Perfect Thumbs up to all the people behind this drama..I specifically congratulate the writer, who is brilliant enough to made the watcher predict of what's gonna happen next, but then leaving them dumbfounded and drooling... The lead pair are just so natural in acting ,smoothly doing their role(not trying hard)..At first i said Im gonna give it a try, but then when i started watching it i can't help but to be hooked and crave for more.. i even stayed up late at night just to watch it.. and checking every now and then, if the next episode was uploaded,its the first drama that i endure watching RAW,, lol... and not contented with that until now i finished it already, im still re watching it hahaha..For those who didnt seen it yet , i recommend this one.. if ur looking for a drama that will make ur brain work and be inlove again.. Then better be starting to watch it now..

I had an adjumma crush on LJK after watching Iljimae and wanted to see everything he had starred in, both dramas and movies. I came across this on Netflix. I watched the first disc from Netflix and immediately went and ordered the entire drama! I've never done this before. Never have I been swept into a drama so thoroughly that I immediately wanted to own it! The action, superb; the story, excellent; the acting, phenomenal! I became an obsessed fan of LJK after this. This drama is on my computer, iPad so it travels with me. There are very few moments where this drama is uninteresting. It takes you to Korea and Thailand; showing you the darker sides very well. I was hoping when LJK returned from service he would do another action drama but because I have totally faith in his acting ability, I am looking forward to whatever he does in the future. I don't want to give away any plot lines in this review, let's just say I highly recommend this to all, you will not be disappointed!

Masterpiece. I actually don fancy action drama so much but I give a 10 ratings to King 2 Heart. Thanks to our leads Lee Seung Ki and Ha Ji Won. LSK has the spoilt kid look but brainy. HJW as usual a action lady just like in Secret Garden.I would admit the new guy Eun Si Kyung is very good in carrying his role as royal guard. Who is this guy? Its thriller, Lee Seung Ki is really good in his role as the King. I just hate it whats happen to Eun Si Kyung on episode 17. I really enjoy their WOC, I think I am going to enroll in on of the boot camp game. I think its fun. Overall, the story is great...co operation as team, love and trust is all about. Great drama.

Such an excellent drama from start to finish. I don't think I've cried so much with any drama but this one. There's somethings especially the last 4 episodes that really gets emotional and you can't help but cry but throughout the series, there's just so many touching moments. There's no over the topness, everything is just so relate-able. It could be any family's issues and its dealt with in an honest, true manner. Not everything is a bed of roses. You have to work hard at things in life. Even if life doesn't go the way you have it planned out, you pick yourself up and keep moving. Sometimes, you will have that happy life after all, you just have to work for it. Have a glass of water and some Kleenex ready!

I am so glad that I decided to watch this drama. I initially ignored it, because of my indifference to baseball, but high reviews won me over, and I slowly fell completely in love with it.

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 : )

This is seriously one of the best kdrama i've ever saw. It's definitely a must watch if you want to laugh, cry, go OMG and swoon. The acting was just amazing all round that you can't help but feel for the characters. When they smiled you smiled, when they cried you cried and when their heart broke so did yours. Everything from this drama was amazing including the music, script, camera work and effects.

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.

Destiny, Fate, Reincarnation and Giving an unknown love another chance through another time--that's Rooftop Prince.

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

I was on the edge of my seat for each episode.
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!

This drama has a light and delicate plot.
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! :)

This has to be one of the best dramas I've seen! Everything was so consistent and even though it's a fantasy drama, it was realistic. It ticks all the boxes. Romance, Comedy, Action, Politics, Fantasy, Historical. Although there are many genres for this I feel that the writers balanced them out really well! The Casts were A-MAZING!!! The chemistry between the leads was just phenomenal.

