pls it’s been almost 3 weeks since this drama ended and I’m still so attached to all the characters 😭❤️
Same here! When will we recover? 🥹😭
I understand you.. There is something special about them that no one can ever replace 😭❤️
same T>T
Same here
same T_T
Recommendation: Cast Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk as main leads in another drama with a happy ending. Guaranteed success and high ratings! ❤️ 👍🏻 🙏
nah happy ending is cliche i want 2521 kind of ending where it's not always a happy ending its hurts more and happens in real life lol
Hopefully, i still can't move on with this couple
cast does not guarantee success and high rating. a good script and acting does. i just wish they do an alternative ending in a parallel universe or something to make up for the sad ending.
@@NR-gg9wl exactly! I don’t need to respond to the other comment because you hit all the points! Thank you!
yes plz their chemistry omg 😥😥
Their scenes dont have much skinship but even just simple dialogues oozes with chemistry.🥰🦋
The power of pro screenwriters!
Anyone else still crying over the finale 🙋🏻♀️
Me 🙋🏿♀️
Me 😭😭😭
I was not crying I’m just very disappointed lol.
Me
MEEE 💔
Petition for Nam Joohyuk and Kim Taeri play the jenga game 😭😭😭
i'm in 🖐🏻
YES PLS.
Yessss
OMG YEESS
Nam Joo Hyuk & Kim Tae Ri's chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS!! They literally brought Baek Yi Jin & Na Hee Do to life. My love & respect for them got tenfolded 🥰
This behind the scene of Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk worth three or four episodes itself.. they gave us all butterfly in stomach, didn't they? 🥰
I didn't watch the end of this drama . I couldn't do it. I want to keep in my mind all the goods moments, like these " behind the scenes."
It's been three weeks since the show was already ended. Swoon said: let us not moving on!! Me: Yes majesty! I'll never ever move on from this masterpiece Miss them every weekend. It hurts so much 💔😭 #twentyfivetwentyone
I have relished the drama from beginning to end, and because I have, it didn't sit well with me that the characters so well sketched out over the 14 or so episodes suddenly undergo transformations in the last two episodes, especially Heedo. She suddenly becomes blind to the pain and suffering of the post 9/11 world, and only focuses on what it does to her relationship. This wasn't the understanding and empathetic heedo we saw glimpses of earlier. She doesn't take into account what baek yijin is going through. Also she chooses to marry somebody else when clearly she is still hung up on him ( hello 2521 atelier and red car, and her reaction to seeing him in that interview). So no, it will be very hard for me to come in terms with the ending. And it's just my humble comment based on what I saw. And doing so is my right as a viewer. As it is yours, To accept what was depicted.
agreee
One of the best dramas I've watched so far. Nam Joo Hyuk improved a lot, the female lead as well is a perfect portrayal for Na Hee Do. 👏💯❤
He's always been great tho?❤️ (best examples are weightlifting fairy and the light in your eyes)
@@hyukaa02 fr they always giving backhanded compliments -
@@seraphina1855 I'm not saying he is not good tho. Read it again, I said he "improved" a lot, site the difference, people are always looking for faults nowadays without really understanding much the "real" context of what I am trying to say. Anyways, have a good day everyone.
Agree
I'm rooting for both Kim Tae-ri and Choi Hyun-Wook to win Best Actress & Best New Actor - Television at the upcoming Baeksang Arts Awards.
Yess and Lee Joo-Myoung!
And nam joo hyuk too
Kim tae-ri already won best actress in baeksang arts award
I don’t think anyone else could’ve portrayed Na Hee Do or Baek Yi Jin the same way Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk did, both amazing actors! This drama is so hard to recover from because it felt like we went on this journey with them too 😭
when I tell you this will now be my all time favourite drama, I seriously mean it. never have I cried like that for a drama, man. this sh** was so freaking beautiful. the WRITING. the ACTING, the CHEMISTRY, and DIRECTING TOO UGH dude. so good. def will rewatch again and again.
