What to Expect Next if There's a Second Season of Moving

Image
 Moving Season 2 has not yet been announced, but there better be one after that post credit scene?  READ: Moving director dishes out on possible season 2 Yes, everyone is safe, for now. But why does Bongseok have to hide with his family? (I assumed because he did not attend graduation and has not been meeting Heesoo at all). This alone may mean trouble is not yet over. SPOILERS AHEAD! These are all theories and questions that need to be answered. In the finale episode, we heard two new names: Elias and Kim Shinjo. Elias is one of the children being trained in the US along with Frank, the assassin at the start of the series. We know that Frank's major power is healing. So it was no wonder seeing him again at the post-credit scene. So what will Elias' power be? If he ever appears in the 2nd season and will be given the same mission as Frank, he will be after Mihyun, Doosik, Jaeman, Juwon, and Gyedo. I wonder how he would accomplish this task. So this was Frank and Elias whe...

"A Time Called You" Faces Criticisms for Unrealistic Portrayal of 1998 South Korea

Image
 A Time Called You has been an anticipated remake of the hit Taiwanese drama Someday or One Day, but according to an article , it did not live to the expectations, and many were left disappointed. READ: Jeon Yeo Been struggles to film a kiss scene in A Time Called You One of these disappointments are the inaccuracies in the portrayal of 1998 South Korea. 1. Driving of scooters In those days, the majority of high school students were prohibited from operating scooters without a license, so if you happened to be riding one, you were probably seen as a troublemaker. In contrast, the two male protagonists in the story are exemplary students, which may pose a challenge for viewers to relate to. 2. School Although the story is set in a rural high school, the outside scenes were shot at Yonsei University, which gave the school a prestigious and affluent appearance, and the interior scenes were filmed on a set. This depiction starkly contrasted with the intended image of a humble countrysi...

He said, In Sung is incredibly good-looking. I'm pretty sure nobody will disagree with me on that. Even if he picked his nose or something, he probably would still look good. In the very first scene that In Sung's character appears in the series, he's a fugitive living a poor life in the countryside, hiding from a National Intelligence Service agent named 'Min'. He is seen working in the orchard. As we were filming this scene, we faced an unexpected obstacle because of his looks.  He's saying that Jo In Sung cannot be this handsome as a poor guy.

A Time Called You - A Timeless Masterpiece

Image
 A Time Called You, watch it and feel the roller coaster of emotions that is called "love". As I always mention, this drama is a masterpiece in its own right. It may have been a remake, but it was wonderfully written, true to the original.  Cinematography is beautiful, the contrast between the 80s to the 90s to 2023 was done magnificently, it was very easy to distinguish which era you are watching.  The time travel plot may be confusing sometimes. But if you really pay attention, it's easy to understand. Although there was a part of the 2nd half where it was harder to understand. I just repeated the episode, and the plot became clearer. This kind of love in KDrama is very wonderful. The jittery feeling of first love, the comfort of mature love, the overwhelming pain of separating from the love of your life and the bittersweet feel of being united again. The main leads gave wonderful performances. Jeon Yeo Been's transition from introvert to extrovert and back was so s...
