Douăzeci și Cinci, Douăzeci și Unu (2022)

A dor e a delícia de 2521!

A história é profunda, intensa e muito bem construída ao longo dos episódios. Você acompanha de perto toda a evolução e amadurecimento de cada um dos personagens, mais do que isso, você se vê torcendo e vibrando por cada conquista, cada momento de felicidade deles e claro, chorando, ou no mínimo, com o coração apertado por cada decepção que lhes acontece. O drama foi perfeito em vários aspectos, como: caracterização, passagem de tempo, fotografia, OST, atuação, construção de personagens, o realismo e capricho no roteiro - destaque para a ideia de desenvolver o enredo através do diário da Na Hee Do. Enquanto assistíamos, era como se nós estivéssemos lendo este diário. O otimismo de Na Hee Do, a resiliência de Baek Yi Jin, a perseverança de Go Yu Rim, a coragem de Ji Seung Wan e a obstinação de Moon Ji Woong, são qualidades e lições que sempre me lembrarei. ?

Mas e o final?

Sim, eu também fiquei inconformada e triste (mesmo sabendo desta possibilidade desde o início). Tem um lado meu que diz: Incrível, provavalmente na vida real este seria mesmo o destino de Na Hee Do e Baek Yi Jin, e por essa perspectiva, a roteirista e o diretor foram brilhantes. Nos mostraram com maestria o que muitas vezes acontece nesta fase da vida, a distância de amigos e relacionamentos que até então achávamos que seriam eternos. Mas queríamos este final? Não! Queríamos e merecíamos um final fantástico para esses personagens após tantos obstáculos. Então doeu... Eu termino essa resenha com um sentimento agridoce. Foram 15 episódios fantásticos, um dorama que passa muitas mensagens lindas e um final difícil de assimilar, um final que para sempre será lembrado com um aperto no coração. Quem é o pai de Choi Myung Bin? O que aconteceu, e como está Baek Yi Jin nos dias de hoje?Infelizmente as repostas para essas perguntas, assim como o nosso sonhado final "feliz", ficarão apenas na nossa imaginação!

I loved it, but…

This was a great show but I felt they left a lot on the table. There is still more story to tell imo, especially in the present day setting.

It’s interesting that the ML gave up on their relationship , whereas the 2ML did not give up his relationship with the 2FL. The contrast between their two decisions could have been addressed more. The ML didn’t have to take the job in NYC. They should have stressed that career move was essentially and he had no real choice but to stay there. Him staying in NYC just felt like a plot device over a logical decision.

I’d love to know more about the FL’s father. Did he divorce the mother b/c he found out the FL settled for him and never fell out of love with the ML?

Why does the daughter know nothing about her mother’s childhood friends? It would have been interesting to see the daughter try to reunite the old gang for her mother.

Again, a great show, but this is a show that probably needed four more episodes.

BEST SHOW EVER

i love this show so much ive rewatched it and sobbed just as much, its literally such a good show, i will never forget this show because its sooo gooodd

the ost is incredible too like its just so peaceful but works with the show as well, as well as also being great music to listen to in free time ??

i would recommend 2521 to anyone because its child friendly as well, and its just such a sweet story.

although the main storyline is romance, there are many other parts of the show that can make the show more interesting for those who may not be the biggest fam of love stories/romance

overall such a good show and would recommend to anyone because i know youll like it ??

We are lovers in the good times and burden to each other in the bad times

2521 is one of the most beautiful dramas I have ever watched

I am fully convinced it is incomplete
I’ll tell you why

I admit wholeheartedly that it was a wonderful, amazing show that made me feel a lot of thing I didn't know I could feel, love, hate, annoyance and a sense of longing..? if that is the right word? all the actors were amazing and obviously I had a big crush on Nam Joo Hyuk when I started the show so I have no complaints there

the only problem I had was with the plot, it was a well written plot, complex and well thought out [kudos to the writer-nim because phew!] and so complex, all the characters going through so many complex emotions at the same time and the portrayal of that was great, You get the sense of the emotion of freedom and also fear that all of them were going through in their early 20's in the first few episodes, not ready to grow up but forced to make do with where they are, and that's what i'm saying. the writing was so good until the 13th episode, everything was going wonderfully. then for some reason everything changed in the 14th episode

all the emotions started changing, from freedom and uncertainty it went to differences in personalities and causing the characters to not understand each other anymore, and the ending did not make sense at all because; why would they spend so much time telling us that Na Hee Do's DAUGHTER was reading her diary if they weren't going to give us a "fix-it" scene in the ending?

