Latest ‘Thirty-Nine’ teaser puts the spotlight on the soon-to-be 40 adults’ friendships
Upcoming K-drama Thirty-Nine is among the highly-anticipated shows of 2022. The show brings together three top actresses and talks about a friendship rarely expressed in a story before - a group of 39-year-old females who have been friends since high school, on the verge of welcoming their forties.
The latest teaser showcases the unforeseen circumstances that await the group. Cha Mi-jo states that calling the trio “friends who are like family” doesn’t even describe their friendship by a margin, signifying the strong bond the trio share.
The teaser also hints at Cha Mi-jo being diagnosed with an illness, although the teaser does not reveal what it is. Cha Mi-jo remains in denial and breaks down in tears. Jang Joo-hee is seen crying her eyes out, Jung Chan-young wriggles in pain on her bed, and Cha Mi-jo collapses in a parking lot.
After a glimpse at their heart-wrenching struggles, the clip shows the trio having fun and supporting each other. It also highlights life-changing decisions such as Kim Sun-woo (played by Yeon Woo-jin) proposing to Cha Mi-jo and happily spending time together. The other two romantic leads, Kim Jin-seok (Lee Moo-saeng) and Park Hyun-joon (Lee Tae-hwan) also feature in the teaser.
