I hope that everyone who confesses today has their love come true. And, by any chance, if there is anyone who hasn't been confessed to by the one they love yet… or, if you're suffering from love-related pains... don't be too sad.

Another person may be in love with you, right now.

And they may just confess to you out of the blue.

That they've liked you for a long time, even though you were totally unaware.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung’s Characters Find Their Happy Ending

The Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ has come to an end with its 20th episode, delivering a satisfying conclusion for the characters and the viewers. The superhero action drama, based on the webtoon by Kang Full, starred Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and other talented actors as people with hidden superpowers who fight against dark forces.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: The Final Battle

(Photo : Disney+) The finale episode began with a tense showdown between Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Joon Hwa (Yang Dong Geun), a North Korean soldier who also has the ability to fly. Mi Hyun was in danger of being killed by Joon Hwa, but her son Kim Bong Seok (Lee Jung Ha) came to her rescue and fought against him. However, Mi Hyun wanted Bong Seok to run away, knowing that the North Korean troop leader Kim Deok Yoon (Park Hee Soon) was aiming a gun at him. Fortunately, Bong Seok was saved by Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun), who used his electromagnetic power to kill Joon Hwa. Deok Yoon then tried to escape with the files that contained the secrets of the superpowered people, but he was chased by Jang Joo Won (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) to the rooftop.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Joo Won and Jae Man confronted Deok Yoon, who revealed that he had been working for Frank (Ryoo Seung Bum), a mysterious man who wanted to use the superpowers for his own agenda. Deok Yoon also confessed that he was the one who killed Jae Man’s father 50 years ago, when he was part of a secret mission to capture the superpowered people. Deok Yoon then tried to jump off the building with the files, but he was stopped by Joo Won, who grabbed his arm. Jae Man then shot Deok Yoon in the chest, causing him to fall. Joo Won managed to hold on to the files and pulled himself up.

The Aftermath

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) A year later, the superpowered people were living normal lives without being hunted by anyone. Jang Hee Soo (Go Youn Jung) and Lee Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) graduated from high school with their parents’ attendance, except for Bong Seok and Mi Hyun, who had gone into hiding since the incident. Joo Won continued his chicken business with Kwon Young Deuk (Park Gwang Jae), a former North Korean soldier who became his assistant. Hee Soo entered the university’s physical education department and became friends with Shin Hye Won (Shim Dal Gi), a girl who had super speed. Kang Hoon visited Mr. Min (Moon Sung Geun), the head of the NIS, and expressed his desire to join the agency with one condition: to clear his father’s name from criminal records. Mr. Min agreed and revealed that Kang Hoon’s father was actually a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the superpowered people from Frank.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Kang Hoon also met the school guard and his classmate who disguised themselves as part of Jeonwon High School, but in reality they were high-ranking NIS officials who had been monitoring the superpowered people. Bong Seok and Mi Hyun left town and lived a peaceful life in a rural area. They occasionally received letters from Hee Soo and Kang Hoon, who updated them on their lives. Hee Soo also told them about a superhero wearing a yellow cape who appeared in Seoul and saved people from danger. In the last scene, it was revealed that the superhero was Kim Doo Shik (Zo In Sung), Bong Seok’s father and Mi Hyun’s husband, who had been held captive by Frank for 50 years. He managed to escape with the help of Park Il Chan (Jo Bok Rae), a North Korean soldier who sympathized with him. Doo Shik returned to South Korea and killed Frank, who had been hiding as an American businessman named Mark (Daniel C Kennedy). He then reunited with his family and hugged them tightly.

The Reviews

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) The final episode of ‘Moving’ received positive reviews from both critics and viewers, who praised the cast’s performances, the director’s skills, and the writer’s creativity. The series also achieved high ratings on Disney+, becoming one of the most-watched original shows on the platform. Some of the comments from netizens are: “I’m so happy that they all got their happy endings. Especially Doo Shik, he deserved it after suffering for so long.” “This was such a great series.

They nailed their roles and made me feel all kinds of emotions. I hope they work together again in the future.” “Moving was one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. It stayed true to the webtoon but also added some twists and surprises. Kang Full is a genius and Park In Je is a master.” “I’m so glad that I watched this show.

This is my third time watching Reply 1988. I confess though, that I skip some scenes that bore or annoy me. I've been trying to search for the scene where Deok Sun jokingly said Dong Ryong is her soulmate. Is there anyone out here who knows what episode it is?

Ahhh, a break from representation issues and super serious artistic films. This was a blockbuster action comedy from South Korea, and according to wikipedia, the second most viewed movie of all time in South Korea as of May 2019, and made back 14X its 5.8 mil$ budge. Does it deserve such accolades?

My opinion: Yes!

