First Drama Stills for tvN Period Romance Drama Twenty Five Twenty One with Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk
Setting a drama in a past real life time frame is a delicate thing, to capture that experience and weave it into a fictional story well plus doing justice to those who lived through it. It’s a reason the Answer Me series is so beloved and highly rated when it aired, nostalgically using fictional characters to remind everyone of the real life world from 1997, 1994, and 1988. We’re getting another drama set in the 90’s coming up, more specially the South Korean financial crisis of 1997, with early 2022 tvN series Twenty Five Twenty One. Starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri, she’s a member of the national fencing team in sabre and he’s a sports reporter, and each experiences family and dream ups and downs due to the financial crisis impacting the entire nation. The drama will span many years and sounds more akin to those J-doramas where the leads meet, move apart, meet again, et. al., until it’s finally time to go for that happy ending. The drama released the first set of stills this week showing Kim Tae Ri as a bright high school student and Nam Joo Hyuk manning a local book and DVD rental store.
These small comfort romance dramas like Our Beloved Summer and Twenty Five Twenty One are really the essence of kdramas.

I really want to see this one and am hoping it’s good. I need a simple romance drama and somehow I can’t seem to get into the rhythm for One Beloved Summer (I couldn’t finish episode 1) although I plan to try again.
Am also hoping Nam Joo Hyuk can deliver in a setting I think is perfect for him, he did superbly in Weightlifting Fairy which makes me believe that there is some talent there, he just needs to let it out.
I will probably sample this one. But everyday I am praying that Kim Tae Ri will resume doing art movies where her talent can come to its right.
He delivered with his two roles in dazzling and as dosan in startUp + his Netflix series School nurse files
???? Waiting ?!!!!!
