Douăzeci și Cinci, Douăzeci și Unu (2022)

um dorama querido...

Deixando de lados todas as problemáticas (rsrsrs) é um dos doramas mais queridos que vi nos últimos tempos, não sei se foi a atuação da kim taeri que deixou tudo mais saboroso mas sei que cada episódio foi bom igual (ou melhor) ao anterior, é um dorama que dá pra ver com calma(pq é longo vius)! O desenvolvimento do círculo social da protagonista foi tão engraçadinho de ver, é daqueles doramas que você ama tanto as amizades e os secundários que as vezes até esquece o casal principal(não de um modo ruim). E por falar do casal... terminei ontem e ainda não tenho uma conclusão sobre... só sei que mesmo com qualquer final eu não teria me arrependido de ter visto tudo!!! Recomendo muito, foi uma delícia de assistir e já sinto saudade.

Watch this drama asap

So I watched the show while it was airing and only now am writing a review? Seems odd but I had to. I was unable to think about this drama without crying for a long time so I needed the time to calm down and piece my thoughts together. So here I am, finally reviewing my favourite show of all time.
Story:
This drama is incredibly well written and every thing that happens makes sense in the world of 2521. HeeDo and YiJin are our female and male leads, both having different backgrounds and ways of thinking about the world. They mirror and oppose each other perfectly. The story is that in the future, HeeDos daughter is looking back at her moms past through her diaries. We see HeeDo as she meets YiJin, as she works incredibly hard to get where she wants to go. But the drama does give us YiJin solo moments so we as the viewers know things that HeeDo does not but also are given the chance to connect with YiJin as he works to rebuild his family. I also want to clarify the age thing. HeeDo, in Korean age , is an adult when we first meet her. She is 18 Korean age so she is an adult. They don't begin to date until she is 19/20(I can't quite remember) Korean age but she was always an adult. Plus the friendships in this drama were so sweet and wholesome

Acting:
Phenomenal on all fronts, each of them did an excellent job. No complaints.

Soundtrack:
I already preordered the ost, need I say more?

Rewatchability:
For me, never. This drama tore my heart out and I can't watch it again but for you, who probably won't sob for 30 minutes after watching the final episode like I did, it is definitely rewatchable.

Overall:
Please watch this. It is so good

Twenty Five Twenty One is my first true experience in the realm of K-Dramas and I could not have asked for a better start. This show has delivered in many more aspects than I could have ever dreamed. The simpleness of the story, but the rawness of the actors brings together a spectacular slice of life series.

At first I did not like the main lead Na Hee-Do as I felt she was a bit too over the top, but as time went on slowly but surely I started to relate with her and see my own self in her character. Her experience with being an individual with great potential but not acting on it slowly turned into just another talented person that could have been something special. She never backed down from anyone and always stood her ground believing in what she thought was correct so no matter if you like her or not, you would always respect Na Hee-Do.

The maturity shown in this series was refreshing. Even though most of the cast was teenage to twenty years old, they really behaved in such a sophisticated manner. Never taking anything personally no matter how harsh they must have felt it to be, they always thought that there must have been a reason behind it. This speaks volumes to real life in the sense that if you love someone but do not agree with their decisions do you really love that person whole? People do things in life that will benefit them as we are all selfish beings, so why is it that we are always so surprised when it happens directly to us? We think we are special and therefore we should not be betrayed to an extent, but in the other person's brain, it is not betrayal, it is simply making the best decision for themselves.

A compact 16 episodes really tells this story in full. I do not feel like it dragged, or even went on longer than it should have. It was enough… just like friendship and relationships are. Though it might not be as long as you might have hoped, without that person or persons, could you really say you would be the person you are today? So in that sense, was it not worth it?

I feel as though Na Hee-Do’s mothers character is one that can garner some intense views, but personally as harsh as she was I do agree with her. I believe Na Hee-Do would not be the champion she became without the strong womanly presence her mother brought to her. Tough love is not always agreed upon, but it is how I was raised and I thank my mother as well for that. It brings true strength. This one line from her mother encapsulates her character in a whole “ It is not my job to congratulate you, it is to make you worthy of congratulations``. She loves her daughter as most mothers do, but feels that praising her daughter will make her be content with her standing so she does the opposite and never praises her. Forever leaving Na Hee-Do to be in a constant state of trying to win her mothers approval while at the same time bettering herself in the process.

This show is a constant tearjerker especially during the controversial final between the two main women. Seeing Na Hee-Do get comforted in the restaurant by those old men telling her that she truly did win was a fantastic portrayal of grief being overcome. Till then, no one has really congratulated her, not even her mother. Seeing the love she received in the most unlikely of places was beautiful. If that was not enough, we also see that the main male got in contact with the referee and convinced him to get a piece of his opinion on the action. This show is perfect as showing all sides, it brings up a problem and tackles it in such unique ways from all different angles. The relationship between pretty boy and Ko Yu-Rim is also moving extremely slowly but perfectly in the context of the story. Also one of the aspects I love about K-Dramas is how they portray love in such an innocent way. It all starts as friends first and slowly moves further and further as we see both characters are in love but too shy to express it in their own ways.