It was an awesome and hilarious action flick with a lot of personality within every character. Chief Go the determined but downtrodden and unlucky team leader. Ma the weird but earnest human terminator with many hidden talents. Jang the sardonic almost-serial-killer with a heart of gold. Youngho the only straight man who nevertheless gets sucked into team antics. And Jaehoon, the young and idiotic young buck who wants to do everything and anything to help! Together, can they finally catch the drug lords before their boss disbands their squad for being so inept? Or will the fail by succeeding too well at making delicious fried chicken?

The comedy was delicious and crunchy. My favorite bits:

- Team hiding behind the frosted portion of the restaurant's glass wall. From the outside, all 5 of their shadows are extremely obvious and suspicious.

- Team setting up police surveillance equipment and materials in the lobby of the restaurant. Potential customers come through the door, and they have to dramatically throw all their maps and stuff off the board. They do this a bunch of times before locking the door.

- Team members cheering at their success at making chicken, before the realization hits them what success entails. Cut to them being extremely busy with the restaurant being very popular.

- The whole team complaining about how overworked they are making chicken and questioning whether they are even still police detectives. A customer calls and Chief Go answers "Suwon Rib Chicken, can chicken even be so good?", and everyone immediately goes to make chicken.

- Go presents his wife with a real Gucci bag, filled with money. She screams with surprise. Then unties her hair, and says to him "I'm gonna take a shower."

- When the team finally gets to deliver to the drug pushers across the street from the restaurant, so they roll out in V formation, and each member splits off to infiltrate with that ninja wushu ultra-instinct speed flow. Turns out the drug pushers have moved out already because the restaurant attracted too many people.

- The team being pissed at the drug pushers using their chicken chain, partially because the illegal drug thing but also pissed that they're ruining the brand!

- Final battle with the drug gang, each team member is revealed to be a seasoned fighter, except for the Jaehoon, who is just pain resistant, has a good bat swinging arm, and has just tasted some of the drugs and is now completely insane.

- Ma and Jang making out. The other three: >_>. Youngho to another officer: "Hey, can I have your gun? I need to shoot somebody. Is it loaded? Cmon dude I just need it for a second". Chief Go on the stretcher: "Please....make them stop...."

- The final scene where the team gets promoted, first smile normally, and then smile crazily

There are a lot more subtle jokes that I forget about.

In my opinion, the fried chicken restaurant portion, which only takes up the first half of the movie, was way too short. I really liked the faux philosophical quotes about fried chicken being the food of the Korean people. I felt the movie as a whole was a lot like Korean fried chicken; nothing too fancy and complicated, but very good and delicious, and shows Korean style and character.

Chief Go is played by Ryu Seung-ryong, who looks like a hardass working-class korean dad with thick eyebrows. Apparently he voiced the pimp in the Seoul Station animated movie and is a Japanese general in the Admiral Yi movie. Jang is played by Honey Lee, who was Miss Korea 2006. Youngho's actor is Lee Donghwi, who is handsome even with the mustache; I want to watch his other famous movie, Confidential Assignment, which is apparently another good North-Korean-spy-teams-up-with-South-Korean-cop thriller. Jaehoon is played by Gong Myung, who's younger brother is in NCT? Ma is played by Jin Seonkyu, and he's in Kingdom, the zombie netflix series.

Oh and the writer AND director is Lee Byeongheon. Definitely look forward to more of his work.

I like detective and police stories, but being in the US, I can't shake the racial aspects out of western cop flicks, with Blue Lives Matter and all that gross stuff. I get much less of that from Asian police stories, despite it still featuring police brutality and corruption, it just feels less...idk, disengenuous? Like I don't have the association of Asian cops being 'pigs' like I do for white cops, even if they are equally brutal. Is it just my own racial bias? Regardless, I'd like to watch more.

When I was in college, I asked someone what was the best Kdrama she ever watched, of all time. She has seen several Korean TV series already. And she gave me one answer.

I just got to watch that series now. And I can say the same. I still haven't seen a lot of shows, but I think I just watched the best Kdrama of all time. Thanks to my two colleagues who recommended this recently, too!

Reply 1988 💕

The nostalgia, the family dynamics, the strong friendships and ties, the lovely neighbourhood, the realism of it all, and then the love between the eight couples in the show. It's my first time to feel second lead syndrome as well! I was team JH from the very beginning, although I also loved CT and all of them. DR made me smile all the time because of his humour.

I couldn't count how many times I laughed and cried. Starting from the second episode, I cried like a baby when Sung Dong Il and Choi Taek talked about losing their moms. I cried during the wedding, especially when they were reading the letters! I never cried because of any wedding scene before in any other show. But Reply 1988 was that powerful.

While it's usual for me to cry because of shows, it's the very first time I cried tears of joy because of a scene. The time they surprised Ra Mi-Ran on her birthday gave me happy tears. I just felt the spirit of the community so much. I actually felt I was their neighbour the whole time and I was so sad when the show ended.

