Worthy Character Development Drama
In the beginning, I was unsure if I should watch this drama, but after starting and completing the drama, there is not one part of me that regrets watching this drama. This drama is all about the growth of each character, not just the main characters, and also about answering several common questions and problems that appear when one is striving for success. Here are some of my thoughts about the drama:
~ THE STORY ~
I absolutely love the development of each character. We have our first main lead that goes from an obnoxious child to a mature teen, another main lead that learns the difference between losing and improving, and our favorite historical ghost who finally understands what success means. The supporting characters each have their own story; one of them learned to recover from loss; another learned to let go of dreams. This drama and whole narrative is really all about their lives and the steps they are taking that impact one another.
The friendship between each character is amazing as well. The bonds. The conversations. The supportiveness. This drama really does its best to answer the question of whether letting go of friends in order to succeed is the right choice. Our main lead chose the path to go forward and improve his Go skills, leaving behind all the friends he had at school. We see this theme again when the main lead becomes one of the few professional Go players, while one of his friends, who had been in the Go industry for way longer than he had, was not able to. Nevertheless, we really do get the chance to see this type of strong friendship and love, with no romance, in the drama.
Another aspect of the story that was amazing was the realistic-ness. Of course, it is not very realistic with the whole historical Go player that turns up in the modern world, but I do mean by the decisions themselves. We see that one of the characters, in fact, many of the supporting characters chose to give up Go for a variety of reasons. Some realized they only played Go just for winning, while others had realistic obstacles. For example, one of the most memorable moments was when one of the supporting characters chose to step away from Go in order to take care of his father.
