HAHAHAHA nooooooo. It was just a simple fling relationship of Baek Yi Jin with one of his schoolmates. Lol. I don't think it will go that way xD

okay if you want dark intense stuff that is really deep but with a satisfying ending, I think you can try Flower of Evil? It's my top drama and it's also very cathartic for me.

"but I've had enough sadness in my life. Im at a particularly low point in my life and i just want to smile while watching this show"

You know same here. I would also love watching heavy shows but I didn't really expect that there's a possibility that this will be heavy so I'm not really prepared hahaha. But this show is sooo good plus its comedy is gold and I really love this kind of comedy, the scenery and everything about the relationship of the leads plus the intense plot on fencing (rivarly), the underlying theme of dreams, youth and family so this is definitely my drama but I really want it to be satisfying in the end (but not in the way I will cry tears of sadness pls no) and also I really hope for Yi Jin x Hee Do endgame because I love them so much.

I love your review so much ♡

Plus those stickers are really cute tho!! I don't even have money to buy such cute things :'(

It was clearly intentional from the writer and the people's feelings regarding that matter were also because they are too much invested on the writing. I also understand how people keep saying that both are just youth, of course, they are and there will be lots of growing up that will happen and character development. But what most people want for them to fully sympathize and understand Yu Rim's situation is when she admit that she's wrong and she apologizes to Hee Do. Hee Do is a good person and though she's financially well, she doesn't have much support system unlike Yu Rim. Both of them have problems and both of them are critical when they do--Yu Rim goes to swimming pool and cries, while Hee Do, I don't think many people here emphasized that Hee Do could have gotten in an accident killing herself when she ran away sitting on the cold road after she won gold medal and how she cannot even come home. I'm so actually worried because she could really die there. So, please, come on, it will never be right to treat other people badly (I am reacting like this because most people here kind of want to stop other people criticizing Yu Rim; again, we are criticizing her because that's clearly what the writing wants to build up). I am also a youth and do you guys know how much emotional damage what Yu Rim did to Hee Do? Her words are so piercing. And I'm so glad that Hee Do did not give up and that's why she's here now. Other people might give up just because of Yu Rim's hurtful words.

Hello, I think it's also a good info to know that tvn updated the description of Twenty-Five Twenty-One on its official site!

It's now:
22 and 18 = Knew each other's name.
23 and 19 = Relied on each other.
24 and 20 = Both were wounded/hurt.
25 and 21 = They fell in love.

Here's also a very beautifully written post in tumblr regarding this: https://kestrel-of-herran.tumblr.com/post/678062505808003072/2521-a-curious-update-on-the-relationship-summary

I just thought this is worthy to share! ♡

I have come up with a makjang theory that Yi Jin is really the father but he doesn't know and Hee Do married another man. T-T I need to come into reality

I think it's both pivotal to Hee Do x yi Jin's story but it was more for Hee Do x Yu Rim to mend their differences and the start of their friendship.. 💛

I'll go for theory #1 as well even if that doesn't make sense LOL. T_T

I don't think so, previews are always like that. In one of the trailers, Hee Do ran after she met Baek Yi Jin with the yellow rose. Plus, in the preview, Hee Do said something like "I was not disappointed that you are Injeolmi", it was kind of sad and serious, I think she's pertaining to Yu-rim.

On the preview she said something like this, "I was not disappointed you are Injeolmi". I think it was addressed to Yoo Rim and not Yi Jin.

I honestly respect your opinion and I really agree that she needs to be accountable for her actions and she needs to apologize...ASAP!

Same, I can definitely understand Yu Rim's conflicted emotions, shame and probably, disappointment. But then here's comes Hee Do's voice in the preview saying she's not disappointed that she's Injeolmi. Please, Yu Rim, warm up soon! Hee Do is such a beautiful soul who doesn't deserve to be hurt more emotionally T-T

Yes! They were also cute when they talked about having a new rumor about them! Lol! BFF things!

I bet Yi Jin will be too stunned to speak, then reject her and Hee Do will run away just like in the trailer! xD

finally someone who had same sentiments like me T-T I mean it was so awesome especially with Hee Do's coming of age and her crush on Yi Jin T-T

I feel sympathy on her situation, she's got too much on her shoulders as a youth. She's only human and she makes mistakes—however, that is not an excuse to mistreat someone. I know many are saying she's just a kid, yes she still needs to grow up more BUT part of that growing up is for her to realize that she hurt a good person. As she's also an athlete and a person going into adulthood, she needs to more professional. I was really hurt when I was 16 years old but never gotten a proper apology from those group of people who hurt me and I believe everyone should sincerely apologize to the person they hurt, intentionally or unintentionally. Apologizing is part of growth.

I believe, what they have right now is very precious and very comforting especially with how they handled their separation in episode 5. But, their perceptions of one another is surely slowly changing. It was also a good scene where Hee Do got angry at Yi Jin for treating her as "young, dumb and funny kid" as Hee Do said.

But, I do not think they are seeing each other as lovers now and I don't think this is the right time. They are special friends with special relationship with good intentions for one another. I think it will also be a lot meaningful if they stay as very good friends for now instead of lovers right away. Hee Do will mature a lot by 21 and Yi Jin will have a better ground to fall in love at 25~ ♡

I’m betting all my cats’ food that Yi Jin will immediately confess that he’s not Injeolmi. I mean, there’s no reason for him to claim that he is! It is not just some romance drama, they are fighting day to day battles for their dreams and family! But, I bet he’s flustered at Hee Do’s confession, I mean that was indeed too strong Hee Do. 🤣 But I admire, you girl! You got me giggling and I don’t even know how can I function properly before episode 9 comes. 😭 I hope for the best for both of you! I know you will truly fall in love as lovers years later, still, I’m rooting for that special friendship that you guys still have.

Moving on, in the preview, we can hear Hee Do saying, “I was not disappointed that you are Injeolmi”. Unlike at the ending of episode 8 where she confessed to Yi Jin about her feelings to him with conviction, in the preview, her voice is mellow, soft, and probably a little sad but is hopeful. It’s probably addressed to Yu Rim, whom she thinks she hated but is actually a friend she confided in all along. I hope Yu Rim will warm up sooner on next episode because Hee Do is such a softie at heart.

I guess the next episode will be the beginning of Hee Do’s friendship with Yu Rim! And I am trusting writer-nim and Yu-rim to be better and give Hee-do the most sincere apology as a good start of their friendship. 💖
