Thirty Nine (2022)

Thirty-Nine (2022) - The drama is heartwearming for me, I could really see the friendship that was built through the years. I like the adoption theme part on the drama. I did cry watching it but there are parts in the drama that are quite questionable for me that is why it didn't air for a week. Still if I could comment on the drama's entirety, in the span of just 12 episodes there were a lot of what's going on and they put all the elements in the drama. The actors are all so great, acting wise very good. I like it but I was not amazed by it. It's nice but that's it.

Such an important message

I have never written a review but because I have seen a lot of bad ones on this one I felt compelled to leave mine here.

The characters go through a lot of hardship but also a lot of happiness and companionship, just like how life works.

Because the main plot (warning: an extremely sad one) is so dear to my heart, so relevant and so touching I can't help but leave this drama with bittersweet tears. The way the writers chose the words in the last two episodes and the way they gave the characters the emotions they had...makes me completely forget about other little things that bothered me during the show. The ending was too real and too beautiful.

This is, although a sad story, undoubtedly a friendship story.
While I understand that a lot of people feel like the /big sad discovery/ killed the mood in the drama, I also believe that this topic brings a lot of light onto how humans feel and express all kinds of emotions from anger to grief.

I highly recommend you watch this show if you are up for a beautiful story about love and, most importantly, unconditional friendship (and if you are okay with crying every 2 episodes).

Não atingiu as minhas expectativas.

O dorama não entrega o que promete, o casal "principal" fica logo no dia em que se conhecem, as coisas acontecem e não tem detalhes, quando a Chan-young morre só mostra a ligação do Jin-seok e dps a Mi-jo e a Joo-hee indo no cemitério. Uma das coisas que eu estava bem animada pra ver seria o desenvolvimento da Joo-hee e o chefe, mas nem mostrou eles ficando juntos. Pelo visto acho q eles ficaram juntos no final por causa que a Joo-hee falou que tava num relacionamento sério com ele, mas não mostrou nada. O destaque é praticamente todo pra Mi-jo e um pouquinho pra Chan-young, agr a Joo-hee não tem destaque nenhum, em algum dos eps ela fala q se sente excluída e a Mi-jo falou que isso não era vdd e não sabia que ela se sentia assim, sendo que era vdd sim. A Joo-hee parece uma personagem secundária. Perdi o tempo assistindo a esse drama.

Hmmmmm.....

Maybe i put to much expectation of this drama since the plot of this drama about achive their dream when they are forty. The plot is really good, about friendship, sliced of life, etc.

I love how the actor have the color of their personality but i did get the hype. It become classy k drama when started of episode two.

The main focus of the story not about the dream but they chasing by the time to fullfil all they dream. All the problem only connected into one and it become weird.

Maybe they have to change the title of this drama for more suitable for the story. but yeah the actors is good.

Although I got into the drama because I'm a fan of both Son Ye-jin and Jeon Mi-do, I quite enjoyed the time watching this drama. Big heads up, this is a sad, sad, really sad drama and you'll know it early on so proceed at your own expense.
The drama deals with quite a sensitive and emotion topic, which is grief; more especially, the death of someone before their time. Despite all that, the drama really got its message through and through. It's a testament to human nature of dealing with incredible emotional turmoil and the irreplacable role of friendship in getting through such obstacles. In the end, what I take from the drama is a slight sense of hope and encouragement. And isn't that just enough for a good drama!

If you enjoy crying (like I do)

I'm going to be honest, the first episodes had me blown away. The direction the story was taking was something I hadn't experienced before and the acting was so so so good it had my jaw on the floor. Loved how the story revolves around three women in the end of their 30s and how one deals with loss that isn't sudden but breaks you down little by little until it happens. It is definitely a tear-jerker and a melodrama as some would say. If you enjoy crying as much as me (and cry as easily) I think this drama has a lot to give as it never becomes overbearing. The acting is so good it sometimes felt like I was watching real people, not actors.

Yet some of the cast was better than others (blown away especially by the actors who played Chanyoung and Jinseok) and the sub-plots I didn't find as engaging or interesting. Nor did I really feel the romance between our main character and her love interest. I'm glad it's only 12 episodes so that the story doesn't get dragged on for longer than it should. Don't know if it's worth rewatching, but definitely a memorable drama that'll stay with me for a long time.

