Unexpected Gem of 2020
At first I was hesitant to watch because I didn't think this was up my ally or would be a good adaptation. However, I was glad I decided to watch it. I didn't expect a story about GO would be something I would watch or would be interested in.
There is no romance in the drama, however, the bromance is more than enough. If you are into bromance dramas, the this is a must watch. The story is much more than a story about GO, it is about one's growth, passion, and friendship while trying to accomplish someone else's dream that eventually became their own. I was most drawn by the strong storyline that followed Shi Guang through his journey of being forced to play GO to him loving it and excelling in it.
It's in no way perfect, but as someone who fast forwards in drama's through the filler parts, I barely did that with this drama. The only thing I wished was there was more Yu Liang and Shi Guang parts and a follow-up with Chu Ying. Basically, I need a season 2 because 36 episodes is not enough!!
