Lee Jung Ha’s Real Mother Jealous of ‘Moving’ Star Han Hyo Joo? Here’s What Happened
Apart from the captivating story and exceptional cast lineup, viewers were delighted to see the chemistry between "Moving" co-stars Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jung Ha as they play mother and son with superhuman powers.
Fans were drawn to their intense synergy as it depicted the story of single mother Lee Mi Hyun, who raised her son Kim Bong Seok alone. What's more challenging for Mi Hyun is that Bong Seok is not just an ordinary kid.
Like his father, Kim Doo Shik (Jo In Sung), he has special abilities. Whenever Bong Seok changes his emotions, he flies and has a hard time controlling them. On the other hand, Mi Hyun has supersenses and uses them to protect her family.
As "Moving" episode 9 aired, viewers saw Mi Hyun as a doting mother who would do everything to protect Bong Seok.
Interestingly, the stars' affection for each other shines even off camera.
