The story, despite taking some liberties was good enough, it was just choppy and the way it was written and edited was off. As one of the reviewers said before me, it was unbalanced. They were not able to balance out the funny with the sweet and in trying to do so, I felt they lost focus.
The cast could have been better. I like donghae and siwon but I HATED the dubbing with a passion and I just couldn't see Ren in siwon at all. Ivy was ok, but in the typical t-drama fashion, the exaggerated acting kinda killed me. I did like that they kept the demons though.
The music was ok. Nothing really stood out much.

There are a few slow bits here and there but everything else makes up for it ! Very good cast, you really sympathize with both Mako and Satsuki... Takei Emi does an outstanding job portraying them. I really like the intensity Kiritani Kenta brings to his character to.
The music is also really good, it enlightens the melancholy atmosphere throughout the drama ! I'm not that good at reviews but hope this encourages anyone reading to watch this drama :)

I'm quite embarrassed now to remember why and how I started watching this drama, thinking of it lightly, just another rom/com, even putting it on hold after watching 2 episodes... now it sounds so crazy to me *shame on me*...
More than writing about the originality of the story and its differences from other dramas, I'd prefer to write about the characters that made me love the story, even making me claim, that I'd love the ending despite whatever stupid solution they offer, only if the two main leads end up together (no, that did not include meeting with the reincarnated version of one of the characters!)
First of all (hands away, he's MINE, RAWR!) the smartest, the hottest, the bravest Kim BoongDu! I will agree with HeeJin, he's a total player, who stole my heart and did not give it back even after the end, on the contrary, I love him more and more each day. BoongDu kind of flipped my apprehension of a perfect male character! Ji HyunWoo was such a natural in his role, I didn't doubt his act even for a second, everything was so natural! Even the smallest looks he gave HeeJin, the smallest touch, the smallest blink of his eyes for her, nothing went unnoticed because of his acting!
HeeJin, well, not my perfect female character, actually (she underestimated her intellect so often...), but I came to love her so dearly! I've said several times: HeeJin - the only female character who can explain the meaning of everything with a kiss, I luved it! I liked her very much, as she went on with her life even during her hardest times, tried her hardest to be all she wanted to be, and did not break down during separation, was passionate and cute, lovable and supportive every time BoongDu needed her!
A special mention deserves the cinematography of this drama! One of the BEST thing bout this drama, I felt like being inside the screen all the time, I fell in love with director's style, his multiple angle shots of the same scene, showing both of the characters when they were longingly looking at each other, I did not miss a single moment of their love, not a single teardrop, not a single breath...
I also want to mention that this drama contains the BEST kiss I had ever witnessed in a Korean drama! I still go back and watch it sometimes... the tip-toe kiss...*sigh*
The music is very fitting and sweet, especially the traditional instrumental piece which I hope will be released soon, I adore it...
I have rewatched many parts of the drama for many-many times, so I rate its value almost as high as the drama itself.
During these weeks I have been watching this drama, it changed its status in my heart several times: first it was a light rom/com trough which I was going to lightly pass through, rate it 7 and forget, then it became the source of my smile and laughter, as I was leaving it to watch after I was being drained by King2Hearts, it gave me so much consolation... then, as I was still under the impression of K2H, it kind of lost the meaning of a placebo of a smile for me, but then, it again gained my heart, made my heart flutter, made me laugh, cry, scream at the screen, analyze and dream...
Totally recommended ^^

There are plenty of dramas about bffs falling in love, or how living together can turn into romance. The premise itself is pretty standard, but unlike other dramas that I've seen, this one doesn't just jump from strictly platonic to romantic love with a sudden revelation & a kiss. This one explores all the complicated in betweens, and conflicting/confusing emotions, that can come up when a relationship changes from friendship to possible romance. There are also no scheming exes, malevolent parents, debilitating diseases, social class barriers, or major "scandals" thrown in to add more excitement to the drama. It doesn't need any of that. Lee Jung Jin & Soo Ae's performances alone are enough to keep the story exciting. There is also a great supporting cast with interesting love (or lack of love) stories of their own, and a great overall theme about maturing into adulthood.
Maybe the fact that I've had a similar opposite sex friendship plays a role, but Hyung Tae and Nan Hee relationship really resonated with me, plus they had great chemistry. This drama took it's time realistically portraying their close friendship, and they are also had their own separate romantic storylines, which made the pace a little slower than a typical Kdrama romcom. I thought the slower pacing was perfect for telling this kind of story, and lots of humor kept it from feeling like it was ever dragging. It also helped to build anticipation. I honestly enjoyed every episode.
There were a few parts of the story that I think could have been handled a little better, but I think the writers did a really good job juggling different stories without losing focus on the main couple. I think the only weak character was Sung Ah, who after being mentioned so often in the drama, should have had a bigger presence when she finally appeared. I know she was meant to be portrayed as an outsider, but compared to the rest of the cast, her character bored me.
I also have to mention how weird it was to see a young Lee Tae Sung in this after seeing him recently in Rooftop Prince. It makes me appreciate his acting range, considering how different each role I've seen him play has been. He's a real sweetheart as Jung Joo, Nan Hee's much younger boyfriend. His character is the only one that really has anything to do with baseball, so this should not be thought of as a sports drama. Baseball is just used as a metaphor for relationships in a way that kinda reminded me of the movie "Love & Basketball". You don't have to like baseball to appreciate this drama.
Overall, "9 End 2 Outs" was a pleasant surprise, and I will definitely rewatch it. With all the cliché drama romcoms out there, this one certainly stands out. It's funny, and touching (though not a tearjerker), and I highly recommend it to anyone in the mood to watch a good romance unfold.
*I swear I didn't give this mostly "9"s on purpose : )

