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!
The plots of both shows are very different BUT hear me out! I feel like they are both similarly very fast paced and never leave you bored. While the plot of both shows was nice, I truly think the cast and characters portrayed was what made these shows extremely entertaining. Personally, I thought both shows were bingeable and I would rewatch these shows, especially if I were feeling a kdrama slump.
