seokjinie Aug 08 2025 6:29 am This is a masterpiece!!!

I don't understand the game Go, but I didn't get bored at all watching this, the tension between the 2 leads is insane.

Lee Byung Hun, no words, a veteran actor indeed and my boy,

Yoo Ah In, knetz can hate him all they want but you can't deny his acting skills, he should be in more movies and series. I hope he can come back soon.

@Lana, I 100% agree with you. He is one of a kind. He pulls you in with his acting.

Lana May 13 2025 8:24 am Yoo Ah In is truly one of the finest and most talented actors of his generation. At such a young age, he has achieved remarkable success, winning numerous prestigious awards as a lead actor—far surpassing many other Korean stars like Lee Min Ho, Park Seo Joon, or Ji Chang Wook.

He deserves to be appreciated, celebrated, and given the recognition he truly merits. His past mistakes should not overshadow his brilliance. I am genuinely proud of his journey and achievements. He is gem.

Sweet, Lana

Thank You so much..

Un modeste admirateur May 09 2025 10:13 am As a teenager, I regret spending a fair amount of my free time consuming chess content, whether it would be watching the FIDE championships, or reading a few books by grand masters that I bought second-hand. Contrary to my father, however, I never played the game as much as I studied it, because I quickly realized it had dangerous consequences for the player's psyche, some of which are perfectly portrayed in « The Match ». For example, the hurt ego. My mother reminded me recently that, when I won a casual game against my father, he turned me the cold shoulder over the next three days. I had buried this episode in my memory. In the movie, it is similar to the reaction of Cho Hunhyun when his student, Lee Chang-ho, won against him. There is an even stronger realization that ultimately made me abandon chess, but that is absent from the « The Match » : It’s that, when you reach a certain level, there is no further meaning or lesson to be found in the game. « The Match » repeats twice a quote by Segoe Kensaku, Cho Hunhyun's master : « Go means finding an answer where there is none ». Ironically, this quote is used as some kind of inspiration to look for hidden answers, whereas I am firmly convinced that « there are none ». But hey ! this movie is philosophical enough and accomplished enough to let you make your own opinion on the matter.

Norik Baboorian C. May 08 2025 2:26 am I just saw the Match . it’s only possible to watch this very simple storyline in a movie with these two outstanding actors as leads , Lee Byung Hun and Yoo Ah in , each portraying their characters in an interesting way that plot twists, or even action was irrelevant. Love it, since , these two are A- list talented actors, versatility masters in their crafts . Bravo bravo bravo ,Lee Byung Hun and Yoo Ah In , unique supporting cast, writers in a storyline timed beautifully in the 1990s and an accomplished director . Yoo Ah In is in his 30s but really looked and acted as a teenager. I had to double check as to when this movie was done .

Emma miranda May 08 2025 2:15 am I watched it alreafy on Netflix. Yoo Ah In welcome back my love❤️

Jillibean Mar 13 2025 1:51 pm I am soooo glad Yoo Ah In has been given more roles again. I've missed him. And Lee Byung Hun is always great in everything.

soom May 27 2024 2:58 pm Release this movie, please! we want to see master actor Yoo Ah In's work. He is masterful at assuming every role he takes, and is a wonderful co-star and crew member. Directors love him, as does the camera. We pay you to see the latest efforts of the cinematic industry. Do you want us to go elsewhere? What could be your motive, other than thoughts of Money. This is Art.

Griseey Jan 03 2024 1:53 am Hope Netflix airs this with no cast change.
