Even though i watched this drama while it was airing, i put off writing a review about it until i get over the ending. My initial reaction to the ending was a very emotionally charged response declaring it outright unacceptable. I absolutely couldn't believe it. I was invested in their story that the ending blew mind...... in a not so cool way.

But, even at that time, this one easily took a spot in my top ten kdramas. It is beautifully written and it is completely unpredictable. It managed surprise me every single time. Every week, there were countless theories on twitter and other social media but it is so unpredictable that most, if not all, got proven wrong. It was absolutely crazy. Even the ending, the writer managed to keep everyone on the edge until the last two episodes, and that is NOT some easy feat. So, kudos to the writer.

2521 might be the story of Na Heedo but the lives of the rest of the characters are also shown and its not just for some plot convenience. Their stories are also given equal importance. And all of them are so likable that you feel like rooting for all them. The cast did a wonderful job.

The only reason why i am giving it a relatively low re watch value is because I am still a bit bitter about the ending even though i have come to accept it. I watch kdramas to escape reality so realistic endings are a tad bit difficult for me to comprehend. But, on an overall, it is a must watch slice of life.
