Synopsis
Sugata Kentaro used to be one of the most hopeful trainees to be a professional Shogi (Japanese chess) player, but fails at the final test. Now he has become a "Shinkenshi," a gambler who plays Shogi for money, and boasts his 182 wins in a row. But he is devastated when he is beaten completely by a young woman known as "Ukeshi" who takes any challenges and never loses. As Shogi means everything to him, Sugata decides to train himself harder to become the strongest player.

Based on a popular comic, this comedy drama is about a young man's exciting journey to reorganize his life through a series of tough challenges in Shogi guided by a mysterious girl.

1. review for Hachi-one Diver [Rating: 8/10]
This drama can be considered a very nice drama. At the very beginning of drama, I did not find it very much interesting so after first two episodes I was just about to decide to stop watching this drama. It was mostly because I did not understand Shogi game at all and I found the main actor being creepy and acting weird sometimes (although he has a very cute appearance, i must admit)
However as the story proceeds, I found it more and more interesting and I couldn't even get my eyes off the screen. I found the movie attracted me more as the the main actor became more matured and his growing love for the supporting actress. Also I found a lot of funny (also cute :D ) situations during 11 episodes.

You may find it boring or hard to understand at some points. However I do recommend you to see this drama, it is very worth to give it a try!

2. should I even finish the series...? [Rating: 4/10]
The first few episodes seemed interesting until I got tired of the main characters fake crying and screaming. It seemed like that is all he does in the drama. It's really getting annoying.

Naka Riisa the supporting actress is also boring in this drama. She has limited lines even though she plays a dual character. The story is interesting enough even though I don't know much about shogi what keeps me watching is the rest of the supporting cast like the two thugs who gives the drama a little bit of comedy and the old "true sword master" in hiding who obsesses about Riisa's breasts. The rest of the players are ridiculous as well.

3. Nice first episode [Rating: ?/10]
I like this drama so far. The protagonist is charming and likable. Nice simple storyline, but I wonder how much they'll squeeze out of it.

One of the more interesting spring dramas.

I loved this comedy/ shogi drama. The main actor Junpei Mizobata acted well and also his facial expression was very funny. You don�ft need to understand shogi to watch this show. Also, Gekidan Hitori was in this drama, the episode that he was in is hilarious. I recommend this drama for people who like comedy, competition, and maids.

The most vibrantly directed TV show I've ever seen. Good mixture between comedy and drama. Episode 3 is one of the funniest things I've even seen, it was just so gloriously non-PC. Naka Riisa was superb in her twin roles, especially when she transformed between the two. The story did drag towards the end, however.

Junpei's first drama as a lead. He looks natural in his role not like first time acting. However what the producer can do wtih shouji theme drama... but to add in visual effects to each episodes. The effects kills the plot itself and I would prefer not having too much of 'diving into the water' section...

Gave it a try... at first it looked like it would be decent... it just ended up being a deception as expected. If you like Shogi.. you may enjoy this.

i'm not into the actual shogi playing... but the process of their games were kinda funny... though some were draggy.

Watched this only because of Shogi ... the format would work as an anime but as a live action it kinda sucks.
