The upcoming Disney+ sci-fi action series “Moving” features “Korean-style heroes” who are seemingly ordinary people but fight for their loved ones with hidden superpowers, its screenwriter said Thursday.<\/P>
<\/P>
Based on the eponymous hit webtoon by Kang Full, the 20-episode series tells the story of a group of superpowered individuals who hide their true abilities from the world in order to protect their families from danger.<\/P>
<\/P>
It features a star-studded cast, including Zo In-sung, Han Hyo-joo, Ryu Seung-ryong, Ryu Seung-bum and Cha Tae-hyun, among others.<\/P>

Kang, the creator of original webtoon “Moving,” said the drama series used a multi-layered story structure that spans over 30 years and added new characters to expand its cinematic universe.<\/P>
<\/P>
“Although the series is based on my original webtoon, I wanted to tell a different story and ended up writing a 20-episode series, ” Kang said during Creators Talk, a promotional press event. “Watching two episodes would be like watching a two-hour movie.”<\/P>
<\/P>
Kang said he put the characters’ narratives into the historical context of South Korea, which still remains divided following the 1950-53 Korean war.<\/P>
<\/P>
“What is a Korean-style hero? I wanted to focus on circumstances and causes that would compel a hero to fight,” Kang said. “In this drama, each character fights for their loved ones, whether that’s family, a friend, a lover or a colleague, not for the moral cause of saving the world.”<\/P>
<\/P>
The director, Park In-jae, behind the second season of the Netflix zombie thriller “Kingdom” (2020), and films “The Mayor” (2017) and “Moby Dick” (2011), said “Moving” encompasses a wide variety of genres, including family drama, action, sci-fi and romance.<\/P>
<\/P>
“We inserted action sequences into each episode to captivate viewers,” Park said. “It also has a family story, a high teen story and a love story through 20 episodes.”<\/P>
<\/P>
Lee Sung-gyu, the chief visual effects (VFX) supervisor, said dynamic images of people flying and action sequences are the outcome of two years of global collaboration.<\/P>
<\/P>
“About 60 studios from nine countries participated in the VFX production. We particularly focused on creating realistic visuals so as not to distract people’s attention from the story,” Lee said.<\/P>
<\/P>
The first seven episodes will be released on Aug. 9, with two episodes arriving each week for five weeks.<\/P>
