Moving (2023– )
9/10
"You're not weird at all, just a bit special."

Moving is a big-budget Disney+ original series surrounding three high school students with genetic superhuman abilities living quietly with their retired parents. But their lives turn upside down when powerful organizations start to hunt them down one by one.

Moving is reportedly the most expensive Korean TV series to date and it really shows in the production. It has massive action sequences, and extensive fight scenes that get so graphic you'd think you're watching The Raid movies. The visual effects look fantastic and there's this stunning flying scene at the end of episode 7 that looks straight out of a hollywood superhero picture.

But the best thing about this series and why it works so much is because of the sublime casting. From the top acclaimed cast to the young leads, there's no weak link as everyone clearly delivers and it's satisfying to see the young actors keeping up and not being outshined by their seniors.

Another thing, despite the packed main characters with respective back stories, Moving's seamless shifts between the past events and present timeline keeps the mystery and anticipation active. It also truly helps that the protagonists who are taking us through the story are endearing and charismatic. And although this centers around people with super powers, it still feels very much grounded and the in-depth relationship between the characters is still the main aspect of the story.

Moving brilliantly blends action, drama, romance, humor, and creates this high-class and exhilarating superhero drama full of heart that we rarely see in Asian TV. Let's support quality content and stream Moving available worldwide on Hulu and Disney+.
