Cha Mi Jo is the head dermatologist of a clinic in Gangnam. She is a warm character who grew up in a wealthy environment with a caring family and everything she could wish for.

Jung Chan Young dreamed of becoming an actress but ended up becoming an acting teacher instead. Although her way of speaking may seem blunt and harsh, the sincerity in her words makes her a character impossible to hate.

Jang Joo Hee is a department store cosmetics manager. Due to her timid personality, she has yet to really experience a romantic relationship.

These 2 dramas both have a similarity, about 3 girls who were best friends, and their stories of their career, romance & friendship. "Thirty Nine" is a Korean drama whose characters were on the verge of becoming 40. While "Fabulous 30" is a Taiwanese drama whose characters were on the verge of becoming 30.

Both Korean dramas tell the story of friendship between 3 girls and their stories of romance & career. The ages of "20th Century Boy and Girl" main female characters were 35 years old. While "Thirty Nine" were aged 39 (obviously).

Both romantic dramas centred around a group of women and their friendship. Ex girlfriend club revolves around a group of woman aiming to get revenge on their ex who in turn developed a friendship whilst thirty-nine shows the struggles of dealing with the loss of a best friend in a trio of women.

both have-
1. strong bonding among three female friends and they were connected since school days.
2. one friend is terminally ill.
3. three couples.
4. one friend is kinda timid and feels insecure in their friendship.
5. 39 has more subplots than NWABU.

Female centric drama about women in late 20s who will hit 30. Taught you age is only a number and it's totally okay if you're 30 and still not as successful as other people. Everyone has their own struggles and their pace! You will like it if you love watching slice of life drama. This drama is not only about dream, but also marriage life and single life. This drama was hit in mainland when it was airing.

A group of three girlfriends going through the ups and downs of life together. Both dramas show that having girlfriends is a bond of sisterhood where together, you can get through the toughest points of your life.

39 is very similar to Work later, Drink now, as they both have 3 female leads portrayed as best friends. In both shows you can see the romantic life of all three characters and also the struggles of the women in their friendship. While thirty nine definitely has a sad ending, both shows have amazing chemistry between the female leads and their respective romantic partners. I highly recommend either show if you are looking for a friendship heavy show with romantic side plots!
