I am in crazy love with it!

I am a fan of RomComs and this drama has made a spot in favorites. Everything happening in the drama is crazy and will make you fall in love with it.
Every episode has its own share of twists and even after being a RomCom, it has suspense and thrill. Each episode is crazy and unpredictable. It leaves you wanting more.
The characters are lovely. I won't say the personalities were something out of the box, they had typical personalities, a rude annoying bossy male lead, and a nice persevering female lead. And the character development, the leads falling in love, hate-to-love relationships, and cringy moments are the common elements in many office romances. But the way it was executed was absolutely entertaining.
Even though we know the overall story, the small surprising elements and twists are what make the drama so engaging and enjoyable.
I absolutely enjoyed the initial few episodes which had me laughing hard. The later part of the story is a bit serious and focuses a bit on story and character development.
Overall definitely worth the watch.

Its not just special, Its the best kdrama I have watched

From start to end, Moving never fails to engage and excite you. Its a masterpiece and will be remembered for a long time.

Lets talk in a bit of detail about the various aspects of the drama

Story :
The story is based on the webtoon of the same name. The drama is about 3 students who have special abilities, and their parents who are trying to protect them from being hunted. The story is set in the present time but has a lot of flashbacks. Its an interesting way to tell the story. It first sets up the present and then goes into flashbacks to explain why it is what it is. The story of each character is carefully carved out. You can connect to characters at a personal level because it's not just a story of their powers and good deeds but goes deep down into how they ended up there, and how they struggled. The were explored as characters without glorifying their abilities and depressing their flaws which makes them more acceptable, real and awesome.
I usually am not a fan of dramas with multiple main leads because I feel they end up prioritizing one over the other and are not able to flesh out any character perfectly. But in contrast to my opinion,I really liked the drama despite having so many leads. I feel all characters were given just the right amount of screen time. You can just not not like any character. They all are just soo awesome.
The romance was sooo on point. There was a mature romance shown between the parents and a cute romance between the kids. It's perfectly fitted according to their age groups and personalities. It was just so much fun to watch. I just love all the couples :D

Acting :
The actors did such an amazing job. Amazzing cast. Han Hyo Joo is sooo talented. One moment she looks like a mom who is tired but worried for her kid and one moment she is this fierce woman who is ready to take anyone down. Lee Jung Ha did an amazing job playing bongseok. He is just soooooo cute, innocent and adorable. Go Youn Jung nailed her role as Hee Soo. Even though Kim Do Hoon did not get as much screen time, his character was as impactful in the story as others. Zo In Sung and Ryu Seung Ryong were amazing too.
I love how the makeup was done very minimalistic to make them not look like glorified pretty actors but as normal people. They really took care of every small details.

Visuals :
Moving is a visual treat. All the superpower/action scenes of it felt so real. Such good quality production,great CGI/VFX

Some dialogues are so good they are just stuck with you forever. One of my favs is by Hee Soo, " You are not weird at all, just a bit special"
Also I loved the small references of what parents did, is the same as what the kids are doing.

I mean I don't have any complaints from the drama except that it was only 20 episodes. Now that it's finished what do I watch? It's so heartbreaking but all good things come to an end.

I can just go on praising the drama but let's leave some excitement and time for you to watch the drama. A good review must also come to an end :p

So in short, It is really a must-watch. One drama you can not afford to miss!
Irrespective of what genre you like, this drama literally provides everything from romance, comedy, action, thriller, mystery, supernatural young characters, and mature characters, it is a full package.

Definitely Underated

I have watched this drama many times. It is an absolutely lovely drama.
The story is about second chance when the divorced couple meets and they know that they still love each other a lot. I like how the characters were developed. The second leads were also very good. The 2nd ML is very cute and may give you 2nd lead syndrome. The female lead was a bit annoying at the start but then you start to like her in no time.
The leads look amazing together. Great chemistry!
The story has good humor. Even though the story has nothing novel nor any twists or revelations it still keeps you engaged. The story progresses at the right pace.
The drama has lovely OST. Great job by the cast as well.
It is a good drama to watch and worth the time.

Loved the drama!

