Here Are 20+ Reactions To The “Twenty Five Twenty One” Finale That Are Too Real
Spoiler Alert
The day has finally arrived. Twenty Five Twenty One, a heartwarming (and heartbreaking) K-Drama about love and friendship, has concluded at 16 episodes, and it truly feels like we’ve lost a piece of us. It will certainly be remembered with fond memories in the future.
Yet, at this time, we are suffering emotional damage thanks to tvN. If you are still trying to process that finale, we have 10+ viewer reactions that are too real…
1. This scene broke us.
seungwan: should i tell you about your ex girlfriend?
yijin: i can just watch the newsex girlfriend 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #TwentyFiveTwentyOne #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/WbodyEUPct

2. It doesn’t make sense…
a normal human being can date/marry a goblin, a king from parallel universe, a mermaid, a gumiho, a soldier from the north, and even an alien…
but a news reporter and an athlete can't be together?? 😭#TwentyFiveTwentyOne#TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/Z7yluAYZKu

I can’t believe a fugitive Korean Italian mafia made things work for his love while he’s been on an island than this respected South Korean reporter who came back to the same country as his first love just couldn’t… #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 #TwentyFiveTwentyOneFinale #Vincenzo pic.twitter.com/QiBCYO7oIo

3. It’s too real.
how can they make a breakup so painful yet so beautiful. my heart hurts so much. they end things in a good way, knowing none of them want to part ways but the love doesn't gives them support anymore 😭💔#TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/4Mq1Pbub7l

It's so heartbreaking to see people who genuinely love each other to fall apart. Perfect representation of life and adulthood because people come and go and the only constant thing in life is change #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp15 pic.twitter.com/iT7Nv7m1hO

5. So happy for Ko Yu Rim, though.
my girl yoorim got a happy ending and that’s all that matters.. she’s really been through the worst in the drama and i just wanted to see her smile at the end #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/mD4MXFUYQq

6. A true love story.
it wasnt just distance. yijin was so passionate about his work that he lost track of what should be his priority. heedo supported him so much that she ended up forgetting about herself.
In the end, both of them chose themselves. #TwentyFiveTwentyOne #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/n1RRV1ly93

The villain in this story: time. Neither of them is the bad guy. For Heedo, it was the sinking feeling of not being a priority. For Yijin, it’s the endless work. They aren’t falling apart bc of bad character traits. It’s just life.#TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp15 #NamJooHyuk #KimTaeRi pic.twitter.com/RDzXZKyGlT

7. But we miss them nontheless.
8. BRB, crying.
The words they truly wanna tell each other is making me emotional, thank you for sharing with us your amazing frienship and love story, Yijin and Heedo 🥺#TwentyFiveTwentyOne #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/AUb7HpU0k5

9. Ji Woong is the standard.
“The only thing I know how to do is to love you. No one else can make me happier or sadder than you can. Wherever it is, we’ll go together like we’ve been for the past ten years. Will you marry me? I love you”

10. You can’t tell us they don’t still love each other.
yijin: "please remove this question, athlete na heedo doesn't like to be asked about such thing."
heedo: "someone told me my left side is prettier."

11. Everyone gets a happy ending, but Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do!
12. It’s so bittersweet.
I can understand why they did not show old Yjin nor told us who Minchae’s father is. The end was about Heedo. How she loved, broke her heart and moved on. Nothing lasts forever because that is real life. All the good things will just become a fond memory. #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 pic.twitter.com/6WBVHlXcfe

13. You’ll be hearing from our lawyers, tvN.
the writers really thought they did something with this bit. they really said, oh you thought you have experienced the worst pain? let us drag you to the deepest hole of sorrow until the very last second. #TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 #TwentyFiveTwentyOne pic.twitter.com/Ybj9pKMAd5

14. This song always meant heartbreak…
@jiminsdramas
15. Kim Tae Ri deserves all the awards.
a big applause to taeri who gave life to na heedo. a 31-year old woman who pulled-off the role of an 18-year old who finds happiness in stickers, faucets, rains, comic books, rainbows, pencil case and fireworks. YOU ARE ICONIC. 💛#TwentyFiveTwentyOneEp16 #TwentyFiveTwentyOne pic.twitter.com/gXmORVjgTO

17. Kim Tae Ri is all of us.
"I already knew the ending from beginning, so even the bright part felt vague. Watching the ending was sad and heartbreaking.
Nevertheless viewers gave so much love. Heedo was really lovely and Yijin was really a warm person

27. So many more questions than answers.
@jesskdramadiary Personally I didn’t like the ending #twentyfivetwentyonefinale #twentyfivetwentyoneending #twentyfivetwentyone
28. The tears won’t stop.
29. We need you in one happy K-Drama, Kim Tae Ri!
30. We’ll never forget you, Twenty Five Twenty One.
sad ending doesn’t change the fact that i invested so much time, effort, and emotion to this drama. it’s a meaningful drama to me, nevertheless.
