Action, Emotion & Excellence : MOVING Sets a New Standard in Superhero TV

The drama truly redefined the superhero genre for me. Normally, superhero shows feature individuals with supernatural powers saving the world from evil forces. So what sets MOVING apart from the rest?
This isnt a typical show where individuals with superhuman abilities save the world. Instead, its about their unwavering dedication to protecting their families at any cost and this forms the core of the story.

The narrative revolves around nine individuals who are willing to do whatever it takes to shield their loved ones from malevolent forces. These forces either seek to eliminate them or want to coerce them into working for their selfish agendas.

Every hero in our ensemble gets their moment to shine throughout the show. Each character possesses a compelling backstory that will genuinely touch your heart. While you witness their backstories, you will cry alongside them and you will also share in their moments of joy as they connect with their loved ones.

When we think of superhero movies or shows, action usually comes to mind first. However, MOVING offers something different. It not only boasts jaw dropping action sequences but also seamlessly weaves in slice of life moments throughout the drama.

This drama incorporates various sub genres such as romance and slice of life and they blend together seamlessly. The romances be it Juwon - Jihee, Dooshik - Mihyun or our sunshine couple HeeSoo - Bong Seok are exceptionally well-executed. The mix of sorrow and yearning in our older couples and the cuteness of our beloved younger couple beautifully complement each other.

Even the story of Kang Hoon and his father Jae Man, will tug at your heartstrings evoking very strong emotions. Jae Man's unconditional love for his son Kang Hoon is unparalleled.

Regarding the action sequences, I can confidently state that MOVING redefines the action genre in Korean entertainment media.
Even the most challenging action sequences are executed with remarkable ease, leaving you captivated. The high budget is put to excellent use.

Episodes 10-11 & 19-20 stand out as my personal favorites with both the storytelling and action sequences reaching perfection. These episodes will undoubtedly move you to tears and leave you in awe with their flawless action sequences.

Every actor excels in portraying their characters, from seasoned actors like Ryu Seong Ryung, Han Hyo Jo and Zo Insung to rookie talents like Lee Jungha, Go Younjung and Kim Dohoon. They bring their characters to life so convincingly that you may question whether they are real people or actors.
I bet Ryu Seong Ryung is either going to win Best Actor or the Daesang at the next Baeksang Awards. Thats how impressive he was in this drama. He is actor that the Korean entertainment media should save at all costs.

The BGMs enhances every scene and experiencing the show on Disney Plus Hotstar with Dolby Atmos provides an epic viewing experience that words cant fully describe.

In summary, MOVING is masterpiece that transcends genres. Whether you are a fan of action dramas or not, I highly recommend not missing out on this exceptional show.
