• Weather was surprisingly better than expected because my expectations were rock bottom. The weather parts were excellent as expected didn't expect Yoon Park to be the cheating a*hole fiance. Even less did I expect Yura and Kang to be lovers. There was no chemistry there. Minyoung and Kang are most enjoyable when arguing about the weather and hopefully that stays at the core of the drama and not silly love triangles. Which is also my hope for 2521. No love triangles please. Taeri fangirling over Bona was the best part but she was a tad bit too high pitched. Joohyuk always has a first love vibe and his visuals were the best I've seen from him ever. He was a bit wooden in some scenes but his character is an improvement over his Startup character which coincidentally started out very geeky golden retriever-ish then became too alpha male. Anyways both dramas are going up without any competition since all the other dramas are on a break currently. We'll see how the competition and ratings pan out once the timeslot fills up again.

  • If you removed the weather aspect the drama is another generic workplace noona romance. PMY and Yura had one standard expression the whole episode so not getting my hopes up on the acting front. 2521 is a spin off reply drama and nobody can convince me otherwise. It even has the who is the husband mystery set up from the 1st scene itself. NJH is a dream but KTR needs to tone it down but the drama is the KTR show for the entirety of the first episode even though she isn't convincing as an 18 year old.

    • Then don't watch if kdrama if you are not convince lol and why are you wasting your time commenting here if you are not satisfied for what you are watching? The thing is if you don't like the actors and actress ileven if it's a good drama you will never like it so nextime don't waste your time commenting nonsense

    • @kim go on

      Lol. So, apparently, people can't comment or expressing their opinions for something they watched? and we all should just comment for things we like? ?

      Your comment is exactly why fans always got branded as silly hardcore

    • @summeris

      The similarity with Reply might be coz one of the writer of 2521 is part of the writing team of Hospital playlist, hence part of the ShinLee team (Reply/PP/HP). Kinda like the writer of The Racket Boys co-wrote Prison Playbook with Lee writer of Reply. So, the vibe is similar-ish.

• Thank God for Netflix for showing both dramas. Will dive in tomorrow. Just finished watching Love and Leashes. It was hilarious in some scenes but overall quite tame. Both leads did a good job in their portrayals. Hub and I enjoyed it thoroughly more for the comedy. Now cue antis barging in barking no nude scenes no smoking no violence!

  • Love and Leashes was surprisingly good. I thought it was quite sexy even without sex scenes or nudity.

    • Agree,very well done. Young actors are setting the bar high good Job.I'm from latín América and loving Korean culture.

• I wasn't impressed with the preview for either drama but thought the first episode of Twenty Five, Twenty One was quite good. Kim Tae-ri is loud but it works for her character. There were some very funny scenes. NJH was quite good though it was Kim Tae_ri's episode, for sure.

  Forecasting Love and Weather wasn't terrible but wasn't good either. The thing I was worried about was PMY and SK's chemistry, and I'm still worried. Still not impressed with SK's acting, but if this was just a slice of life work drama, it could work. The thought of them kissing is still hard to picture. Hopefully, that changes going forward because the weather parts are enjoyable enough.

• Kim Tae Ri is good but she went slightly over the top in that crying scene. Also a more suitable color scheme for that era would have been nice, it still feels very much like a modern day drama.

  • NJH delivered, is all I'm gonna say.

• I visited qoo and the reviews of 25 21 were kind of mixed. People were again dragging Nam Joo Hyuk calling him wooden. And even ktr was criticised a bit saying she over acted and it's the first time they aren't liking her acting .
  Ofcourse there were people who enjoyed the drama too.
  I will wait for few more episodes to see whether it's worth it or not

  • KTR is a great actress, but I did find her acting here a bit cringe and shouty. I think she’ll settle in quickly once her character ages.

  • Pls tell me how does the quoo feel about the first episode of my girl PMY and actor SK and their drama?
    I'm very worried about their chemistry and age gap between them that will cause netizens to dislike the drama and compare it to tvn's drama.

    • For now theqoo doesn't care about the PMY drama but after that super hot hook up scene I can foresee SK and his back muscles trending for a long time.

  • not surprised her screaming on top of her lungs isn’t coming off as cute, plus the contrast of the MLs character with her is not mixing properly well. They look like older sibling bickering with bratty younger sibling. I wonder how they’ll create chemistry in upcoming episodes but the overdose of overacting kim tae ri is too much to take

• I liked the first episode of 25 21, later there will have a jump in time, so KTR is pretty good as the bratty teenager. I think she will "tune down" when her character will be older.

  For Forecasting, the set-up is very similar to She Would Never Know with both FL being cheated by their boyfriend, the office setting and the noona romance. In this case, the ML is a genius... I wasn't not expecting the love square... I'm not sure about the future couple for now.

• I am a fan of Kim Tae Ri. I watched Mr. Sunshine at least 20 times, but it's painful to watch her here. I turned off TV after forcing myself to episode 2. Not many good dramas on Netflix these days.

• They were both boring first episode

• I have not started watching these two but i preferred Tae Ris drama.

• Just watched forecasting love. I liked the weather thing - kinda new & interesting. they really showed its importance. However all 4 leads' character are meh. I was surprised how even pmy's is not worth rooting for.
