On stage 4 of the 5 stages of grief rn 😭
I hate you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I can't move on from this 😫
Stage 6 rn 😭
😭 I can't move on
Please invite them to couch talk please to heal our pains
We need to see them together again after this ending even if it’s for an interview or a game interaction. Something!!
Do you know what is the most heart-breaking from this scene?
Two people who are still so much in love but they have to let go each other because staying together will hurt them in any ways. They decided to part ways to not let each other suffering from waiting, missing each other, being disappointed, feeling sorry or giving up.
Now, only good memories of the first love that they will keep in their heart.. forever.
Loved this!!!
sooooo goooood
🥺🥺🥺
Louder
Thats what first love usually is anyway.
People need to realize that this show is not about two people falling in love with each other like other K-dramas but instead two people finding each other in their most difficult times of their lives and building each other up to succeed in life.
:(( i didn't even watch it but it hurts
You said it right🥺💓
perfectly said. makes you think about your own people in your life.
That's it. I realised this the first time. Unfortunately they can't help falling in love and they wanted more. Their initial relationship is being each other's supporter.
They each have their own dream and they helped each other achieve it. Sad that they have to lose each other in order to get to where they want.
Who knew meeting Hee do and her mother would be the one to inspire him?
Meeting YiJin and getting his support was the ultimate push that Hee do needed all along?
I love this series and i can watch it over and over again and don't mind crying cos it's such a beautiful show.
@@saradamwijk the way you describe this are so beautiful i'm crying 😭 i finished rewatch this and i'm not regret it at all even though my heart broke all over again. Such a beautiful show that make me think about my life, teach me with the life lessons and more importantly, give me hope the same way yijin and heedo give hope and strength to each other ♡
when she was crying without letting a sound out until he hugged her, literally made me break down crying:(((
Same
That was so hard to do. KTR nailed it! 🤍
same here. and i'm a guy it made me break down
SAMEDTT!! I UGLY CRIED DURING THAT PART
@@truthbetold7078 me too😭😭
Yi-jin: “Let’s not put ourselves through too much hard time.”
Hee-do: *Nods*
The fandom: How about us?
FR WHAT ABOUT US WE'RE ALL IN PAIN
@@petalheart648 yes we are 😭
I just couldn't control myself from crying😭😭
RIGHT 😭😭
IM STILL IN PAIN
These two also deserved a drama where they'll end up being together! Their chemistry is so amazing.
Truth😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Drama or movie is fine as long as it's a happy ending. Hopefully a drama from a webtoon that's fun.
need a romcom just vibes and happiness
@@jd4923 same vibes as this but with a better ending ❤️❤️❤️
In life everything doesn't go like we planned... And only memories are left with us
The shoe tying scene still gets me everytime 🥺
"It's from running around."
"And I knew you would get mad if I wore slippers."
every damn time😭😭😭😭
She went runing to search him after seeing his luggage at bus stop
Senti a dor deles nessa cena sério muito real 😭😭😭😭😭❤
Plus he started crying right there because he knew this was the last thing he will ever be able to do for her
Their relationship is much more than a physical love. The supportive relationship which hardly found anywhere else. Their love is so beautiful. They love each other in every possible way.
It wasnt just another first love story, it was about their great love story, the one that couldnt be replaced by anyone else.
you're my first love
Kim tae ri is such a great actress, I remember when she played in the kdrama Mr Sunshine, there were not even one kiss but we can totally feel the true love between them by there eyes, touch, little details
Really !!??? Then why they endup like that as just they are becoming physically far for 1_2years... I didn't get it
@@candlelight7077 exactly the reason why almost everyone was fumed with anger 😅 the reason behind their breakup was almost groundless.
right person, wrong time. that gestures of tying her shoelace to let her be happy, even it's not with him. I hope they meet again in another drama, kim taeri and namjoohyuk chemistry is top tier. choosing theirselves and letting each other go, one of the bravest and selfless thing they can do for each other in that time. growing apart for baekdo was the best thing they can do for each other. 🥺
I love your comment
Him holding onto her lace after he's already done tying it, holding onto any little bit of her while he still can 😭 in that tiny moment he reminds me of a little kid, just holding on
Yes and his tears that falls on her shoe! That’s what got me! Perfect timing and perfect illustration of his deep sorrow!
I don't think that there will be a scene like this in any kdrama which touches the heart so deeply through the dialogues and performance.
the acting is too real...the way taeri holds that cry inside her its so hard to do and she nailed it.....u can feel the pain in her crying like its the last time
I couldn't stop crying after this scene for days.
