Netflix K-drama Thirty-Nine: Son Ye-jin leads Korean spin on Sex and the City, a series more frank about sex than earlier Korean dramas

• Thirty-Nine follows three single professional women living in Seoul, the South Korean capital, who are lifelong friends and all approaching 40
• Like Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, Son Ye-jin’s character, Cha Mi-jo, narrates the series with levity and wistful nostalgia