I really enjoyed the drama. It was definitely worth the watch. I really enjoy fantasy and Romcoms.

I loved how the romance between the main leads developed, it was slow and nice. I am glad it had a happy ending. The story might feel unoriginal to some people but I really liked it. I was really sad when I finished the drama.

It was very funny to see Rembrary become an idol. The acting was very good. You could feel I confused and clueless he was. I found all the characters quite memorable. The female lead did a great job too. The romance was cute!

I usually don't like slow dramas but this one seemed to work for me quite well. The romance was slow but I feel it was developed meaningfully.

All the members of the wild animals did a great job. Each of them was portrayed with their own problems and how slowly they and their relationships developed.

There wasn't much of any big plot twist or revelation. But it was still engaging to see how the story unfolded.

It was definitely not perfect. I do feel, while the entire drama was slow, too much information was dumped in the last 2 episodes. The last episode could have been structured better for the audience to understand better and enjoy it. I feel quite some things were left unclear as to how they worked out. Overall, it was a good drama but could have been much better.

I binged watched it in one go and I definitely feel it was worth it. I would like to rewatch it!

Worth the watch

It had been on my watchlist for a very long time and I was finally able to finish it. I really enjoyed the drama.

Story: The story was interesting. The plot twists were good. But if you are an avid suspense thriller watcher you could have guessed it. It is not something unthinkable. For most of the story, they focused on small cases still keeping the serial murders as the highlight. I feel the pace was just right and 12 episodes were the suitable no. of episodes. I would have loved to see a bit of romance between the leads but I guess their chemistry satisfied me too.

Characters:
I loved the female lead. She is cool and badass. Initially, she is portrayed as a cold person but gradually we get to see the real her. The one who would risk all her success to help a friend and would go against her rational thinking to protect her client. She faced a lot of revelations throughout the story which shattered her, but she always came out strong and independent. Even though the ML did help her a few times I felt she was capable of getting out of those situations on her own. I am happy that they portrayed her as independent and capable and not made the ML secretly help her or something like that. She made mistakes in the past which she realizes and tries to amend. Jung Ryeo Won did a great job.
The male lead was a mysterious character or that is what the story wanted us to believe. He seems very friendly and righteous on the outside while harboring dark secrets. Ultimately he is the all-good guy who has done nothing wrong. One which has a painful past just like typical kdrama characters. It was a good character but could have been given more depth.
The side characters were portrayed well. Each of them had their own stories and struggles to deal with. It fitted well into the story.
The villains were mostly all bad people. I wish they had shown some story to them as well instead of making them just a typical villain who troubles others for enjoyment. The acting was good but the characters could have been better.

Overall, I felt it was a good mystery law drama and you would enjoy it a lot if you like law or mystery dramas. I would watch it a second time too.

Annoying and Boring

When I read the plot summary for the drama, it seemed interesting to watch. The drama had a lot of potential but didn't turn out to be well.
I did not have a lot of expectations from the story. At the start it seemed to be going good then the story became too slow and boring. Didn't find anything unexpected in the story.
The acting by the cast was amazing but the characters and story were annoying. Though Seo Ji Hye was great, her character was irritating.
I found many things in the drama that were unexplained and didn't make sense.
The side characters could have been developed better. Even for the main leads, the character development was not very strong.
Overall, I felt it was not worth the watch.

If you are a fan of ROMCOMs then this show is an absolutely delightful treat. Definitely recommended for those who like to watch light-hearted, feel-good dramas.
The story is not much different from standard office romcoms. It has its cliche moments but still manages to engage you till the last episode. The first episode makes you laugh and gets you excited for the whole series. Its definitely worth binging the whole series cause it's very hard to stop once you start watching. The story never feels draggy and the cliche scenes are perfectly executed and never annoy you.
The main leads are cute and share good chemistry.
Even the second leads are amazing. Their love story is equally cute and exciting to watch. I feel the second leads love story was well executed and a treat for the viewers.
The two female leads give you major friendship goals and I loved their relationship.
Also loved the fact that the leads were supportive of each other.
Overall an enjoyable drama.

