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.