One of my favorite scenes in this drama is when Ko Yu-Rim is singing and later jumps into the pool. Na Hee-Do is there to watch all this and as much as she might believe she hates Ko Yu-Rim, you could see the worrisome nature in her face seeing the jump. She was genuinely fearful because as much as she might see her as a rival, she still respects her as an individual and a person. The music, the tense but relaxing atmosphere, the sight of Ko Yu-Rim being in her feelings and showing emotion made this scene absolutely unforgettable to me. Both these women are broken, yet found the solitude in fencing. As much as they compete, they do not yet know they are the exact same person. Twins born of different parents even. The next scene is the two women messaging on the chat board yet unknowing that they are speaking to each other. Truly a prophetic moment, two girls with everything in their hands and the world at their fingertips, yet at the end of each day, all they can do is go and message the one person that has been there throughout everything. The one person that they have not even seen in person yet trusts them with all their hard difficulties.

I also love the scene where Na Hee-Do hears two women in the washroom gossiping about Ko Yu-Rim and her family situation. It is at that moment where she takes charge and goes into the stall and attempts to beat up the two girls in protection of Ko Yu-Rim. This is one of the true moments we see Ko Yu-Rim and Na Hee-Do work together and it felt absolutely fantastic to see. Ko Yu-Rim had always disliked Na Hee-Do but after learning that she was the one Ko Yu-Rim was talking to, she does a complete 180 and realizes all of her past mistakes which takes a truly grown person to do. The actress that plays Ko Yu-Rim has great facial emotions. Whenever she is in a sad scene, it really makes the viewer feel exactly what it is that she is feeling. You just can't help but want to give her a hug and tell her everything will be alright.

Seeing the two embrace each other after Ko Yu-Rim confesses she is the online friend is so heartwarming. I just could not help but smile the entire time through. The two girls finally found their platonic soulmate and it is beautiful to see. All that hatred and all that anger at one another just vanishes and it turns to embrace and lovingness.

The second last episode was absolutely heart wrenching especially towards the end. Seeing the differing situations between Yi-Jin and Hee-Do was just setting this show up for a sad finale. Growing up is an occurrence that no one can ever help. You can not ever beat time. We should have known that this would eventually happen to the couple that fell in love so young, but we just never learn as humans. Relationships between humans are the most difficult thing to work out because of them having two fully functioning people. Two smart and in different mind stated individuals.

No one was simply to blame in this couple's ending, if anything it was simply the cards they were dealt. Having to be apart so early in the relationship, and on top of the already difficult long distance was the added agony of both and especially Yi-Jin’s day to day life. He wanted to succeed and in doing so he took all opportunities, but the cost was the life he imagined with Hee-Do. We see when they break up first, that Hee-Do does not even seem like the same person. She is so cold on the outside and has just fully checked out from an emotional standpoint. She thought of all different routes this relationship could go and came to the conclusion that it was a lost cause and there was no way to pick up the already broken pieces.

It gets to a point in some relationships where even if you are one of the people within, you look as a bystander. Some relationships are just not meant to last, and it gets to the point of simply watching either yourself or your partner lose the attachment once felt.

All in all, this show was a great entry and had magnificent points throughout its 16 episode run time. I do believe that it had a bit of a fall off later in the series, but the last 2 episodes were done greatly. Some questions such as how Yi-Jin and Yu-Rim know each other from their childhood, I feel could have been incorporated into the story a lot better. I definitely would not say this show has failed potential as it had a great ending and accomplished what it set out to, but I was not satisfied quite fully after the show ended.

EMOTIONAL FOR SURE!

I loved every episode but the last two. I tried to watch the last two but all I could do is cry. I mean big girl tears. I had to get that out of way.

Watching almost every single episode, I was impressed with what love looked like from the beginning to the end of it. Every emotion in my body came through, my smiles, my laughter, my sadness, and in the end, my tears. The main leads did not die... let me start there. The two main leads Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk were amazing and I look forward to watching more of their acting skills in other Dramas. Not all love stories have a happy ending and I wished this story for the two characters did. I loved fencing, I am a fan of sword dancing, and love martial arts with swords. So those visuals for me were perfect and it also reminded me of Jimin of BTS. I thank everyone to was part of this drama team. Hopefully, the writers will change the ending.

2521....

