Twenty Five Twenty One

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.

Amazing!!!! CANT wait for the next episodes. It has romance,motivation,friendship,funny scenes and it is set in the 90's..what else could u possibly ask for??Koreans did it again❕❕

Twenty-Five Twenty-One is one of those series that has tropes of other romantic K-Dramas, but is more concerned with characters and story revolving around them, rather than meet-cutes and overbearing romance.

Twenty-Five Twenty-One is a show About aspirations, conundrums that young people often face as they try and figure out who they are and what they want their life to be; the pressure to have certain ambitions and a life plan mapped out ahead of you.

Kim Tae Ri as Hee-Do was amazing as the main lead, comical yet mature at times, jolly yet serious about her ambition. That makes her a well written character. Although I do think that there should have been more backstory for Baek Yi Jin since he is the male lead and we heard a number of times about his part, but didn't actually encountered even once.

The story was well developed, even with the supporting characters and the constant shift between in the chronology was well maintained. Twenty Five Twenty One is a show that combines many elements such as romance, drama with comedy but above all a coming-of-age story. It's a story of youth that sees life in various colours and makes us believe that certain things may not be forever, but it should be enjoyed until it lasts..

My Rating : 9.5/10.

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!

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..
