  First of all, Hyun Bin's awesome. I love most of the dramas/movies he's been in so I recommend checking him out. This drama is another awesome drama he's been in. Song Hye Kyo and him together are adorable. It's a very realistic storyline. Some craziness does happen in it but none of those unrealistic type of things that happen in other dramas. You can actually imagine this happening to real people. So, I thought the storyline was awesome and so was the cast. I've rewatched at least part of this drama several times so I think it's very rewatchable. I hope people give this drama a try and really enjoy it as much as I did.

  It's an overall 8,5 but I rounded it to 9, for encouragement.
  
  I cannot believe this drama is so underrated. Honestly, give this drama a chance, it's one of the better ones out there, one of those that stand out by virtue of trying to actually say something, not just show pretty faces and be all cheesy. And at the same time, the effect is still very pleasing, which leads me to think this is a good example of a drama which achieves a pretty good balance between attractive package and enough substance to make it a worthwile watch.
  
  Beca's review says it all, but I thought I'd support it with my own couple of words, though it may be mostly repetition of what she said, since she said it all very well.
  
  The story is above par in that it doesn't show the typical boy meets girl situation; it's a clever script (from the writer of Padam, Padam), which shows a couple's way to maturing in a relationship, overcoming their differences and problems arising along the way. But the main thing is that it does show the reality of producing dramas and does so in a very clever manner, even using simultaneous camera views to show people talking on the phone or doing parallel things,. It thus offer a self-reflexive comment on itself as a drama. It's funny to think about it sometimes, since there are actressess playing actresses but also showing how real empotion can be used in the process of filming a drama and how emotions from real life connect both life and work. It ends u being dsifficult tos eprate one from the other, which again offers a comment on drama in general and there are many statements in there that will likely make you think.
  
  There are enough details of drama production to make it a very substantial drama. Each part is an act that is captioned and given a commentary by one of the two leads, about the meaning of drama and how it parallels their own lives.It ensures a sense of transition and a commentary for the viewer's consideration. The characters are real, not make-believe and so are their emotions and sotuations they are going through.
  
  The ensemble cast also did a really good job and they each, aside from different work personalities, show a different side to love and friendship. The drama is thus very rich and very clever, without doing too much as it all connects rather seamlessly together and there is nothing relly left hanging at the end of the story.
  
  I will agree with Beca about the OST: it is not memorable, but it isn;lt bad either in the sense that it does serve its purposes and I think this is ultimately the most important things since they have to cut down on something to get the drama out there, so in some way the OST may also be a commentary on the commentary about drama production.
  
  Really, give it a chance. It's a piece of good, honest work! It talks about ratings and the race to get those ratings up and what drama makers wouldn't do to get things right, about the glories and the pains involving such work. There are too many popular dramas out there that honestly do a terrible job, and then you find those underdogs that deliver and sometimes even surprise you.
  
  If that's not enough, if you're a Binnie person, Huyn Bin look very good in this and has of course very real chemistry with the female lead, so you may as well start watching it for them only, and then see how good of a drama this really is.
  
  I would rewatch this in some time. read more

  Coffee Prince

  They have the same kind of mature yet funny love. Also, some of the characters are alike and they share an actor. If you liked one, you'll definitely like the other.

  9 End 2 Outs

  Although the plot of these two dramas are very different I feel like they are similar in two large ways. The writing, acting and the situations of both dramas are very mature and set in an adult world with adult problems. The other way they are similar is the lead couple are friends who turn into lovers. If watched The World They Live In and appreciate the mature themes you may find that same quality appealing in 9 End 2 Outs.