This is one of the most heart aching break ups I have ever experienced and I am still struggling to get over. Kim Taeri and Nam Joohyuk performances are crazy and shows how new love built on unconditional faith is difficult to maintain without communication. Their love began on the promise of happiness so it’s understandable that once it starts to get broken repeatedly, love has reached its limit. I’m glad it was at least on good terms. It’s exactly what Jaurim’s 2521 reality is, capturing the moment where pure love burnt bright but short. The bittersweet memories help you mature and its innocence is something you can recall when times are tough. I just hoped that they at least tried and failed at this first hurdle after supporting, depending on and not wanting to lose each other. Surely if it hurts this much, it’s worth fighting to work it out 😭
It’ll be worth the sacrifice when you truly respect and love the person whatever shortcomings they might have in the past. It seems Baek Yijin needs more support and understanding on the traumatic experiences he has gone through in New York. If only he communicated that with Heedo earlier on but you just can’t deny a persons pain for that simple reason! TwentyFiveTwentyOne need to have an extension on how these two people can resolve that issue!
Most memorable heartbreaking scene ever. This scene is so painful to watch yet the story line is so realistic. Both kim taeri & nam joohyuk excellently delivered this. Unconditional love
I agree. But during this stage, I understand it was hard for Back Yijin to process the trauma in NY. Just wished Heedo didn't get married so soon and would reconnected with Yijin at least as friends after her retirement.
@@nerisac637 exactly. She married so soon and had a baby so quick too. Don't get me wrong. I could have understood better if the both broke up now to face their career while they still maintained their friendship once in awhile and be like you know what let's just be friends again till later on in our lives and if after am about to retire, you still available, then we are more matured to make it work back. After all they made it look like she also has a busy schedule right in now in her life and won't have time for relationship that much. They made their characters put in so much work that breaking everything up within few hiccups didn't make any sense to me at all. Her mum can bring Yijin back from new york after some few years like she did after the seven years which won't even be up to sevens year if he was still with her. they could re unite back. She obviously still very Young and could do that much.
@@mesolehelen6088 Yes, it's about the blurry life of Heedo from aged 29 to present and even naming her workshop 25 21 that is not helping the audience move on. Also, I think it would have been hard for a topnotch athlete to win back to back gold medals after giving birth. Ugh, the frustration for that rushed ending.
“from strangers to friends, friends into lovers, and strangers again."
I was hoping for a happy ending finale, but that's just life. You don't always end up with your first love; you grow up, forget about it, and move on. But the people you meet along the way, will always be a part of who you are today.
Strangers again but this time with memories🥺
A whole Celeste song 😅💔🥺 they should've played it as the soundtrack.
It takes courage to love wholeheartedly and perhaps even more courage to let go when it no longer works. As much as it hurts to acknowledge as an audience member, as I love the two characters too much, I can’t deny that we were given an amazing portrait of strength beautifully rendered by Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk.
Agree 💯
True :,)
yess
@Thomas Santa it was a neglect in Yijin part. He is having his own personal issue and his communication to Heedo was lacking. Hee Do just felt left out and neglected because Yijin never shared anything to her anymore. Even her support to him became a burden to Yijin because they simply lived in different world different situation. Yijin were occupied in his own work and death news all the time, he was depressed and refused to talk about his problems. Hee do just felt she is becoming stranger to Yijin’s world that any words to comfort him, just could not reach him anymore. I’m sure they both love each other, it’s just distance makes everything harder for them to communicate heart to heart. My guess is, Yijin’s love language is physical touch and Heedo is words of affirmation. 😊
@Thomas Santa You never fall in love , do you? This is a realistic ending where love is not enough to save a relationship, even though they loved each other. It needs more than pure love
Went from stage denial to directly stage depression. It ending in just 2 episodes felt like a slap to my face. Yes i get the message they were trying to potray and seeing the ending, i wish they would have stayed friends. What confuse me is how easily their relationship broke. They were so much stronger than this and had gone through alot. If only they gave it a try one more time. In the end, he chose his career and she chose not to live a life full of waiting (but ended up marrying someone who's away from home just like yijin so it was all for nothing.) Yiin applying asa correspondent in NY without talking to heedo about it first felt so out of character. I refuse to believe that a man who would without hesitation take a bullet for heedo would give up so easily. Ya'll will argue that he wanted to become a great reporter but he couldve become one while staying in Korea. LOVE needs SOME sacrifices. U can't always have it ur way. They both gave up too easily. If the breakup started at around ep 13, i still would have been prepared. But the whole drama revolved around their beautiful relationship only for it to end so badly. I know ya'll will say it makes it more beautiful and bittersweet, but in MY opinion, i felt so distant from yijin and heedo. they werent the same characters they were till ep 13. This kdrama couldve been THE best but the ending in my opinion took out 2 points out of 5. But all in all, thank you NJH and KTR for the beautiful acting and scenes that i will cherish forever.
