Mar 21, 2022

JTBC has shared a new making video for “Thirty-Nine”!

“Thirty-Nine” stars Son Ye Jin, Jeon Mi Do, and Kim Ji Hyun as three friends who met in their second year of high school and are now on the verge of turning 40.

Son Ye Jin plays Cha Mi Jo, the head dermatologist of a clinic in Gangnam. Jeon Mi Do takes the role of Jung Chan Young, an acting teacher who previously dreamed of becoming an actress, and Kim Ji Hyun stars as Jang Joo Hee, a department store cosmetics manager.

At the start of the clip, Son Ye Jin, Jeon Mi Do, and Kim Ji Hyun are preparing to film a scene from the past, where Jung Chan Young is upset over failing yet another acting audition. Looking at the band-aid on her finger from her present day injury, Son Ye Jin comments, “I’ll have to say I hurt my hand in the past too.” Laughing, Kim Ji Hyun plays along and adds, “It’s just originally a hurt finger.” Son Ye Jin replies, “It’s going to hurt for the next 20 years.”

The trio decides to go for drinks to comfort Jung Chan Young, and as they film the scene walking out, Jeon Mi Do is the only one giggling to herself. After Son Ye Jin points her out, Jeon Mi Do explains, “I feel like a high school student.” Son Ye Jin jokes, “That’s why you failed your audition!”

Back in present day, the trio are gathered again, this time to celebrate Jung Chan Young passing an audition. When Lee Moo Saeng joins in on the celebrations with a bouquet of flowers, Kim Ji Hyun exclaims, “I thought you were a model!” Jeon Mi Do jokingly replies, “[You’re going to say that] to my man?”
