One of the best dramas I've watched, but a drama I wouldn't recommend to anyone
You have probably seen and/or read everything there is about this drama, I am here to tell you to forget it all.
It took me a while to start watching "Twenty-five, twenty-one", but once started, I could not stop. Every possible emotion the characters portray is felt so strongly through the screen. You laugh out loud with them, cheer for them, cry with them and then cry some more. It's impossible to explain, but it is like you're living each moment with them in real life.
That may be why so many reviews are so "extreme".
The story is well though-out and told in a beautiful way. If you haven't listened to Jaurim before, this is your sign to give them a try. The OST fits great with the scenes, like it's another member of the main cast.
And the cast - I may be biased with Kim Tae-Ri, but all the actors showed a good performance.
There is no main story + side stories. You don't want to miss a single scene here.
And although I don't regret watching it, not even a second of it, I was so emotionally exhausted afterwards that it took a while for me to move on from the show. The reason may also be that I've finished it in a very short time, so my heart went through a lot in just a couple of days, but I'm looking forward to a time when I'll feel rested enough to watch it again.
A gem, an absolute gem of a show. 10/10