You have NO IDEA how many times Ive watched all the BTS from episode 1-16 even the interviews! Im still on process! I miss them very much! Kim Taeri and Nam Joo Hyuk I will never forget you two! Tbh I also want them to date in real life. Hopefully their friendship will grow and blossom into more than friendship I manifest it!
Lost count of how many fanmade video watched so far. Poor my eyes
me too 😭
Me too I want them to be together in real life

M Ee too
This is a true love story. Most young love stories end sadly because they grow up and grow with different goals. Realistically, though, they still love each other later on in life, and Hee Du's mom knows it. It was evident when Hee Du's mom made that comment, she saw Baekijin and Heedu had that look of love on her face. Sometimes reality just sucks. This show is the best. I Cried, and still cry every time I see some parts of it. Hope they work together again, because they played their roles to the tee! Standing ovation. Please give them both an award👏👏👏 Feeling the emotions.
No other thing can change the fact that Twenty Five Twenty One is an absolutely a masterpiece. Thank you Swoon for giving us more crumbs of the behind the scenes. My love for this drama will not change!!! ❤️✨
My weekends are not the same without 2521...yeah, there are other dramas out there but this one really hit me so hard...I was sooo into it...I think, many can relate 😄
I say it for the 1000th time. Post-interview with Kim Taeri and Nam Joohyuk, please!
I just finished watching this last night and I could say that this is a masterpiece. The storyline and plot is unique and the casts are perfect for their roles. Twenty-five Twenty-one is so good. Hoping for season 2.
Same here!!😭
No, it ended well so let it be~
3 weeks since 2521 ended and I still can't move on from them 😭😭 The Taeyang squad and the drama itself had a huge impact on me 😢 Forever grateful that I watched this absolute masterpiece and I was able to share my feels while it was airing. Definitely one of my top fave dramas despite of it's bittersweet ending 😢
Me too😭😭😭😭
True!!! ❤❤❤😘😘😘
It's been almost a month since the drama ended and we're still here looking for 2521 content 😅. no one's moving on
2521nation: ok let's move on, it's been almost 3 wee- Swoon: no but hear me out
it's been a year and I'm still obsess
After watching this drama i dont feel like watching other drama🙃 the ending is sad but thats how reality works this gonna be my fav. Kdrama
Taeri's laughter at 6:46 😭❤️ she is such a ball of sunshine
best couple in kdrama history for me
yo the fact that Na Hee-Do was 30 years old there and had to play a role of 15 years old like damn
The entire cast seem to be very comfortable around one another especially KTR and NJH 🥹💗
3 weeks after twenty five twenty one finale, I still couldn't bring myself to watch new drama yet. Swoon how to move on, no more game or 2521 content? please give us whatever u keep😭😭😭
I am watch Tomorrow, but 😭😭😭 in every episode.
Same, I can’t seem to move on from this masterpiece. Tried starting on new dramas but can’t get past the 1st episode, cause I’m still stuck on how amazing 2521 was.
Same.. i cant finished the last 2 episodes of business proposal after watching the ending of 2521.. :(...(instead, i ended up watching bts and other interviews of namri)
It's twenty-five twenty-one's fault why i can't watch any drama until now. This drama really left a big scar in my heart.
Their chemistry can pass through the screen, gosh🥰 I can really feel! Top notch 🌈 I choose not to move on! Great story and history in kdramaland❤️💯
They should be playing jenga together😩😩
Yes they haven’t done that much promotion for the drama as the other ones
Yes yes
Swoon is reminding is us that today is Saturday and there's no more new episodes of twenty-five twenty one P.s baekdo r cutest both on-offscreen
WALANG MAGMOMOVE ON SA BAEKDO AND TAEYANG SQUAD 😭😭😭
1:33 The cheesy lines "Sweety Pie" and "Cutie Pie" really brought me the second hand embarrassment 🤣🤣 Tae-ri couldn't stand but laughing at those cheesy lines, too 🤣🤣
I just started to get over the finale, and everyone involved, cuz this drama hurt me in both best and worst ways, and Swoon decided to drop this. 😩
Dear Makers of 2521, please give us an alternative ending to 2521. Life is tough, love is hard, forever doesn't really exist, only thing consistent in life is gravity, we get it.. but it's dramas like 2521 that gives us a brief respite from reality.. and to have the ending be so cruel, not only to us but to the two main characters so lovingly etched by Kim Taeri and Nam Joo Hyuk, its too much!
