Moving Episode 15 Recap
The episode starts in the year 2003 when Mr. Min learns about Ju-won’s escape. His assistant tells him that since Ju-won knows about the organisation, he has escaped in a way that it is hard to find traces. When the assistant explains that the cause behind his escape is unknown, Mr. Min states that it is because of his daughter. The assistant says that it might not be the reason as it isn’t confirmed that Hee-soo has inherited Ju-won’s power.
Rae-hyuk cuts her off and confirms that Hee-soo indeed has inherited Ju-won’s strength and healing ability. Then a flashback is shown where Rae-hyuk watches the accident from a distance and notices how Hee-soo didn’t endure damage. We also learn that Rae-hyuk could have saved Ji-hee from the accident but decided to let the woman burn to death. This might also mean that the accident could have been set up to test Hee-soo.
Rae-hyuk then pulls out a file and offers the idea that they create a school and secretly train the super kids without their knowledge. Mr. Min likes his idea and proceeds with it however his assistant finds it ruthless. Time skip, in the present, Bong-seok decides to let go of wearing weights and start running to control his flying ability. When Gang-hoon and Hee-soo have a conversation, we find that Rae-hyuk has recruited Gang-hoon to join the school and get trained so that he can take care of his parents.

On a regular day after the video went viral, the school management asks the students to leave home for general purposes. They request the students to not stay inside the school. However, Gang-hoon and Ki-soo (the student who previously was beaten by Gang-hoon) remain in the school. Gang-hoon goes to the computer lab while Ki-soo sneaks inside the bathroom and remains there.
Previously, Choi Il-hwan, an important faculty, asks Hee-soo to go to the Dunchon-dong auditorium to train since the school’s sports room will be closed. When Hee-soo comes out of the office, Ki-soo warns her to not trust anybody. We also see a flashback where Mr. Yoon simply watches Ki-soo in the auditorium groaning in pain after the basketball post falls on his leg. Does this mean when recently Gang-hoon saved Hee-soo from a similar accident, it was not an uncertain thing but a plan that was tested previously on Ki-soo?
Later that night, Bong-seok and Hee-soo go to Dunchon-dong. Behind them, a suspicious man follows. The bus driver, Gye-do (the man with electric power) notices it and keeps a check on him and the kids. Meanwhile, both Mi-hyun and Ju-won visit the school (they’re unaware of each other’s presence). Mi-hyun visits Il-hwan and asks him about the incident. She finds him suspicious when he addresses him as Bong-seok’s mother when she didn’t tell him about it.
Ju-won takes a look at the auditorium and the fallen basketball post. Mi-hyun senses the camera and stares at it. As Mr. Yoon is watching them two, when Mi-hyun looks straight into it he finds it impossible. Similarly, Ju-won grabs another camera and asks who he is before breaking it.
Back in the bus, Gye-do speeds the bus up as he realises the danger awaiting the kids. The man coldly looks at Gye-do while he races the bus at an immense speed. We also see the North Koreans planning to attack the kids that night. Jae-man’s watch ticks and he wonders why his son hasn’t come home yet. Overall, the night is going to be long as all the kids are going to encounter a big fight.
Moving Episode 15 Review
Episode 15 marks the beginning of the series’ final parts where the children-parent duo will face monsters and battle them. Now that we know the school is a set up to allure super kids, all the parents will start fixing the pieces and figuring out the masterplan of Mr. Min. Additionally, if Ju-won learns that Rae-hyuk was there during his wife’s accident, he will beat him to a pulp for letting his wife die.
We’re yet to see/know whether Doo-sik is alive. He will most likely join the troupe as his son is in great danger. Additionally, Gye-do will also assist them in avenging his father’s death.
