Moving Episode 12 Recap
The episode starts with Doo-sik and Ju-won on a Russian building’s terrace, preparing for a mission. Ju-won believes that Doo-sik is going to handle it alone but the latter surprises him by carrying him and flying to the spot. Ju-won keeps screaming during their flight and when they arrive at the spot, Doo-sik simply throws Ju-won down.
They both handle all the mafia and save Mr. Kang, their client. Then the scene cuts to Ju-won and Doo-sik in China going to a restaurant to eat after they complete their mission. Here, Doo-sik gives Ju-won his late father’s knife to get rid of the bullets. Doo-sik states that he has never given the knife to anyone, and the two of them inexpressively convey their trust in each other.
Then the scene moves to the night when Doo-sik visits Mi-hyun and hugs her. The officials arrest him and take him to the agency. Over there, Ju-won tries to enter the lift since he is Doo-sik’s partner, but the other officials ask him to step out. Doo-sik asks Ju-won to enjoy his coffee like they always do. Ju-won goes to the coffee machine and turns back to see Mi-hyun looking at him.
Then a flashback is shown where, when Doo-sik gets caught by the agents at Mi-hyun’s place, he fights them off. However, when he reaches for his gun, he realises that Mi-hyun has taken it. She points the gun at him and makes the team arrest him. Later, Mi-hyun looks at the knife he dropped and picks it up.
Inside the Director’s Min’s room, Doo-sik and him have a huge argument about betrayal. Doo-sik states that he will take care of Mi-hyun for betraying and starts attacking all the other agents. He then carries Min out and while in the air, looks at Mi-hyun and shoots at her. Thankfully, Ju-won saves her by stretching his arm out and getting shot. It is here we see another perspective, where during the hug, Doo-sik whispers to Mi-hyun to take his gun and pretend like she is betraying him. He also asks her to give the knife to Ju-won.
After this, Doo-sik flies away with Mr. Min, making it look like he hates Mi-hyun so that nobody will attack her. The agents leave to find Mr. Min. Meanwhile, Ju-won tries to take the bullet from his arm and realises that Doo-sik has asked Mi-hyun to give the knife as a code for him to protect her. Early in the morning, the agents find Mr. Min on a tree and save him.
Mi-hyun gets terminated from the agency and the special intelligence no more runs the same (since they take out Mr. Min from his power position). Mi-hyun works as a staff in a company and keeps looking out the window with hopes that Doo-sik will return. One snowy night, Doo-sik walks toward Mi-hyun and the couple fly up and check out the beautiful snow-covered land.
Time Skip, Mi-hyun, and Doo-sik have already welcomed Bong-seok and are living a peaceful life in a village. The couple make money by farming to provide goods for their son. One day, the baby Bong-seok starts flying, making the couple anxious as he has inherited his father’s power. They try their best to control their son and protect him from danger.
After some years, Mr. Min gets assigned back to the intelligence as its Director. He then puts forth a search for Doo-sik. The agents find Doo-sik’s house and surround it. Doo-sik tells Mi-hyun to escape while he distracts the agents. As per his plan, everything works. Doo-sik gets arrested again while Mi-hyun and Bong-seok leave. In the end, we see a man (the current principal of the school where Bong-seok is), at the same place where Mi-hyun and Bong-seok are, showing he has been following them but we’re yet to know under whose order.
Moving Episode 12 Review
As expected, the viewers are shown the bond between Doo-sik and Ju-won through their missions, especially when he entrusts Ju-won to protect Mi-hyun from being shot. This episode also presented the happy life of Doo-sik and Mi-hyun before the South Korean intelligence decided to ruin them. Apparently, Mr. Min is the bad guy who has made Doo-sik work under him for many illegal stuff. When Doo-sik decides to quit and live his life, Mr. Min starts targeting him.
We are yet to learn about what happened to Ju-won after Doo-sik left since the former wasn’t terminated from the company. Ju-won and Ji-hee’s family life is also not shown yet and probably in the thirteenth episode we might see. Overall, many answers related to what happened to Doo-sik after that night, his new family life, Bong-seok’s flying power, and such were given.
