Meanwhile, the ordinary lives of single mother and pork cutlet restaurant owner Lee Mi-hyun (Han Hyo-joo) and chicken shop owner Jang Joo-won (Ryu Seung-ryong), who takes care of his daughter Hee-soo, begin to reveal hidden secrets. The introduction of Frank (Ryu Seung-beom), a character tracking retired superhumans, further escalates the drama's intensity. Rated for viewers aged 19 and older, the action sequences featuring the superhumans are thrilling and engaging.

In the upcoming episodes 3-5, the complex dynamics between Kim Bong-seok and Lee Kang-hoon regarding the new student Jang Hee-soo will unfold, revealing their hidden stories. 'Moving', which previously set records as a top-viewed original series on Disney+, is now making waves as it transitions to a TV format, marking a significant collaboration between global OTT platforms and domestic broadcasting.

MBC will air 'Moving' daily at 10 PM until December 24, with a regular schedule of two episodes every Sunday night starting in January.
