This show is a definition of how you combine an obscure sport with fantasy element to heighten the impact of both. I never knew what GO was but after this I really found a keen interest in learning even thought it seemed complex and difficult to master unlike chess.

The show starts of with a simple premise of a past spirit wondering the earth to meet his destined person to fulfill his wish. However, the twist is that the ghost has absolutely no power and can only annoy the connected one depending on his mood. So as the story progresses no authority is given to the ghost and even the super genius spirit becomes kind of like a mentor without stealing the limelight from little kids.

All characters are different in nature in this show unlike other dramas. No one is traditionally attractive so I found their minds more fascinating then the distracting facial features. No one acts and demand more than they should get and the drama feels more like a simple slice of life drama where people learn GO and get good at it in a reasonable pace while having interesting yet grounded adventures.

For me the best interactions were always between the spirit and our main character and his rivals. These golden trio while always weighted heavily on the side of our main character as he can cheat anytime, was made balanced due to him deciding not to cheat and get good on his own. To me it seemed somewhat annoying at times where he could have taken the help from the spirit to cheat way more but it is understandable that he was a honest kid and wanted to play fair and square.

Overall, the show was better than I imagined. No other sports show has produced so much interest on a obscure game such as this drama. I have watched many sports drama on Tennis, Badminton, Snooker, and many other obscure ones but none explain the rules and implement such rules as effortlessly as this one.
