Chan-young, cancer. So the spoilers in what we're watching is true. I've only seen the first episode. Anyone can have cancer but not Jeon Mi-do's character. This is heartbreak loading.

The dynamics of thirty nine is great, and as rightly said, I've not seen adoption handled so nicely with a good depth of sincerity of heart in a long long while. My one cross now is Sun-woo having too many connections to Mi-jo. It's too convineint.

Mi-Jo : I like her, she's pretty straightforward and says what she thinks. She's not shy with Chan-Young and her relationship. I didn't understand her will to get a sabbatic year. She didn't look overworked, she could see her friends pretty often, play golf, listen a concert... I liked how the adoption was handled for her, less for Sun-Woo's sister...

Sun-Woo : how he could be everywhere like that? I can handle some big coincidences, it's KDrama world after all, but in this case the writer went too far. I wasn't fond of their first night together, I didn't feel the sparks between them. I think their discussion about his sister was the point I could feel something between them.

Chan-Young : her story raises so many questions about what is good or bad. Jeon Mi-do and Lee Moo-saeng had a great chemistry and it's hard to not root for them.

Joo-Hee : I'm not fond of Kim Ji-hyun in this role. Her character looked like a supporting role and I have difficulties to imagine a love story with Lee Tae-Hwan.

Now, we got the illness and death, I'm curious about the new ton of the drama we will get.

I totally agree, I hope they will keep the light tone and celebrate life and friendship.

To be honest, as Son YeJin's character is the narrator, I thought she was to one who was going to die.

Generally, I like it but I'm not able to feel the chemistry between Son YeJin and her male counterpart (I know, after Hyun Bin in Crash landing on you no one can be on the same level XD) but I really feel it in the trio, they make me jealous of their friendship!

I have mixed feelings about this drama. I like the three women and their friendship. Their scenes together were definitely the highlights. I was less enamored with the romances and the terminal illness plot.

Mi-jo and Sun-woo were so awkward together. That couldn’t have been good sex. IMO the actors don’t have much chemistry, which makes me less forgiving of the kdrama coincidences. I usually don’t mind Yeon Woo-jin, but he’s not working for me here. I can’t even tune out the dialogue and enjoy looking at him because I hate his hair.

I do like Mi-jo’s family (Her sister is awesome) and the adoption angle. I’m more invested in Sun-woo and his sister than Sun-woo and Mi-jo.

Chan-young is the most interesting character to me so of course they gave her the terminal illness plot. Sigh. Jeon Mi-do and Lee Moo-saeng do have chemistry, so of course he has to be married. I’m not opposed to an infidelity plot as long as they don’t glorify the cheaters, but it’s too much here with the terminal illness.

Joo-hee got short changed. Hopefully, she’ll get more screentime and development moving forward.

Son Ye-jin was good at the end of Episode 2 but the doctor telling Mi-jo first and then it turning into a moment with her love interest … I didn’t like that. I wish the start of Chan-young’s storyline had included Chan-young.

I liked the 3 women together and I liked Yeon Woo-jin. I did NOT like the two involved in the (emotional 🙄) affair. Especially Jin-seok seemed like the worst kind of manipulator.

Most relatable part of the episode was Joo-hee cooing over Im Si-wan in Run On 😂.

I'm wondering if the terminal illness is a red herring and will turn out to be a misdiagnosis by the end so all 3 friends live happily ever after.

I liked it. I don't really know where this is going, but I liked two first episodes. I like the fact that three women can handle their lives the way they want (it doesn't mean they are fully happy, just that they do what they want) and I also wished romance was not the focus, but this is dramaland, and what is a 39 woman doing on her own?

Anyway, I liked the drunk confession and I buy the attraction between MiJo and SeonWoon. Two total strangers that have sex after a couple of meetings, they feel the attraction but don't know anything about the other. I love the way this is being portrayed in dramaland where sex only happens if love. And here we have two adult people handling sex and an affair in an adult way for a change.

I really didn't like this. Everything felt really stereotyped to me. The three women, their friendship. They are loud, often drunk, embarassing in public. They seem very close then in truth they know very little about the others. I feel like I have seen this kind of characters many times already.
Nothing surprised me in a good way. The three of them are all wonderful actresses but I didn't feel anything for the characters.

And I don't really feel like going through all the cancer melodrama. I was hoping for a slice of life drama with good female characters and lovely friendship. This is a no for me unfortunately.

"JUNG CHAN-YOUNG (Jeon Mi-do) works in the entertainment industry – it’s not totally clear what her job is, but I’m leaning towards a talent manager." I read somewhere she is an acting coach

I haven't watched a live show in ages but this was the one I decided to tune into because I've become a huge Jeon Mido fan and wanted to see what kind of role she would choose next. I'm not surprised she's nailing her role as Chan Young. I'm surprised that we already know by episode 2 who dies (wondering if this is infact true and not some dream sequence). It'll be interesting how the story picks up because as of now, nothing besides the terminal illness is really interesting....

