The K-drama Thirty-Nine may look like a typical romance, but for director Kim Sang-ho, it is much more meaningful.

“Many people in South Korea believe the age of 39 is a little special. I think 39 is a bit too early to have something special accomplished, but too late to start something new. The drama mainly presents a trio of best friends and their romance on the brink of turning 40, but it is more about how their lives develop with lovers, families and relatives,” Kim said during an online press conference on Wednesday (Feb 16).