get over it 😭 just think of the good times they've spent together rather than solely focusing on what was there conclusion. because in some occasions, the journey is greater than the destination; and I'm sure hee do and yi jin would've wanted to think of their relationship as that. and please be considerate of hee do! after going through so much with the early relationship of her mother, i don't want her to be constantly neglected again just because i want her and yi jin to be together. it's just a very selfish and skewed perspective to demand something like that, no hate

That's how I felt too. I didn't expect the ending to be so sad. If I wanted sad I would just shut off my laptop and live in reality
@@lalalalalala6367 Funny, I saw the exact opposite of your view. I saw him change to an extend that was unbearable. He lost his empathy and most of all loyality for his friends. Things that made him the person we all liked at the beginning. He betrayed his long time friend for a story/his career - did not even think about the pain and the suffering she and her parents will go through until it was to late, he closed his door to the person he said he loved too and blamed her for it when she could not bear it anymore and broke up. How in the world should HeeDo have shown any simpathy or understanding for his pain and what he went through during his 9/11 job when it was him not telling her anything about it, not even that he will stay there? She did not know what happened to him and even then she would not be able to understand fully what he went through because she was 6000km away in a complete different situation. She still supported him, she tried to cheer him up because she only saw he changed but did not know why he changed so much because he closed her out of his life, he even pushed her away with his decision to stay in NY not even telling her he applied, or asking her to come with him. At the end he was an absolute egoistic, cruel career journalist without the slightest empathy for his surroundings his friends loyality towards him was the only reason they keept him in their circle or at least tried to keep him. I could not even feel sorry for him being emotionally alone for the rest of his life like HeeDo mome was for a large chunk of hers until she finally could open up about the feelings she had for her husband and his death and she finally decided to open up to her daughter who she emotionally nearly wrecked with her behaviour.
even you swoon can't moved on 😊 the power of 2521 ❤️
My little Taeyang gang I miss you so much 😭❤️ Thank you for all these moments of nostalgic youth that I can look back on when times are tough. The chemistry was just magical both on and off set and really made it such an immersive experience. Every time I think about this show it just hurts that it's over so hopefully these bts will be my final piece of closure 🥺
The level of attachment I have on them and the series is super high that I couldn't bring myself to watch new series just yet 😭😭 I miss baekdo, I miss taeyang squad, I miss my comfort drama every weekend, I miss them everyday 😭💛
Kim taeri's habit before Going to sleep is watch KZhead! I hope that she will watch this.. this feed make Me Miss baekdo so bad. Do you Miss nam jo Hyuk, taeri ssi?
No one is ever moving on from Baekdo 😭
Even their behind-the-scenes oozes with chemistry and cute playfulness. They bring the characters of Hee Do and Yi Jin to life.
So in love with this drama. Even though heart breaking ending. The sweet love between NA HEE DO and Baek Yi Jin. Kim Tae Ri acts super good.. I love her (she becomes one of my fav) and we know how great Nam Joo Hyuk too. All casts play well. Love the gank too.
I miss them so much 😭😭 Especially NJH and KTR. 😢😭❤️
i can't move. 2521 perfect kdrama 🎉🔥🤺🤺🤺🤺❤❤❤❤❤
I still miss them . They are like addictions of my life . Never ending love story 💓💓💓
Let's protest for ''Twenty five twenty one Season 2'''because it is not ended properly in Season 1 so I request you to protest with me to make Season 2 it will be best........guyss❤
Nam joo hyuk and kim tae ri are the real life characters of yijin and heedo ❤️
congratulations kim tae-ri best tv actress at 58th baeksang arts award
I considered going to a therapist after this drama. 🥲 looking forward to Kim Tae-ri’s future projects. I loved her from her mr.sunshine and space sweepers🥺
I love a main character like Na Hee Do! Such a strong female lead!
