Among the three, she seems to be the most successful; however, she thinks that something is still missing in her life.

Her lifelong dream is to become an actress, but she ends up as an acting teacher.

Capping off the lead stars is Kim Ji Hyun, who plays the department store cosmetics manager, Jang Joo Hee, and the group's introvert, making it hard for her to go on a date.

Not only did "Thirty-Nine" have stellar lead stars, but it also boasts a roster of talented supporting actors, which includes Lee Moo Saeng, Yeon Woo Jin, Lee Tae Hwan and more.
