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.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

Great Drama!
It's a very worth to watch drama!The storyline, actings, chemistry among casts, original soundtrack are just perfect! It has mix emotions in it...Funny, happy, touching, romantic and sad. Son Ye-jin, Jeon Mi-do and Kim Ji-hyun potray each of the besties' character (Cha Mi-jo, Jeong Chang-young and Jang Joo-hee) perfectly. It has a great and deep meaning original soundtrack too. Fast storyline, good narration and flashback flow. It's very relatable with real life situation. A sweet slice of life story with deep message to be delivered about life, friendship, love, struggle, principle and mutual respect.

Poignant, thought provoking, inspiring and beautiful story about the power of friendship
I absolutely LOVE this show. The acting is beyond incomparable. I have cried so many tears as the program is so incredibly touching and moving. As I watch this show, I cannot help but wish to be part of a friendship group like the one depicted in this series. Each one of the 3 main characters absolutely captivates your attention and touches your heart. The fact that there is also a back story regarding adoption and the emotional issues involved is a bonus. Watching these 3 wonderful actresses embrace the characters of loving, caring and generous friends is so amazingly inspirational. I believe there is only one episode left. While most K dramas are single season, I hope that this series will depart from this tradition like Love, Marriage and Divorce and will bring us another season so that we may see how the characters will cope and evolve.I thank the writers and actors for bringing such wonderful entertainment to us.

LAUGH, LOVE, LIVE… YOUR LIFE!
Yeah, just one episode so far but loving it already! Great cast and surprisingly not the typical Rom-Com happily ever after that everyone is used to or likes. Of course, I’m a hopeless romantic myself but I like the more “realistic, this is life” it’s portraying so far. Maybe because I’m also in my forties, I can relate to some things, ha! Best friends, despite their different ways of living, still supportive and caring of each other no matter what. Chance encounters, awkward attractions and sweet surprises, it’s all part of life, isn’t it? Can’t wait to see how the other 11 episodes will be played out, especially with that opening narrative.Was this review helpful to you?

Esperava mais
E mais uma vez um drama que tinha um enorme potencial foi pelo ralo a baixo. Eu realmente queria muito ver esse drama, a premissa era boa os atores eram bons mais quando comecei assistir toda minha espectativa se esvaiu por completo.O drama te promete 3 protagonistas porém te entrega apenas uma e isso foi frustrante , toda a atenção e todos os problemas foi dado a Mi Joo, assim como a maior parte do tempo de tela foi dado para ela. Como assim gente uma das "protagonistas " estava morrendo com um cancer e nem assim foi dado quase nenhuma importancia a isso, pois estavam todo mundo correndo e prestando atenção nos problemas da Mi Joo, chegou um ponto que eu não aguentava mais ver ela em cena , tanto coisa acontecendo, eu querendo ver o progreso das outras histórias e tudo que eu via era a Mi Joo sofrendo.
Achei um drama arrastando, cansativo em certo ponto ,não foi de tudo ruim porem não foi bom o suficiente para me cativar, o unico episódio que me senti conectada foi o ultimo, em fim posso afirmar com conficção que não iriei assistir novamente e provalmente vou esquecer rápido disso tudo.

Emocionante!
"Foi mais do que suficiente para mim. Eu fui amada pelos meus pais, eu fui cuidada pelo homem que eu amo, e minhas amigas... Eu recebi tanto amor das minhas amigas... Mais do que suficiente. Graças a vocês, minha vida não poderia ter sido melhor."Tudo tão lindo!
Eu amei esse drama, a história, a amizade das meninas, o romance e o final.
Chanyoung, Mijo e Joohee nos ensinou o sentido da vida e é isso que importa!
Joohee foi minha personagem favorita! Tão pura, um amor de pessoa!
Chorei horrores mas valeu a pena ♥
Vi que teve muita gente que se decepcionou, pois imaginavam antes de assistir que o drama seguiria um rumo diferente. Mas eu sinceramente gosto de ser surpreendida, se tudo vai como eu imagino é legal, mas não trás tantas emoções, essa é a minha opinião.

A+
Je ne mattendais pas du tout à ca ! Je cherchais un drama léger avec des personnages matures. C'est à l'opposé d'une comédie romantique mais c'est tellement bien scénarisé, réalisé et joué que je lai regardé en 3 jours! Malgré le synopsis dramatique ( une des 3 amies va apprendre quelle souffre d'un grave cancer) , on se sent surtout réconforté en visionnant cette série. C'est écrit de manière à ce que l'on vive de la tristesse ( préparer vos mouchoirs) mais pas de l'abattement . Cela me semble réaliste au niveau des réactions du clan et certaines scènes qui seraient difficiles a regarder nous sont épargnées donc n'ayez pas peur. C'est une ode à l'amour !!!! Peu importe la forme qu'elle prend. Si vous chercher de la mièvrerie, des bisous et de la sensualité, passer votre tour. Mais si vous avez le goût d'un drama qui vous donnera le goût de fermer votre tv et d'aller Vivre !! Vous aller adorer.En bref, ce kdrama m'a fait une forte impression. On dirait qu'une équipe de thérapeutes et scénaristes on fait équipe pour que cette série soit parfaite dans son genre et puisse même aider ceux qui traverserait une épreuve similaire.
