One of the most highly anticipated drama series of 2023 has now just premiered on Disney+, and avid drama fans have already caught up to the first 7 episodes.
'Moving', based off of a bestselling webtoon series of the same name by renowned author Kang Full, tells the stories of people with extraordinary superhuman powers. The blockbuster-scale series garnered attention early on not only for its massive production budget of over 60 billion KRW (~ $45 million USD), but also for its extravagant veteran cast, including Ryu Seung Ryong, Jo In Sung, Han Hyo Joo, Cha Tae Hyun, Ryu Seung Bum, and more.
The series just premiered worldwide on Disney+ on August 9 KST, revealing the first seven episodes which together make up the "prologue" of the story. After this week, two episodes will be released every Wednesdays all the way up to its final at episode 20.
According to drama fans, the first handful of episodes can be considered somewhat "slow", focussing on introducing the characters and the storyline rather than jumping right into the action. In particular, some were thrown off by the fact that a large proportion of the first few episodes centers around the daily lives of the three young high school age characters, played by Lee Jung Ha (Bong Suk), Go Yoon Jung (Hee Soo), and Kim Do Hoon (Kang Hoon).
Despite the fact that the series has a "slow" start, many drama fans agreed that actress Go Yoon Jung, who plays the role of Jang Hee Soo, made the viewing experience worthwhile.
As one netizen pointed out, "The best thing about this series so far is Go Yoon Jung. She is literally 'Moving' the production. For people who went in expecting heroic action, the first 3 episodes will have you going 'Huh?' with mostly high school romance going on, but Go Yoon Jung makes it acceptable. She is so pretty."
Others also complimented the actress and also found the series worth the "slow" start, commenting,
"Go Yoon Jung portrayed her character perfectly. I was honestly surprised. Ryu Seung Bum obviously killed it; the male lead can be a little awkward sometimes, but not so much that it interrupts the flow."
"Go Yoon Jung was so gorgeous covered in blood and mud. Need I say more?"
"How is Go Yoon Jung that pretty and talented??"
"She is really one of the best things about this series."
"It takes a little bit of time to get used to the male lead, but otherwise the rest of the cast is incredible and the hair salon action scene... nailed it."
"The high school characters are really cute. The more you get to know them, the more you anticipate what's going to happen next."
"It's really well made. I binged all 7 episodes."
"Agreed, I'm in love with Go Yoon Jung right now."
"I enjoyed the first seven episodes so much, I bought the webtoon kekekeke. Go Yoon Jung's character is so good."
"I subscribed to Disney+ just for this series."
Did you watch 'Moving' on Disney+ yet?
I enjoyed the first 7 episodes that were released and can’t wait for these rest. All actor shown did a great job, most of all HHJ is doing great in a mother role she plays the character well. I enjoyed the romance between JHS and KBS. I
