  • E5 Rivers of Blood - Moving [Special Showcase]

    E5 Rivers of Blood - Moving [Special Showcase]
    Nov 29 2024
    Our host Minal is back with our guests Benny and Vipula. At halfway mark, we will review Episode 10 and 11 of Moving Kdrama. These two episodes focus on Jang Ju-won’s backstory - the superhero we lovingly call the Hulk. Episodes 10-11 moves between different timelines as we learn how JuWon goes from a life of crime to a government agent. And we get to experience another great love story as he meets the love of his life, Hwang Ji-Hee. We have aptly titled this pod review as ‘Rivers of Blood’, because of the sheer Tarantino level violence dotting the script. Again, spoilers from the drama, so we suggest you watch it first and then listen to this Deep Dive. Episode Outline: The ‘Monster’ in the opening night club sequence Ju-won’s self-employment tactics Ji-Hee & Ju-Won meet and the two lonely souls save each other Ju-Won’s life in the underworld & Min-gi’s betrayal The Hulk’s Courting Style Hee-soo is Ji-Hee’s daughter Director Min puts Ju-won through the ultimate test Iconic hallway fight sequence Dooshik makes an interesting choice and we swoon over him Ji-Hee finds a better future Episodes Trailer: Episode 10-11 trailer Moving Beyond More information about the concept of coffee girls or ‘Dabang’ in Korea Recurring theme is that superpowers are a burden. This is yet another tragic origin story of betrayal and violence. Who’s the real monster that can cause actual harm ? The one with the superpowers (Juwon) or the one with evil intentions (Director Min) ? Other dramas/movies discussed in episode: Iconic Hulk breaking down the wall imagery referred when Juwon’s breaks the motel wall here, here and here Watch the iconic hallway fight sequence from the Korean movie Old Boy Benny’s Corner: Favourite Romantic Pairing (Series/Movies): All 3 : Hyun-Bin/Son-Yejin in Crash Landing on You+Minal: Ji Chang Wook/Nam Ji-Hyun in Suspicious Partner+Benny : Shah Rukh Khan/Kajol in DDLJ Bonus: Favourite Confession in Kdramas [All from Hometown Cha Cha] Vipula: Marriage Proposal Minal: Hye-Jin’s confession to Dusik Benny: Dusik and Hye-Jin’s confession at the beach Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter.

  • E4 The Chase - Moving [Special Showcase]

    E4 The Chase - Moving [Special Showcase]
    Aug 6 2024

    Your host Minal is back with our guests Benny and Vipula. In this episode we cover Episodes 8 and 9 of Moving Kdrama. These two episodes narrate the story of the ‘parents’ and we are joined by a very special guest - Paroma. Paroma is well known in the KDrama podcast and online circles as she is the co-host of Kdrama podcast Drama Over Followers. You can also follow her on instagram and twitter where she posts about all things KDramas as TheDramanotes.

    Episodes 8-9 takes us back to the 90s where we discover how BongSeok’s parents Lee MiHyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Kim Dusik (Jo InSung) meet and fall in love. Moving moves into the ‘Romance’ genre while keeping the spy thriller brewing in the background. Again, spoilers from the drama, so we suggest you watch it first and then listen to this Deep Dive.

    Episode Outline:

    • Kim DuSik’s entry and his superability - opening scene
    • Director Min sets up MiHyun for a special mission
    • Dusik - JungWon Bromance
    • MiHyun - Dusik - A perfect slow burn romance
    • Operation Seagull

    Episode summaries in 5 mins

    1. Episode 8 ‘Black’ main scenes
    2. Episode 9 ‘Humanists’ main scenes

    Beyond Moving [Key Themes Emerging]

    • Underlying sexism in the agency
    • The Genetics - BongSeok is totally his parents’ kid imbibing the dorkiness of his father and the kindness/empathy of his mom along with their super abilities.
    • Love Confessions in Moving - The writer has consistently aced these.
    • The Color Purple - The second date, the curtains, the roof of her restaurant.
    • Weaving true events into fiction to build the NK angle - The opening scene is based on the Korean Air Flight Bombing (1987) and DuSik’s mission is aligned to Kim Il Sung’s death (1994)
    • People with superpowers are more vulnerable and exploited by the state.
    • Super Heroes choosing morality vs loyalty to NIS


    Other dramas/movies discussed in episode: Paroma mentioned her early KDrama viewings - Shining Inheritance (Han Hyo Joo) and You are beautiful (Park Shin Hye)

    Call out to Characters & Actors: Park Byung Eun - Plays MaSang Gu the rogue SK NIS Agent. Other notable performances - Kingdom S2 and Because This is My First Life.
