Like any hit entertainment product once it’s done the hype and buzz gradually dies down and to capitalize on it one needs to move fast. Disney+ produced superhero K-drama Moving was the big hit of last summer and carried that momentum for a few more months as viewers heard the reviews and binged in through year end. Disney+ subscribers went up in South Korea noticeably but since then has been dropping again. Disney+ announced this week that it will be producing a season 2 of Moving with the script by original webtoon writer Kangful like he did the script for the first season, and the budget will be an even higher 50 billion won (about $37M USD). I loved Moving so much and would have died for a season 2 but over a year has passed and production hasn’t even started I can’t see this new season arriving until maybe late 2025 and likely 2026 due to filming plus extensive post-production. I’m still excited but feel Disney needs to hustle if it wants to better milk its successful IP.

It must’ve been a lackluster year in romance and rom-com K-dramas because of the top three favorite drama couples only one came from that genre. It goes to Junho and Yoona in rom-com King the Land, which brought in buzz … Continue reading

So I always wondered what reclusive but insanely handsome and talented Won Bin‘s career could be like if he did one drama/movie a decade and just picked the best thing he came across that could tempt him. That is what … Continue reading
SLOW CLAP. Seriously, slow f*cking clapping here as I just finished watching the just released final 3 episodes of Moving, the little K-drama with the superpowered heart that may have just given Disney+ a new leash on life. Sadly the … Continue reading
The hype and love for K-drama Moving continues through 13 episodes with still more runway with a 20-episode scheduled run on Disney+. I loved the high school kids section but the parents is even more heart wrenching so it’s just … Continue reading
I can’t get over the irony of Disney+ finally having a massive hit with Moving in everything (casting, directing, writing) when there feels like a downtown in K-drama trends overall. This week there are new really charismatic and strong visual … Continue reading
It’s clear now that Moving is the biggest K-drama for Disney+ and getting confirmation that it has the highest viewership of any K-drama on the platform is just perfunctory. If this drama aired on Netflix it would be HUGE based … Continue reading
So it’s nice to do a check in on how the K-dramas of 2023 have been so far. There has been quite a few hits in ratings and buzz but in terms of post airing long term quality and recommendation … Continue reading
I’ve heard the Disney+ K-drama Moving described as more similar to a US show with the ensemble cast, time spanning story, superpowers, conspiracy, and without the usual two main leads set up in K-dramas that the story centers around. That … Continue reading
So K-drama Moving may just be Disney+‘s biggest hit to date but with the news that the platform will stop investing in original K-dramas may be too little too late. Since the premiere last week I’ve seen more online chatter … Continue reading
It’s sad that Disney+ hasn’t made any headway in South Korea K-drama land despite having a built in brand name with a portfolio of popular Hollywood movies and TV shows to surround its investment into exclusive K-dramas. I’ve heard some … Continue reading
