Sudden Adulthood
You'll eventually got hooked on the first episodes of this drama because it will give you two different scenarios, Yi-jin, a young man who needs to be a grown-up, and Hee-do, a dreamer who would not stop to achieve her fencing goal.The series talks about the carefree teenage life while someone is not prepared to be an adult yet. A so-called prodigy fencer who cannot go away from the slump and the other is a star but her career costs a fortune for someone who is not wealthy.
It is a great mix of different challenges since the Taeyang squad has their own battles. Overall I'm contented how this series end because it is just realistic between two lover whose career and priorities clashes.
I really recommend you to watch it, it gives another throwback drama!!!

Some loves aren't meant to be forever
This drama is definitely a mixed bag for me. For one, I loved the relationships between the characters, particularly the friendships, and I LOVED how they showed that this love is equally as important as romantic love. I'm a big friendship girlie, particularly female ones so this was such a treat. I won't be smack talking about the ending because I still don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, I definitely understand why they did it but I just felt like they shouldn't have left it for the last episodes and instead made it a bit more gradual. What I really didn't like was the dual timelines. Going from the 90s storyline to present time was jarring and I honestly felt that it took away from the "progress" we had in the 90s one, I honestly saw no need for it. Lastly, they introduced some ideas with Ji Seung Wan that weren't ever fully developed, which was a bit of a let down. Overall, I truly did enjoy the drama.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
BEST KDRAMA
Imdb rating for #TwentyFiveTwentyOne was almost 9 when it just ended in 2022."The "drama" was brilliant, the process was beautiful!"
Heartwrenchingly heart warming it is. That new millennium timeline was best used. Its a must watch. Although I do believe that sports & media personalities can easily be in a relationship but Na Hee do was a coward. I so want a season 2 of this show where I want her to be divorced.
YEJIN WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT in this show as well as Kim Tae RI. Highly recommended.

Life leaves us with unanswered questions but those either lead to reality or fiction
It was an excellent drama and some people will beg to differ because of the ending but I loved the drama including the ending. If you think of Na Hee Do and Baek Yi Jin as two lovers then this story's ending is not what you'd want but if you think of them as soulmates, the ending will hurt you but not as much because you'll know that no matter where they are, they'll always hold a place in each others' hearts.The story/plot was well made. It all started with a simple fencer and a bankrupt boy and it went on to talk about life, dreams ,adults, burdens, importance and to portray a relationship where in both lift each other up. The writers sure created a good story with all the crisis, emotions. Na Hee Do isn't a perfect character, she's a great fencer, stands up for herself, optimistic, but at the same time is impulsive and wears her heart on her sleeve.
On the contrast there is Baek Yi Jin, a boy whose family is bankrupt,having a hard time and promises people to never be happy and suffer the consequences of his father's actions. When the 2 worlds collide they create a balance, they cancel out each others' worst traits and give each other what they need - reality checks,hope, courage.
A couple who shares similar dynamics are Ji Woong and Ko Yu Rim. Ko Yu Rim, a gold medal fencer who constantly puts herself down, poor, hardworking but succumbs to pressure and power. For her there's Ji Woong, smart, optimistic and someone who likes her whole heartedly.
If I were to sum up this drama then it's beautiful, simple yet elegant. It'll give you nostalgia of the 90s but also remind you of the problems. It'll teach you important lessons straightforwardly yet it'll give you a good dose of happiness. I've loved this drama and it's definitely worth a watch.

A shitty ending
I don’t know why or how this drama got this much rating, after watching the last episode i thought may be the director gone mad in the last episodes. This drama gives a very bad message to the society that, the one who achieved something will forgets all the hardships and loved ones but expects only comfort in live even though it is immoral or unethical.There is no proper closure for the characters at all, even though the episodes are very lengthy but simply wasted time on unnecessary things without giving any proper clarity to characters at all.
Especially I hate FL character, she asks the ML that did he really loved her or not, even though after he helped and sacrificed that much for her, it is really disappointing to hear. I don’t know why in Korean dramas they portray FL’s in such bad fashion(I have seen in so many dramas). After telling so many hurtful things to ML she cried secretly and writes in her dairy that she didn’t mean that. I don’t know really what is the necessary of writing in dairy like that instead of comforting the one who got hurt by her.
The main message in this drama is “ the one who love you more will hurt you more” and treat you like a use and throw napkins.

It’s my Favorite Kdrama
Being a student myself i saw myself relating to most of the moments in this drama. If you’re a student I’d definitely recommend you to watch this drama, as it pretty much tick all the boxes at showing the many problems faced by students in their day to day life.Be it messed up relations with your teachers/ parents/friends, the academic pressure that a student faces in their school life or rather just being broke. It has all!
And if you’re not a student this drama will make you reminisce your school days so yep be sure to try it out.

