2023 BEST KDRAMA

drama series that is perfect in terms of story, actors and actresses who are amazingly cool and supporting roles that are no less cool than the main character of the story that is very touching makes me pity and sad at the same time every detail really amazes me and wonders why there is a story as good as this? good shooting moving so far is still in the best drama airing in 2023 and maybe the best in my opinion this drama in terms of casting the main and supporting players is no joke they are all involved in this story I am very amazed and the best in editing and cool visual effects this drama should win a lot of trophies at the annual best drama event and deserves it.
I don't really expect there to be a season 2 but so far the ending is enough for me.
All of them should watch moving because there is no loss to watch it
I don't know if the writer will make moving season 2? We will never know
Even if there is a season 2, hopefully the formation of the players will not change.
Maybe if it changes it's a little awkward but it's okay, I'll enjoy it.

a masterpiece

Dear lord i dont know where to begin AHAHAHA

a masterpiece really, probably one of the best dramas of the century and in kdrama history. where do I start…

the plot, super solid. so well developed and so well executed that the whole drama got me on the edge of my seat and i was so invested. the first episode already got me hooked. the way they also integrated the backstories of each character was too good that i was able to watch everythibg without getting bored. the action scenes? LEGENDARY. THE ROMANCE? masterpiece for real. someone give the scripwriter an award i beg you.

now the OST, goddamn everytime i hear guryongpo’s soundtrack chills go up my spine and i smirk cuz damn. the music really fit the vibe of the entire drama.

now wow the characters. the actor and actress selection was so well thought of. who knew id be here watching han hyo joo playing a mother role WITH UNBELIEVABLE CHEMISTRY WITH ZO IN SUNG? they should be married irl. also casting go younjung, thank you director so much. bongseok and ganghoon are now part of my celeb crush list.

gosh its my first review and im not used to this… but all i can say is. this drama was definitely worth my time. and no matter how many times i rewatch, I’ll definitely fall in love with it even more. thank you so much for giving us an amazing drama and a happy ending.

DEFINITELY WAITING FOR A SEASON 2??

South Korea can also create superheroes

I remember finding out this show would come out sometime in 2023. I was looking through the shows Kim Sung Kyun was starring in after watching the drama called "Grid". At that time I didn't really look into what it was about or anything. The reason I even started watching this drama was because of a few videos on YouTube that showed some clips. So when I started watching it, I didn't know what it was going to be about.

The drama starts with the story surrounding Bong Seok and Hee Soo. It then shows how it is living with their superpowers in their daily lives. I think the drama gave us a good mix of their superpowers and their story about that, but also a romance that makes your heart flutter. Around halfway through the series it gradually goes over to the parents backstories. I think it was nice to get to know each character better and how they met and how they got to know each other. All leading up to the final battle where all of them are gathered.

What makes me not giving this drama a 10/10 is the fact that I felt like it might have been too much about their parents and their backstories, when I actually wanted to see more of Bong Seok and Hee Soo. But it actually all makes more sense to give the viewers a good explanation of how these people got to know each other and what led up to them getting tangled together. A well executed and thrilling series from Disney, I'm looking forward to the next season.

Moving: Teenage Superhumans

The series have a very exciting early episode. I like the action-packed episodes particularly the later ones. But somehow it to meet my expectations on why it was titled that way. Although a sequel or another season can be a welcome idea to quench the uncertainties the viewers would like to see what a great ending will be.

I am blur as to where it can climax as the teaser to the continuing next sequel if ever there will be. But the concept and story is great. I am just not sure if the story will be enough to create a political ripple between the north and south (hope not!) since the disclaimer says it all that it was just a work of fiction.

The title likewise seems somewhat misleading and/or controversial. Does it mean 'moving from north to south'? I feel the title should highly relate to the extraordinary life of the main characters. Except that it should not be somewhat similar or near like to the title of the tech savvy secret agent kids' film: Spy Kids Armageddon.

Best of 2023

You will not regret watching. This is the best kdrama I've watched all year, and it's one of my favorite kdramas of all time. I spam watched every episode. It's high quality. Every episode feels like a movie. The actors are good, so the story is portrayed well. Jo Insung and Han Hyojoo are already some of the best out there, and I love their other works. I want to see the other actors/actresses in other dramas too (especially the young actors/actress).

The scriptwriter well thought out the story. From beginning to end, I was NEVER disappointed. Each episode kept me interested. The symbolism, the romance, the super powers, the everything. I could rave on and on about this. I'm obsessed.
You know one of those dramas that you'll think about for a long time? This is one of those.

I want a second season. Kdrama gods, please.

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.

Unmet Expectations: A Disappointing Experience with "Moving"

Pros:
-FTX and Makeup Quality: The series does shine in terms of FTX and makeup, showcasing a commendable level of technical skill.
-Doo Sik and Mi Hyun's Love Story: The slow-burn love story between Doo Sik and Mi Hyun provides a redeeming element, offering a genuinely enjoyable aspect within the overall narrative.
-Ryu Seung-ryong's acting: He just doesn't fail at delivering his role, truly a versatile actor.