I still can' t get over of this couple,i hope they get to reunite in another project as a main leads 🙃
One of the best drama I’ve watched. The storyline is so real, beautiful filmed, and great casts! Until now, I still can’t get over with the show. It hit me hard! I wish I had this kind of beautiful, mature ending with my ex in my 20s. Definitely will rewatch again and again …even though I cried near the end.
I’m not much of a K drama watcher so I have only recently started to give Nam Joo-Hyuk recognition. I started Twenty Five Twenty One when it first came out. But it took me a while to get into and finish as it was slow paced and again I didn’t give the characters much attention. It was only in the last 3-4 eps did I really begin to actually recognise NJH and his acting talent. I’m not sure when the exact moment I became drawn to him, but he is currently my favourite k drama actor (and quite the handsome chap too) I have actually watched one of his previous dramas, school 2015, which I watched 3 years ago. He was a lot younger then and new to the acting game so his acting didn’t really stand out to me. But after watch 2521 , I realised how much effort he must have put to bring his character to life. I finished start up yesterday (again I’m late to the K drama game) and i actually felt like he did a good job there too, but I think he became overpowered by the second Male lead. With 2521, as he was the Male lead and wasn’t in competition with another guy, I really think it helped give him the spotlight he deserves. I finished 2521 a month ago and the ending still makes me sad 😭 Moving onto his chemistry with Kim Tae-Ri, I can see that his comfortable around her. I have been watching some of his BTS and interviews with other female leads, but the chemistry he has with Kim Tae-Ri is unmatched. I did not see this level of chemistry with him and Bae Suzy (although from watching their interviews I can tell they are good friends). I don’t believe him and Kim Tae-Ri will get together as she’s not interested in dating and he has a super busy schedule, however you can tell there is a fondness between the two which is nice to see. NJH also seems like a sweet and humble guy which is nice to see. I’m buzzing for NJH next project, vigilante. I’m glad he is accepting a role different to the typical love story ones that he has been in. It will be refreshing to see him in a action and thriller role and I am counting down the months. And it seems shortly after this role, he may enlist in military so he won’t be appearing on our screens for a while. Nonetheless, NJH is at the peak of his career and I wish him well for his future projects!
I hope they can have movie together 🙏 their chemistry is superb 💕
It's been 3 weeks after twenty five twenty one the end, and i still can't move on, cuz it's a great drama, and i love this so much
This is officially one of my favourite shows to exist, I don't think I can move on from this that quickly.
The pencil case scene has to be the funniest scene in the movie. The way he kept her in suspence hehe. I love this movie so darn much
I love kim taeri and the GANG!♥️ LOTS OF LOVE FOR THE CASTS!
Give us more content of KTR and NJH please swoon!! I'm craving so bad for their content, i miss them so much that it hurts so bad. There doesn't go a day without me thinking about them! Please an interview or a game of them would work and heal our hearts(maybe) please soon do the good deed!!!!! 😭 i feel miserable when i think of the ending of 2521 and im obsessed with namri and it is not funny anymore 😭
nam joohyuk the ad-lib king💃👑
Despite the ending we cant deny that this is a superior drama...
Still can’t move on with them.. the best kdrama ever made ♥️
MY HEART WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM TWENTY FIVE TWENTY ONE
The scene of pancil case is soooooo cuuuuttteeee and fun Make me laughter aloooot
This drama enters the list of the BEST OF THE YEAR, without a doubt! If you haven't watched it, watch it! You will be thrilled!
Where I can watch this series for free?? Any suggestions..
