For those of you who haven’t signed up for this, please watch  Hikaru no Go (the live action cdrama adaptation of the manga / anime). A coming-of-age story about a young boy who is possessed by the spirit of an ancient Go master, and emerges a prodigy at the end of it, while learning about life, loss, belonging, friendship. It’s a show with so much heart, with an ensemble cast that is deserving of many accolades. 

(this is my nth plug for this show, so for those who’ve been subject to my raving already, my apologies in advance!! i just want more people to love this show)

          If you do watch it, Maq, I’d love to know what you think!

          The live action version has been adapted to the Chinese context. There are some political references at the start (in the first ep) that can be deemed controversial, but if you let all of that go, I thought it was a lovely show.

          This show grabbed me in the first 5 minutes of the first episode, which I’d say is terrific for an opening. Plus the fact that I did not fast-forward at all through all 36 episodes.

            I’ll give the C-drama a shot and let you know what I think! I like the anime, so I imagine I’ll like the drama as well.

      No no, the cdrama adaptation!
      I haven’t watched the anime or read the manga.

    I used to read the manga faithfully but the comic book rent shop closed down and I lost thread ._.
    Will check this out!

      Aw shame! Hopefully this will wrap things up for you! I am tempted to read the manga myself now that I have watched the show.

      Be warned though that the reviews suggest that the middle parts of the drama may be a little extra, although overall, I understand, it remains faithful to the original story.
