I wish there was more to jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Thirty Nine then just writing about its steady ratings. It’s got no buzz in K-ent and among K-netizens, and I know since I cover K-dramas and the buzzy ones are always trending high whether from raves or rants. This drama is just kinda there and if it wasn’t headlined by Son … Continue reading →
I have girlfriends who are super into Thirty Nine and didn’t realize there were no new episodes last week due to the presidential election preemption so they are happy to be back on track this week. The drama got 5.708% for episode 7 and 7.229% for episode 8, and there are only four more episodes left as this is another … Continue reading →
Holy hot cakes this is absolutely the wildest casting of 2022, and maybe of the last few years. When have I ever seen a male lead reunite with his female lead but then as the second male lead. Like, whut? K-ent is reporting that Jung Hae In will be joining the cast of K-drama Tree Dies on Their Feet, but … Continue reading →
So I haven’t started on jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Thirty Nine yet still, not because I don’t want to watch just have too much on my plate between Forecasting Love and Weather, Twenty Five, Twenty One, and now A Business Proposal. I also still need to binge All of Us are Dead and Juvenile Justice. But back to Thirty Nine, it … Continue reading →
At this point it’s safe to get into the water Thirty Nine. Okay okay, I’m teasing but sometimes I worry that I will watch a drama and have it fall apart quickly and ruin the vibe, Sisyphus: The Myth imma looking at you. I’m used to K-dramas falling apart at the end, that’s the norm rather than the exception, but … Continue reading →

Top stars and engaged couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin announced earlier this month that they are tying the knot next month in March 2022, and their agencies confirmed it but said it would be a private wedding. Some celebs hold so-called public weddings where the news reporters can interview them beforehand and even post pictures from the ceremony. … Continue reading →
One of the ancillary positives of Crash Landing on You for me was the validation and also outfit feast of seeing K-actress Son Ye Jin showcase her visuals. That she could pull off any outfit the drama put her in, including actual North Korea looks from hair to clothes plus accessories proved the adage that goddesses can wear potato sacks … Continue reading →
An entertainment reporter at YTN wrote an article today (click here) that went into depth to discuss the first two episodes of just premiered jTBC drama Thirty Nine. I noticed the same criticisms and concerns already voiced by K-netizens here and there but to have it expressed cohesively explains why K-ent doesn’t think Thirty Nine isn’t primed (for now) as … Continue reading →
A word of caution, don’t click on this post to see the pictures below if you don’t want to be spoiled on a really major plot point in the drama Thirty Nine.

K-viewers got a midweek treat this Wednesday with the arrival of jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Thirty Nine, adapted from a hit C-drama and with the female character led cast navigating the trials and tribulations of being on the cusp of forty years old.

Clearly female lead Son Ye Jin is all over the news right before her new drama Thirty Nine premieres on jTBC on February 16th but it doesn’t feel of promotion that she announced her marriage to Hyun Bin next month and more just squeezing in the break before the next job starts up. The drama has completed filming and will … Continue reading →