A bit overrated ROMCOM

It is a very classic rich guy poor girl ROMCOM drama where the guy is the boss of the girl. The guy falls in love first. It's a very lovey-dovey romance drama.
In contrast to the classic misunderstandings, there are hardly any in this drama. No villain or anything. Everything is good and sweet.
To be honest the whole drama is unrealistically sweet. I don't support unnecessary misunderstandings or crazy villains but I feel no one's life is all roses. There should have been some ups and downs in the story rather than it all being rosey.
The plot was dragged way too much. There were so many episodes where we could only see romance and no plot progression at all. There were no details on the hotel business or emphasis on how much Gu Won was working towards the hotel and his dreams. It was all about how much Gu Won was doing for Sarang which also I feel was a bit downplayed in the drama.
I really don't like how they wrapped up Da Eul's story. It was as if the writers did not spend any effort on it. Pyung Hwa's story was nice and sweet, I think they were my favorite couple.
Gu Hwa Ran's story felt very incomplete. No proper closure for her. It's like 2-3 words of 'we are a family' by Gu Won melted her heart and she was all good.
The mother chapter was also wrapped up short and quick. 5 minutes of Gu Won crying and the next instant it was as if everything was always fine and happy.
The forced cliffhangers throughout the episodes were very annoying.
Another point I would like to mention is the romance escalated too quickly. You can't connect with either of the leads. Its like they meet and now they are madly in love with each other.
It is a good drama if you just wanna pass the time and watch something extremely chill and heartwarming . But I think they could have added more to the story than just feeding the audience with romance scenes.
I would say the drama is a bit overrated but if ROMCOMs are your thing then you should give it a try.

PS: I might have been a bit harsh in expressing my opinions. I guess this could be because I had very high expectations from the drama and the review is also one of my ways to express disappointment

Except the Ending....

I watched the drama as it was released. The episodes kept me hooked. I really enjoyed the drama.

I am not a fan of slow dramas but even though this was a slow burn I really enjoyed the drama. Even though its a ROMCOM it takes its own sweet time to develop the romance. I feel this is a more realistic and natural way (SHouldnt be talking of realistic in a fantasy drama but you get my point)
The initial episodes were more inclined toward comedy while the later ones were more toward romance.
The main leads looked adorable together. The cast did a decent job.
I don't understand the unnecessary hatred towards the SML and SFL. I know they did some questionable things and are a bit irritating but on their part, they are not unreasonable. The SML had liked the FL for a long and just wanted to protect her. And I feel the ML made the SFL interested in him and then just left her. So their actions are not justified but the point is to also understand their intentions and why they did what they did instead of just blindly hating them.

I liked the gold side story. It was hilarious and keeps you guessing. It was subtly present throughout the plot.

I really hate sad/open-ended dramas.(If you see my profile the topmost tag is happy ending-its very important for me) Even though I had hoped for a clear happy ending, deep down I knew, for that they would have to have some big plothole (Not that there were not many already)
I was really annoyed by the ending but then when I thought about it I came to accept it (what else can you do anyways - Have your own theories :D )

I would have loved it if they had explained the small things that were highlighted so much throughout the drama. (Too much spoilers already so maybe I can leave the details of this)

I also didn't like why ____ had to be Hae Sun at the end. It would have been ok otherwise. Anyway, they didn't end up together. So why? It's just unrealistic. (How I have written its very easy to guess who she might have been, but I'm trying to not spoil everything for someone who is reading my review)

Well, I think you can give it a try. I really liked the drama and would recommend you to watch it. But then everyone has a different taste. Let me know if you liked the drama ! (I always love to have some good discussions on kdramas)

Its weird, enjoyable funny, dark and emotional all at the same time !

Thoroughly enjoyed this drama !

It is a bit unbelievable for me given so much politics and violence in a school. Also, the mother easily passing off as a highschooler is again weird.

But leaving this aside the story is very interesting. It slowly unfolds with small twists and turns along the way. It keeps you engaged till the end. It has its funny elements even when the backdrop is dark and serious. You can see sparks flying around - There is no romance - which I am glad since it wouldn't fit in the drama. What they have shown is quite sufficient and fitting.

