I think this drama is a cute storyline with a nice cast. I don't know with the acting part but I did like them. I just don't like that it is just 4 episodes though they really used up the time to show the whole storyline. It is quite childish but that is just what it is.

The male lead's character is not the usual for me since he is the guy, a new refreshing concept. I don't know anything about shogi but it feels like chess game and it did incorporate in the drama.
Sanae's character is also one of a kind. I like her. I thought they would have a love triangle going on but they did not pursue that which is good for me.
Overall an okay drama to pass the time.
