I'm surprised at how invested I am after one episode (*VERY* invested). I can tell, though, that the violence and tension in this are going to be stressful for me (even with strategically covering the screen), so I think this will be one of my slow watches 😅 But I really liked the first ep, including the three main teens! Especially precious Bongseok.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen a few more episodes, but I’m really enthused about the series.

As someone who doesn’t watch action/superhero shows, I’m delighted this show privileges story and characters. Moving has a stellar cast and they are bringing their A game. Add to that some top notch production values, and I think we have a winner.

I do think the show is stylized (esp the very violent scenes), just not your typical gloss. Its vision is a somewhat gritty realism that grounds the fantastical elements. This is but a minor example but what struck me were skin tones. They have texture, unevenness, even pores! They’re not pancaked white. They may be superheroes but this is just one more way Moving shows us they’re human.

What might be a negative for some is the pacing. I don’t care as much as I prefer character driven dramas. But it’s clear we’re going to have a long setup — and be ready to watch with a higher speed if it becomes an issue.

I watched all 7 episodes and I must say this one is so far so good. I rarely like fantasy drama, it just not my genre, but this one easily captivated my attention and made me sitting down through the whole episodes. Maybe because its story doesn’t not all about the superpowers but lean heavily on family and friendship. Also there is not much theory needed behind the superpowers because I can rest in “logic” that they just born that way, so not much question required. It’s an easy and interesting watch.

And really, how much money they poured into this? I feel like half of A list korean actors are in this one its almoat distracting. I can hear money running like a water for the production. How can the director managed to cast them all?

I really liked this drama. I think it makes sense that they dropped 7 at once so we could understand the world we are in. The world building was great and our central characters are great too. Bongseok is so precious and just very sweet, and that is rare, so it is nice to enjoy. It is hard to comment on just one episode, especially after having seen all seven, so I will just say I enjoyed it. My only criticism is that HHJ is obviously far to young to play Bongseok's mother.

Floaty Boy keeps trying to recite pi to calm himself down (the operative word being "down"), but he never actually gets it right. Perhaps that's his problem (????).

Tip of the day: to remember pi to more digits than you will ever need, just memorize:
"How I wish I could recollect of circle round the exact relation Archimede unwound"
The number of letters in each word gives you one digit.

It's good to hear positive reviews for this show. Ryu Seung-ryong is one of my favorite Chungmuro actors, but my plate is full and I will have to binge this later.

I hope it's worth the 38 million budget.

Clearly, Bong-Seok is the heart of the drama. He was such a sunshine.

The fact to get 2 different storylines with the normal student life and the killing of super humains was a little bit weird without any more explanations.

For the young actors, I was happy to see Kim Do-Hoon, I really like him as an actor. He was so cute in Here's My Plan. Shim Dal-Gi was great in Our Blues. She played the only story I liked in this drama :p, so it's nice to see her in a new drama.

For the adult ones, there were so many known faces! They made a great casting for this drama.

I can't believe how much I'm liking this show. I was first aware of this show from a post/recommendation from Noona's Noonchi on Insta/FB. I was intrigued on episode 1 and absolutely hooked by episode 3 and 4. This is currently THE show I look forward to the most in my current watch lineup.
Why do I like this show?
Despite a supernatural plotline - it feels Real. The main characters act in such a realistic way that all of them immediately succeed in generating empathy for their struggles.
I love the family dynamics of all three high school characters so far. No Toxic moms (or dads) so far (this is for you @darkcc).
The action sequences. Wow. This is like a slice of life high school Twenty Five Twenty One mixed with adult fights of survival Kill Boksoon. I'm on EP4 and hair salon girl is a total badass - she has my respect.
I almost skipped this show because the title Moving kinda sucks. I judged a book by it's cover - don't be me. The title doesn't seem to say anything about the drama. The cover shot of the huge ensemble just seemed unfocused and scattered. Why not just include another 50 "stars" in that cover shot? Between the title and the cover shot - I initially had zero interest in this show. It's good to be wrong.
Speaking of "stars", I read ensemble cast but I initially didn't recognize anybody other than Jun Suk-Ho from Call it Love. I pulled up the cast and was shocked at some of the actors/actresses I missed.
Ko Yoon-Jung How did I not recognize her? I thought her acting was a little bit flat in Alchemy of Souls as Bu-Yeon/Naksu. But here she is so much more expressive, relatable and likeable. I didn't care much for her as an actress before, but this changes right now.
Kim Sung-Kyun as Lee Jae-Man. How in the world did I miss someone so iconic from Reply 1988? I'm slapping myself right now for not recognizing him.

I think it was a good idea of Disney+ to drop the first seven episodes at once.

I used to love watching superhero movies (X-Men, The Dark Knight), now there's superhero inflation so I only tune in to The Boys.
That's why I didn't actually have MOVING on my screen and started the first episode only half-interested. I've now finished episode 5 and looking forward to the next two.
I like the leisurely pace that allows us to get to know the likeable main characters better. At the moment their superpowers only play a supporting role - unless the hormones are going crazy.

I was never a huge fan of superhero fantasies, though I grew up with them like everyone else here (the main difference is that I'm so old that I actually had physical comic books and the superhero movies weren't epic $300 million cgi fests but rather cheesy bad-costume dramas.)

But I still have watched a lot of them--now, in my old age, primarily out of curiosity to see how they distinguish themselves from the multitude of other superhero stories. This one started out quite well, and I’ll be watching it, even though I wish they would continue dropping 7 episodes at a time, so I could finish it off in 3 weeks.

