The premise
The drama tells the story of Shi Guang who discovered an ancient go board by coincidence and thus got to know Chu Ying, a go player who has been entrenched in the go board as a "soul" and who has experienced thousands of years. Under his influence, he gradually confronted the story of interest in go and inspiring to become a professional go player.
Horror Vault's take
When a young boy stumbles upon an ancient Go board, he finds himself bonded to a mysterious spirit who has haunted its lacquered surface for centuries. The ghostly presence, a master of the game, begins guiding him through the intricate world of competitive Go. What starts as an unlikely partnership slowly grows into something far deeper, as the boy discovers his own passion and drive. This Chinese live-action adaptation of the beloved manga balances gentle supernatural charm with the thrill of high-stakes board game competition.
