What's the Story?
In MOVING, a teen named Kim Bong-seok (Lee Jeong-ha) wakes up from a dream where he's falling to Earth from the atmosphere. As his mother loads his backpack with heavy stuff, strapping weights around his ankles, it becomes clear that Bong-seok isn't like other kids. He doesn't know it, but there are others around him who also possess powers. One day, a mysterious stranger (Ryoo Seung-bum) arrives on an airplane, intent upon finding the people with superpowers and "deleting" them. How will kids like Bong-seok stay safe? Where did these powers come from?
Is It Any Good?
Strong character development and compelling back-stories make for a gripping action show geared towards teens. Moving successfully illustrates how a society is held together by parents who make sacrifices for their kids and teens who care about following rules. It's funny and sweet, scary and exciting -- great for a weekend of binge watching.
Teens who like action and can handle a little gore will enjoy this the most, but those who are sensitive can look away during the fight scenes because they're rather quick. Parents may find the political undertones subtle and complex enough to enjoy this one too.
