9 End 2 Outs (2007)

Soo Ae, Lee Jung-jin, Lee Tae-sung, and Hwang Ji-hyun are the stars of the 2007 South Korean television series 9 End 2 Outs. It has 16 episodes and is broadcast on MBC every Saturday and Sunday at 21:40 from July 14 to September 9, 2007. The enduring query of whether a man and a woman can ever be merely friends is explored in the romantic comedy series. The series, as its name implies, is replete with baseball allusions, and each of its sixteen episodes begins with a memorable line that connects the game of baseball to real-world events.

The drama centers on the love of thirty-something singles. When Hong Nan Hee realized that her closest friend and former classmate Byun Hyung Tae had always been there for her, she stopped falling in and out of love. Hong Nan Hee is a regular employee at a publishing company. In the perspective of many women, Hyung Tae may appear like a wonderful catch, but to Nan Hee, with whom he spent his formative years, he is just a cowardly lad. The baseball theme in "9 End 2 Outs" is used to contrast the lives and destinies of those who are in love.
