    The sweet and refreshing representation of young love

    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!

    Growing pains but the ending will leave you unsatisfied

    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.

    Soothing, Refreshing, Inspiring, Life's struggling

    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.
