story. I commend the writers and directors on this cause this is something that's hard to execute without losing the main plot and straying far ultimately losing the attention of viewers and confusing everyone in the process. The shifting/time jumps in each episode felt natural and didn't feel rushed or cause confusion. And even when a plot line/time jump wasn't explained in the following episode it didn't cause any confusion and was picked up in another episode and tied in perfectly with the situation happening at that time.

I'm patiently awaiting season 2 because the writers have a lot of explaining to do.

1) YoungTak and his time-stopping power. Who is he? Why did he transfer in his senior year? Did they know about his power? Who are his parents and did they work with the ANSP? so many questions to answer.
2) Who tf is that girl that walked into YoungJoon's office? Is she the true brains behind that operation?
3) Naju's daughter. Her death had to be faked. Where is she? What happened to her truly and did the ANSP track her down?
4) Frank. Is he actually dead?
5) KiSoo. who is he really? How did his injury happen and why does he know about those with abilities?
6) That new guy in the last scene. What slimy shady selfish reasons in the name of 'protect and serve our country' is he gonna do now?
7) Are there more people with abilities?
So many questions that season 2 needs to answer and I can't wait.

Best k-drama webtoon adaptation

17 whole episodes just for background introduction story, I have no complain. for a deep serious story it should be that way.
almost every character is meaningful, the only problem is player role ambiguity. I assume flying boy is the mc since he is the one that has most character development through the story so far.

every character developed for the better or worse. main role, villains, even a support characters like the bully does.
at last a k-drama that gives a thoughtful love for their characters existed. let the original author do the drama writing really payoff.

last 3 episode rushed so much, many will think that still so much left out unsolved plot. moving might be planned to be multi season series, but there has to be a proper ending like episodes for this season. multi season or not last 3 episodes still bring a decent last battle vibes, pretty nice.

I'm surprised that I have no complains in the story progression or the characters, in the future k-drama webtoon adaptation really need to let the original author to do the writings or at least let them actively contribute in the writing process.

now moving to mainstream battle comic stories problem, power scaling. I'm a flipping geek, I cant believe myself talking about power scaling in a k-drama.
first of all, most op regeneration. this far regeneration means immortal, frank is still alive even after get burned yet gouged eye doesn't heal how far a wound can heal or not still uncertain.
another might be op power shown is time stop, only shown a little bit but if wanted to be shown later on this need to have certain limitation
then the induction power, in the ending shown a lightning strike. but power source of a bus definitely doesn't sufficient. a lightning strike carries at least 1 billion joules energy which needs several electrical bus energy to do that. lets say its not actually as powerful as natural thunder strike its just visual, in this series this power so far represented as the weakest when supposed to be the strongest. with proper power source bungaeman is basically a super human canon. a gun bullet speed is mach its already almost impossible to dodge, while electricity is speed of light nothing can escape that canon.

in summary, im pretty happy with this adaptation. I usually says that adaptation better to stick with the original webtoon as much as possible. but not this one, it doesnt matter this series is good enough as stand alone series. lets just hope disney will make season 2 happens