I agree wholeheartedly. Till epi 13 he was all in it but at the end his career was more important than her..It's not like they were dating for years either. Also he never shared his feelings with her , I'm so disappointed with that. When things started to get tough, they broke up. So this proves that their relationship was to only to make them happy. Love is about being together in the good & the bad times. The writer just wanted a sad ending for the heck of it.
Blame the writer for ruining the character's growth 💔 that's what really frustrates me coz suddenly, the characters that we love so much and the qualities that made them lovable got ruined all because the writer is so determined to give the story a sad ending. To somehow show that in reality nothing lasts forever 😑😤
I don't mind if they don't end up together as long as they stayed in character because Yijin & Heedo and their love is probably the best characters ever written in all kdrama history (let's just forget about ep 16)
Same. If Yijin was too much into his career, he would not make time for Heedo at all but he was visiting her after his shift. The rushed ending and open ended questions spoiled the beautiful buildup of the story.
IMO...the break up was not out of character ...it’s not just wanting to be a good reporter that broke him...it’s being in the middle of hell on earth that did that. This was 9/11 where the tragedy continued on for months and created a huge impact in the world. He was right in the middle of that coming face to face with people he couldn’t really help. It’s a huge trauma for a sensitive empathetic person like Yijin to be in the midst of this tragedy that it was completely changing him. It created this need in him to be involved in the greater events of the world, to make a difference. The problem is it was also within his character to carry his burden alone...so as not to affect anyone else he loves. It’s like suddenly getting plunged into a great trauma...you end up being different. His priorities in life changed...he needed to work this out and probably would be able to...he did eventually go home to be an anchor which makes him less of a frontline person. What made it not work is the combination of Heedo that was dealing with her own personal demons, her childhood trauma of being left alone and abandoned by her mom. If this was another person without this experience they may be able to be patient and wait , eventually getting tired and bitter as well because they don’t know how it feels until they experienced it. But Heedo knew by experience that she won’t be happy, she knew she would simply grow to resent him. What makes this break up beautiful for me, is they did it before they started to hate each other and grow out of love. Doing it this early they stopped hurting each other, they stopped the inevitable guilt constantly eating at them and they can move on keeping their beautiful memories alive. But of course we don’t know how it truly ended Cos for me Heedo’s situation in the present was very vague. We know she doesn’t live with Minchaes father...are they still married? We know she has a shop named 2521...was she truly able to move on from Yijin or did she continue carrying a torch for him. Her mother is still in touch with Yijin, can they possibly get back together? What will finding the diary do for Heedo? In coping with this ending I’ve chosen to imagine that the diary might open a way for Heedo to reach out to Yijin and they might eventually find a way to start again...this thought is comforting for me...🙂
Agreed cent percent
Tbh with you guys..,,,I wouldn’t have been this heartbroken with the ending if they Hee Do and Yi Jin were not played by Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk. I’ve watched hundreds of dramas so I’m quite okay with bittersweet endings but this was different. They played their character so well and the chemistry was just so outstanding that it just made sense for them to be together. They really embodied Hee Do and Yi Jin. It was shown in the BTS just how much they added to these characters through their improves. They had so much fun making the drama that we as fans felt it through that final takes!! I hope this will not be the last drama of them together! 🥰
I shouldve left right after Yijin's character was introduced, but i didnt because both Kim Tae Ri & Nam Joo Hyuk instantly captivated me with their portrayal of HeeDo & Yijin since the peeing boy statue incident, i forgot they were actors right there and then.
Thanks for this insight. Yes it's probably why people are so affected because they literally fell in love with the Heedo and Yijin that came out of Kim Taeri and Nam Joo Hyuk. Reading from their interviews, KTR prepared by learning fencing, getting a good skin regimen, and getting inspiration for teenage looks from a UK teenage series. She said Nam Joo Hyuk also gave his own input for Yijin and it was quite different from the Yijin she read on the script. So they really gave a lot of effort and preparation for this series.
