I love love this drama so much. I would recommend it to anyone...I saw genuinely ordinary person..no one over the top, no one had heavy cosmetic on, middle class families, all looked so realistic based on the life in early 1999 to 2005. Young people who just the characters wanted to be on top of the games....the journey of young people with failures, struggles, competition, friendship, dedication and hard work to aim high to their dreams.

The story is about a little boy Shi Guan (Hu Xian Xu) who happened to bump in to the soul of Chu Ying (Zhang Chao), God of Chinese board Go games from 1500 years ago, they're destined to play Go together as mentor and student. Chu Ying who always thirst of Go competition pushed 9yo Shi Guan to play against the son of most influential Go player Yu Liang (Hao Fu Shen). With guidance of Chu Ying Shi Guan won the game which made Yu Liang sad and more determined than ever. Because of that 2 little boys intertwine fates brought their teen life into 2 different direction in the name of Go. Along the way, they met friends and competitors, life as teenagers and family dynamics. Chu Ying the lost soul from many dynasty ago influenced Shi Guan in his daily life, became a Go mentor and best supporter but then he suddenly disappeared and Shi Guan was broken heart. Against all odds, Shi Guan came back to win the Youth Go International tournament paired up with Yu Liang.

I love every characters in this drama, everyone were good to each other...no one biting the competitor (Iam wrong in one; Shen Yi Lang lost his job to Wang Chong). I love Hong He, he's kind of the best friend we all want to have or He Jia Jia & Wu Di that's pretty understanding and supportive as High school friends. I love the last 2 episodes when Shi Guan rose back to the surface and how Yu Liang supported him - they live together to synchronize two minds for the game. Every actors did splendid job...the best part was most of the actors were young and new in the business but they did all unforgettable characters.
