Twenty-Five Twenty-One

I think the vibes feel a little similar to When the Camellia Blooms, also both sceneries are very pretty!

Both are youth romances that focus on friendships, first love in high school/university, all wrapped in warm 90s and early 2000s nostalgia.

=> Both are Kim Tae Ri dramas
=> Fencing is featured in both dramas
=> The coach in Twenty Five Twenty One is also in Mr Sunshine as the mother of one of the female lead's suitors
=> I'm particularly using this comparison for Twenty Five Twenty One fans to watch Mr Sunshine as Mr Sunshine is underrated among international fans and new Kim Tae Ri fans should check it out.

Both of these dramas are romances centres around sports. Twenty-five Twenty-one focuses on fencing while cheer up revolves around a college cheer squad. Both drama's have FL as their main centre character, however on a few occasions the narrative in Twenty-five Twenty-one switches to the ML and also the FL daughter. There is a sense of mystery to both dramas; in Twenty-five Twenty-one you are constantly left in a will they won't they state regarding the main character relationship, whereas Cheer Up is more mysterious in that someone is out to get the FL.

We only have two episodes of Twenty-Five Twenty-One but I think if you like this show then you'd really enjoy When We Were Young.

When We Were Young is a Chinese show about students in the year 1996, so there is a similar vibe going on between these two shows. Although When We Were Young doesn't have an age gap between the two leads, this show does well to really create the curiosity of "Will they get in the future?" from the viewers (like we get from 2521).

It's very wholesome and full of fun family and friendship relationships. Even though we don't know much about how the rest of 2521 will play out, I think When We Were Young is a good show to watch after/when watching 2521.

If you love Kim Tae Ri then this is a great follow up series. She plays a youthful main character in both of these titles and embodies her characters so well!

Entertaining big families that come close to heart.
The way both dramas deal with family-only dynamics is peaceful.
Full of comedy.
Heart-filling romances.
Double in-law couples.

Behind your touch is parodying twenty five twenty one so I think one should watch the original for these reasons
1- the og is more emotional and beautiful
2- it would funnier to understand the changes

The star remembers both their past, their youth and teen age life.

- Friendship
- First Love
- Teen age life struggles
- Youth
- Reminiscing their pasts

-Young, reckless, and in love. How will things change? Will their love be unharmed even if they decide to pursue their dreams/passions?
-Both have extremely similar stories but have different outcomes.