But overall, I still blame the rushed ending and open ended questions for the unsatisfactory ending.
You said everything right. I too thought the same, I would not be so affected if these characters were portrayed by other actors.
Both Taeri and Joo Hyuk are such dedicated actors,I forgot for a while that Hee do and Yijin were only fictional characters.
This was so sad but it’s one of the best scenes imo, their acting is topnotch, their cries proved they were still yearning for each other but
I kinda knew this show was going to end in this way. So i was quite prepared for this. But there's just something about this particular scene, the acting is just sooo real. The little detailing and timing of the actors make the scene a masterpiece. I couldn't hold my tears. I started crying uncontrollably. This scene is one of the most brilliant scenes in kdrama history. Period.
Went thru same thing. I Thot. I was prepared. But then to no avail. Broke down like them as well as if I was the one who going thru. I mean what could be worst for someone that experience heartbreaks before. 2521 got me.
@@muizz6681 same.. right after the end of episode 10 I knew this show is not going to do any fan service by giving them so called "happy ending".. so i was absolutely prepared for this breakup. But then i started crying like some automated machine.. this show got too real for me in certain scenes ❤️❤️
same, this drama is famous for its heartbreaking ending... never thought I'd break down in tears at 1 in the morning after finished it tho, few dramas hit like that. I can't describe how good it is.
Its clear in the 4th episode itself that they are not the end game when the present year female lead and her mother have a conversation by seeing the old photo.
The acting of both Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk was so realistic, it felt like they both are really crying at the breakup of Na Hee Do and Baek Yi Jin. Never felt like it was just acting, rather their sadness came directly from their heart. It makes me tear up every single time. The way Baek Yi Jin hugs, pacifies and calls "Hee Do ya" is absolutely heart touching.
When I first saw this scene, it broke my heart for real. It was like a real break up and I couldn’t even breathe properly. My heart feels so heavy. It’s so realistic. I mean they knew they had to let each other go because they do not want to hurt each other more. That is understandable for a relationship which started from friendship because it is the best foundation of any romantic relationship. You may not get it at first because of frustration but eventually you will because this is how a coming of age drama should end. Showing a message about “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
OMG this!!!!💯💔 Its painful but their love was indeed still beautiful even in heartbreak…
I was trying so hard to forget that this ending ever happened and here we have Swoon, rubbing salt to our injury😌
One of the most heartbreaking moment in kdrama history. Until today, our heart still broken & painful. BaekDo will always and forever be our fav couple.
After watching this series I have come to realize the main message is timing is everything. The times broke BJN’s family apart and gave NHD the opportunity to become a fencing star. The times gave BJN the opportunity to become a real news reporter. The times gave these two to each other when they needed it the most and the times drove these two apart. Nothing lasts forever other than their memories and that is most beautiful lesson this drama teaches us about life to cherish the good times because we don’t know when there will be a last.
The fact that his nose got stuffed up shows he was really emotional…this raw talent that these 2 beautiful human beings showed us is out of this world.
it's almost been a week... i'm never getting over this drama i swear
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm with you on this
I all time back here
Please do watch Scarlet heart ryeo and goblin too you will feel in the same way
it's more than a half year later... I'm still not over this drama..
This is the best way this relationship could ever end. Mature and very pure. I'm not mad about the ending, I feel just sad. I already knew they wouldn't end together, that's why I'm not mad lol. This is the kind of love all of us must feel at least once, even if it hurts
I clicked knowing that the pain will still be there… too soon 😭😭 they had that ‘one of a kind’ love! 💔❤️🩹
I understand the frustrations and heartbreaks of the viewers watching this drama including myself. Even Kim Tae Ri admitted she hated the ending too. But to be fair with the writers, they left hints suggesting they won’t end up together. As much as I wanted them to end up together, it only made sense for these two to break up. The amount of stress they’re dealing from constant disappointments of broken promises is not healthy anymore. Hee Do is always waiting, compromising, and that’s what she’s been doing all her life from her relationship with her mom. Yi Jin always apologizing, never on time, and just shows up whenever he can. They have already been growing apart little by little and their relationship is not as supportive as before. I loved the fact that they took the courage to face the reality that no matter how much they still LOVED each other, it’s not working out so rather than holding on to an unhealthy relationship they chose to let each other go. That to me is TRUE LOVE. It takes a lot of courage to let go of someone you love deeply in order to free them from the pain and wishing them happiness even if it meant you’re not part of that happiness anymore. I really enjoyed watching this series. It reminded me so much of my HS days including nostalgia of living int the 90s. I am officially a fan of Nam Joo Hyuk after this drama. Kim Tae Ri couldn’t play her part better. She nailed it so much it’s astonishing knowing how much age gap she and her character had. Hopefully these two can do another project in the future!