Secondly Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na chemistry is off the charts and that just made the kisses so much more AWESOME. Also not only does this drama had the BEST male & female lead but also the BEST female second lead character you can think of.
All in all this is a wonderful drama and i would recommend it to anyone.

Story: It's extremely new. I believe this one was the first to introduce time travelling concept this year, it's original. From the start, I believe the premise that the story was trying to achieve was about destined love and simply said, it was there. The first two episodes was really hilarious; if you had watched other historicals before this one, this one would be really funny. There were episodes that feels that it's dragging the story already but would I recommend that for you to skip? No, some conflicts and unpredictable twists will unfold. The middle latter part had the comeback turn for me bacause the main story is picking up on it's main path. A struggling love of two destined lovers who hadn't given a chance on their past life- it's the concept of the romance for me. The ending? I wished it ended on episode 19! hehe., The ending was good but it could have been better. The ending was an open one., you'll the one to decide how you want it to end.
Acting/ Cast. The four people from the Joseon era were consistent on their acting. For that personalities to travel to the modern era., the show was extremely hilarious. I love how their characterization was made and for me they are not merely supporting roles., I love them. Han Ji Min performed well and the two main antagonist were convincing doing their evil deeds.
Music: The songs were light., not too intense but also fits on the episode being shown., and most of the time it had a fun feeling ( Again, most of the time because of the four rangers?.. haha.. )
Rewatch Value: It's rewachable if you are a lover of a romantic comedy concerning time-travelling concepts and you're a fan of the four guys in this story, I don't rewatch so it's up to you. :)
Overall: This is a drama that you will like if you are a believer of destined love or fate. It left me an impression that no matter what, if you were really fated for each other, your souls will find it's way to be together, if not now, maybe 300 years after? :D

Sometimes I skip parts in dramas because they predictable, but this drama was the complete opposite. If you skip an episode you will be lost or will greatly regret it.
This is the first drama that has ever made me cry, laugh, and ship 4 couples with four cast mates (think about it hahaha)
I usually don't watch melo dramas because I like happy endings and melo dramas don't really follow that story line, but this drama is different it's not a romance comedy-but is, and not a melo drama- but defiantly is. Some points in the drama you cry or tear up for a very sad reason which in my case seem like a melo drama. other times you laugh with the characters which seem like comic relief.
I started to watch 49 days because I saw Jung Il Woo dressed in all black with black hair- hello one of my top actors of all time looking sexy... of course I will watch it. i can say he is hot the whole way through the drama, but he will make you cry- a lot...
All the cast mates let you connect with their character. Each character has a story to be told watch 49 days and find out their stories. I promise you won't regret watching it. i sure didn't
i true hope you enjoy watch the drama as much as i did!

If you think about the plot in depth then its kind of creepy:
-A high school girl has an obsession over one boy for 3-4 years.
- And stalks him (in a super cute way!)
But, that was the great joy of this cute drama. I liked how Oh Ha Ni has/had an honest and pure love.
Kim hyun joong's acting was great as always :) His hair and smile are eye catching in this drama.
Oh Ha Ni was adorable. Her outfits are to die for!
I personally really liked this drama because i could relate to it because it has:
-the foreigner that falls for a handsome Korean boy (my dream)
-the snobby, extremely handsome, and smart boy that all the girls want -Oh Ha Ni the girl who is never noticed ( like me! haha)
Once you start this drama you won't be able to put it down. After you finish it you will be searching the web for dramas with close story lines.
I truly hope you enjoy the drama as much as I did! :)
