How Disney+ Moving Moved Me - A Review

Image
 Disney+ KDrama Moving is one of the best dramas for me this year.  Read: Moving is Disney+ Most Watched KDrama Why? It's a family drama with a twist. Moving truly excels as a family drama, not only because it tells of ordinary families with extraordinary powers, but because it has a heart. The characters are relatable, and their stories are plausible. Fear, hopelessness, regret, love, longing, friendship - you feel these every day, and you feel these while watching the characters, too. It's one of a kind. Sure, there are other superhero dramas out there, but "Moving" gives you the emotive aspect of having superpowers. The responsibility it entails, the sacrifices you have to make, the changes you need to adapt to. The drama is full of these, from Dusik's sacrifice to leave just so Mihyun and his son can be safer; to Juwon's adapting to what is considered normal just so Heesoo can live a normal life, too. This powerfully sad scene.. #MovingEp9 #Moving #TheNoo...
