It stars Han Hyo-joo, Zo In-sung, Ryu Seung-ryong, Cha Tae-hyun, Ryoo Seung-bum, Lee Jung-ha, Kim Sung-kyun, Go Youn-jung and Kim Do-hoon. “Moving” tells the story of ordinary students who possess superhuman abilities. They include Kim Bongseok (Lee Jungha, “Nevertheless”), who has the ability of flight; Jang Huisoo (Go Younjung), who can heal quickly; and Lee Ganghoon (Kim Dohoon), who has super strength. Despite their superhuman powers, they choose to keep it a secret from everyone and learn to control them to live their lives as regular students. However, government agencies seek to exploit them for their own means and also to eliminate them to rid the world of superhumans. Amid the threat of enemies, they must prepare themselves to protect their friends and family, and fight against all who want to harm them. As they use their powers for survival, they uncover secrets about themselves and the people they care about. Ryu Seung-ryong (“Kingdom,” “Extreme Job,” “Miracle in Cell No. 7”) is Jang Joo-won. His character has “regenerative abilities but then he does feel the pain,” he said during the “Moving” press conference in Seoul on Aug. 3 This marks Zo In-sung’s return to drama after seven years. In “Moving,” he plays the role of Kim Doosik, a black agent who has the ability to fly. “He is the best black agent in NIS [National Intelligence Service]. And there are highly confidential missions that he takes on. He has very good capabilities,” Zon In-sung said. Han Hyo-joo plays the role of Lee Mi-hyeon, Doosik’s wife. “Lee Mi-hyeon has superhuman senses. She can see and hear things at a superhuman level. She was the youngest NIS agent in history. My secret mission was to keep Doosik under my watch,” said Han Hyo-joo whose last drama project was the 2021 thriller “Happiness.” Cha Tae-hyun (“Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds,” “My Sassy Girl”) is Jeon Gye-do, a character that is not in the original webtoon who has the ability to produce electricity. Director Park Inje said after completing the series, “I am a little overwhelmed. I have this sort of feeling of sadness almost. We worked so much with the staff and crew who are so talented. I feel like I wish I could have done more, I could have done better. Throughout the 20 episodes, I hope that you can truly feel and immerse yourselves in those high-tension and emotional journeys. I feel like we did a great job maintaining that level of excitement.” Kang Full also wrote the series and said he has “a mixture of feelings. I have been in this job and have been a cartoonist for a very long time. Usually when I work on a series like webtoons, I work by myself. But working on this show, I had people that I would lean on.” “Moving” will debut with a seven-episode premiere on Aug. 9 on Disney+.