Perfectly said. We should remember that when BYJ was wavering, he worried that he would disappoint NHD. He wanted to make the world better and reunite his family. She wanted to be champion while not reliving her childhood. They both showed incredible heart to let one another go. Incredible drama.
Wholeheartedly agree. It hits home for so many people because of how real it is. And it’s better than some fairy tale ending because it shows how real life is, and that there can still be beauty from a right person, wrong timing relationship
🥺🥺💟💟👏👏👏
Read a lot of reddit comments claiming that the writer butchered the characters and this is unlike Heedo and Yijin but that just tells me that they didn't watch the drama closely. This was bound to happen and the writer was careful enough to set it up from the start of the drama. Heedo's problem with Yijin has always been that he would never open up to her, and even to the end, he did not. For good reason though, he didn't want to put his burden onto her. He wanted to protect her as he always had. They love each other but they just aren't compatible, they have different ideas of love, and that's why it hurts so much.
Yup this was very much in character...they built their character up in this show so we would understand. The way Yijin empathizes too much with others...how he promised those people his father owes money to that he will never be happy...the way he tried to help everyone in the squad at different times...making their problems his. This just shows how deeply he would feel the 9/11 tragedy and how it would change his priorities...he would need therapy and a lot of time before he would prioritize his own happiness. That’s why he didn’t want Heedo to share that burden...he loves her too much. Also Heedo...remember she also tries to turn tragedy to comedy So she can move on? Well that would be impossible to do if she stayed with him at this time of their life...she would be miserable...so totally in character for her to choose to let go of him as well. That’s why I love this drama and what the writer did. You really have to pay attention to the many details to understand why this happened.
@@marissamcwhiter9381 yes.absolutely right... thank you 🙏🙏🙏 kdrama watchers need to pay attention more while watching shows. I know most of them watch to escape reality and blah blah but this show was special.. it needed attention to the dialogues and characters.. it's not the writer's fault that viewers were making up stupid theories to get so called "happy ending"
One of the best comments I’ve read. Very well said. People blamed the writer only because the ending wasn’t something they’d hoped for. I’ve watched many kdramas and 25 21 is definitely one of my top 5s. It’s well written and the script has prepped audience well on their characters and eventually the break-up, only if you paid meticulous attention to the characters and their dialogues, and perhaps have gone through the era of 2000 (and 911) or have experienced similar situations as the protagonists do. This ending, in my opinion, was as realistic as it could be. I actually think it doesn’t make sense if they stayed together cos this type of relationship definitely wouldn’t last long. I am from that generation as the protagonists (I was exactly at Yi Jin’s age in the time that this drama was set in) so I can relate well. The only fall short for me is that I wish there could just be 1 extra episode for us to see more of their love before the relationship started going downhill because their love was just too beautiful.
Agree . Probably those grew up or youth that era would relate better. Yi Jin character was as close as many gen x traits, which one of it is not talking about their burden or problems.
😂😂😂
Okay. I'm in pain... again. The fact that they just met to make memories together but not ending up and spend the rest of their lives together. How can I possibly move on if this really broke my heart? But their break up really shows that they truly love each other because they don't want to hurt each other anymore. I feel like I'm stabbed with tons of knives because of the ending. 😭😭😭
Give NAM JOO-HYUK AND KIM TAE-RI A DRAMA AGAIN!!!!!! THEY DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING!!!! 🥺❤️
Bestie, here I am still crying. I cry every night since the finale. It's the first time I ever get so emotionally immersed into a kdrama, and for the one time that I did, I ended up with a broken heart 😭. I don't know if I'll ever recover from this trauma. I'm afraid to even start a new kdrama now to get over this one. What do I do now 😭😭😭
@@IllSmackYou Same, it caused me trauma. It still hurts me until now.