@@ShivaniShah-hg8ei Sflix
I'm sorry we didn't want a subbed behind the scene, we want jenga game, couch talk, or any other games with baekdo couple!!! 😩🤍
Why they did'nt have couch talk and jengga game like others???ottoke😭😭😭💔💔💔
This Drama has my Heart Forever
even though i've watched this many times but i still laugh and enjoy like it's the first time i watch it, that's why i can't easily forget it and move on , huhuhu My dear #Swoon if you have the same feelings as me let's show all the sweet scenes of Baek Yijin and Na Hee Do to cure my longing for them, because I love them so much ❤
NJH and KTR chemistry is overwhelming and yet we are being ghosted. Hahahaha. But still I love Kim Tae-ri she's such a brilliant and sophisticated actress. I hope to see more of her!
Yes!!! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's almost 2023 and I still can't move on from this drama.
It’s 2024 and I still can’t move on from this kdrama. 😢❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰❤️😘😘
Swoon, why only one mafia games for 2521 casts? Why don't organize any games for Nam joo Hyuk n Kim Taeri?? Main leads should hv at least one or two swoon games. We are so disappointed that no post interview n promotion for masterpiece of this drama. We lack of fans services 😭😭
theirs chemistry so amazing 😍
i love them so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 that my heart is literally beating so fast while watching these behind the scenes agaaaain 🥹🫠😭
i cried like crazy when they separated at the end
god i feel so empty rn
They have not much skin ship or fan service, but they did make all of us fall in love with them. I thought the BTS would be different from the original one. But that's okay seeing both of them again always made my day. 🧡
Baekdo for life 💙💙💙
I will never forget that pencil case scene! Seeing that pencil case after there break-up feels so sad tho. :(
Omg, watching these behind the scene clips makes me want to see them together in another drama. Can we get one where they have a happy ending together? 🥹
All I can still feel is pain from how it ended 🥲
7:20 seems like Yijin thirsty for the kiss lol
They have chemistry even out of the drama omg
The fact that i missed waiting for pre release every sat and sun. I really miss them so much 🥰
this drama will stick with me for a very long time
I keep watching kim tae ri and nam joo hyuk again and again o my poor heart i miss them so much😭 i got to know about this from twitter when it was trending in India and decided to watch as soon as i glanced at lead pair❤
i love the actors/characters so much and I miss them.
Can’t move on. This is one, if not the best, kdrama out there. The actors, chemistry and script are so well thought of. Please make season 2.
This drama is so wholesome. I absolutely love it a lot 🥺🫶
Please swoon!!! Invite them for an interview!! We miss them. They don't post pics together on IG. I'm soooo sad :(
I MISS THEM SO MUCH!!!
I rewatched the behind-the-scenes so many times 😂
pls yall have to recast them in another show. all the characters have so much chemistry😩❤
I love this drama so much this is one of the most beautiful and well written story that i ever watched, i will never move on from this drama 🥺🤍
If it possible, Could netflix re-couple them again but not sad ending please. All the audience need to see them happy ending.
Swoon it's Jenga time
happy birthday taeri! hope you’ll keep up your bubbly personality and continue to excell your upcoming projects!
Please Swoon, Can You give them both as a couple interview/jenga/everything that can reunite them? We need them being together again, we are all failed to move on until now
Literally finished it today & I’m truly happy, I didn’t cry when I thought I was. I never saw a drama like this, the cinematography of it all was very pleasing to the eye & this will be one I’ll definitely recommend & rewatch. The writer & director really did it. The actors delivered it well. Thank you so much for this gift you gave to us all. Sending love & care🤍♥️
Un dorama increíble, grandes actuaciones y una química maravillosaentre los dos protagonistas!!! Aunque el final fue doloroso y me costó trabajo superarlo seguirá siendo mi serie favorita.
In my imagination, heedo was a fencing teacher and yijin was a school teacher. They married and then they have Baek minchae, they become a happy family ever after and They have no busy life. Then someone told me : yes in our imagination we can dream as we want. Anyways, everything is fictional, except our pain💔 So heartbreaking, my heart is aching, help, call the ambulance please💔💔💔🥺🥺
