Kim Tae-Ri and Nam Joo-Hyuk's drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One recently aired its last episode, which has left fans with a hollow feeling. The show’s storyline kept viewers anticipating for more. Many questions lingered on everyone’s minds since episode 1. But hints regarding the lead couple’s fate were dropped throughout the series. In a way, fans were preparing themselves for what was to come. (Spoilers ahead!)
We saw in the last episode how Baek Yi-jin (Nam Joo-hyuk) and Na Hee-do (Kim Tae-Ri) break up and decide to move on with their lives. The characters live their lives separately and do not get a happy ending together. Twenty-Five Twenty-One deals with many themes, including friendship, relations, love, and heartbreak. Who would have thought that the show which kept the fans hooked for nearly two months would end with such an everlasting impact on them! Here are nine rather emotional quotes from the show that will make your heartache. Take a look!
“Waiting, then being let down, and eventually giving up. That’s what I have been doing all my life. And you’re making me do that again. I don’t want that for my future, Yi-jin.” – Na Heedo
“It’ll probably hurt if you lose it all. But what matters is that you’ve had it at one point.” – Ko Yurim
“This is where I met you for the first time. And this is where we end.” – Baek Yijin
“We’re lovers only during the good times, and a burden to each other in the bad times.” – Na Heedo
“Waiting, missing each other, and being disappointed. One person is always sorry and the other always gives up. Are you really okay with a relationship like that?” – Shin Jae-Kyung (Heedo’s mom)
“The moment of our breakup haunted me and I had wished to have it altered.” – Mrs. Kim (Heedo)
“It’s a gamble to confess your feelings. You either get it all or lose it all.” – Ko Yurim
“Heedo, let’s put a distance between us. We were capable of anything. So, let’s try this as well.” – Baek Yijin
“Every day can’t be a tragedy just because you lose every day. It’s easy to forget after you laugh. You have to forget in order to move on.” - Na Hee Do

I knew from title. 21-25, thanks to the Juarim song of the same title, how this drama was supposed to end. I thought and I hoped for 13 episodes that I would be wrong.
I am not disappointed by the ending. I am disappointed by the transition to how they justified the ending.
It felt abrupt and like it created inconsistencies
I have added this to my list of "refund dramas." Dramas where the endings, make me wish I had never watched the beginning, and wish I could have a refund on that time, emotion and energy back, no matter how good any of it was
Oh well at least I still have Jaurim.