I'm emotionally attached to it so I'm pretty well traumatized. It affects my scheduling, instead of doing my pending works I’m just spacing out and think of the ending and cry. But actually watching other drama can help you to move on, watch some funny kdramas so it can somehow ease the pain. Bestie, you can do this!!! ❤️
@@sincerelyaudrie Aaaaw thank you for the support ! You're so sweet ! As you suggested, I'm gonna start a funny drama. Not a romantic one, nor a melodrama one, just funny. It'll help me heal. Thank bestie 🥺, hope you'll be fine too. Wish you all the best 💗
This will forever go down as one of the most devastating break up scene ever in my books. I literally felt like I was going through a break up. It’s been days and I’m still recovering after watching it ❤️🩹
I’m still heartbroken over the ending, anyone else? 😔✋🏼
Feeling the pain for this “one last time” but will have love for each other forever
I am also 😭💖💖
My eyes were sweating profusely 😔🤚
We will be forever. Unfortunately. Just have to get used to it .
Yes its sad they couldn’t continue to be friendly after the break up...but I think this simply means that the feelings are still there so it’s difficult to be casual and friendly. Perfectly illustrated by the conversation between Yijin and Seungwan when she asked him if he wants to hear about his ex...he said he’ll just hear it in the news. It was still too painful for him. This is the tragedy of it all...their love was not easy to get over. I’m sure they didn’t expect that...
Same here!!! Seriously heartbroken watching episode 16. The breakup scene is too painful especially when Yijin tied her shoelaces and their last hug. Most painful & memorable breakup scene ever. Both Hee Do & Yijin acting were so real
This was the part where i couldn't hold it anymore. Nam Joo Hyuk can really cry so easily, when his men's tears dropped to the ground, it literally made me broke down
The amount of pain I had while watching this whole scene was unbearable. Purely heartbreaking because we know they still love each other. 💔🥺
I hope Tae-ri and Joo-hyuk were okay after filming this scene, because seemed to cross over that line of just acting, it looks as if they both really got emotional ❤️
acting sounds exhausting to me, because you have to put some of yourself in it for it to be authentic, but it would be superhuman to be able to just stop feeling after they yell cut. it’s beautiful too though because you get to make connections and moments with people for a short time and then move on to the next thing. kind of like in this show.
The fact that they didnt include this scene in the making film, for me at least, was enough reason to believe that it was probably the hardest filming both had to pull through. They must've been a sobbing mess afterwards. They were human before actors.
True 💯 i really feel their emotions
This is by far, so far the most heartbreaking scene I've watched in kdramas!! The sheer brilliance of this scene OH MY GOD! It was impossible not to cry here!! Nam Joo Hyuk & Kim Tae Ri are OUTSTANDING ACTORS 👏👏
I'm gonna need to join that therapy session too with Baek Yi Jin after this 💔🥺😭
me too
probably the hardest and most heartbreaking goodbye in kdrama 💔😭
This scene, for me is more of painful than the fighting scene because they realize at the moment it is their last time. Sweet yijin tied up her shoelace. Both crying like crazy. I can’t😭
The most heartbreaking goodbye in kdrama history 😭😭
1:08 The fact that she subtly admitted that she had run around looking for him instead of 0:00
KTR and NJH were made for their roles. Every single nuance of emotion was perfectly delivered.
You know what makes it sadder? That these heartbreaking moments happen in real life. There are so many stories ended where they still love each other and in the end, it’s like they never wrote the first chapter together.
Might be one of the most powerful break up scenes I've seen in any Kdrama.
their love was the most purest, realistic and heartwarming love I had watched on kdrama. tying her shoelace meaning "I'm letting you go, to be happy because you deserve it." I hope baek yi jin and na hee do are now happy in their lives now. wishing them the best and the things they deserve! thank you baekdo for teaching us to love genuinely and bravely! 🥺🤍
This is the perfect example of "if you truly love someone, set them free..." 💔
I cried a lot when Heedo and Yijin broke up but when they said goodbye it broke my heart 😭💔💔💔🌾 This drama taught me that love is also letting go ✨🌾
Me too. Cried so lot😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This deserves the most heartbreaking scene award of 2022
I know many disliked the ending, including me, since we all thought it was too rushed to get to a bad ending. I even started to doubt if the drama was good when someone asked if I would recommend them watching it. But rewinding all the past episodes reminded me of how passionate the drama is. I’m still a teenager and I deeply felt the excitement to enjoy my youth and follow my dreams(as if I have one🤥). It spiked me that these days will be one of the best times in life and I should enjoy the fullest out of it. The best memories in life may not be the endgame after all, but the fact that it was one of the best moments in life never fades away. And that’s why this drama still deserves a raise. It was such a beautiful and heartwarming drama. Thank you to the whole 2521 team for delivery such a heartfelt message to the audience.
hands down one of the most unforgettable scenes in a kdrama!! i break down crying every. single. time 😭 kim taeri and nam joohyuk did a superb job, can't imagine other actors nailing this scene.
