Twenty Five Twenty One will see the highly-anticipated team-up of Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk
Our first Korean romance drama of 2022 is almost here. After thrilling zombie series, All Of Us Are Dead opened Netflix’s Korean slate of the year and Our Beloved Summer ending, Twenty Five Twenty One is next on the list—a drama with a sprinkle of comedy but essentially about a coming-of-age story which hopes to inspire us for the rest of the year.
The drama will be one of Netflix’s K-drama releases this month, joining the likes of Forecasting Love and Weather, Love and Leashes, Thirty Nine and Business Proposal. If you’re this spoiled for choice, you might be backtracking on what you should watch and what you should skip (or save for later).
To help with that, we break down all the interesting facts to know about Twenty Five Twenty One and why it should definitely be on your watch list.

1. It has amazing lead stars
Two of South Korea’s hottest stars are leading Twenty Five Twenty One. Nam Joo-hyuk might be a familiar face to many—he starred in two other Netflix dramas, The Schoo Nurse Files and Start-Up.
The model-turned-actor also impressed viewers with his dramatic transformation in The Light in Your Eyes after leaving us swooning in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo. It will be exciting what new side of him he’ll show in Twenty Five Twenty One.
Joining him in the lead cast is Kim Tae-ri who was last seen in the sci-fi movie, Space Sweepers. The upcoming drama will only be Kim’s second one after Mr Sunshine and marks her first foray into a romantic comedy work. Kim is best known for her breakout role in Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden. She won the part after beating out 1,500 other actresses who auditioned.
