The Story
In 1998, Korea is suffering financial devastation due to the IMF Crisis. In the midst of that struggle, two young people have their lives radically changed and their dreams for the future threatened. But in a world of uncertainty, they form a friendship that will support and carry them through the next three difficult years, as they grow into adulthood. Na Hee Do dreams of becoming a nationally recognized fencer, despite her school having to cut their team for lack of funding. Baek Yi Jin has to drop out of college, but he hopes to find a job and earn enough money to bring his family back together. Both of them will have to have patience and strength if they expect to achieve their dreams. But thanks to their deep connection, at least neither will have to do it on their own.
Should I Watch
“Twenty-Five Twenty-One” is a coming of age story about friendship, first love, and the dreams of youth. This nostalgic drama is a sweet, feel-good story spanning three years. But there is also a bittersweet message that as youth passes, life doesn’t always turn out the way we hope. The cast has amazing chemistry and Kim Tae Ri’s Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actress was well-deserved. If you are looking for an emotional romantic drama with a strong focus on friendship, this drama is a must-see. I give “Twenty-Five Twenty-One” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