I get overwhelmed with lengthy dramas, but Reply 1988 was worth every second. See, I've watched a lot recently, such as Breaking Bad, CLOY, My Mister, but it's only now that I wrote about something I watched again. Not that the previous three weren't good (BB and MM are definitely great and critically acclaimed), but it's just that Reply 1988 made me feel so many emotions at once.

I also missed my barkada when I was in second and third grade, because like Deok sun who had four bros, my barkada at that time were four boys. But eventually, I was the only one left in the Philippines. One migrated to Ireland when we were in fourth grade. Another migrated to New Zealand. And in high school, another one of us migrated to Canada. After college, the last of us in the Philippines (aside from me) pursued his dream to be a seaman, and he now travels around the world. I'm proud of them all as they reached where they are now, but I just can't help but imagine what if we lived in the same neighborhood from childhood to adulthood, too?

All these happy Reply 1988 scenes really made me nostalgic. As for childhood friends, I'm happy I'm still in touch with Beverly, my CSBTF. She was the only girl I was close with back then because the rest of my pals as a kid were boys. But Beverly proved to be my sister-from-another-mom until today. Our friendship is turning 17 years old this June!

Reply 1988 is that show that makes you wish you were part of the Ssangmun community, but at the same time, it makes you revisit your own childhood. Sigh. Now I just can't stop reading analysis and comments about it. I could write more but it isn't the weekend.

REPLY 1988

One of the BEST korean drama I’ve ever watched. I find myself laughing, crying, reminiscing my youth days, laughing again, crying more and more.

Very brilliant storyline. With great actors and actresses who portrayed their character very efficient and natural.

Every family have different ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses, problems and solutions, victories and sufferings but at the end of the day—they remain family, where there is real happiness.

(Jung Bong, Mama Cheetah, President Kim, Jung Hwan)

I love how Mama Cheetah protects her cubs. She was always strict and demands Jung Bong to study but she’s so anxious the night before his operation. She always get irritated and annoyed on President Kim’s playfulness just to make them happy. She always makes sure her youngest son—Jung Hwan will enjoy his life and fulfill his dreams.

I love how Jung Hwan was aware of his parents sudden depression. How he jokingly play with his Dad when he mistakenly thought he was Deok Sun. “Aigoo Kim Sajaaaang’’

I love how Jung Hwan prepared a wedding scenario for his parents because their wedding photo was photoshopped.

(Jin Ju, Sun Woo, Soo Young)

I love how Sun Woo eats whatever his Mom prepares. Even if it is too salty, even if there is egg shells on his omelet. I love how he was rushing to go home just to play with Jin Ju.

(Choi Taek, Moo Sung)

Taekie’s family is the most simple. I love how Moo Sung stay calm and relaxed even when there is theif roaming around their place. But I admire him when he became “Superman” that day when they thought Taek was one of the passengers of the plane crash. He whack Taek’s drawer and he yell at his mentors just to know Taek’s safe.

(Bo Ra, Deok Sun, No Eul, Il Hwa, Dong-il)

I love how complicated and noisy this family is. But aside from that they remained whole and complete. Yes, they faced so many challenges just like a normal family but they have each other that keeps them strong.

I love how Bo Ra despite being the terror eldest sister to Deok Sun and No Eul, she became their “parent” when their Grandma died. No Eul, their singer youngest sibling protects his two Noonas even when they always bully him because he looks too old for his age. Their Omma Il Hwa who always love to scold their Appa Dong-il because he was “too kind” buying all stuff offered to him. He likes to help less fortunate people. But as their Mom describes their family, they were also less fortunate because they live in a half-basement house.

I love how Deok Sun despite having the middle child problem and her grades were not satisfactory, she remained bright in personality and jolly for everyone.

(Deok Sun, Taek, Jung Hwan, Sun Woo, Dong Ryong)

These five people have been friends since they were little kids. They all grew up together and are neighbors. Their families are also very close to each other. They always hang around Taek's room and spend time together.

I love how they spend their time together at Taek’s room even when they grew up and started to have their own careers.

Jung Hwan develops feelings towards Deok Sun. He protects her, goes to her when she calls him, bullies her but deep inside he really admires her, secretly waits for her outside their house. But he is always hesitating and one thing that made him back off was when Taek said that he likes Deok Sun not just as friend but as a woman.

Love is all about timing. I cried when Jung-Hwan finally confessed to Deok Sun after so many years but he eventually retract it saying he is just fulfilling Dong Ryong’s wish to see how he will propose to the one he loves.

Finally, these two—Deok Sun and Taek. Though I know deep inside my heart I am rooting for Jung-Hwan and Deok Sun.

I hope to visit one day Ssangmun-dong and reminisce those scenes that really captured my heart. As if I live there and joined their youthful days.

I enjoyed watching REPLY 1988 and I will never have a doubt to watch it again and again. Definitely highly recommended Korean drama for everyone!!!
