These 2 dramas both have a similarity, about 3 girls who were best friends, and their stories of their career, romance & friendship. "Thirty Nine" is a Korean drama whose characters were on the verge of becoming 40. While "Fabulous 30" is a Taiwanese drama whose characters were on the verge of becoming 30.

Both are longer Taiwan dramas full of multiple romance's and laughter. The feel is so similar I can only assume they are produced by the same company.

Also with 3 older ladies as the mc. 3 different personalities but they are able to help each other figure out each of their lives. A little different from Iron Ladies is that fact that the characters in Fabulous 30 get more involved in their friends' lives where as in Iron Ladies, it is more emotional support than physical actions.

similarities:
Both involve independent and very different young women living on the same floor of an apartment building. Together they face life's challenges and relationship struggles.

differences:
F3 had more comedic elements and a "cute" soundtrack while OtJ was more realistic; it incorporated arguments between the leads. Loyalty did not eliminate some tense disagreements.

similarities:
Both are extended slice-of-life, slow burn Taiwanese dramas that explore relationships between colleagues, friends and romantic interests.
Both show unrelated people helping to raise a young girl.
Both share comedic moments and some extreme characterization.

differences:
Leads...2F = 2 men, F3 = 3 women
Extended family...2F includes family of 1 romantic interest, F3's mother-in-law and spouse are integral
