A story of three female friends who are 41 years old.

Gu Ju-Young (Han Hye-Jin) works as a planning manager at an art center which displays high-quality performances. She seems to have a perfect life in both her personal and business life. In fact, she endures pain while trying to have a baby with her asexual husband.

Lee Il-Ri (Jin Seo-Yeon) is single and works as a deputy editor-in-chief for a fashion magazine. She started her career as a fashion editor and has worked her way up to deputy editor-in-chief. She still holds a fantasy about marriage, a dream that she hasn't yet achieved.

Bea Mar 05 2026 5:06 am Watched this with a light heart thinking that it would be some silly light drama but i wasnt ready for how deep and heavy of a drama this series is! considering it is labeled as comedy. Sure, there are comedic scenes but the more it progresses, the more serious the conflict gets. All of the female leads' stories are commendable. They all have their dilemma and even if they are trying to deal with it on their own, they still always find each other comforting and sharing their stories together. Their friendship is one of the best in the kdrama world, one that would make ypu jealous of. They are also blessed with good husbands who will always be by their side. I'm also glad that there's not much conflict with their own families (esp. parents), and just mostly external factors. Because at the end of the day, our own family are our source of strength.

Also, kim hee seon's husband here is so handsome!! ^^

Kleida Dec 28 2025 3:31 am I like this drama. Every woman has her own story and fights for her happiness.

Olya_1004 Dec 05 2025 1:30 am I am actually enjoying this drama more than I expected. Seeing so many different women and their perspectives and personalities while dealing with their issues is quite interesting.

The men in this show definitely need a bit more work,except Sang Gyu they are all a bit odd and main leads husband is such an ass. I am a bit confused why the synopsis of the drama mentions that Gu Ju Young's husband is Asexual though? If that's the case, we're in episode 8 now and I just started it so not sure if it's going to be discussed here, but it seems we are meant to be guessing what's going on with him when I fully expected her to be aware of his asexuality from the start.

Overall I would recommend this drama to women heading into the period of their lives where they are building their careers or trying to build a family all while dealing with aging and being overlooked by others.

Do Do Nov 25 2025 2:54 pm Han hye-jin is still super pretty at 44

TDS Nov 25 2025 12:29 pm Except for Lee Il-Ri the other two ladies men are strange. Maybe should wait to hear their story????

Mi mi mi Nov 18 2025 3:46 pm If you do not love your wife Divorce her Rather than go around cheating as if it's a cure for losing touch of your marriage The plain answer is to get a divorce

knbp Nov 17 2025 8:32 am I can't wait for this one looks so interesting I hope it will be good !
