INFURIATING
Shin Hye Sun is my goat, this had an 8.4, the premise sounded fun so i was assuming this was great but after 1 and half episodes i’ve decided to drop it. the miscommunication stuff is so infuriating, like why does she not explain to people she’s been in a coma for 13 years. especially at the police station. say you dont have ID because you’ve been in a coma. like even if she has the mind of a 17 year old, they would be able to explain it. this was very fustrating because my expectations were so highWas this review helpful to you?

I LOVED THE ENDING
One of the most powerful aspects of Twenty‑Five Twenty‑One is how faithfully its ending reflects the emotional tone of the Jaurim song it draws its name from. The song isn’t a celebration of lasting love, it’s a nostalgic remembrance of a relationship that shaped two people during a fleeting moment in their youthIf the writers had forced a happy ending, it would have completely clashed with the tone of the song and undermined the entire message of the story. The bittersweet ending isn’t just fitting, it’s the only ending that preserves the integrity of what Twenty‑Five Twenty‑One set out to say about youth, love and the nature of growing up

underwhelming start
I expected to really like the show but after the first two episodes im feeling underwhelmed. The positives of the show are that anytime the main leads are on the screen (Shin Hae Sun and Gong Myung) its great, they have good chemistry, their characters are interesting and engaging. But so far it feels like they have had hardly any screentime together maybe 5 minutes in total. I also like the dynamic between the second FL (Hong Hwa Yeon) and the main lead but thats where the positives end. i have no interest in the the obvious eventual power struggle between the two brothers and even less interest in the episodic cheating investigations. Hoping it gets betterWas this review helpful to you?