This broke my heart. Brilliant show.
I love them sm. And I love that she tells him not to drink a lot and to go to therapy. Emotional maturity. Definitely cried a lot this episode, was a lot to take in but I'm so grateful for this story ❤
Why do I like to suffer like this? I'm trying to move on from that finale yet here I am, clicking knowing how sad the scene was 😭. I cried a lot on the 3 last episodes. I understand what the message was but still, it was painful to see their goodbyes for the last time :(
Yes, me too. 😭
I did the same 😭😭😭 knowing that I would cry, and I am indeed crying buckets 😭
No kdrama or even movie couple has effected me this much by their fictional break up.
I can't even watch this video because it's that painful lmao.
This kdrama broke my heart in thousand pieces. It made me get super excited every weekend, I'd wake up early to watch every episode as soon as possible and then interact with the community about it. The ending just teared me apart. I know it's a "realistic" ending but I'm a hopeless romantic so I really wanted them to end up together #SorryNotSorry
Its been a while after the last episode..but still sometimes I get flashbacks of this scene and my eyes get teary. It will take a long time to move on from this break up scene.
BEST KDRAMA EVER
exactly....
i love this scene so much. this is the most honest and raw break up scene i've ever watched
you know its one of the most heartbreaking scene when tears could flow just like that. Their crying is all natural thanks to the actors i love you guys so much you deserve all the awards you could get !!
Tbh this is the first time I've seen this scene clearly cause when I first saw this I was just crying the whole time that I don't even understand what they are saying anymore.
It is normal to keep crying everytime i watch this clip??
Just did.✋🏻 Ive probably watched this 4-6 time here on YT i dunno why i put myself thru too much hard times… 😂🤦🏻♀️
The most painful break up goodbye scene in Kdrama history. I can’t even rewatch it, still heartbreaking 💔
why did i cry so much while watching this scene?? wow, im so upset i finished the drama, we need another Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk project, highly unlikely. anyone else feel sad after finishing a whole drama, knowing you wont be able to watch anymore of it or wait for the next episodes to come?
OMG break my heart over & over again, The Swoon 😭 I was just forgetting about this scene today, and you just had to remind me that it still existed. Thankful for this series for all the ups and downs 💔
this drama is reminiscent of what I went through 15 years ago. even though it was my first love, I should have accepted the fact that we were not destined to be together. from friend to lover, and from lover to stranger. but it all taught me the meaning of pain, love, sorrow and happiness ..
I felt both their pain on such a deep level, seeing two people still love each other but can't be together due to lifestyle is the most heartbreaking thing to ever happen. I love this drama so much and will definitely be at the top of my list for the best dramas I've ever watched ❤
This one scene right here hurt me in so many different ways. It was like as if I was breaking up with my loved one. I have cried watching such scenes in many dramas but never felt as if I was the one who is doing that until this one.
Great acting portrayed by both Kim tae ri and Nam joo hyuk.
I gained strength to watch this clip again. Gosh. (break from compre review). Well, I cried a lot when I watched this the first time. Now, I just realized that even if you loved each other deeply like you never did before, there is one thing stronger than that. CHOICE. Love is a choice. An everyday decision in spite of.
Thank you, 2521. You are the best K-drama so far that I have watched since I started.
This drama deserves best drama, best couple, and best ost of the year!!!!
Their acting is so natural 😭
This drama makes you feel so many things, You really root for them but then you realise the realities of life and you have to let go of so many things in life. This was such an enlightening yet wholesome drama. Back yi jin and Na hee do are love. ♥️ I'm so happy that I went ahead and watched the drama Although I knew that it was going to be a bad ending.
Hey is english dubbed version available for this web series?
