I went into this drama because it's Kim Taeri's second drama and I always crave more content from her. Safe to say it was an absolute delight to watch her,she portrayed the character of Heedo so perfectly. The whole drama was a delight, up until ep 13. After that,things just went haywire gradually and it seemed like the writers didn't even know where the drama was going.
The drama depicts growing up and the responsibilities that come with it quite perfectly. Youth,friendships, first love,all nostalgic aspects portrayed beautifully. The characters, even though some Remain unlikable till the very end,all had some form of growth.
I don't understand how they messed up the last episode so royally...the characters' decisions just don't align with their personalities and how they have been throughout the drama. It feels like a sad ending just for the sake of it. It was also very abrupt and we don't even get to see what the ML is upto in the present.
Still,the actors and cinematographers all did a fantastic job worthy of praises. Nam joo hyuk has shown a lot of growth as an actor too and I hope to see him in better written projects in the future.

Different but very warm drama. Between the hyper girl and cool guy, comes the unique '90s vibes as well as the beautiful cinematography, coloring, and music to give us a great viewing experience. I hope it continues like this and I really expect that..
For some reason ..whenever I watch a new episode of Twenty Five Twenty One..I find myself checking how long I still have left till it ends..not because I'm bored ..but to see how much more of its goodness I still have time to enjoy..it's that precious!
A beautiful series with wholesome characters that deserve the world ! It fuels some nostalgia and makes you revisit those sentimental times of your first love.. It has one of the most gorgeous scenery..every frame feels like it's taken from a Ghibli movie!

I started this series just for Nam Jo-Hyuk but i became an instant fan of Kim Tae-Ri. She made the character of Hee-do come alive with her acting. The story looks promising and all the characters are great.
Some scenes will definitely make you tear up a little. Nam Jo-Hyuk is doing a great job at portraying Baek I-Jin's character.
Looking forward to what this story will develop into.
The series has officially ended and took a piece of my heart away with it.
Words cannot express the happiness, sadness, grief, and all the other emotions I have felt while watching this series. I laughed with these characters and I cried with them.
A perfect story in every possible way. All the characters are brought to life by these actors. I have loved Nam Jo-Hyuk for a considerable amount of time, but from now on he will be Baek I-Jin for me.
The last episode, though sad, was amazing in every respect. Baek I-Jin and Na Hee-Do will be each other's first love forever, and that in itself was beautiful. Hats off to the writer, director, actors, and the whole staff for making a drama as great as this one.
I will definitely recommend this drama to everyone.

This show was a bloody masterpiece - the characterisations, the aesthetics, the writing, the storytelling techniques... all of it was incredible. It's nostalgic and heartwarming yet portrays the mundane nature of reality and how youth simply drifts away, which I find to be the saddest portrayal of all. I cried throughout the entirety of the last episode. Genuienly beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable: I highly recommend everyone to watch Twenty-Five Twenty-One!
