As a start, this movie runs ssssllllooooowwwwllly.

I gave high scores for the FL portrays a girl with really healthy weight, healthy complexion, and the clothing aligned with the story setting. The imaginary fighting arenas are perfectly executed with smooth (sometimes cute & vintage) gaming effects. The martial arts are fabulous! Every time, the GO beads were arranged perfectly so we could sense that director serious about this ancient game.

But the great things end here. The plot and characters are not interesting enough, the motion songs are okay. I never felt engaged to continue watching episode after episode. How I just keep forgetting this movie. It's like, this movie is so into special effects rather than story plot.

Sheng Jing Chu (ML), which is colorblind, reports to his therapist that Cheng Liao (FL) made him see colors. Strangely, the colors he saw only came solely from what FL wears. Whether it's from her clothes, hair, shoes, bag, etc. His therapist gave him advice without giving any medical reasons, yet his shown to have a plate for his achievement in medical therapy. What?

ML indeed showed that he is attracted to FL from the start, and so did the FL. But, FL insists on liking Xu Chi. When FL realized that Xu Ci likes another girl, then she admitted likes ML. What?

Yao Ke is pictured as ML eternal rival. Said that he has the same GO level as ML, high determination, and he lives up to win against ML. Yet every time they got engaged, Yao Ke made easily lost and instantly joined as ML supporting group. Not even once in the story he won against ML yet it said that he practices day and night. What?

There was this moment when ML sang and his colleague said that he actually has a good voice. So why don't let him sing instead? Why director chose to dub his voice? Niu Jun Feng can sing! The lipsync moment really made me cringe and disappointed. And Jo Yeon Hoon suppose to play piano, why don't shoot him up close while his hands really playing?

For some, this movie could be sweet for its lack of intrigue. No fatal misunderstanding between characters, no deep-sworn-revenge hatred, not much insightful thinking. Just sweet young talents daily lives story with some comedy thrown here and there. Me, I could get diabetes for the over-sweet taste. But, for others, the story plot would feel quite draggy and the character's developments are rather shallow for 41 episodes. I think it could have ended within 24 episodes to be perfectly rewatchable. How does this movie have to carry THREE couples' love stories. Overly ambitious, I guess.

To be honest, seeing the FL made me realize how Chinese male actors are seriously underweight. There is no chance ML could walk-carry FL bridal-style. He would hurt his back, or worse, he would drop her. That's why I prefer manly feature body style like Zheng Ye Cheng or Alan Deng.

This movie couldn't bring out the best in Niu Jun Feng (Sheng Jing Chu). He played a "safe" character here and did not add many spices to it. As a stiff-sterned-face kinda guy, for many moments he did the talking through his eyes. Maybe you could fall in love with his eyes though.
I do prefer to watch this movie while doing house chores because the slow pace gives me assurance that I won't miss a thing.
