Firstmost.. Happy Birth Week to Jiahui where ever she might be in Japan! :D The last week has been pretty crazy, what with all the dumpling wrapping and new furniture arriving (i still can't get over the fact that my mom and i rearranged the hall's furniture
thrice). Add doing my dad's errands and trying to cram stuff into an overflowin suitcase.. Suffice to say i needed a bit of escapism... And herein enters the all important role of Korean drama!
"9 end 2 outs" is about the love lives of 30 yr olds. While there have been many raves about it, i was kinda meh on the story development. Ended up fast forwarding thru semi-plots i deemed useless to the main story. Got a bit lost about the writers' objectives (like why is this person coming in now?). Certain parts of the story seemed a bit disjointed. Perhaps it was lost in translation... Gah now i really do wanna learn Korean! Admittedly, during certain bouts of the show, i had unreasonable urges to reach through the screen and slap the female lead on the other end. Either she was really over analysing too much, talking too much or being really whiney/stupid.
But then again! I perserved!
Because "9 end 2 outs" has several redeeming qualities..
