K-Drama Thirty Nine (서른, 아홉) Ep.02

May 15, 2022 by greysuitcase in K-Drama Recommendation, Review

Episode two continues with more developments and growing conflicts between the characters. The introduction of the additional supporting characters were also done in this episode where Hyeon-Jun’s (the chef) girlfriend, Mi-jo’s parents and Seon-U’s sister (Kim So-Won) made their appearances.

Starting the episode with Mi-jo and Seon-U’s unexpected connection through work that puts the two of them in a slightly awkward position, Chan-young trying to end the relationship she has with Jin-Seok, Joo-hee’s attraction to the chef that’s quickly squashed by the arrival of his girlfriend, Mi-jo’s struggle with panic attack revelation, Seon-u and So-won’s family problems and ending it with Mi-jo finding out that Chan-young has stage four cancer, this episode definitely doesn’t lack in the conflict department. The tone of this episode is also slightly more somber than the previous episode, although there are still comedic reliefs that are peppered throughout the story that help lifting the mood up a little.

A couple of slightly happier parts were probably the opening scene where the three women were discussing about Chan-young’s recent eyeliner purchase (which I certainly can relate to), Chan-young teasing Mi-jo about Seon-U after Mi-jo told her the story, Seon-U’s drunken, whiny (and slightly adorable) confession to Mi-jo and Mi-jo’s close relationship with her family.

There’s also seems to be more to the story behind Jin-seok’s marriage which I’m curious to find out. My current theories are either the wife blackmailed Jin-seok to marry her or she purposefully get herself pregnant so Jin-seok will marry her. But we’ll see if any of my guesses is right.

Looking at the ending of this episode, I have a feeling that things will go south or at least become sadder from this point forward. I’m hoping it' won’t be too sad, but we’ll see.
