The Korean original series, “Moving” has won six awards at the Busan Film Festival’s Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards including Best Lead Actor, Best Newcomer and Best Effects.

The Asia Contents Awards is an annual event that celebrates the achievements of excellent content on TV, OTT, and online platforms across Korea and Asia.

“Moving” tells the story of what happened in the 1990s, South Korea’s National Security Planning Agency established a black ops team of superpowered individuals. Tasked with carrying out classified missions, members of this elite unit used their powers to defend the country and achieve the impossible on a daily basis. Despite their successes, one day the team suddenly went dark, dispersing across the country, never to be heard from again.  A few decades later, Bongseok, a boy who could float before he could walk, and Huisoo, a girl who survived a horrific car crash unscathed, end up at the same school, quickly becoming close after confiding their secrets in each other and discovering there are more people like them out in the world. But while life seems relatively carefree for the teenagers, a mysterious delivery driver named Frank begins murdering people with powers across Seoul.  With danger drawing ever closer, will anyone be able to stop Frank before he uncovers the children’s secrets?
