An uncomfortable PLEASURE.

"Somebody" is gonna be a work that will remain in my memory for quite a long time for it's way of storytelling. Some disturbing scenes but yet so artistic for the cinematography.
It might get a bit boring for those who don't prefer dark and slow paced thrillers. Few scenes were too long and few just ended abruptly which should've been stretched a bit longer. I did feel there loopholes here and there in the story which could;ve been a little more explained.
However, a real nice one! Something absolutely new in the industry. Cinematography...boom! Acting...top-notch! All should really give it a shot I believe... not for the story, but for the amazing performance delivered by each cast!
Kim Young Kwang, Kang Hae Lim, Kim Demi did an absolute wonderful job. KYK is seen mostly in rom-coms, son to rich family and all. But he really showed his A-Class performance by coming out of that zone...hats off to him!
Also, the BGMs all sat so perfectly. If anyone knows the songs that played in the BG, please lemme know TT

OVERALL, I did enjoy the series.

The Unusual Thriller

May I dare say Moving is undoubtedly one of the best dramas of 2023!
Hands down to every single person, from the cast to the production staff...SALUTE!!
I rather started late watching the series, after 17 episodes came out in two weeks. But the show got me so glued to it that I ended watching the released 17 episodes in a few hours of matter, that how much the intriguing the show was. I generally ain't a fan of superpower or superhero genre. But yah, here I am waiting impatiently for another season.
The biggest CLAP deserves Kim Feel, the OG writer of the manga series. The cast? OUTSTANDING!! With a star-studded cast like Han Hyo Joo, Jo In Sung, Ryoo Seung Ryong, Kim Sung Kyun, Cha Tae Hyun in the parents generation and the super talented newbies cast could the drama have gone wrong? This was the BESTEST cast ever for a top-notch drama like that. Apart from the main casts, the antagonists they have given their 10000000% to indulge in the roles. The cinematography, use of proper CGI effects, the BGMs everything was so just perfect.
Also the storyline and it's flow was so DAMN GOOD! Every single character getting their individual story narrated, their entanglements showed in the most simplest way. I absolutely loved even how the antagonists had their story narrated and how they ended up where they were. Such good storytelling.
The kids and the parents relationship was the main objective right? Did they fail? NO....absolute win.
And last but not the least, the way the Northern Antagonists were represented, clap clap clap! For once they were not the bad guys and instead victims to the systems who sacrifices the innocent lives. As Park Hee Son said in the final episode, "The people are innocent. Those who force sacrifices are to blame."
So I loved the whole thing. HHJ posted the poster on her IG captioning the post "I'm truly proud of this show. Go Moving"...Even I as an admirer of the whole cast would sincerely say "I am truly proud of this show!"
