Crash Landing on You star Sohn Ye-jin is preparing to make her comeback in upcoming JTBC drama Thirty, Nine. It’s all about a trio of women who are best friends. The drama delves into the deeper story about their friendship, romances, and lives as they approach the age of forty.
Sohn Ye-jin has been cast in the main role of Cha Mi-jo, the chief director of a dermatology clinic in Gangnam, who grew up in a well-to-do family. Previously, Jeon Mi-do (Hospital Playlist) confirmed that she will be playing one of Cha Mi-jo’s best friends: Jung Chan-young.
A drama about strong women with great careers sharing friendship? I’m totally in! Plus, Sohn Ye-jin and Jeon Mi-do are both amazingly talented actresses who are on the forefront of the Hallyu wave now. I can’t wait to see who they cast as the third in the trio (*crosses fingers* Ha Ji-won please).
Written by Yoo Young-ah (Boyfriend) and directed by Kim Sang-ho (Run On), realistic romance drama Thirty, Nine will be a 12-episode series. Filming is expected to begin in August after casting finishes.