I have to have 2521
Idek where to begin, but I just LOVE this drama. Probably the best I've seen this year. As yijin has said once that whenever heedo achieves smtg , he too wanna achieve smtg . I think that applies with me too. The moment she fullfilled her all tym desire, I wanted to achieve smtg too.Seeing her smile and Innocence , unknowingly I smile too.
Na heedo is my fav character in this drama and probably thus year too.
Anyone wanna experience some kind of feeling should watch this one. I hope it's not a sad ending .

Heart Warming, Unique and Refreshing
This is almost as full package of a drama you can ask for- from the cinematography, acting, ost, plot and everything in between can be described in one word EXCELLENT. It is light hearted but also while simultaneously highlighting several real life issues faced by the youth back in the 90sRemarkable chemistry between the 5 main characters, special props go to Nam Joo-Hyuk and Kim Tae-Ri. Their relationships and interactions set up the relaxation mood for the drama throughout. The writing's given all 5 of them enough emotional depth that none of them would feel like an afterthought.
This is still an ongoing drama but it is well on it's way to my favs list. It's very soothing, must watch imo.

„Let's suffer together when we're in pain. It's 100 times better than being lonely alone.“
Story of love and motivation.The amount of love I have towards this drama is unspeakable. The way this drama depicts should we escape from our youth or face it bravely is so impressing.
Twenty Five, Twenty One has attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign audiences.
With it's visuals, cinematography, many meaningful messages along with talented actresses and actors, who wouldn't be attracted?
Ever since it aired, people got curious who did Hee Do marry? What happened to the friend group? Where did everyone go? Do we get a happy ending?
With many theories, that even actors of the drama reacted to, we finally came to an end to this beautiful drama.
The series portrayed beautifully how there are long gaps of no growth and how growth resembles a staircase instead of a hill.
The amount of character development we've seen through these 16 episodes was so well written and so well put (Yurim best girl<3).
I was so impressed by their passions and empathy they had towards eachother in the drama, whether that would be between the main leads, side leads or just in general- the whole cast.
Their chemistry is out of this world.
The FL has an unique style and personality. Extremely loud, holds her ground, quite extroverted and a little bit clumsy while the ML is quiet, a big observator and tries his best to stay honest.
In this drama exists a very special friendship/relationship between Yi Jin, who was the unconditional support and Hee Do who was the source of motivation for Yi Jin to find his dream again.
The way they supported eachother through hardships was such a heartmelting thing to see.
“Seeing you work hard makes me want to work hard too. If you can do it, I want to do it too. Besides yourself, you also make others want to do well.” Yi Jin was always on Hee Do‘s side, due to that she had faith and strength to pursue her dreams.
I'm not going to get into spoilers and big details because I know new viewers and fans will come in and watch it, so I hope everyone has lots of fun watching this drama and theorising just like we did.
I'm so glad it got the hype and attention it deserved along with Bona and her cute girl group.
Happy watching to others, so glad we had lots of fun with this drama and it showed an immense talent of the whole cast.

The story is mind-blowing of this drama,the facts, concept,the 90s . Every thing, every moment of this drama is perfect but story is not set , i mean it is not designed correctely . I personally don't find the ending good .we the audiance had expected a lot more than this .I know that it explains about reality, but it doesn't hit like this . There is no twists nothing and even it doesn't even show the NA HEE DO'S HUSBAND FACE AT HE LAST.. But overall it's the BEST DRAMA I HAVE SEEN I MY 6YEAR EXPERIENCE.......

Shame of an ending.
I didn’t know Koreans were/are great at fencing and that it was even popular there?I’m just going to focus on the last two episodes since everyone knows that the first 14 episodes were great. Well, there were some ridiculous coincidences like Hee Do and Yu Rim turning out to be online chat buddies and Hee Do’s mom and her coach being old frienemies. Sigh…
Anyhow…. What happened to this show at the end? Did they change the writer for the last 2 episodes? Once Yi Jin, who was just a local news reporter and not a FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT!!!, was sent to New York, the story went down hill fast. I’m willing to overlook this small point to focus on something more grave.
I get that he was sad and depressed in New York but it was never really explained why he wanted to stay in New York. I get that the writer wanted them to break up but it was such a lame and cowardly way to force a break up. Especially, if Yi Jin was having such a hard time there but they want us to believe he wanted to stay in NY? To hide? Because he wasn’t thinking clearly? Then he came back after 6 months and tried to be wishy washy about breaking up???
When Hee Do lost her diary, I just knew it would somehow end up with Yi Jin. And, sure enough. Sigh…
I really hate that they ruined Yi-Jin’s character at the end without any meaningful explanation just to break them up. He was upbeat and he was a fighter. I get that the writer had a message in mind but this turn of event didn’t seem like it was planned well as if he was forced to change the way it happened at the end. I feel like this break up could’ve been more meaningful. Even till the end, the writer was holding us hostage while we were hoping they would get back together. Ugh… Oh, well. They just couldn’t leave well enough alone. What a shame.
So, everyone, your childhood friendship and love, really don’t mean much. Just move along.
K-drama writers love surprises that are not surprising. Not even remotely clever.
