Unmet Expectations: A Disappointing Experience with "Moving"

Pros:
-FTX and Makeup Quality: The series does shine in terms of FTX and makeup, showcasing a commendable level of technical skill.
-Doo Sik and Mi Hyun's Love Story: The slow-burn love story between Doo Sik and Mi Hyun provides a redeeming element, offering a genuinely enjoyable aspect within the overall narrative.
-Ryu Seung-ryong's acting: He just doesn't fail at delivering his role, truly a versatile actor.

Cons:
-Overrated and Overhyped: Despite high ratings, "Moving" falls short of the hype, leaving viewers with unmet expectations.
-Not Action-Oriented: Contrary to expectations, the series leans more towards romance than action, potentially disappointing fans seeking an adrenaline-fueled experience.
-Cringeworthy Script and Lack of Depth: The script is criticized for being cringeworthy and lacking depth, preventing the narrative from achieving a meaningful impact. The fact that they overused "Who are you?", "Do you want to die?", "Bastards" and things that don't even need to be said make it so hard to watch.
-Excessive Side Characters: The presence of numerous side characters with insignificant stories adds unnecessary complexity, diluting the main plot and contributing to a disjointed narrative.
-Absence of Main Plot Line: The series suffers from a lack of a clear main plot line, resulting in a narrative that feels scattered and disorganized.
-Villains: Black-and-White and Boring: The one-dimensional portrayal of villains with a lack of depth and development adds to the overall disappointment.
-Wasted Talents: Despite a cast of great actors, including Ryu Seung-ryong, Park Hee-soon, Jo Insung, Cha Tae-hyun, and Han Hyo-joo, the series fails to leverage their talents effectively.


"Moving" may have some technical merits and a redeeming love story, but the overwhelming issues, including a lack of villain's motives and main plot line, cringeworthy script, and wasted talent, make it difficult to recommend, especially for fans expecting an engaging action and crime series.