Like many of these stories these days, this has clear roots in the x-men series, especially with the attempt to eliminate the "mutants" led by a shadowy agency that employs mutants themselves. The high school angle reminds me a lot of Spiderman, but I do like the parent-child connection, somewhat like the Incredibles; and of course the on-the- surface awkward, shy and bumbling person who in fact has great talent or hidden powers is always a very appealing character type, from Clark Kent to Harry Potter.

The setting up of a love triangle between the two superpowered male high schoolers and the superpowered girl is also a nice twist, although I have a feeling the chubby, less accomplished flying guy is going to lose out in the end to the more powerful and better looking class president, which will be a defeat for all of us high school losers who had hidden superpowers. In fact, I would really love this story if there was a fourth member of the team, a heavyset shy girl, who could partner up with the class president and avoid the love triangle, but I know this isn't a superhero rom-com. We already had that one with Junho.

The one issue I can already see arising, is that after the coming of age/family discovery story is over, there's going to be a violent, somewhat boring battle deciding the outcome, which will end with some mixed success (maybe one of the characters who hasn't signed for multiple seasons will be killed off), and then 2 years from now there will be a Moving Part 2, with the characters looking older and rather bored of flying, punching, and regenerating but unable to resist the big paycheck of reprising their roles. Of course, by that time, there will an Uncanny Counter Part 3, so Moving Part 2 might look good in comparison.

Watched all 7 episodes and so far, so good. A lot of good performers in this, so no surprise that we're getting really good performances. But I also appreciate how good this looks. There were a couple of times where I found it was too dark for me to see the action, but then I realized it was my settings and not the show. Bare minimum but at least we can see the action.

I'd love to talk further about a couple different things mentioned here (like "FRANK I'm-to-badass-for-a-last-name" or one truly bizarre casting choice), but I won't post spoilers. I think this is a show I'll stick with through the end.

Like many have already said, my affection for this show took me by surprise because I'm indifferent to the superhero genre as a whole. Oddly enough, I think what I like about this particular drama is that even with its fantastical premise, the teens feel way more real to me than in a conventional teen drama. These are simple things, but I appreciate the way characters have acne, or shiny skin, or, in the case of Jang Hee-soo, get really sweaty when they run. Plus, I appreciated the normal, affectionate, and healthy dynamics between parents and children that we've been shown so far.

The three central actors playing the teens are also immediately likeable. AoS made me a fan of Go Yoon-jung and I loved her performance and Jang Hee-soo. She's undeniably pretty, but doesn't fit neatly into the typical teen kdrama categories, and I like her unpredictability and genuineness. Kim Bong-seok is equally likeable, and again, feels like a real teen boy to me--sweet, a little awkward, and cute but also sincere and (figuratively) grounded. I love the trope of him literally fighting to stay bound to the Earth whenever he has an emotional reaction, especially around Hee-soo. Again, even though his ability is supernatural, this type of reaction is immediately relatable because it mimics other natural physical reactions an adolescent might have in the presence of someone they like.

The sudden outburst of intense violence in the middle of the episode was a bit hard for me to watch, and indicates that things are likely to get intense and bloody as the episodes continue. I don't love that, but as long as the heart remains, I'll keep watching.

I had trauma with GYJ after her acting in AOS 2 so I decided not to watch any show she was in but i'm seeing clips of this show on tiktok and it looks so good. Is this better than My Dearest? Because I am already watching My Lovely Liar and I want to watch another drama.

I think the most endearing part of this drama is the parents and their children. Bongseok is so cool because he is nice and kind, not because he can fly, his mother should tell him that.
What kind of the world they live in, where Han Hyo-joo becomes mother of high schooler (though she nails it and looks like it) and Cha Tae-hyun plays his high school younger self 😅
And I wide open my eyes for where is Jo Inseong?? 👁👁 centuries from his last drama

This wasn't on my watchlist, but I heard good reviews about it so wanted to check it out especially when I saw the first (few) episodes were less than an hour. I've only seen EP 1 atm. Did not read the synopsis.

I'm indifferent to superhero shows. Haven't watched them in years. It feels somewhat grounded here, not the usual flash. On the other hand, we haven't gotten the complete reveal of each superpowered character yet.

I heard Bong Seok is adorable and this is totally true! Endearing.

The principal AND the other teacher Sung Wook gives off shady, creepy vibes.

I can handle some violence okay, but I was not prepared for the gruesome bloody scene especially when everything else was ordinary looking. That contrast was striking.

I will probably try to catch up this weekend??! 6 more episodes seems like a lot even though they are mostly smaller chunks. I'm used to two episodes at a time! XD

Moving
The mysterious speechless lady in the electric wheelchair: bad theories on her significance- go!

Wait, what???? How many episode of this series should be?
Not 7? Will there be more?

I’m at episode 4 and really looking forward to the adults’ stories. I like the kids too but can’t help thinking Hee-soo is too tactile. As someone who takes personal boundary seriously, I feel uneasy seeing Hee-soo touch her male friend so easily, and even ask him to hold her feet while she is exercising (and sweating). They are in senior year in high school, not kindergarten, aren’t they? And if I remember correctly, the PE hall has a bathroom where she showed once or twice, but she changes into the sports outfit right in the hall, not in the bathroom?? I would have enjoyed the kids’ moments more if it wasn’t for those instants.

Yes, this seems to be very engaging. Just wanted to share that this reminds me of a 1972 US television movie The People. Everyone in a remote village shuffled and at the end it was they could fly. Also thought of US television shoe Heroes. It will be fun to see where Moving takes us! Just bought access to HULU so lots of catching up to do!
