Moving was......MOVING!!!

DISCLAIMER!!!
I may have some serious biases lol because, in my opinion, this is the BEST kdrama this year. Fight me on this!

The whole premise of MOVING revolves around the children of 3 former ANSP agents and 1 father who is madly protective of his son. It basically dives into their backstory and what their life was like prior to becoming parents. How they were taken advantage of and have gone into hiding in order to prevent their children from not being used for selfish gains like they were.

Shows that tend to focus on the children of people with superhuman abilities most often tend to graze over the parent's backstories and just hyper-focus on the kids which isn't necessarily a bad thing. With MOVING, I love the special attention to not only the parents, the children, or the agency but also the enemies as well. We got backstories and explanations for every angle of this story. I commend the writers and directors on this cause this is something that's hard to execute without losing the main plot and straying far ultimately losing the attention of viewers and confusing everyone in the process. The shifting/time jumps in each episode felt natural and didn't feel rushed or cause confusion. And even when a plot line/time jump wasn't explained in the following episode it didn't cause any confusion and was picked up in another episode and tied in perfectly with the situation happening at that time.

I'm patiently awaiting season 2 because the writers have a lot of explaining to do.

1) YoungTak and his time-stopping power. Who is he? Why did he transfer in his senior year? Did they know about his power? Who are his parents and did they work with the ANSP? so many questions to answer.
2) Who tf is that girl that walked into YoungJoon's office? Is she the true brains behind that operation?
3) Naju's daughter. Her death had to be faked. Where is she? What happened to her truly and did the ANSP track her down?
4) Frank. Is he actually dead?
5) KiSoo. who is he really? How did his injury happen and why does he know about those with abilities?
6) That new guy in the last scene. What slimy shady selfish reasons in the name of 'protect and serve our country' is he gonna do now?
7) Are there more people with abilities?
So many questions that season 2 needs to answer and I can't wait.

Love is for the cutie pie couple (Park JiWan & John Jang) not The ML or FL.

I’ve had my fair share of terribly written dramas but never seen one such as this. How a writer can write the side couple way better than the main leads is beyond me.

When this first aired I wasn’t interested. It’s only because of tictok that I even watched this in the first place. I saw clips of Park Ji Wan and John Jang all over sns. The plot is okay. It’s light hearted and easy to watch. What’ll frustrate you is the cat and mouse dance between the main lead couple. Personally after ep 5, I started skipping scenes when the ml’s would show up in because I just couldn’t watch how terribly their plot was written.

If you’re looking for something to pass the time while your currently aired dramas are on, go ahead. Just don’t expect much from it

4 kinds of Love

Theory of love really portrayed a realistic version one one sided love, and shows different throws of love we’ll all experience in life.

1. The love that endures. This is Third! Him loving Khai for 3 years and having the patience to endure the pain that came with the love.
2. The live that changes you the the better. Khai was not the best at the beginning. He craved loved but never knew or even experienced what true love was like. Which is why when he was trying to re-write Third’s list of things he hated about him, Third told him to give up cause he couldn’t complete number 7 which was He didn’t know how to love and only loved himself.
3. The unexpected love. After the Two and P’Un’s “rescue” fiasco with the assumed suicide, I believe Two began to fall but never realized it. He likes Lynn but was also questioning his feelings towards P’Un. Eventually he realized where his heart was leading him and found happiness.
4. Sacrificial love. This was Bone all the way. Even though he eventually found love, he sacrificed what he wanted to see Paan be happy and as much as that had to hurt, her happiness meant the world to him even if it wasn’t with him.

Su Ji and U Ri: A Lengthy Struggle Without Depth

My Thoughts:

To sum it up, Su Ji and U Ri lacked depth plain and simple. From the start, it felt like none of the characters were given enough layers to truly connect with the audience. Jin Soo Ji, the female lead, was a particularly disappointing portrayal. It was obvious from the get-go that the writer intended for her to be a “professional doormat,” a trope overused and frustrating in this case. Instead of showing growth or resilience in a meaningful way, Soo Ji simply existed to be torn down by everyone, especially by Na Young and Jang Yun Ja, the two villains. Eventually she does become happy but she still have those 2 access to her and always made herself readily available for whatever bs they would be up to.

Speaking of villains, Na Young, while introduced as the antagonist, was an utter disappointment in her arc. The show teased a strong motive for her actions—an inferiority complex that led her to sabotage Soo Ji—but the so-called redemption arc felt lazy and unearned. A “petty excuse” wrapped up her behavior, as if the writers suddenly decided to spare her from consequences. And Jang Yun Ja? She never got the punishment she deserved, neither for hurting Su Ji nor her mother. Typical Kdrama writer fashion—wrongs are often forgiven without proper justice.

Chae Woo Ri, the male lead, wasn’t much better. While his introduction suggested he would be this righteous, justice-driven character, he never really became more than a bland, two-dimensional lead. It’s a shame, given that the potential for a more dynamic and nuanced rivalry-turned-romance between him and Su Ji was there. But it just never took off.

If all that wasn’t enough, the drama dragged unnecessarily. At 128 episodes, this story could have easily been wrapped up in 50. Every episode after the 50th felt like filler, with pointless subplots like the relationship dynamic between Sun Young and the uncle. It was evident from the start that she had no romantic interest in him, yet the writer forced them together in the end, making their relationship feel painfully contrived.

The ending? It was just okay. After all the chaos and aimless character arcs, I didn’t expect much, and what we got was simply “good enough.” It wasn’t the grand conclusion I hoped for, but at least it was done.

Final Advice: If you’re thinking about watching Su Ji and U Ri, skip most of the fluff. Five minutes of the beginning, middle, and end of each episode will give you all you need. There’s no reason to waste time on the endless filler, and you’ll save yourself a lot of frustration in the process.