Cons:
-Overrated and Overhyped: Despite high ratings, "Moving" falls short of the hype, leaving viewers with unmet expectations.
-Not Action-Oriented: Contrary to expectations, the series leans more towards romance than action, potentially disappointing fans seeking an adrenaline-fueled experience.
-Cringeworthy Script and Lack of Depth: The script is criticized for being cringeworthy and lacking depth, preventing the narrative from achieving a meaningful impact. The fact that they overused "Who are you?", "Do you want to die?", "Bastards" and things that don't even need to be said make it so hard to watch.
-Excessive Side Characters: The presence of numerous side characters with insignificant stories adds unnecessary complexity, diluting the main plot and contributing to a disjointed narrative.
-Absence of Main Plot Line: The series suffers from a lack of a clear main plot line, resulting in a narrative that feels scattered and disorganized.
-Villains: Black-and-White and Boring: The one-dimensional portrayal of villains with a lack of depth and development adds to the overall disappointment.
-Wasted Talents: Despite a cast of great actors, including Ryu Seung-ryong, Park Hee-soon, Jo Insung, Cha Tae-hyun, and Han Hyo-joo, the series fails to leverage their talents effectively.


"Moving" may have some technical merits and a redeeming love story, but the overwhelming issues, including a lack of villain's motives and main plot line, cringeworthy script, and wasted talent, make it difficult to recommend, especially for fans expecting an engaging action and crime series.

Dramas released since 2020 have mostly been score-bloated but this one deserves all the praise.

Another case of crippling depression after finishing such a good drama.

I can't stress how good this drama is. Let's start with the strengths:

- the cast: I dare anyone to find a better cast for this drama; I'd bet it would be nearly impossible.

- the soundtrack: surely the soundtrack for this drama is underrated. even the instrumentals for specific scenes fit so well.

- CGI: its hard to create these 'fantasy' dramas. They have to orchestrate a fantasy drama without making certain things corny, cartoony, and cringey all whilst making things look realistic. In that department, they nailed it.

- the story: this is just an absolute chef's kiss

To what felt like a possibly rushed, disappointing ending after only 3 episodes left they managed to create a quite satisfying and conclusive ending all whilst teasing for a possible continuation to the series.

Despite all the hype and love I have for this drama, even though this drama was so good in all aspects, things should only go up from here (as long as they re-sign the cast). Season 1 was more of an origin story, a build up season, and we've yet to actually see the real payoff of all the world building.

My theory: The writer of moving said there were already webtoons that took place before and after Moving that could be adapted for the next chapter of the series, but I think they won't "fully" adapt those webtoons. I'm not sure because I have no clue in what direction the following webtoon goes, but surely the priority is trying to capitalize on the success of Moving. They are trying to create a bigger world after Moving, and now it should be easier since the groundwork has been laid.

Amazing!

This was excellent – from the actors and their performances to the plot and action, the visual and special effects, like you can smell the budget! The ending was great, but it’s open, so I wonder what will happen… Also, the girl Hui Soo saved back in her old school… it was clear there was more to her but the revelation came too late – again, will there be a second season?? The build up to the grand finale was amazing, and the last two episodes got me on the edge of my seat, but I wish the showdown would have been even longer. But overall, this show was fantastic in my opinion.

Somebody Move Me

"Moving" isn't just another superhero drama; it's a groundbreaking masterpiece that redefines the genre. From its intricate plot structure to its stellar cast, every aspect of this Kdrama captivates and astonishes.

At first glance, "Moving" may seem like just another recycled drama, but it quickly proves otherwise. The way the story unfolds, starting with the students' perspectives and gradually revealing the parents' history, is a stroke of genius. Each character, whether major or minor, possesses depth and complexity, contributing to the rich tapestry of the narrative. And the introduction of new characters is seamless, adding layers to an already compelling story.

What truly sets "Moving" apart is its star-studded cast. From seasoned icons like Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, and Cha Tae Hyun to breakout talents like Lee Jung Ha, Go Youn Jung, and Kim Do Hoon, every actor delivers a mesmerising performance. Han Hyo Joo shines, as always, in her role as a mother, proving her versatility once again. And the rest of the cast follows suit, immersing themselves completely in their characters and leaving viewers in awe of their talent.

But "Moving" isn't just about the performances; it's a visual and auditory feast. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing every moment with precision and beauty. And the music, especially the BGM, adds another layer of emotion and depth to the story.

In the end, "Moving" isn't just a drama; it's an experience. It's the kind of show that keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating each twist and turn. And even after it's over, it stays with you, begging to be rewatched again and again. With its flawless execution and unforgettable performances, "Moving" is easily a 10/10 masterpiece that sets a new standard for television dramas. Binge watching it twice is enough to justify this review. I’ll watch it a third time to confirm but I’m certain the result will be exactly the same. Watch it and challenge me to an opposing review.

Remember the TV series "HEROES"

The TV series Heroes are individual with superhuman talent although this is quite a unique story in a sense that they want to dissect every origin of the character but the 20 episode were not able to provide the true climax of the series and probably there's gonna be a sequel or season 2. This is my first time doing reviews because of Han Hyo Joo, I'm a big fan, I did watched her other TV series, the producer of Jason Bourne. "Treadstone" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaAa_Pw6m-M) and she really kicked a**. The cast are great and most likely another big names in the industry will collaborate for the next season... if ever.
