OMG Miiiiii-Hyuuuuuunnn!
She stole the show.
The orchestra music
The slow deliberate walk
The falling snow
The loading of the gun
The removal of the glasses
I used to think Ju-Won or Doo-Sik was the most powerful.
I was wrong.
It’s Mi-Hyun 🤱🏻➕🔫➖👓🟰☠️☠️☠️

Moving EP 16-17

Anxiety
Adrenaline
Action
And more Character Development
I could barely breathe during these episodes.

So writer nim, we’ve just had 15 intense episodes of character development. We’re done with that and we’re gonna march on with the plot right?
Writer-Nim: hold my beer, I’ve got one more left.

“The Man Between”
I would have never guessed which character the title referred to.

Agent… NO… I mean teacher Il-Hwan.
I wasn’t expecting his backstory and I was even more surprised to feel so much empathy for a character I previously barely paid attention to. His transformation from an agent to a teacher was so heartwarming. I found myself cheering for him when he found his real self and started to fight for the kids and not the agency. (On another note- the same actor is in the Butt Touching show and to see his transformation here was shocking)

Bong-Seok and Hui-Soo continue their innocent and adorable mutual puppy love for each other. The contrast between the adorable moment Hui-Soo is gently slapping Bong-Seoks face to get him to open his eyes to the (now we are in love) moment when she’s just staring at him. They seem to give each other infinite courage but it’s clear that they will need more than courage.
When the N Korean agent hurt our Cinnabon Bong-Seok, I was triggered, but not as much as Hui-Soo.

The moment when Ju-Won walks in and sees Mi-Hyun. 🫀🫀🫀speechless. I could hear my heartbeat.

“but the devastating blow is when one of his students (x-ray vision woman’s daughter) collapses and dies while doing the tests. He didn’t realize she had cancer”

Well, not really. This was foreshadowed earlier. Naju’s daughter isn’t dead. Naju didn’t want her daughter to “live the life that she lived” and faked her death. You see the daughter at Naju’s funeral when Frank shows up- you see the difficult conversation Naju has with her daughter. Chalk it up to one more amazing parent who would do anything for her daughter.
I love how the writer portrays all the parents. I wonder if the daughter makes a reappearance or better yet Moving season 2
Did I mention - I want season 2

The parents will definitely protect their kids from the baddies. I can't wait for next week.

I like that Mi Hyun showed how badass she really is especially when her family is threatened. Even if we know JuWon regenerates, its still painful to see him take a beating. I can't wait for Jae Man to show up and throw his own superpowered punches.

I hope Bong Seok and Hee Soo coordinate their attacks to defeat or escape from the clutches of Joon Hwa. I wonder if Gye Do will be able to help them.

I am glad that there were kids who escaped from the NTDP. It would be great of we can meet up with the kid that can stop time. Also I wonder if Naju's daughter escaped too since I doubt that her daughter is dead. It can be Naju's elaborate plan to get her out of NTDP and Min's list.

I thought Director Min was a good judge of character and motivation, but he surely misjudged Teacher Il-hwan. Why is anyone surprised about him caring for his students? Hello, his main reason for wanting to be a Black agent was because he cared so much about this platoon.

Cha Tae Hyun playing a highschool student has got to be record holding for being the oldest actor to play the role, and I love it! It's not very convincing looks-wise, but he has such a fun and youthful aura about him. And to think I see some people complain about 30-somethings doing the same. Ha!

I love this show to bits, but I only have one gripe... Why the heck do they keep the kids' records in the school, on paper and written without a secret code or something???

Goodness, this is far and away the greatest webcomic adaptation of all time and it hasnt even ended yet. (Sorry Secretary Kim)

The slight changes they made have benefited the overall story but everything else has basically been beat-for-beat.

Han Hyo-joo has been fantastic throughout.

People have always complain about actresses getting "mom" roles when they near a certain age, but honestly, well written "mom" roles like this are rare.

