it’s big 2023, time to stop introducing women who built a carrer of their own using their partner’s name. lim jiyeon name is enough for us to recognize her and her achievements
thought about how juwon is claustrophobic but still worked in a mine to support heesoo and closed the window so jihee wouldn't be cold and now i need therapy
this would’ve been valid if the movie actually sexualized them but it didn’t. it’s a story of two queer boys feeling alienated in a heteronormative society and navigating self acceptance and if your issue is actually children being queer maybe the movie is targeting you idk
one of my favorite parts was the one where she made her mom betray her with the name tag and called her to the restaurant. she made her feel exactly what she felt 19 years ago when her mom signed the dropout document.
fun fact : every moroccan grandma had a crush on him when i was a kid and there’s this phrase we say in arabic when someone acts haughty that literally translates to "he thought he was Shah Rukh Khan"

dismissed the controversy by saying the characters, places, regions, names in the drama are all fiction. They didn't depict as prince of a specific country.

moving is literally a masterclass in storytelling : it focuses on many themes, genres, characters but never neglects any aspect in the process, one of my favorite being the family relationships...a masterpiece
dongeun took away everything yeonjin found pride in : her husband, described as “her glory”, her daughter who looked at her with disgust, her mom and her prestige. she became treated the same way she used to bully others : humiliated for laughs.
the main reason why moving is such an amazing show is that it's an all rounder : emotional family dynamics, endearing romance, epic action scenes, immaculate acting, crazy production...just name it, moving has it all
1. yeonjin :
she loves being in control. she despises not getting what she wants (all the girls she bullied were ones that jaejun found interest in...). she never shows any remorse…so dongeun made her lose that confidence and the glow in her eyes when she messed with others
that interview where he said rough male movie characters are irritating & provided house of hummingbird as one of the movies he liked very much + wanted to support more women-centric narratives like aurkay mr. thinker of systemic oppression women face on a daily we see you!
6. the mother
this woman used her position as a mother to profit off and abandon her child multiple times, under the excuse of “blood runs thicker than water”. that's why dongeun used her title as the daughter to put the woman who had caused her so much pain in a rehab center.
