Twenty Five Twenty One

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.

A young girl tired of learning ballet and angry with her mother goes to stay with her grandmother and whilst there she begins to read her mothers diaries from her youth. Her mother was a successful fencer who competed in the olympics and the main core of the series is her mothers rise and her relationships with those around her. It is an interesting story where whilst pursuing her fencing career she is estranged from her mother and is attracted to a man four years her senior who's parents have gone bankrupt and he is struggling both financially and emotionally. Initially they help each other as friends and provide each other strength and support for them both to do well but overtime the feelings become much deeper. Lots of interesting side characters and the secondary story of the daughter realising the struggles and heartbreak her mother went through is well done as most children forget that their parents were once young and irresponsible. A really enjoyable series which is well directed paced and superbly acted by the entire cast.

What else do u need to watch a drama !? This series a full package of everything u want!! And the cinematography of this series is extra plus point which make me hooked up with this series!! The starting of this drama was in a unusual way which was interesting to draw our attention..then the plot was totally like boom... this is what u were waiting for to watch!!

Beck Yi Jin's struggles between dropping dream and choosing responsibility and Na Hee Do's determination for her game and the friendship of 5 struggling students in their early 20 nothing could be more better than this amazing plot !! After a long time Netflix brought us something worthy of watching

Enjoy watching 25/21.

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❕❕

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!