Also, for a fantasy/superhero story, the characters are surprisingly grounded and relatable, good parents will always fight for their kids even if it means crossing certain ethical and moral lines.

Anxiety and tension. Woof, my heart was BEATING these episodes. I will cry when this drama ends, it is so good!!

This show’s superpower is its ability to make everything else I’m watching look like a shadow play. Guts, muscle, brains, HEART - it has it all.

Is Doo-shik the person in the trunk of the North Koreans' car?

Amidst all the awesomeness on display, I want to give a shout-out to the oblivious livestreamer girl who keeps walking right through every warning and danger signal in the world. I hope she's OK.

Moving was slow going for me and it only grabbed my interest when the parents' backstories were revealed and these episodes just confirmed for me that they are the standouts. I get that teens/kids will be teens/kids which includes lying, impulsivity, recklessness, etc but it's still so frustating to watch haha. Like you SEE the guy who just non chalantly threw you off a balcony and then was going to drop you from an even higher distance is hoving and the first thought isn't "run" but instead fight? Even if they ran, they probably get away from him but yeah.

I wonder how Ju Won is going to survive against a massive guy with apparently the same powerset as him.

Even if the parents are skilled, it's only 3 of them vs how many NK agents?

And I'm wondering who is in the trunk of the car and when Do Shik is gonna make his reappearance. Has he been brainwashed? Has he been threatened with his family's safety? Have they taking fluids from him to try to enhance or create another generation of superpowered kids?

All in all, my thoughts were the parents' badassery was on display, I liked that the teacher drawing a line in the sand and proclaiming himself a teacher and his instinct was just to try to save his student(s).

(Sidenote: not sure how the teacher could have possibly known the student had cancer. Maybe if there had been a pattern but there wasn't. They went from him giving a consultation (I think; I don't remember) to her mother wanting her to go somewhere to her fainting after being a bit out of it to her dying. But I guess the whole point was to show his compassion and emotionally attachment to the kids so okay.)

I'm really glad the parents finally met again!! I want to see the families come together and SLAY. 😎

Questions:
1. Why did they leave the "future of their country" (the kids) on hands of a regular human being with no powers and no weapons? If it wasn't for the parents, the teacher would probably be dead and the files exposed.

2. I'm pretty sure everyone knew a day like this was coming, so why didn't they give their kids some proper training?

Joo Won ahjussi can say "my kid doesn't get hurt", but what about Mi Hyun?
I know training your kid to learn how to fly could be risky, someone could see him at some point. But technically speaking, everything would've been better if he knew how to fly!

If he knew how to control his powers, he wouldn't need to go around with sand and water. His dad didn't, so yeah, that means it's possible to walk without floating. And not only that, Bong Seok would be able to fly away from danger.

Anyway, I can't wait for the final three episodes!! But at the same time I don't want it to end. 😭 I'm gonna miss Moving so much. 💛

Hum... If it was interesting to see the other kids with powers (so many of them!), I'm tired of the flashbacks. I found interesting they didn't show the face of the boy who can stop time. He seems important to the story if they hide his face.

I think Jang Ju-Won and Lee Mi-Hyun love their child but the lack of communication and learning is putting their kids in danger. Hui-Soo is not very clever... She was talking to a very weird guy like normally, when she should have remembered him from the bus, he couldn't pay and his face is hard to forget... And just trying to fight like this when she's not trained at all and her power doesn't really help to attack was stupid.

Deok-yoon (Park Hee-soon) is so cool. After Joo-won fought the Giant and told him, "You're next," he just nodded and calmly answered all right. Then when Joon-hwa called and Deok-yoon held up his hand for Joo-won to wait, omg.

I really think Ki-soo has special abilities. The Il-hwan/Ki-soo scene was so touching. Ki-soo worries about his teacher, while Il-hwan tells him to stay inside, then Ki-soo tries but fails to call for help, and Il-hwan throws himself on top of Ki-soo to shield him from the bullets. Last week, I had wondered if the boy from the sewer was Ki-soo, but his name was Choi Sung-woo, and I doubt that he would've become a bully. I wonder if Han Byul the YouTuber is live streaming all of this.

