tvN’s new weekend drama reveals new posters featuring its lead stars.
Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri are set to traverse a drama depicting the growth of young people who have been deprived of their dreams in the 1998 era.
The series traces stories of young romance and friendship in the backdrop of the turbulent East Asian Financial Crisis in 1998. Twenty Five Twenty One gives a wistful tap to nostalgic memories in the perspectives of five young people who thought they would never be apart.
Accordingly, Twenty-five Twenty-one is a collaboration between writer Kwon Do-eun and director Jung Ji Hyun. They are recognized for a realistic and emotional screenplay as well as detailed and polished orchestration. Their combined works include Search WWW, The King Eternal Monarch and You Are My Spring.
In the featured posters, Kim and Nam transformed into their respective characters: Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-jin. Amidst the IMF crisis, Na Hee-do aspires to her fencing dream with passion and enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Baek Yi-jin, the eldest son of a family destroyed by IMF becomes a reporter.
Miniature versions of the two appear as they gaze at each other. Putting her hand in her pocket, she looks at him smiling brightly while standing on a newspaper page. Sitting on what appears to be a diary, he also beams faintly.
In particular, at the point where Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-jin’s eyes meet, the phrase “I will go and reach you wherever you are” is engraved, raising expectations for the story of the two people who tickle their hearts.
Twenty-Five Twenty-One will be broadcast for the first time at 9:10 pm on February 12, following Bulgasal: Immortal Souls.
