There have been so many updates to Korean dramas recently. While you are still immersed in “All of Us Are Dead”, “Forecasting Love and Weather” has already started.
Although Kang Song and Min-young Park’s sibling relationship is a bit high, it seems that in “Thirty-Nine”, Ye-jin Son’s appearance is also good.
However, when I watched Kim Taeri and Nam Joo Hyuk’s “Twenty-five, Twenty-one”, I realized that this is what a good Korean drama should be like.
01 Wherever Kim Tae ri’s acting skills go, there are highlights
Kim Taeri, who was born in 1990, turns 31 this year. He plays an 18-year-old high school student in the play. What kind of Korean magic trick is this?
Anyone who has seen “The Handmaiden” should know that Kim Tae ri is a proper movie actor, and his acting skills are beyond doubt.
This time she came to act in a TV series, and it feels like the current Chungmuro style in Korea. There is no way, the current situation is special, and everyone can only start work on the TV series.
She plays Na Hee-do, an 18-year-old high school student, who is completely different from what she imagined in “The Handmaiden”. She is lively, bold, persistent, and can do anything for her dreams.
At the age of 18, Na Hee-do gave everything for his dream.
Although Na Hee-do doesn’t know anything, she has a passion to move forward.
These are all the passions that Kim Taeri as an actor brings to us. If you have ever had the enthusiasm of an 18-year-old, you will definitely be moved by the TV series.
Once a talented fencing girl from South Korea, Na Hee-do was not as successful as she thought.
Among the 18-year-old peers, the girl who was defeated by herself has become an Olympic champion, but she has not even entered the national team.
Because of the economic crisis in South Korea, his school canceled the fencing team.
In order to transfer to a high school that still has a fencing team, Na Hee-do fights against the girl who won the Olympic champion and tries to get expelled from the school.
In the process, she showed the cute and innocent side of the girl.
Every time you think that this is a thirty-one-year-old girl, it’s incredible. How can you be so girly?
That kind of madness and passion, she fully interprets it vividly.
Three episodes of “Twenty-five, Twenty-one” are currently airing, and whenever Kim Tae ri appears, it is the highlight moment.
This protagonist is really satisfying.
02 Handsome and just right actor—-Nam Joo Hyuk
Although compared to Kim Tae ri, Nam Joo Hyuk’s acting is a little worse. Micro expressions and commitment to the character are not as high as Kim Taeri.
In layman’s terms, Kim Taeri makes you think that she is an 18-year-old high school student, and Nam Joo Hyuk still has idol baggage.
I feel that he is working hard to act well, but I can still feel that I am very concerned about being handsome.
However, he is really handsome, his age is relatively similar, and the role is not too inconsistent. Because he has both expressions and is not exaggerated.
The place where he should show his delicate acting skills is also very serious. Judging from the male protagonist of the idol Korean drama recently broadcast, he is already very good.
In particular, there is a scene in the first three episodes that is very good:
In front of those who came to him for debts, he said with tears in his eyes that he would live an unhappy life in the future.
This scene is really well done, the kind of guilt and anxiety, the helplessness of young people, can fully mobilize the audience to empathize.
03 This is youth!
Since the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are all online, you can watch the plot.
This story really makes people find the feeling of youth.
The TV series tells the story of two young people, one in high school and one in college, who meet and fall in love.
This profile, apart from being from the reading age, doesn’t seem attractive at all. But unfolding the story, it becomes interesting.
I started to introduce the heroine. She is a fencing girl genius, but she was a little short of ability in the middle. By the time Gu Ailing had won the gold medal in the Winter Olympics, she had not yet squeezed into the national team.
But she was not discouraged and continued to work hard for it.
During this process, there were also many misunderstandings between her, the Olympic champions she admired, and the classmates she tried so hard to get close to.
And when she was tossing about her dreams, she met the male protagonist.
The male protagonist is a poor and rich second generation. The gift of getting into college is a sporty and high-profile sports car. However, how rich he was at the beginning, how sad he is now.
Because of South Korea’s economic crisis, his father went bankrupt and divorced his mother falsely. He left him and ran away. He had no money to study in college.
The rich second generation met a young girl at the intersection where her dream was almost shattered when she was most depressed. Is this kind of story more interesting than the introduction at the beginning?
In fact, everyone’s appearance when they are seen when they are most down is the most likely to arouse the concern of kind-hearted people.
When two people meet in this way, it is noisy at first, but in fact, mutual understanding gradually develops, and it is normal to have hazy feelings.
Looking at the rhythm and tone of the first 3 episodes of the TV series, this TV series will not be too cruel, but is based on the optimism and youthful passion of happy comedians.
The heroine played by Kim Taeri never hides her youthful invincibility and comedic character every time she gets to the exciting place.
It was both funny and emotional to see, as if my youth was waving at me.
Indeed, when we are 18 years old, we will sacrifice everything for what we want to do, we will also be hysterical about our emotions, we do not know what is sophistication and tact, and we will imagine the bad world more than adults. Thought it was much better.
We may also run wild and give our all at the age of 18.
This “Twenty-five, Twenty-one” is not so much a youth romance drama as it is a love letter from the screenwriter to youth.
I recommend it to everyone who has fond memories of their youth.