I also liked how slowly the mother daughter relationship changed. All the characters had the space and time to develop and grow. Well-written characters!

The cast did a great job. I loved the acting.

Not a fan of the OST though.

Overall I felt it was worth all the time.

Nothing is perfect

Familiar Wife was a drama with its own strengths and flaws. Things usually don't go the way we want them to. But we will have to face the problems head instead of regretting the past decisions.
The drama had a good start. It portrayed the problems in a relationship realistically. Then comes the fantasy part when the ML suddenly gets a chance to go back to the past and change his future.
Many aspects of the story portray realistic problems that people face without making the drama a serious or emotional one.
The drama is off to a good start and maintains its pace. But I felt the last 4 episodes were dragged and a bit unnecessary.
All the characters had their own stories which developed well throughout the drama.
A few things were not properly explained but it doesn't affect the drama too much.
There is good chemistry between the leads though you will not get to see many romantic moments between the leads.
The cast was amazing and did a great job.
The drama does give you great life lessons and is also an enjoyable experience.
Overall it is a good drama which you can definitely try.

Worth the watch

This drama was on my watchlist for quite some time. I finally finished it. So following is my opinion about the drama.

The story had its cliche moments. It is nothing out of the box (But that is true for quite some ROMCOMs) So, nothing very special in the story but t is well executed and enjoyable.
The story gives a glimpse of the hard work and struggles involved in the life of idol groups.
Loved the bond among the LUNA group member and how it evolves along with the story. Not just the bond among them but we can see the character development of each of the group members. Also, the twin sisters' bond development was meaningful. Even though short, it didn't feel rushed and fit right into the drama.
Loved how each character was given its own space to evolve and shine.
The entire cast just looks amazing and the acting was fantastic.
The main lead looked amazing together and the romance developed slowly and beautifully. The pace of the drama was just right.
Beware of the second lead syndrome!

Overall, If you like romcoms, you should definitely give this a try.

Not a fan

Maybe I am not such a fan of older dramas. I haven't watched a lot of old dramas but I do like a few and this is not one of them.
The start was pretty good. I did enjoy the first few episodes(2-3) but then I felt the story became very boring. I felt there wasn't much plot progression and it felt irritating to watch. I was so bored at one point that I skimmed through episodes just to finish the drama. (But I did finish it because I really don't drop dramas in the middle unless I find it impossible to continue or I m extremely busy)
I also found the characters annoying.
Well this is my opinion and I am pretty sure many people must have loved this drama but maybe it was not according to my taste.
You can give it a try if you like the plot summary.
I definitely did not find the drama fast-paced or engaging.

A drama not to miss!

The drama is definitely underrated given the amazing story and powerful acting.
I was looking for dramas to watch when I got absolutely interested after reading the plot summary of the drama. I had high expectations and it definitely exceeded them.

The FL is a strong woman who can do everything to be with her child and protect her. Bearing her own emotional scars she is willing to overcome all difficulties to reunite with he daughter. Loved the mother-daughter story. Absolutely loving and the highlight of the drama. The relationship had its cute and sweet moments along with some bitter revelations.

The romance between the leads was good. I feel it was just right to fit in the story.

Not just the maternal love but we can also enjoy the father-daughter love in the drama.

The drama was full of suspense. The pace of the story was just right. It had plenty of moments that would make you emotional (some happy some sad).

The characters were well written and the actors did an amazing job portraying all emotions. I absolutely loved the acting Lee Yoo Ree. You can feel her pain, anger, and joy. Go Na Hee also did an amazing job.

Definitely worth the watch and rewatch as well!

A fantastic drama and one of my favorites!!!

One time watch

I was scrolling through mydramalist and the plot summary of this drama caught my attention. Had high expectations from the drama. I enjoyed the drama but I don't think I would be able to rewatch it.
I found the story decent. Not a very novel story. I didn't feel there were any major epic plot twists. If you have watched a few dramas you will feel the story was kinda predictable.
The story is a thriller romance. The acting of the cast is good. The antagonist could have been done better. The chemistry between the leads was good.
Found the 2nd leads story very cute. I felt the 2nd female lead and the daughter were adorable but also a bit annoying.

Overall a good drama.
