Interested in watching? The complete drama is on http://www.mysoju.com/9-end-2-outs/. ^^

Superb drama, one of the best kdramas I watched. ^^
I know I have enjoyed this drama a lot.
Finally something that is different in this one from other kdramas.

Even though there has been successful kdramas like Winter Sonata, Autumn Tales, My Bride is 18, My Girl, Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, Coffee Prince, Goong, Full House, My Lovely Samsoon and many many more that I didn’t watched before, 9 End 2 Outs is definitely different from all the names I have mentioned.

Do you know what is the most common plot in kdramas?
Firstly, you will see a squarish relationship (a higher level of triangular ties).
Then, you will find jerks trying to get in the middle of the leads’ relationships.
Lastly, soapy scenes like accidents, jealously, blah blah blah
that will make you irritated and shout “STOP THE NONSENSE!!!”.
But there will always be a happy ending in ALL kdramas.
Hahaha… okay, I don’t mind happy endings but I seriously sick of the soapy scenes already.
A good drama is just ruined due to those draggy scenes. =X

Well, what I like about 9 End 2 Outs is due to this reason.
It doesn’t have all the soapy scenes I have mentioned.
At last, a refreshing plot!!! <3

You know, I always enjoy ONLY the main leads’ chemistry in most kdramas.
Like Coffee Prince for instance.

But the weirdest thing of all…… I don’t dislike anyone in 9 End 2 Outs!!!
(okay, maybe Sung Ah. But she only appears in later part of the drama so nvm. hahs)
Surprisingly, I actually enjoy watching each and every character in the show.
Each and every one of them actually a piece of the jigsaw to make the show complete.
I find it remarkable for a successful drama, serious! =D
Most probably because in most dramas (regardless which country’s),
there’s always some bitches/jerks in it.
But definitely not in 9 End 2 Outs.
Everyone in it has their way of cuteness and kindness in their personalities. ^^

I guess maybe it’s because most of the characters in this dramas are focused on adults in their 30s,
they tend to be more mature than those characters in other kdramas?
The 30s friends always gather together and talk about their lives.
But it’s not even boring, I find their conversation quite entertaining and interesting.
As in, they will always act in a way of humor whenever they are together.
The chemistry between all of them.
I am very envious of their friendship. *sigh*

Of course, not to forget!!!
I like the way how the leads develop their romance, from friends to lovers.
30 years of friendship and they are even closer than their own kins/ex-lovers.
haha. Bad thing is they already realized their feelings long ago,
just that they didn’t want to spoil their precious friendship
so they just dragged on for 10 years++++.
Of course, they have relationships with other people in these 10 years.
Just that they end up together with each other in the end.

Oh!!!! Did I mention that the female lead’s birthday falls on the same day as me!!!
I AM LIKE OMG!!!! O_O Serious? 25th July 1980?

My birthday is like… 10 years after hers? >_< wah…
-> see this link!
(lol. okay, this is digression. =p)
And yah, she’s not even 30 when she’s acting in this drama. lols.

This is definitely going to be the longest review I have ever written!!!
And I can go long and long and long for all the characters!!!
But it seems like long entry will bore people into reading it,
at least I don’t like reading long entries. lol.
I get tired out easily reading lengthy entries online. =P

Scenes I loved:
- Nan Hee & Hyung Tae singing on streets

- Jung Joo crying =X

- Jung Joo’s getting jealous of Hyung Tae. hahaha. *perverted* I like childish males. =P

- Jung Joo bidding goodbye to Nan Hee before he flies off to America(?)

- Nan Hee & Nam Jung (somehow, I think she looks alike to Song Hye-kyo) picnic @ baseball grounds

- Nan Hee pouring water over bratty Soo Young (a young author who is obsessive with Jung Joo)
- Jun Mo & Hyung Tae fighting
- Hyung Tae being sweet to Nan Hee <3
- Nan Hee & Hyung Tae drinking @ street stall

- Soo Young saying “I need you” to Nan Hee. (lol)
- NH & her mother’s conversation
- All the humorous talks when the atmosphere is down between NH & HT
- Jun Mo (haha, i like him i don’t know why)
- Chicks turning into chickens. XD
- The 30s clique singing on the streets <3

and more… I can’t remember. =)

Psst. I actually like Soo Young, the little bratty & bitchy young author.
Well, in a much later parts, after her Jung Joo <3 went off to America.
I sure hope Jung Joo & Soo Young will be together!!!
Even though that girl is seriously very scary. >_<

She’s pretty when she’s not bitchy. haha.

What’s good about this drama:
1) Good plot + adequate humor
2) Good acting
3) Nice twists & turns – smooth flow
4) Chemistry between the leads
5) Good editing!!!

What’s bad:
1) The last 2 episodes went quite weirdly for the confession…
Hmmmm… cuz I don’t really understand. haha.
2) A lot of jump scenes but still easy to understand.

I am so glad to find a kdrama FINALLY not repeating its cliche plotline.
Even though I really enjoyed those cliche ones, especially romantic comedies. XD
9 End 2 Outs is definitely another stage of kdramas. =)

Awesome kdrama. =)))