Fist I should say this drama is super cool. Even I have watched so many dramas I didn't want to write a review cuz I watched them only for entertain my self. The reason why I forced my self to write a review for this drama is this is beyond that entertainment level. This is really a slice of life. I was curious what is the meaning of this drama name before I watched. 2521 means how they facing to there lives at the ages of Yi jin is 25 and Hee do is 21.

As everyone wants to see at the end that Hee do and Yi Jin should be with eachother, but Can they live happily? Exactly they can't. There paths not cross anymore, so they should move on. That's what they want to show with this drama. Goal of this drama as I think is "How should get correct decisions in realtime although how hard they". From this I gained ideas about friendship, love and life goals.

I want to say people who still watch this you need to have so many tissue papers with you. Cuz this is sooo emotional....

-Good things-
The way they understood each other without ruining their lives.
Friends were with each other until the end.
How they achieved their goals, specially Yi jin.

-Bad things-
The ending part, there should be Hee do's husband without only showing her daughter.

All the things I've include how I felt about this drama and not everyone feel like this. 2521 is something best for life. Every character did their best for the drama. Cheers!

If someone asked, do you rewatch this? My answer is 'Definitely' cuz I love this drama that much ?

Mature and real drama

It heals you, and then crushes you in pieces.

The story is real life. I saw myself in every character in different moments. I learned so much with them, I laughed and I cried so hard. What a masterpiece. There's so many thing that were really incredible in this drama: the chemistry between the main couple, the acting of Kim Tae-ri is profound, the music, and the development of each character.

The end is very difficult to watch, but it made sense for me that Hee-do and Yi-jin went in different paths, but it hurted me so much. That's why it's like real life.

"In this world there anren't many things that we can do as we want". - Hee-do, Twenty Five Twenty One

A beautiful story, start to finish

I just finished this drama last night. I had been putting it off since I first started my foray into K dramas about a year ago after hearing of how devastating the ending was. I want to just say that the show absolutely lives up to the hype. This is one of those dramas where after the end your left both full and empty at the same time because you don’t know what you’re going to do to fill that gap in your life that the show occupied. It was a beautiful, poignant coming of age story about life, going after your dreams, falling in love for the first time, and having your heart broken. While the ending was not your typical K drama ending, it was absolutely something we were prepared for from episode one and an ending that I believe to be the most fitting and satisfying. I would say that it absolutely was still a happy ending, despite what other people have said. Besides, I don’t really believe that the romance between the two leads was the main focus of the show anyway. I don’t regret waiting as long as I did to watch the show, because I think that this is not an ending I would have appreciated as much 8-12 months ago as much as I do now. With all of that said, I absolutely recommend giving the show a try to anyone who is on the fence. I was hooked from start to finish!

P.S. One of the most impressive aspects of this series, however, is its remarkable OST. This show probably has the best OST of any that I have ever seen

Its just not a drama its everything means everything..(Little bit spoilers, WORTH WATCHING)

This is the most beautiful, meaningful & one of my most favourite kdrama.
This drama is all about love, friendship, support, goal, ups and down, everything.. The storyline, dialogues, casting, acting, ost, background music, cinematography everything's top notch.
This love story is about having right person but wrong timing and the relationship that will last forever even not didn't end up together.
It's not about having good times together as well as facing hard time together.
At the end all remains are the memories but that memories u didn't want to be fade out.

drama (finalmente) quasi perfetto

attori da 10 e lode, bravissimi tutti, con i due protagonisti principali in stato di grazia, veramente magnifici.
Storia scritta bene, con molti dialoghi che rispecchiano il desiderio, le sconfitte, la ricerca di felicità piena nell'amore e nell'amicizia, che tutti noi (credo) abbiamo vissuto nell'adolescenza e nella prima giovinezza e che sono il perno della vita adulta e senile.
La fotografia e le musiche sono bellissime.
Le attese del cuore, del compimento della propria vita, che attraversano tutte le circostanze dalle più dure alle più noiose della crescita, sono raccontate con una fortissima sottolineatura che è l'INCONTRO CON ALTRO DA SE' che dà compimento e sviluppa la nostra vita di oggi. Comunque vadano a finire le storie, quell'Incontro segna e sostiene la realizzazione e il compimento del proprio io, e quindi, tutto va riconosciuto, di tutto bisogna esser grati.
Fino a che si riconosce che tutto ci appartiene perché le cose più importanti (la coscienza di sé, del proprio valore, l'Amore, l'Amicizia, la Famiglia, la capacità di attraversare tutti i tunnel che la realtà pone) ci è dato gratuitamente da ALTRO da noi, gli sforzi e la crescita che ne conseguono sono allora pacificati.
Il primo episodio non mi aveva convinto molto ... l'attrice principale era raccontata un po' troppo sopra le righe ... ma poi la scrittura e la bellezza di recitazione e sceneggiatura, mi hanno catturata e portata fino alla fine.