These episodes had my heartbeat racing! I thought I was a little done with the flashbacks but Il Hwan's story was touching. The man in between. I love the episode titles and how they clue in and surmise the overarching plot of each so well! Just another testament of how good the overall production is.
And Mi Hyun truly was the ultimate star for me! So effortlessly badass!
I can't wait for the ultimate showdown!
Also just got clued in that the time stopper kid is the protagonist of another of Kang Full's story, Timing. Very interesting.

Waiting patiently for the finale. The kids are barely trained and zero in any battle. Let’s see how all these work out.

Disney definitely scored with thisoriginal but seems too late.

I am glad that the final battle will be wrapped by parents, not the children since they are kind of immature and stupid in a childish way no complaints, but previously I assumed the opposite that's why I'm glad hehe. So we have 2 weeks for the end or do they wrap up in a single week, I mean they 2 episodes same day are they gonna release 3?

Wow the rating is currently 9.9 out of 10, that's really something.

But I've lost interest in the show as it is too gory for my taste. I still caught up with the latest ep and will watch until the end but I don't care about anyone's story anymore. I do think Han Hyo Joo is cool though.

The story of Il-Hwan was a pleasant surprise. This busy actor is also in Han River Police!

Kang Full has really elevated his game. Till episode 17 he has not put a foot wrong.

Only Cha Tae-hyun's character -  Bungaeman - who was not in webtoon, feels little underwhelming. Hopefully he will get a satisfying character arc in the remaining 3 episodes.

Kang Full says in his latest interview that "the stories would be neatly tied up to suit the viewers' palate though the endings might be slightly different from the original comic".

So when is Wednesday!!??

For all the flak Mihyun is getting for not training Bongseok, let's remember that she sheltered him in order to protect him as advised by Doosik, whose disappearance obviously took a great toll their family unit and cemented the idea that they needed to hide.

Granted, Mihyun should have told Bongseok about his dad and explained why his powers could endanger him. But ultimately this type of parenting rings true to life. She's just another parent who makes certain choices without fully thinking through how those choices may affect their child in the long-run.

It's complicated but it's also simple; Mihyun is not perfect but she loves her son.

Unpopular Opinion Time:

As much as I appreciate Moving's objective greatness as a well-told story, I don't feel awfully emotionally invested in the characters.

I boil this down to not caring for Bongseok and Huisoo... Sorry I know y'all love them but I just cannot connect with them. Believe me, I've tried. I feel like Kanghoon is the only kid who is living in reality. Kisoo is also living in reality and more interesting for it.

It doesn't help that GYJ's delivery is totally flat to me and all I can see is Naksu-Not-Naksu. But I do believe that watching Bongseok watch Huisoo running laps all day would be really tedious regardless of the actress.

I only really started enjoying the show when the adults took over. I can't wait to see what Mihyun, Doosik and Jaeman will do next (but not Juwon because we know he's just going to keep regenerating until something gives 😂)

Bongseok flying gave me so much life I love him sm & i was so proud of him :')))))))))

I fear for the last 3 eps as we have quite a number of villains (NK & NIS) VS our undertrained kids + parents.

Only three episodes left. I can imagine there will be some loose ends so I'm hoping for a season 2. One thing I noticed many viewers simply glossed over or missed is that the last agent who appeared and apprehended Doo-sik (while Mi-Hyun escapes with Bong-Seok) was, Ma Sang Gu, the same maniac from Operation Seagull. Meaning, he is probably still a NIS black agent and another big bad lurking out there!

This just came to me as I was going through the comments. What if the person in the trunk was Frank? We have not seen him since, and I think a few of us still suspect that he made it out alive. I do hope that it is not Frank though, unless he chooses to fight against the NK agents .