The story isnt the most unique and it isnt the best. But its strong. Throughout the whole series there was no messing about. It was straight forward and straight to the point - no fillers or anything. Some dramas have over dramatic storylines and they simply arent convincing, while this one is. It is another time travelling drama but the mechanism of time traveling in this series is very different to the ones we have seen, so you can't really compare it to Rooftop Prince because both are very very different. It's an incredible fluffy drama but not over the top. It has the more serious and heavy element that plays a major part in the series, which was balanced really well with the lovely romantic scenes.

The Acting. Just WOW! Yoo In Na's first lead, and she did a REALLY REALLY good job. Ji Hyun Woo, also was amazing. Ji Hyun Woo isnt the best looking actor out there, but he shows intelligence and charisma through his character that I havent seen before and I fell for him. Just shows that looks arent everything really. Hee Jin, also is your typical ditsy lead but one thing that is unexpected is that she's actually clever and strong. She's really outgoing and bold, and this shows throughout the whole drama. She doesnt suffer from the typical i'm-oh-so-bold-but-after-episode-10-I'm-suddenly-unable-to-fend-for-myself sydrome. She can pull of the serious and heartbreaking scene extremely convincingly, before I know it, I am crying with and for her!

Both of these leads are definitely going to be within my radar from now on. The chemsitry between them are so realistic and sweet. My heart has suffered many palpitations because of these two! None of the shy touching-lips-slightly kisses but full on mouth-open kisses. HOT! They are so good to watch together. If nothing peaks your interest, then these two definitely will, I gaurantee it! The rest of the casts are flawless and pulled off their characters. What more can I say? A lot but I'm not going to bore you with how much I love Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo right now :D! Be warned, you cannot stop smiling when watching this.

The music compliments the acting and the story really well and relate to the theme of the series. I have downloaded the full OST and I will enjoy it because it was one of the reasons that got me hooked from episode one.

I'm buying the DVD when it comes out so I will definitely rewatch this :)

Although some things aren't explained it's pretty much up to your own imagination to figure it out. And most probably you will be right. If you are looking for a romantic comedy with strong non stereotypical leads this is definitely the one. For me it was perfect in every way and I really cannot fault anything.

It's just a must watch drama!!! The leads have a great chemistry, they are so cute! The story line is really good and it's not short in kissing scenes, especially the last episonde is just amazing! The best drama I've ever seen and I'm a weteran ;)This drama got me curious. Swapping between times, that are 300 years apart. I love this sort of imaginative dramas, that have a whole lot of scope of 'what if' > 'What if, a person say 300 yrs ago , reaches ahead of his time , how he reacts in modern times.!!' . Taking into account, the fact : that time used to pass real slow ,say 300 yrs ago, compared to now.

the story was good slow but good they could have finished this in 15 eps
the music was lovely the acting was stellar
the stepmother and daughter were so evil in this i brought out my hexes and voodoo doll (well i was going to buy one anyway)Seung ki was truly adorable and mean. halmoni (grandmother) needs five stars for her acting. She was also the grandmother on rooftop prince so it was nice to see her in a good role where so got more screen time.
the music was good as well. but i don't think i'll watch it again it needed more to the end for me to rewatch it.
the story is about a girl who goes through so much tragedy and how she bounces back and doesn't allow the bad thing that was done to her color her life (karma)she helps those who she can help even though she needs is herself
so overall i give it an 8 because there were some truly talented people in this movie

First of all I was really surprised about how graphic this drama is. I have never seen that before and am wondering if they weren't that strict back when this was airing. ;)

The acting was really great and it looked natural and believable. The characters were likeable and realistic, at least most of them.

There were some things that I couldn't agree with (for example what Onizuka's police officer-friend was doing all the time), but they didn't matter that much.

I like how the story was going slowly, but the character development was really fast and how beautifully the friendship and relationship between Onizuka, the students and Fuyutsuki was portrayed.
I also liked that all the characters had their own background story so you could feel with them.

I agree with this being a must-see. You hardly notice that it's an old drama and when you occasionally DO notice it's pretty funny. ;)
