This isn't your typical kdrama and that's a good thing, it's memorable and stands out for being unique,
disclaimer i'm not saying this is the only drama out there that stands out because they are plenty more.

STORY
The story is pretty good, when you strip it all down its pretty basic but that's what i enjoyed about it because it didn't require too much attention but it also didn't get boring that you'd want to drop it.
TIP WHEN WATCHING (skip if u want): The story often links things to the game Go but don't let this put you off if you don't know how to play because I don't and the messages were easily understood but I also turned a Go scenario into a chess one because that's the board game I know well and that also added a sense of nostalgia.

ACTING/CAST
Honestly the reason why this whole show worked was due to it's amazing casting. Even just looking at the actors in their roles you could get a sense for their characters characteristics and this goes for all of the characters, their acting went hand and hand with this and it made for one of the best castings they could've achieved.

MUSIC
I'm not great on commenting on music because I feel its all down to personal taste and its not something I actively listened out for in this drama.

RE-WATCH VALUE
I don't think this is that re-watchable as a whole but maybe as an episode, just due to the episode lengths being long and with the amount of episodes but again I think you'll only truly know this yourself if you watch the series (you should its good).

OVERALL (GENRES/SIMILAR DRAMAS/...e.c.t...)

GENRES
This Drama was a roller coaster of emotions the tags and genres pretty much sum it up.
