Korean drama 'Moving' season 2 production begins, actor Won Gyu-bin joins the cast
Washington DC, May 18
The popular Korean drama Moving has entered production on Season 2, with actor Won Gyu-bin joining the cast, reported Deadline.
Ryu Seung-ryong, Han Hyo-joo, Zo In-sung, Go Youn-jung, Ryu Seung-bum, Go Younjung, Kim Do-hoon and Shim Dal-gi are all returning to their roles in the drama about super-powered Korean agents who risk everything to protect their families.
According to the outlet, Btch x Rich actor Won is the main new casting, replacing Lee Jung-ha in the key cast as Kim Bong-seok. Lee stepped back from his role to partake in the military service.
Season 1 told the story of a group of special agents working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation at the hands of malicious government agencies.
Per the synopsis, 'Moving' Season 2 will pick up in the days immediately after the Jeongwon High School incident at the end of the first, when North and South Korean agents fought, and see the heroes settling back into normal life, only for new threats to emerge.
Season 1 launched on Disney+ and Hulu in August 2023 and became the former's most viewed Korean original, helping establish the service in the competitive South Korean streaming market.
It won prizes at the Critics Choice Awards, Busan International Film Festival and the Daejong International Film Awards, reported Deadline.
Kangfull, the Moving webtoon universe's creator and series screenwriter, has penned the scripts for Season 2.
"With the first season of Moving, my goal was to establish a new benchmark for Korean superhero narratives," he said. "For the second, I intend to raise that bar even higher, evolving the series into something truly exceptional," as quoted by Deadline.
He is working with Kingdom director Kim Seong-hun on Season 2.

Ah, this is huge news! Moving was so gripping—the way they balanced superpowers with family emotions was brilliant. I'm just a bit worried if replacing Lee Jung-ha will change the vibe of Kim Bong-seok's character. But hey, Kangfull's writing is top-notch, so I'm staying hopeful! 🍿
Honestly, I think they should've waited for Lee Jung-ha to finish military service. Recasting a lead role feels risky. But Moving Season 1 was a masterpiece—Disney+ really lucked out with this one. Hope Won Gyu-bin brings something fresh to the table! 👍
The webtoon was amazing too—can't wait to see how they adapt it further. Superheroes with a desi touch? Well, Korean style actually, but we Indians love this stuff too! My whole family binged Season 1 in one weekend. Season 2 better be just as addictive!
I'm so excited! But I hope they don't drag the North-South conflict too much—it got a bit repetitive in Season 1's latter half. Still, the family dynamics are what make this show special. And Han Hyo-joo is just ❤️. Bring on more action and less government drama!
As someone who watched this on Hulu, I'm thrilled it's getting a second season. The world-building in Moving is on par with top Western superhero shows. Won Gyu-bin has big shoes to fill, but if the writing stays sharp, this could become a classic franchise.
