The upcoming Korean drama on JTBC, “Thirty Nine,” combines romance and slice of life drama about female friendship. The drama will follow three women who have been friends since their second year of high school, and are now all on the verge of turning 40.
The drama will highlight the beautiful and dramatic everyday experiences of three 39-year-old women who find themselves in unexpected situations.
Cha Mi Jo (Son Ye Jin) is the head dermatologist at a clinic in Gangnam. She has a good-natured character who grew up in a wealthy family, and she has everything she could wish for.
Jung Chan Young (Jeon Mi Do) is an acting teacher who aspires to become an actress. Her tone of voice may come out as raspy and candid, but the truthfulness with which she speaks makes her hard to not like her.
Jang Joo Hee (Kim Ji Hyun) works as a cosmetics manager in a department store. However, she has yet to have a romantic relationship because of her sheepish attitude.
With such a landmark birthday on the horizon, there are still lots the trio wishes to achieve such as lessons in love, careers, and family matters.
