The Match is Certainly A Go!
I was reluctant to watch this movie, because I don’t especially care for sports, games, true stories or historical shows. So, what pulled me into watching this? Yoo Ah In, my most favorite actor.
Result? I loved it! I loved everything about it! The acting, the story, the OST, and the whole production.
To start off, the viewer doesn’t have to know much about the game Go.
This true story, set in the 1980-1990’s is about a famous Go champion, played by Lee Byung Hun (as Cho Hun Hyeon) and his pupil, Yoo Ah In (as Lee Chang Ho).
It starts with Chang Ho as a child Go prodigy, being discovered by Hun Hyeon and their remarkable relationship as teacher and student as they progress through life.
What makes this true story unique is the relationship between the two Go champions. They both thought they were the best Go players around, until they played against each other, until one of the two looses, and how each one accepts the loss.
I sat at the edge of my chair, watching this true story unfold – please, don’t miss this treasure of a movie.
Thank you for reading this.
