I started watching 9 End 2 Outs this week because I needed a rom-com. It’s a friends-to-lovers 2007 drama starring Soo Ae and Lee Jung Jin. There’s also a 17-year-old Girls’ Generation Yoona (it was her first role). It’s rather slow burn in the first half, but there are cohabitation hijinks.
The plot was a bit stretched in the middle and it’s slightly trope-y, but I made it to ep. 10 and strangely watched it tonight over 100 Days My Husband or Time.
One of my all time faves!! I think I’ve watched it 5 times already, and would gladly marathon for the 6th! It did drag slightly in the middle, but I’ve always found the characters and the dialogue so refreshing. ❤
At first the dragging was partially what kept me in honestly. Jung Joo and Nan Hee were so cute together I kept wondering how and when they were going to break up. But then it got a bit repetitive and I might have even used a forward button…
And I am annoyed with Sung Ah because she’s the typical ex-girlfriend returning after years, but the OTP’s relationship is keeping me in.
She’s definitely your typical ex gf, but I like how the relationship played out overall. There’s no real OTT angst, and all the relationships really do end up being about timing. Even as a typical ex, I like that the characters weren’t heavily influenced by her. They were simply left to navigate through their own feelings for one another. Ahh tempted to watch this one again – but tiiiimmme!!
I’m glad to hear characters won’t be heavily influenced by her! I hope I’ll have the time to finish it, seeing them together (I’ve seen the dating vacation in the last ep) is so rewarding. But school is starting on Monday…

The gif below is Yoona! I didn’t recognize her.

One of my all time faves too! I might have rewatched it about 50 times already 😁.

I really hate Yoona’s character here to the point I questioned why she’s in SNSD. LOL

Well, that means she’s a good actress, right? She was really annoying, but at least she didn’t spill all the secrets. Even if I wished she did.
