Long time heard about this drama, split between want to watch (because of Niu Jiu Feng & Landy Li) and some not too good review for this drama. But finally decided to peek into this drama, and the first ep success to capture interest, that's why finally I watch this drama...

After watch also split between want to give good score, due to very interesting story that you can say cover all the aspect, or bad score, due to very God D*MN long episode. Finally settled in 7.5, cause I don't think 8 is good enough for this drama. Haha...

For me this drama kinda losing it's focus cause too many aspect that they want to include in. Ok. I think I'll gonna spoiler a little bit. If you don't want to know just skip reading my review then...






The little too many aspect:
- Trauma. Sheng Jing Chu (JC) trauma that cause by accident that killed his parent, make him can't see color. The worst healing process that happen in the drama. Once he open his heart to Cheng Liao (CL), suddenly he just healed. Ugh, yeah I know how romantic that's for our drama, but is it really that easy to heal the trauma...??
- The unhealthy obsessions Yao Ke (YK) to JC. Yeah I know this still sport drama, and sometimes there's crazy person that want to do anything in order to win and be number 1. But I think this obsessions take too much & unimportant screen time. They can treat YK like JC's other opponents with limited screen time only when competition time, because you can't say YK is a worthy opponent for JC. Another case if they make YK more worthy opponent for JC, like I really wish that Jubango can be really worthy of our screen time, where we can see how they alternately lose and win between YK & JC to make that scene is more exciting for us to watch. Instead this only make YK has more and more unhealthy obsessions to JC. Sometimes feel very sorry for YK, even though he has 2 teacher, no one really pay attention to the dark side of his heart, while JC always have good advice. That's why in the end JC can manage his heart and get out from the dark side, while YK fall more and more deep into the dark side.

The part that I don't know to put it into good or bad part.
- The other program from the TV station. Good cause make this drama not only about go, but also about other stuff. Bad because what this drama actually about, what is the focus of the drama....
- The other drama. Between Cheng Yi (CY) & her man. Good because they show us the step, from introduction to finally she acknowledge her own feeling. Bad because in the end, it's still like CY also has to choose between these 2 man, & can't actually happy by herself & her career.
- The other drama. Between Ding Lan (DL) & Cao Xi He (XH). Good cause what DL said to XH is so true, like how she can like him if he keep changing every time they meet, just for know her preference in man instead be himself. Bad cause they just take unnecessary screen time, that make this drama longer.... But their interaction quite liven up the drama, so I kinda like it....

OK. Now on the (+) side of the drama:
+ I really like how the romance develop between our couple. Apart from the drama of CY's 2 man, I still like how she develops feeling for Jiang Yu Da.
+ How JC & CL support each other. Although sometimes they don't talk too much about their problem, but they know how in the end they will gonna support each other. Like when JC want to change his style when playing go, how CL just support him without much asking question.

Overall this drama can have shorter ep if only they more focus on the importance stuff in the drama, and not try putting everything... But in the end this still quite enjoyable ride for me
