The first teaser trailer is out and all I can say is there are very few shows that can manage to show massive potential from the trailer alone — and this is one of them. If slice of life is your type of genre, 39 seems like it will give you the whole damn cake.
I wouldn't say perfect, but that's okay since it's the first time Korea has produced a series of this kind. The only thing I didn't like (plot-wise) was the ending. I feel like they left it too open for the sake of a second season and with too many questions unanswered. There was barely any closure for the remaining characters so I didn't feel like it actually "ended'.
She is not a model/actress in the show. She makes clothes. Would you wear fancy clothes at your workplace.
You know what, we're just like this story. We keep going around the same circles yet you still get nothing, so I'm gonna drop you before I drop this drama. Bye.

Who said she had to spend millions for an outfit? And mind you, the price of her garments might actually surpass a million dollars if you look them up including the hermes and fendi bags she used. I was talking about the STYLING and the impression it gives. More stylish choices could have been made with the same budget. And the scholarship you say? Wasn't that ten years ago? Shouldn't her character have made some profit by now if she was really the hot shot designer? If they were so eager to make her look like an office worker, then they should have made that as her character instead of a fashion designer.

As @Clarywayland20 said, fashion designers are stylish regardless of the occassion because they dress to represent their brands. It rings true in both real life and art, because it helps build credibility especially if you work in fashion. Why would you wear "comfortable clothes" when you're trying to make a name in the clothing line business? And in high fashion even!Try to look up any fashion designer in a public setting, and chances are slim to none for you to find anyone dressed in a low profile because that just wouldn't make any sense. It's like telling me you design all the Air Jordans for Nike but all you wear are standard running shoes.

This is another confusing part of the show.
Young Eun claims to not have a lot of money, but is also an experienced Head Designer (who studied in Paris!), who has her own brand, and lives in an upscale apartment in Seoul. Her resume tells me she's not poor, but her wardrobe doesn't really live up to someone of her profession. So which is which? Is she not really the hot shot designer they're making her out to be? Or did her styling team fall short in matching her attires to her status?
I think people are a lot fixated on the acting which to be honest is not really good, the story here is quite…
I see the side stories but I don't think they're properly handled. A side story can be compelling if they're tackled separately as a means to justify the side character's personality, show where they're coming from or give them closure. I feel like they only got to do that with Mi Suk then everyone else are just there to highlight or be fillers to Jae Guk and Young Eun's story. Like the SFL, she was really hard to stomach during the first half because it seems like her character was only written to make the FL look good and responsible. Then now they brought in the mothers and the ex fiance. What's their motivation? Why are they so bothered by soo wan's relationship with young eun even ten years later? There's barely any development for the side characters which I think is why they're hardly likeable.
Both mothers are annoying, but I cannot stand FL’s mother because she jumps into conclusion without asking and…
I'm asian too and I agree. Parents don't intervene that much anymore and even when they do, we don't bend to what they say that easily especially for those of Young Eun and Jae Guk's ages. My own grandmother even fled with my grandfather when their parents refused of their relationship. Asians know how to fight for love and I don't know why they're dying to break up in this drama!!
was initially looking forward to this. But after seeing screenshots of the FL on IG, I can't help but comment…
Same here! Usually in articles from soompi or koalasplayground they include a collage of several screenshots and the FL would have single expression in about 90% of them. Her eye brows barely move even when she's crying or frowning. Like a blank canvas but with cherry lips and constantly teary eyes.
It's getting harder and harder to root for the main couple with every episode. I'm well aware that i'm watching a melodrama so don't use that excuse against me because melodramas don't have to be sad and angsty a hundred percent of the time! I just don't see why JG and YE still stay with each other at this point. Their "fated" love felt rather forced to me. The dead brother thing is ridiculous (not even icky because it happens!!!) and making him a cheater just made it worse. The interfering family members are effin ANNOYING! It's 2021! She gets bossed around at work then she gets bossed around by her family too?! I was promised a female heroine, where is she??? To whoever wrote this script, if you want a couple that the audience would root for, then give them something that would make them want to stay in that relationship. It's as if all they could get out of each other is pain and who would want to be in a relationship like that? Especially for characters in their age, it's ridiculous. Give the characters some redemption! Give us some moments where they actually enjoy each other's company, like any secure steady couple would and be each other's safe space (AND NO! Staring at each other with the world around them going slow is not swoony). We're already at ep 11 for crying out loud and the story's still goin in circles trying to milk every possible way to make them look like star-crossed lovers in a setting that is too melodramatic than it should be.