The ending seems too abrupt, like we see the ending where they just split way and then Baek Yijin just goes of to New York—
then what? then nothing? I feel like the writer was trying to bring about a feeling like, "they split ways here and then many years later Na Hee Do's daughter starts finding out about her mother's past and starts searching for her mother's old boyfriend and then she brings them together" and I feel like before that last episode we should gotten a scene with older Na Hee Do and Baek Yijin where they come together as mature adults, and spend some time talking to each other, give each other another chance and work through their conflicting emotions before giving it another shot, that would have made more sense since Min Chae’s father (Na Hee Do’s husband) seems to be a really out-of-the-picture person

That would have been a more fulfilling ending
In my opinion.

I'm not usually like this when I watch dramas I assure you [....god i wrote a lot...] [I actually wrote this as a message to my cousin ?]

it's just 2521 was such an interesting drama and I loved it a lot, it deserved more from it's finale considering how good it was

My drama of the Year

╭⸻⸻╮
Last time in the K-drama study, I talked about Joy's decent drama Once Upon a Small Town. Today I'll be telling you my drama of the year, which took over my whole year. I'll also be talking about my drama journey of 2022 and what I'll be checking out next year. I'm excited to announce the drama that took over my year since it took me a while to pick it up. Now let's jump into the post.
╰⸻⸻╯


Drama Journey 2022:
January started the year with me finishing up the drama Snowdrop which was still airing since it came out last year in December. By February, I started watching Twenty-five Twenty-one and Business Proposal, the first new drama of 2022 for me to watch. Of the two, Twenty-five Twenty-one was more attractive with its story. May was the first month I took a break from watching dramas while waiting for Café Minamdang to start airing, but I will say I didn't enjoy watching it much. July picked things back with Today's webtoon began airing as Café Minamdang was still airing. I fell in love with Today's Webtoon as Sejeong played her character wonderfully. Now with Café Minamdang ending, September came around with Today's Webtoon coming to a close and Once Upon a Small Town which aired three episodes a week until it ended at the end of September.

Drama of the Year:
Todays, Webtoon and Twenty-Five Twenty-One both battled it out for Drama of the year. After listening to OSTS, watching clips, and reading the two blogs I created. It was challenging picking the year's drama since both dramas were enjoyable. So now, after thinking about it for a while, the show that took over my 2022 was Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Twenty-Five Twenty-One took over my year because of the story and characters. I loved the female lead Na Hee-do who made me continue watching the show. The characters in this show kept making this show even better. One moment I enjoyed was watching the Fencing moments, which kept things interesting. This coming-of-age story was a fun one to watch as we got to see the characters grow up. The OSTs helped bring the show to life, as I always listened to them. I'm glad Twenty-Five Twenty-One took over my year, as it was one of my favorite shows this year.

Shows I'm checking out next year:
A Time Called You (Thriller, Mystery, Romance, Fantasy drama is supposed to air next year, but there is no release date for the show, so I have to keep my eye out for it. However, the story made me want to check it out, so when it drops, I'll be checking it out and reviewing it for you guys.)

»»————- ————-««

Ask The Start (Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi) doesn't have a release date yet, so I need to keep an eye out for that, but Lee Min Ho and the Story made me want t check this show out. I'm hoping this rom-com is enjoyable since there are supposed to be sci-fi elements thrown into the drama. So once this show comes out, I['ll start taking notes so I can review it once it ends.)

»»————- ————-««

Joseon Lawyer (Historical, Law, Romance, Drama is coming out on March 17th of next year and will be the next show for me t write a review. After enjoying Bona in Twenty-Five Twenty-One, I'd like to see how she will do in a Historical drama. I'm a big fan of Historical dramas, but I'm giving this one a try to see if that genre will grow on me.)

