This show never gets old.
The reason this show gets a 10/10 from me may be a little biased because I fell in love with the aesthetic, but I feel like it’s safe to say that it did not disappoint.I’m the type of person who never really has any negative comments about a show or movie, I just seem to take my opinion in as a part of the movie and what it was meant to be so, my review may not be accurate according to the impeccable standards of some of the critics (who btw are really good at what they do) but it is the viewpoint of a fellow ordinary viewer.
First off, like I mentioned I really liked the aesthetic and the overall theme of the show’s costume and makeup, it was definitely what drew me in in the beginning. I feel like they did a really good job in portraying the character’s personality and growth (in Da Hee’s case) through the costumes.
Second, I am a sucker for Korean youth dramas because they not only portray optimism but also are real in the midst of the ethereality and show characters having some normal negative emotions without exaggerating them and making them villains for having those emotions. This show did a really good job at this in the case of Ha Jun giving him a chance at redemption, being true to the Korean drama tropes when it comes to a character like him.
Overall, I really enjoyed the casting as Han Sung MIn and Kim Woo Seok seemed to be able to portray a perfect sombre relationship while giving each other space to face their demons. Kang Yu Chan as Son Bo Hyun was extremely refreshing as I feel like he himself embodies the character and I also really loved Woo Seok, Chan and Jin Ho Eun’s comedic chemistry. My favourite casting however, has to be Chae Won Bin as Baek Ye Eun, a character I absolutely loved for being able to notice the hidden toxicity between Da Hee and Ha Jun and later also self realise that she might have not seen Ha Jun for who he is due to past prejudices. Also I really like Chae Won Bin in general.
In the end, Twenty-Twenty is a light web drama with a soft moving story line, the BGMs and OSTs went really well with the show in my opinion and I feel like it definitely has a high rewatch value.

A story of you and the world you live in
Filter was such a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t flashy or dramatic; it felt real. From the first episode, I was drawn in by how grounded everything was: the makeup, the conversations, even the conflicts. There weren’t any over-the-top villains or forced twists, just people trying to figure themselves out and learn to love without losing who they were.Both main couples had amazing chemistry. Their relationships grew so naturally that nothing felt scripted, just honest and warm. What I loved most was how the show handled each character’s growth. Tang Qi’s clumsiness, Su Chengcheng’s insecurities, Lin Yuan’s quiet pain, and Gu Yu’s brave front all felt like reflections of real emotions people hide or grow through.
The writing and production weren’t loud, but that’s what made Filter stand out. It didn’t try to impress; it just told a story with heart. For me, it became one of those dramas that stayed with me long after it ended gentle, genuine, and full of feeling.
