Wtf YJ and HD not together but yurim and jiwoong end up together in the end?
It was expected ever since the start that YJ and HD wouldn't end up together especially that one scene where HD was shocked when her mother talked about meeting YJ. I was preparing myself for the heartbreak. At least one couple had a happy ending I wonder if they're planning a season 2.
I know a lot of people were unhappy with the ending, I was too. But I understand why the open ending exists and I sort of predicted it. From the beginning when Na Hee Do's mom mentioned meeting Baek Yi Jin it was obvious that they weren't together. In fact as the show progressed, I never even thought of the romance aspect, to me they were soulmates with whatever pure love they shared. The open ending was creative if they plan to make a season 2 but if they don't I still liked it because it does not give closure, I don't think I'd be able to handle them not being together with the amount of love they share between each other. The open ending allowed me to have some hope of them being together as their lives progress. So regardless of the ending, Twenty Five Twenty One will go down in history as an amazing drama.
PS: Considering the unanswered questions I wonder if there is going to be a season 2.
Youre absolotely right, but I think the repetitive is a strategy, part of the plot.
Oh, I was so mad about A Piece of your Mind because it was an excellent drama which was getting cut to 12 although it could have perfectly gone forward with a substantial plot to a great ending but because of the ratings, they rushed it.
Oh god! Thank you so much. I was so tired of seeing insensitive comments and false information. I wish non-koreans…
I'm sorry but it's pretty visible how much you know about Korea with that comment of yours and all others you've made. You're clearly a person least interested about other people's feelings and traumatic experiences and more interested in entertainment. And of course Koreans know more about their history than your Toms and the other names you mentioned. There's something known about history and parents and families who have first hand experiences so I think it's you who need to GTFOH.
All of those concerns were debunked and dismissed. Like how the entire premise is not set in the period of the…
We don't fall in cancel culture rabbit holes easily, it's because idiots like us actually have hearts for the victims while people like you value entertainment over traumas and hurt. It shows how much of a person you are.
All of those concerns were debunked and dismissed. Like how the entire premise is not set in the period of the…
The difference is in the way they are portrayed. Snowdrop from the start was embroiled in historical distortion. It is set in 1987 but the way it portrays the NIS is wrong. They weren't after spies but accusing innocents to be spies specifically those who were a part of protests. Neither was their head a softie at heart. On the other hand Youth of May is set in 1980 (the Gwangju Uprising) and it accurately portrays how protesters were treated. How people went missing, how they were killed and bodies were found way later. Many people didn't even know whether their closed ones were alive or not. It was in all a tragic story filled with blood,shouts of the protest.
That is why from the beginning Snowdrop was criticised while Youth of May was praised.
Ok. Cool. So here you go. This was what I had written for as an answer to another person but that person refused to read it so I asked whether you'd we willing to read it.
Lastly since you wanted why it distorts history, here you go :
1. The "Central/government intelligence" agents that appear is this drama, called 안기부 are portrayed as people who were attempting to catch North Korean spies. In reality, NO, they are a group who killed many innocent people—specifically young students at the time who were protesting against the oppression. They used the above just an excuse.
2. In the drama, Eun Chang Soo (Jisoo's character's dad) heads the NIS. "According to the character profile, he may be a strict dictator when it comes to work, but his love for literature makes him soft at heart and delicate." But do you know that the actual head of NIS was the beloved right-hand man of then president, Chun Doo Hwan; That president's term was blood-bath. The head covered up many brutal murders in order to scare the people into thinking that they were caused by North Korean spies.
3. Portraying the NIS as respecting warrants is a huge distortion of the truth and very insulting.
It's not about it being fiction and having a creative license. It's about he fact that they've changed how the people actually were. You might think that this is not big or major but victims find it triggering. The fact is that, this is how back then people who supported dictatorship justified the NIS' acts. They denied torture, sexual assaults ,false confessions, deaths. They justified it by saying that they were NK spies when in reality they were not and most of them were young people who were taking part in protests.It was a brutal massacre and the historical distortion portrays it in a light which is not how it actually was.
Well I expected it after reading all your comments. But considering the fact that you blabber everywhere about how you want an explanation. It'll be good if for once, you actually read one. It's not about just entertainment but lives of people who were brutally killed. I'm pretty sure that instead of pushing the one you're trying to protect into deep waters, it's better if you get that person out as soon as possible.
@DareDaniel You're not Korean, are you? You never lived through this. Did you know that this is a trigger for those who have lived through it? People were actually accused of being spies from NK and were killed off. The headmistress in the drama would have been shot off the minute she tried to continue and go against their orders. Families of victims (like Park Jong Cheol) have stated how triggering the show is and before you type something like "then don't watch it" I hope you put yourself and your family into their shoes. In the end it is not about the drama being fictional, it's about the fact that this was a tragic massacre that people lived through, they suffer traumas. People were killed, accused falsely, beaten up to give false confessions, The show airing will only bring back memories that were buried but are still there.

Also, Yoo Hyunmi. She's the main writer for Snowdrop. Also some additional information, her husband is/was a prosecutor…
Oh god! Thank you so much. I was so tired of seeing insensitive comments and false information. I wish non-koreans who are unaware stop speaking up because obviously they do not know our history better than we do. This is more than just kpop+entertainment.
Ok, so I watched ep 1 and I must say it was good. But the second lead syndrome is going to be so bad in this one,…
And that kick was the best! Damn it hit him right in the stomach and the way she held his collar. Plus Ren's smile, oh lord Im having sl syndrome from now on. T-T
Ok, so I watched ep 1 and I must say it was good. But the second lead syndrome is going to be so bad in this one, so so bad. I can fee it from now. I hope that they make a change and make Ren the ending and not Thyme but I guess it won't happen. It was good to see tho, something new, when he explained that with money comes power, with power comes responsibility and with responsibility comes pressure.
Lordy this show ends in April next year, wonder if I get stuck through it
I was worried about that too because in all the previous versions, specifically Meteor Garden, the violence was very high and a bit of a turn off. But the director for the thailand version said that there have been new elements added. Let's see.
At least one couple had a happy ending
I wonder if they're planning a season 2.
So regardless of the ending, Twenty Five Twenty One will go down in history as an amazing drama.