»»————- ————-««

Uncanny Counter season 2 (The sequel to the popular drama Uncanny Counter might be dropping next year, so I have to keep my eye out for it since I'm excited to see what they will do with the Sequal. I enjoyed the original drama as it had a few moments that could've improved. I'm hoping it improves the show a little bit, but I'll have to see whenever it comes out)

╭⸻⸻╮
Thanks, everyone, for reading my drama reviews for 2022. I'm excited to deliver some new ones for you in 2023. I can't wait to hear all the beautiful OSTs that dramas will bring to the table. I'd like to see which drama takes of my 2023 as I'll be doing this end-of-the-year drama blog again. If no new drama drops in January or February that I want to watch, I'll see you all. After watching Joseon Lawyer, which starts Bona. Have a great rest of your day; this has been the K-drama Study for 2022. See you all next year.

one of the best ever dramas made

ep16:

no tears were left at the end of ep16. incredibly talented the writer to have us smiling for the future them after having us bawling in the beginning, the end and everywhere in between with their past goodbyes.

well, that was indeed a journey. the friendship is literally the best part of it. hee do's friendship with yijin , with yurim and the rest. each different, each special.

although a part of me wanted to know what the rest of them where doing in the present day, and maybe see a glimpse of minchae's father - but really, that's a different story to tell. a different chapter in life. 2521 was their best of youth.

is it only me

I've seen 6 episodes so far... I loathe Ko Yu Rim so much. Like I don't really get why exactly she hates Na Hee Do. It is so ughhhhhh. Like I don't really get why exactly is she so against Na Hee Do and What it has to do with Na Hee Do. Like she is Na Hee Do's Online friend but she acts like the bitchest Bitch in real life with her it gets on my nerves so much that's all

*ahahwiwlbskxndkxnbwhwjeheiwowundnfjfjfnfhfjfjfieowjehbdmdkwowueurhtbgngkjvjfjfjdieowowiehfbfnfnnfvnnvnvnvmvmvkvkvooriwhwhsbdbfbfnfnvnnvngngjgjfjeoowiwurhfbvjfmfmcmnfjfjfjfjfjfjrjqopwuwuehrhfjdshekwjwimwndbfiepqhebdkd*

Regardless of the ending, it's still worth a watch

Though I marked it as 'contains spoilers' here is a relatively spoiler free review for people that wanted to watch the show when it finished airing but are now hesitant after seeing the reactions to episode 16. I used the word 'relatively' because even though I'm not saying what happened, the words I use make it easy to figure out the ending.

This show is beautiful, it really is. The way they portrayed sportsmanship, relationships and friendships were everything. I found myself crying to scenes that weren't necessarily sad because the actors did a really good job at making me feel a million different emotions. Let's not forget the fact that there are so many hilarious scenes and great character development.
If you want your heart to not feel like a hollow shell, it's best you stop watching by episode 14. It's really not about a sad or happy ending but rather a really rushed one. They could've cut out some scenes and explained a bit more on why things turned out the way they did but unfortunately they didn't. It definitely is worth a watch but if an ending makes or breaks a show for you, it's best to pretend the show ends in episode 14. I'm sure you saw the word realistic being thrown around whenever anyone mentioned the ending and I love realistic shows...just not when it's done like this.

A story of a youthful journey that was truly perfect

Wow. I'm writing this review just moments after finishing this series and I am still in shock about how much of an emotional rollercoaster this drama was. I started this drama when it was airing but had stopped and set to catch up later which is what I've done as of the date I'm writing this and honestly, starting this drama and watching this whole drama is an unforgettable experience that I know i will remember, It was truly a breath of fresh air and it had it all, there were scenes where I was laughing so hard and other scenes where I was sobbing so hard I can barely read the subtitles due to the tears in my eyes, It was so perfect from start to finish with a lovable cast. I was able to form a connection with every character and truly fell in love, the cinematography was absolutely perfect and honestly as many people on here would like to debate, the ending was perfect in my opinion. It was a slice of life show that was able to give me a different perspective on sports and honestly I've seen a lot fo sports-based shows but this show showed sports in a whole different perspective, coming from someone who doesn't have a drop of being 'sporty' and has always had a dislike towards sports, I was able to enjoy and love this. I can often grow hesitant with sports-based shows due to the fact I can't fully relate and feel as though it is outside my interest and that there's a possibility I wouldn't be able to relate however, I was able to relate with each characters which is why I was able to form connections, It was a slice of life show that was able to be a true youthful adventure that I felt like I was apart of, even though I'm a viewer of this fictional story that is unfolding I was so engaged that I felt apart of it and that's how I know this show was perfect. Honestly, it has probably become one of my top dramas I've seen this year, if anyone is reading this review debating whether to watch this or not, give it a try. It's truly an unforgettable experience.
