I had very high expectations for Light Shop and it did not disappoint! It was great! It was written and created by webtoon artist, Kang Full, also the creator of Moving. I love Moving so much! It was an excellent drama and a tough act to follow. It won so many awards including Baeksang and Blue Dragon Daesang. Light Shop was also directed by rookie director Kim Hee Won, who also starred in Moving. It really is a multiverse. Moving nation, go check it out! There are Easter eggs at the last 15 minutes of episode 8. Moving Season 2 here we go!

It started out as horror but as the story unfolds it seemed more of a melodrama exploring human relationships. It's a journey of the human soul: denial, acceptance and finally transition. It's very interesting and unique concept with a refreshing way to tell a story. It definitely piqued my curiosity. Everyone is theorizing who is actually alive, who is dead, where and when and how. The cast boasts an ensemble group of talented actors. The cinematography is gorgeous and the CGI is good. The set design is well-crafted and extremely detailed. Wonyoung's shop is just exquisite! It looked like it came right out of a Studio Ghibli movie.

I don't really have any criticism towards the drama but it would have been nice if some actors got a little more screen time. I think it would have been great to see Ju Ji Hoon and Park Bo Young at least in one frame together. Having said, that the cast gave an outstanding performance in all their scenes. Lee Jung Eun gave one heck of a performance with the limited minutes she had and worthy of an Oscar. Although technically she is an Oscar winner. I understand that the original webtoon is actually just very short. The cast is huge but the drama only has 8 episodes. They definitely made the best out of it. Adding fillers would have probably just made the drama dragging and lose sight of focus. That is why it was crucial that Disney brought Kang Full on board to be part of the drama's creative process and to ensure consistency. Looking forward to their future collaboration(s).

Kudos to the directorial debut of Kim Hee Won. I think he did a fantastic job! He had his hands full for the past few years. Acting in Moving, directing Light Shop, and also acting in the movie Project Silence alongside the late Lee Sun Kyun. Ahjusshi, you are missed. I hope you found the light. 💡

Moving Season 2

Writer Kang Full has begun writing the script for Season 2 of 'Moving', setting off on a full-fledged voyage. According to an OSEN interview on the 10th, Writer Kang Full has already begun working on the script for Season 2 of 'Moving', and several of the lead actors from Season 1 have also been informed of this fact.

However, it has been reported that filming will likely begin in the year after next. Because it is a large-scale project with so many top stars to coordinate, it has been reported that they are aiming for 2026 after going through the pre-production process. 

There is also great interest in what kind of story Writer Kang Full will cover in Season 2 of 'Moving'. It will be interesting to see whether the 'Moving' series, based on a webtoon, will follow the existing 'Bridge' and 'Timing', and how effectively the characters from Season 1 will reappear.

Regarding this, writer Kang Full said on the radio show "Heo Ji Woong Show" last year, "I'm also going to do a season 2, but it's a bit complicated." He continued, "'Bridge' and 'Hidden' are sequels that were teased in the webtoon, but if we go that way, a work called 'Timing' would also have to come out, and if that happens, the story would become too vast. Viewers who enjoyed the drama 'Moving' so far would want the story of 'Moving' to continue, but if a different story suddenly comes out, they'll wonder, 'What is this?'" He expressed deep concerns.

In response to suspicions that he had predicted Yoo Seung Ho for the character of Kim Young Tak, a time-powered person (Time Stopper) who appeared briefly in the last episode, Kang Full said, "I was surprised too. But I didn't predict it," and "I didn't know that we would have the same date of birth. It wasn't intentional. I don't know what will happen in the end, but I didn't know for sure."

Previously, 'Moving' season 1 was released in August last year through Disney+ with a total of 20 episodes, and boasted a splendid cast including Ryu Seung-ryong, Jo In-sung, Han Hyo-joo, Cha Tae-hyun, Ryu Seung-beom, Kim Sung-kyun, and rising stars Lee Jung-ha, Go Yoon-jung, and Kim Do-hoon. Kang Full, the writer of the original webtoon 'Moving', took charge of the script himself and joined forces with Netflix's 'Kingdom' season 2 director Park In-je. The production cost was a whopping 50 billion won, and it garnered attention from the planning stage.

Proving that 'there is a lot to eat at a famous feast', 'Moving' ranked first in the Disney+ TV show category worldwide, and captured the hearts of global fans not only in the United States but also in Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Argentina, receiving favorable reviews from foreign media.

this is asking you what you think with a bit of a ramble. What do you think about the characters with disability in moving? With the dad and the butcher's son. I found interesting the emphasis on them not being a burden, the detail of putting the butcher's son in the end, helping his mom I found touching, especially seeing that Korean society is heading or already is in that every human being must be perfect (perfect skin, perfect height, perfect face, perfect grades…)

Love the ramble, and I think they put that in there with a light but beautiful touch. I would love to hear what others think about this, too. To my mind, the writer or PD or both wanted to inoculate their story against the eugenicist implications of superhero storytelling. The state is running a eugenics unit: there's a breeding program, they are grooming the kids with abilities in that school, and Mr Min turns away from Jae-man in disgust when he realises that he has a disability. It means he can't use him.

I like the counterpoint of the butcher's son being somewhat like two other two neurodivergent characters with superhuman physical strength (Yong-deuk and Jae-man). He, too, has an intellectual disability and is physically overpowering. Mi-hyun uses his strength as a tactic to get cribbing customers to shut up. But he doesn't have super abilities. He's an ordinary person. I think that, too, is a conscious break in the pattern. The idea is not to suggest that someone with an intellectual disability can be valuable because they have some compensatory talent.

There are superheroes, and then there are heroes. In both Jae-man and the butcher's son's case those are the women in their lives. One has a wife who has clearly fought like a tiger her whole life to protect her husband. And one has a mother who loves her son but understands the importance of not keeping him tied to her. He isn't a burden: he is his own person. Perhaps in Yong-deuk's case that person is Hui-soo: someone who sees him not as a foreigner but one of her own.
