Namaste ji!
Twenty-Five Twenty-One is REFRESHING your eyes so far!
Hello blushing sweeties!
Work from home, work from office, work all day and night; there’s almost little to no time for us to step out, refresh and go on a vacation. And this ‘need for some refreshment’ is exactly what some of the Korean drama cinematographers are targeting. Hence, drawing more target audience. Recent example of a beautiful cinematography that completely replenishes your mood, happiness and soothes your eyes is the drama ‘Our Beloved Summer’. And another example would be ‘Twenty-Five Twenty-One’. Most of their scenes are filled with greens, bright sunny mornings, clear skies, peaceful neighbourhoods (yeah! They look peaceful) and all charms of the actors (uff!).
The drama is set in the 90’s but I do not get the 90’s vibes; neither from the locations and cinematography nor from the characters.
This is the first time I am seeing Kim Tae Ri’s (FL-Na Hee Do) acting and I am already a fan. The way she has transformed herself for the character: tone of speaking, her walking style, and even when she stands (mostly she stands like a man) is appreciable. The immaturity and recklessness of an 18-year-old kid has been very well portrayed through her character. Also, she is very ambitious, optimistic, a hard worker and has a very bright smile (aww!).
Nam Ju Hyuk (ML-Baek Yi Jin) as always and as usual is radiant, though his character is someone whose family has gone bankrupt because of IMF establishment and has lost everything. The maturity and the gentleman behaviour of a 22-year-old has been very well portrayed through his character. Though he looks bright on the outside, he is pessimistic on the inside. And that pessimism is something that our FL is going to change.
I need to watch more episodes in order to pass my comments on the rest of the characters.
Besides the main plot, the show is also trying to show the differences in the way an 18-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man think, speak, act and react.
The OST’s of the drama (my, my.) are so damn upbeat, cheerful and motivational that they straight away go to my morning songs playlists because, “such songs plus coffee- what else do I need to wake me up?”.
Only two episodes are down for me. The story seems to be simple so far but you know the 'booms and baams' in the story comes only when the story reaches halfway. So, there is a long way to go to finalize comments about this drama. But I loved it (so far) and will be watching the rest of the episodes shortly.
Thank you for reading my review.
Have a good day/night!