For me, so far I don’t feel much chemistry, whether betw the 3 actresses (it’s just not quite convincing, esp compared to other shows with way stronger womance, eg Work Later Drink Now), or the love interest pairings - maybe only SYJ and YWJ have a bit more spark but I’m not sold yet; and I’m really puzzled abt JMD and LMS, I don’t see why she wld be so enamoured with his character at all…?! (I was worried for JMD that she picked this as her follow up after the runaway success of HP, and so far my fears are definitely still there :( I do like LMS as an actor, but nope don’t see what’s swoonsome abt his character here so far)

That said, it feels like it’s gonna be a melomance that isn’t too hard to watch, n probably/hopefully no big baddies (besides LMS’s onscreen wife but it wld be totally justified) or closet secrets. SYJ definitely shines the most - but which is also part of the problem, maybe? She shines TOO much, and casts a shadow on the rest, haha! Let’s see where this one goes…

I liked the three women and their friendship. I didn't like the affair, and I don't like Jin seek for what he is doing to Chan young and his wife. Neither deserves his gross treatment and it also isn't good for his son. As for Mi Jo and Sun Woo, they are fine. They don't have a great deal if chemistry, but they are fine, nothing really to write home about.

The one night stand kind of worked for me, contrary to some views. I like that they were upfront about it. Girl asks the boy if that is his intention and boy doesn't deny it and they do it. Two consenting adults. No going around the bushes. They feel the attraction and they both have had not anyone in bed for probably a long time.

Yeon Woo-Jin’s hair, that is just — seriously, how?? Whyyyy???

I feel so scammed by the trailers! But now that we have a faint idea of what’s happening i’d like to see where it’s going. Sure it’s a trope fest but the order is kinda mixed up so there’s still hope in my opinion. Trope-fest have never bothered me (not that much) anyway

It was alright, I guess. Not a runaway success, but definitely not awful either. I’d say I have an equal number of likes and dislikes so far. Hopefully, things improve in the upcoming episodes.

I liked how adoption was handled here. This might not age well, but at least for now, I really appreciate how Mi-jo being adopted is not dramatic some hush-hush secret. She has a healthy, loving relationship with her parents and sister, and I hope the writer sticks with that. I really hope they don’t tie in her insomnia and panic attacks to her adoption. That would be such a step-back.

As for Sun-woo and Mi-jo, they’re okay. I don’t think the chemistry is jumping out of the screen or anything, but it’s not bad. The coincidences were a bit too much for me though. Couldn’t they have met and established a connection more organically? I don’t necessarily mind the one-night stand either. Things can sometimes be awkward afterwards and that’s fine to show. Now, my real problem is Yeon Woo-jin’s hair. That hairstylist should be fired.

Jin-seok needs to stay the hell away from Chan-young. Poor woman can’t catch a break. Her dream career didn’t work out, the love of her life married another woman and keeps her on a side as a mistress, and now she has cancer. As much as I dislike the terminal illness angle, I hope we get to see her be happy before her death. Preferably away from Jin-seok, which juts me to say because unlike Yeon Woo-jin and Son Ye-jin, I felt like Jeon Mi-do and Lee Mu-saeng did have the kind of chemistry that instantly jumped out from the screen. Ugh why did he have to be married and a complete ass? I can’t win.

We didn’t get to see enough of Joo-hee for me to make a solid assessment of her as a character yet, but she’s alright so far. I hope she gets more screentime soon.

So, uhh, love the main trio and their friendships. Most of the other elements need a bit more work.

I will have to tread lightly with this show. I wanted light and fluffy this go around, but I understand that life isn't like that.

The tone of this show is throwing me off but I’m already falling for Yeon Woo-jin’s character so I’m ready to keep watching. In the scenes without the lead couple, so far, there isn’t enough to glue me. The trio of female friends feels particularly scripted and unrealistic to me (like a parody of how female friends in their 30s should behave). It gives me a weird Sex and the City vibe that makes it feel outdated.

Just finished watching the 2nd episode. I don't mind the odd coincidence, but how Sun-woo happens to also know Jin-seok had me thinking..... did I miss how they know each other?

I really like Joo-hee. Her face and body are always animated so she brings an extra element of fun into her scenes. The way she smiled at the police station with a tissue in her nose is priceless.

Obviously, this is going in a direction I did not expect so I look forward to seeing how it plays out. I thought it would show how the 3 girls survived new relationships.