Good Series...Though Trailer Was Misleading

This was a really good series, in that it hit many aspects of what being grown-up is about, and that life hands you things you least expect, both good and bad.

I wanted to watch this because it looked like a fun story, with three friends enjoying the end of their 30s. The storyline became a very sad timeline very quick, which was really shocking. Personally, I can relate to this story very much, and also have two really great girlfriends, that have shared a lifelong friendship. I guess I wanted to see this as a happy series, rather than sad, but I completed the series anyway.

I think it could've ended at around episode 8, instead of 12. It was just a lot of added drama for the last few episodes. I think the friend actresses had good chemistry, along with the men who were involved in their lives. It was almost too perfectly synced, though, like it doesn't really work that way so perfectly in real life. But, it's a K-drama, right?

I'd say if you want a drama that will make you hit those emotions, this may be for you. But it's not a comedy or lighthearted at all, like how the trailer showed it.

Isso é sobre o que não vai voltar.

Desde o começo Thirty Nine trouxe uma sensibilidade incrível, a história era triste mas depois de alguns minutos você se pegava rindo e esquecendo que aquilo ia acontecer no fim, você se divertia e torcia pra que no fim não acontecesse, para que no final fosse tudo perfeito e feliz. Thirty Nine mostrou uma grande amizade e que a morte levou uma parte dela. Eu chorei todos os episódios mas não estava preparada para isso. Eu me acabei de chorar. A atuação da Ye Jin, Mido impecáveis, eu já tinha as visto atuar em outros dramas e amo o trabalho e foi tão lindo vê-las juntas, dava pra ver pelo olhar o carinho e o amor. Kim ji hyun, belíssima atuação mas não a conhecia antes, fico feliz de ter conhecido aqui! Eu amei tanto thirty nine, amei cada lição e espero que eu tenha aprendido muito.
As histórias de amor tão lindas, as histórias que vão aparecendo. Tudo lindo da maneira mais sensível e emocionante possível.
Só senti falta da Joo hee aparecer mais, ter um desenvolvimento melhor no romance dela também sabe? Só isso mesmo, porque de resto foi perfeito.
Meu coração doeu mas ele sorriu diversas vezes ao longo do drama. Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível!

the plot of the story is not a new plot. plots like this are already widely used. However, acting from the actors was good and was able to bring me to finish this drama. Thirty nine provides a new perspective on the friendship of three 39-year-old women. There are many touching stories while watching this drama. Mijo, Chanyoung, and Joohee's friendship is very heartwarming. Each character has its own conflict. minus point of this drama is Chanyoung's love story which seems to normalize Jinseok and Chanyoung's affair in the eyes of some viewers. However, if you look at the roots, I think it was Jinseok's wife who lied and Jinseok who didn't act firm and didn't really solve the problem. Come to think of it, Chanyoung's love story is the saddest, having accidents, inner conflicts, and being separated by death. I cried when I watched the last episode. there is no death that is not sad, especially the death of the closest person. Chanyoung's story can be called a beautiful sad ending.

Sad Slice of Life

If you’ve lost someone to cancer…
If someone dear to you is living with cancer…
This drama will be that much more painful to watch.

The friendship dynamics of the 3 friends were reminiscent of Sex in the City especially the way they had each other’s back and their honesty with each other. All 3 FLs excelled in displaying a myriad of emotions and expressions and while this drama focused on one of the FLs more than the other two, it didn’t detract from me being immersed in the way they lived their lives. The MLs had a tough act to follow and some of the couple moments lacked chemistry.

The drama was on the way to being great but unfortunately decided to overuse some typical drama tricks. A few coincidences that makes sense is ok but one that stuck out like a sore thumb was the doctor ML being friends with the other 2 MLs even though he grew up overseas. And these 3 MLs pair up nicely with the 3 FLs…

I was also annoyed at one scene which juxtapositioned one character suffering in pain while another character was enjoying a romantic moment.

Less is clearly more in this case. As it stands, this drama stopped short of being great and just settled at being good.
