    Not Perfect, But Still A Good Watch

    No flaws in acting. One of the pleasant surprises for me us that of Lee Moo-saeng, who played a most unlikeable husband in One Spring Night. Here he portrayed an earnest, sincere, love-sick boyfriend who stuck by his girlfriend even after she was long gone.

    This is about the friendship of 3 women, and the soulmate-relationship between 2 of them. It is a journey of the last year of Chan-yeong and how her relationship with Mi-jo and Joo-hul strengthened given the suddenly limited time. While the whole story revolves around the 3, it is also about the different relationships they have outside: with parents, partners, siblings.

    My only criticism about this series is that there are way too many relationships under-developed and forced into the picture that they were better off un-introduced, such as Seon-woo's adopted sister, Seon-woo's father.

    The romantic angles were also under-developed as the writer seemed to have a difficult time balancing the development of the romantic relationships with the pain of the pending loss of a friend to cancer.

    Far from perfect, but still a good watch.

    Story of Life and Friendship

    This is a good show. They have done a great job of potraying stories of adults in their late 30's and the growth, heartbreak, love, life, goals and everything in between.

    The chemistry between all the lead actor's is amazing with good and solid performances from everyone. You feel like you are being taken on a journey and laugh and cry with them along with understanding them. I applaud this show for tackling some heavy issues in a very heartfelt and realistic way.

    Awesome

    I have never seen a line-up of reviews with tens in a row except for the snore-fest. But that's unfortunate.

    Sometimes, not often, we find a gem in Netflix, these days the gems come most often from K-drama. This one, is surely a gem. From every angle, it shines, from the acting, from the script, from the story, from the dynamics of the three friends, from the human-interest, I think you get my meaning. Those three friends, the camaraderie,, the banter, the jesting, the kidding, the ribbing, everything about them rings so true and so perfect. You forget you are watching a movie, you feel like you are eavesdropping on these friends, the script, the lines are so well written, so natural, true to life, the way those girls bring the lines from pages to the story, is superb. This is exactly the way three close friends interact.

    Hollywood has not given us anything close to this kind of spectacular human interaction movie in decades. The closes I can think of is Sleepless in Seattle. These day, Hollywood banks on their ace actors, Top Gun, Independence Day, Monkey men, action heroes, Marvel characters, Spiderman, Ironman, Batman, Superman, etc. When was the last time we had a movie from Hollywood that tug at our heart-strings, make us tear up? You get all these from K-dramas.

    If you want an example, check this out, and don't wake up snore-fest from his sleep.

    It's a great drama!

    Very worth to watch. The chemistry among The 39 Besties (Cha Mi-jo, Jeong Chang-young and Jang Joo-hee) is undeniable. It has mix emotions in it. The storyline, actings and messages are delivered perfectly!

    Great Drama!

    The storyline, actings and messages are delivered perfectly! The scene where Son Ye Jin (Dr. Cha Mi Jo) cries on the last scene of Episode 2 broke my heart sooo bad... I luv the chemistry among The 39 Besties also. It's very worth to watch!
