Heroes in Hiding ; Not Your Average PTA Meeting
'Moving' masterfully blends superpowers with heartfelt storytelling, delivering emotional highs and gripping action. The characters are deeply relatable, each with their unique abilities and personal struggles, making the story both thrilling and touching. The production quality is topnotch, with impressive special effects and a compelling narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It's a must watch for Kdrama fans seeking a unique, engaging experience that goes beyond the typical genre conventions. Lastly I can't wait for season 2.Was this review helpful to you?
This show is good but..
For me this show is great from the action scene, acting of all actors and lastly production but...There something unclear..
The POWER SYSTEM---
- How will you determine your own strength if someone has same ability as you??
-How will you determine your chances to defeat your enemy if he has same ability as you?
I DONT WANT TO GET AN REASON LIKE
" Because they are main character, they need to win."
Poor writing character for the villain ( Not for north koreans but for NSI chief and tracker old man)
They are EASY KILL..
Conclusion:
I love this show but those question, dont give good reason to rate it higher.

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Moving " is a supernatural thriller about humans born with supernatural abilities who try to live a normal life, sheltered from those who try to use them as weapons.The drama's pace feels off at first, but the viewer quickly settles into its rhythm, as the episodes slowly reveal each character and their past, binding everything together in the final episodes, where the tension has reached its boiling point and the big battle erupts. The idea of having each character presented in different episodes before moving on to the main plot was brilliant and it worked nicely as to create the perfect suspense for the final episodes.
In addition, the atmosphere of the drama was spot on, with the bloody battle being gruesome, but the story having enough humanity and heartwarming moments to create the perfect blend.
Finally, the performances were all enjoyable by everyone in the excessive cast, and the CGI along with the fighting scenes were top-notch.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

You can't fly well because you're afraid of falling
The combination of superhuman abilities, intense action sequences, and a top-notch cast was a thrilling experience!!!!!!!!!The way they structured the plot, weaving together the perspectives of both students and parents was a clever move. The fact that it seamlessly weaves between past events and the present adds an extra layer of complexity and intrigue to the narrative.
It's impressive that, despite the fantastical elements of superpowers, the series maintains a grounded feel, emphasizing the in-depth relationships between characters. They put effort into developing each character, making them all unique and impactful. The star-studded cast is impressive, and it's great to see both seasoned actors and rookies delivering outstanding performances. The blend of action, drama, romance, and humor suggests a well-rounded and engaging story. The cinematography and music, they really know how to set the mood and enhance the viewing experience.
In terms of the plot, the structure is clear-cut. Approximately seven episodes focus on the present, delving into the lives of the younger generation with themes of high school romance, teenage self-discovery, and generational conflicts. The subsequent episodes shift to the past, where the parents take center stage, exposing harsh realities such as manipulation, betrayal, social stigma, and the challenges of child protection. Both segments offer compelling narratives. The final episodes deliver edge-of-your-seat action sequences, featuring an ensemble cast.
For those still on the fence, I wholeheartedly recommend this drama. It stands out as one of the best of the year, presenting a unique and refreshing addition.

Emotional storytelling that goes beyond the superhero angle
Moving really surprised me—in a good way. I went in expecting a typical superpowered drama, but what I got was something way more emotional and character-driven. It’s not just about people with abilities—it’s about family, sacrifice, and how much people are willing to risk to protect the ones they love.The way the story was told—through different character arcs and timelines—made it feel fresh. Some parts are slow, especially early on, but once it picks up, you get totally drawn in. The action scenes are slick, but what really sticks with you are the quiet, emotional moments. Certain episodes (you’ll know which ones) hit hard.
The cast absolutely delivered, especially the parents’ storyline—it gave the whole show this emotional weight I wasn’t expecting. Not everything landed perfectly (some side characters felt rushed), but overall, Moving was a solid ride with a strong heart.
Pros:
✔ Emotional storytelling that goes beyond the superhero angle
✔ Strong performances and great chemistry between the cast
✔ Cinematic visuals with well-done fight scenes
✔ A refreshing take on powers and responsibility
Cons:
✘ A slow build at the beginning
✘ A few side plots could’ve used more closure

A Truly MOVING Story Served Avengers’ Style
Moving is a very unique from all the kdramas I’ve watched before. It encompasses all the genres it promised to deliver and I think it is perfect. Moving hit all the emotional points while delivering the best action sequences I’v seen. The family dynamics was also very on point and became the heart and soul of the story.Casting was perfect. Jo In Sung was the coolest black agent and the most adorable dad to Bongseok. Han Hyo Joo, was the perfect partner to the cool black agent. All of their romantic scenes were embedded on my mind. Their chemistry was amazing, even though there love story was just told in 2 episodes. Han Hyo Joo also delivered as the strong mom who takes care of her son. They were just the perfect parents. Ryu Seung Ryong was the best! I have watched some of his hits but he really delivered in this one. The soft-hearted, loving “Monster” Jang Joo Won just captured my heart in all his scenes from funny, to action, to sad scenes. I’m not gonna expand more in the casting, but they were all perfect for their characters. Especially, the very cute Bongseok-ah.
Story-telling was also good. The timeline was a little bit confusing at first, since it is not told chronologically. But as you continue watching the series, the story was told like that for a reason. Kang Full the writer of the webtoon and the series did a great job, no episodes were boring and each character was given a spotlight in the series. The show was written in a character-driven way that’s why Ioved the story. I also like the use of parallelism in the beginning and end of the drama. It showed how the characters evolved and remained true to themselves.
Cinematography was amazing. You will be hooked to all the action-scenes. My favorite was Kim Doo Shik’s, when he single-handedly raid the North Korean base. That was just mind blowing. They were also able to emphasize all the powers of the superhumans, especially with Lee Mi Hyun’s “super-sense”, which is I think the hardest to do.
To summarize, I really recommend this drama. This is a must-watch series that will totally make anyone laugh, cry, happy and sad. I hope a lot of people watch it because I want a season 2. Haha. It did open-up new story lines in the end credits scenes.

A fun show to watch
There was many things I loved abt this show bt the thing I loved the most is everyone is the lead of the show.... Everyone has their own story, own pain nd hardships...... Everyone got enough attention nd enough time to shine.......A really fun superhero series. Without a single boring episode....
There was also hint of 2nd season......
I hope they make it a franchise like Marvel nd cover story of every single character in detail..........
There was many things tht require some explaining as the show is relatively short.
Hope tht also get done.
Like a prequel abt how Kin Doosik ended up in the NIS

Moving shows that superpowers don’t exempt you from pain, family issues, or the fear of being used. What matters is the choice to carry your past, protect your loved ones, and define your own future.

Superhero Goodness.
This show is very good. Pacing is good. CGI is good. Acting is good. Everything is SUPER-good. :)I was thoroughly surprised when watching this show for the first time that I accidentally binged all 7 episodes during the first week. Although the pacing isn't very fast, every moment and second of of each episode is worth to look at. Character backgrounds, fight scenes, and stories are all very well made. I also really love Bongseok and Huisoo's Chemistry on the screen. It isn't your typical high-school romance trope, and it feels very wholesome.

Powerful stories about life and family
If I'm going to pick one thing about this series as a review, it's the flashbacks. They showed us the challenges of living, be it with special powers or as an ordinary human being.And then they touched on the relationships of adults.
Then parents and their kids.
It is very touching. Every single episode with flashbacks is very touching. The director knows how to create the scenes, and what sequence it should be to capture the audience and deliver the message the writer wants.
Forget about superpowers. The flashbacks are more powerful and meaningful than their superpowers.

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.
