Thirty Nine 서른 아홉 [2022]


Recommended Posts

There seems to be slight changes/difference to the characters in the korean version.

 

In the chinese version "Thirty But Nothing", the 3 characters were:

 

Son Ye-jin as Cha Mi-jo, director of Gangnam Dermatology Clinic*

- I think this character is the biggest change between the korean and chinese dramas.

- In the chinese version, the character was both a housewife and a capable businesswoman. Her husband's success was in large part due to her but he had a mistress, I think (didn't finish the chinese series). One of the more popular scenes was her fighting the rich housewives who bullied her son in school.

 

Jeon Mi-do as Jeong Chan-young, an acting teacher*

- The character in the chinese version had a normal job. She had a horrible husband who paid more attention to his fish tank and expected her to cook etc. Good thing she decided to leave him!

 

Kim Ji-hyun as Jang Joo-hee, a cosmetics manager at a department store*

- The chinese character "Wang Manni" was a savvy salesperson in a fashion boutique. She was smart and confident, but Kim Ji-Hyun doesn't give me that kind of vibe. Guess it will be played differently which is fine. Her story revolved mainly around her career and love life.

She is someone who speaks her opinions ruthlessly, and she tends to make her friends Cha Mi Jo (Son Ye Jin) and Jang Joo Hee (Kim Ji Hyun) angry with her honest, fiery words.

When she’s a teacher, she whips out her professional side, but in front of her friends, she’s a free-spirited ball of energy.

Watch: Son Ye Jin, Jeon Mi Do, And Kim Ji Hyun Are Best Friends Through Thick And Thin In “Thirty-Nine” Teaser And Poster

Jan 26, 2022 by S. Nam

 

JTBC’s upcoming drama “Thirty-Nine” released an exciting new preview!

 

“Thirty-Nine” is about three friends who met in their second year of high school and are now on the verge of turning 40. The drama will tell the beautiful and emotional everyday stories of three 39-year-old women who encounter unforeseen circumstances in their lives.

 

Son Ye Jin plays Cha Mi Jo, the head dermatologist of a clinic in Gangnam. Jeon Mi Do takes the role of Jung Chan Young, an acting teacher who previously dreamed of becoming an actress, and Kim Ji Hyun stars as Jang Joo Hee, a department store cosmetics manager.

 

The newly released teaser video begins with Cha Mi Jo running excitedly through soap bubbles with children. She narrates, “On the verge of turning 40, nothing much had changed.” The scene then drastically changes to show the three friends in a brawl with someone trying to grab at Cha Mi Jo’s hair and Jang Joo Hee fallen on the ground with a nosebleed.

 

Despite approaching the age of 40, love and first meetings are still as heart-fluttering as ever. Like realistic friends, Jung Chan Young and Jang Joo Hee lean in close to eavesdrop on Cha Mi Jo’s call with a man she is potentially interested in. Cha Mi Jo also pretends to be disgusted when a man gifts Jung Chang Young flowers. He smoothly remarks, “It was difficult to pick flowers less pretty than you.”

 

Jang Joo Hee also appears to be preparing something special as she lists taking wedding photos as one of her plans. However, their scheme becomes even more confusing when the next scene shows them breaking a store’s glass wall with bricks. They resolve, “Don’t look back. Let’s have fun while doing everything,” raising questions about the trio’s plot. The text, “Whether it is heart-fluttering romance, happiness, or sadness, [it is fine] as long as I experience them with you guys,” draws anticipation for the upcoming touching story.

 

Teaser 3

 

Furthermore, “Thirty-Nine” unveiled a new poster of Cha Mi Jo, Jung Chan Young, and Jang Joo Hee wearing flower crowns and bright smiles on their faces. With petals fluttering around and a warm evening glow enveloping them, the three friends look even more beautiful than the flowers surrounding them.

 

The text on the poster reads, “Our ‘friendly’ days in which we laughed a lot and cried a lot,” highlighting the depth of Cha Mi Jo, Jung Chan Young, and Jang Joo Hee’s friendship and how precious their relationship is. Not to mention, the poster builds anticipation for the cast’s synergy as they portray three friends who have spent over 20 years together.

The production team shared, “We feel as if the set laughed and cried together with the actresses at every moment due to Son Ye Jin’s, Jeon Mi Do’s, and Kim Ji Hyun’s acting. The actresses’ acting synergy, which makes everyone instantly immerse [into the story], will become the greatest point to anticipate in the drama. Please show lots of interest and anticipation for the warm and refreshing ‘Thirty-Nine,’ through which viewers can reflect once again on the presence of the people precious to them.”

Jan 27, 2022 by L. Kim

 

JTBC’s new drama “Thirty-Nine” has shared a glimpse of Yeon Woo Jin in character!

 

“Thirty-Nine” is about three friends who met in their second year of high school and are now on the verge of turning 40. The drama will tell the beautiful and emotional everyday stories of three 39-year-old women who encounter unforeseen circumstances in their lives.

 

Son Ye Jin plays Cha Mi Jo, the head dermatologist of a clinic in Gangnam. Jeon Mi Do takes the role of Jung Chan Young, an acting teacher who previously dreamed of becoming an actress, and Kim Ji Hyun stars as Jang Joo Hee, a department store cosmetics manager.

 

In the drama, Yeon Woo Jin takes the role of Kim Sun Woo, a 39-year-old dermatologist who works at the same hospital as Cha Mi Jo. He makes many women’s hearts flutter with his handsome looks and sweet personality. As the son of a former member of the National Assembly, he grew up with many opportunities. Yet, he’s humble and knows how to enjoy small happiness. He is the prime example of a perfect man who is good-looking and has a thoughtful heart, unpretentious honest, and recklessness.

 

Kim Sun Woo, who returned to Korea after becoming a doctor in the United States, coincidentally encounters Cha Mi Jo and becomes strongly attracted to her. He is a pure soul who only has eyes for her, and as a result, expectations are high for their warm romance.

 

The newly released stills highlight Kim Sun Woo’s sweet and kind charms. He exudes warmth as he smiles at someone, and he is particularly transparent about his feelings for Cha Mi Jo as he gazes at her with affectionate eyes that shows he will do anything for her.