This drama is unique in its own way,it just really brings us to reality and thats heartbreaking 😭😭
The Good Lesson in this Series : Cherished the moment while you have him/her in your life you never know he/she disappear soon. 😢
It took me a good few days to soothe myself after watching this scene. It felt as if I am the one breaking up. But it is for the better as their differences were irreconcialable at that point of their lives. They loved without regret, supported each other through tough times and their break up led them to greater heights in their careers which they dreamt of. Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri's acting is authentic; exceptional. And this drama's OSTs, the timing when they are played, are perfection. The poigbant break up makes 2521 even more memorable. It is a classic (despite the hiccups in the story line from Episides 14 to 16). This is my closure 💓
Even though this was the most heartbreaking scene 😭 , still can't deny the fact that they shared the purest love. I LOVE THEM 😍 smch, but the pain (sigh😔) will always linger. 스물다섯 스물한 명 🤺
i watched 20+++ kdramas after 2521 but i still cant get over this scene 😭😭😭
In a interview Tae Ri mention that Nam Joo Hyuk reccommend Dear H by 015B to Kim Tae Ri as his letter for HeeDo. Ahh after check the lyrics it did describe about their relationship. Even tho it didn't end as we expected it would be, however BAEKDO is a PHENOMENAL PAIRING. T-T 💕💕💕
You know this scene would make you cry yet you re watch it again cause it's painstakingly beautiful but heartbreaking 💗😭
Guinness Book should have recorded the most number of people who were heartbroken because of this scene. 🤧😭
I will never, as in NEVER will get over with this heartbreaking scene. I can't stand seeing them specially Yijin in deep pain.😭😭😭 Why can't you make them happy for once, they really deserve it. 😭😭 Nam Joohyuk and Kim Taeri have given their characters truly a justice. Hope they will received an award for this.
KTR's crying is so real here...you feel her pain...you just cannot not cry 😭😭
i feel all the feelings but specially pain. for real i cried so much on this scene that i feel like im the one who went through a break up 😭
nam joo hyuk and kim tae ri deserves an award for their great acting on this series 👏🏻
In their cry there are so many pain are hidden 😭 i literally cry everytime whenever i see this scene 😭
before 2521, 2001 is just a normal year to me, now it literally marks a heartbreaking year in my life
This drama has a lot of so many good memories to keep me hanging on to. The actings were top notch, Nam Joo Hyuk never fails to deliver both visuals and talent even without exploiting or delving into his sexiness, Kim Tae Ri is such a delight to watch, her ability to express emotions in any spectrum is really laudable, the other characters are also unbelievably talented, not missing any chance to showcase their contribution to the drama, and I specially love the ending for Bona and Choi Hyun Wook, for staying together despite the circumstances, which I sincerely hoped would be the case for our main lead as they’ve been the original ones who had to go through so much adversities. The ending left me broken for this drama, it made me yearn for a happy resolve like what I’m used to seeing in all the kdramas I’ve watched over the years. This could’ve been easily my all time favorite series, but the ending left me broken in pieces😍😘🙏🥰❤️🩹
it's been 6 months but i still bawl when i watch this help me 😭😭😭😭
WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU STAY 😢 Please another Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk drama/movie please with a happy ending of course.
Tell me why Nam Joo Hyuk wasn't nominee for Baeksang Best Actor this year when he nailed this scene? His acting on this scene is a REAL TALENT.
I bawled my eyes out this scene. It still hurts when i see this scene, even when i'm typing this i'm getting teary eyed.
This scene - one of the best if not the best Ive seen. I felt it in my bones I was bawling I didnt know how to stop.. I felt like I wanna have a say too! They cant just breakup like that! How about us?! Its not only them who’s invested in it, We’re invested in it too.. 😢😢
2521 will always be a warm yet realistic drama for me.
They gonna be deep inside my heart, for a long time. Hard for me to move on from them...
Thank you for showing me a wonderful storyline and amazing chemistry between you guys!!
Love 2521 forever !!
I have never cried so so so much watching a kdrama until i watch 2521 last eps. The pain is real 😭
Most heartbreaking scene in kdrama yet the actors executed it perfectly,well deserved award for best actress and actor.
Gahhh cried again 😢 I’m going through so many emotions still even though so many days have passed because their love wasn’t just romantic it was beyond that which is why it’s hard to see them not end up together 💔 Their love story grew organically and beautifully every week. Watching the drama the writers made it clear that these two wouldn’t be endgame but I completely overlooked those signs because their love was so pure and warm! It was like I was in denial the whole time and I was forgetting the message the drama wanted to convey about youth, memories, and first loves and so much more! If I think about it through the writers eyes they wrote every episode perfectly even the last one it all makes sense in the end ! They supported each other when they needed each other the most and because they were in each other’s life they were both able to achieve their dreams in the end ! No one can take away those moments they had with other or the fact that they were each other’s first love ! Even in the breakup scene they breakup so beautifully because that’s how much love and respect they have for each other that letting go of each other is the right decision for them to be at peace ! Both were suffering and decided to end it when they were still in love instead of continuing and later on holding grudges towards each other 😢 uggh I still would of wanted them to end up together no matter what 😭❤️🥹 hands down one of the BEST Kdramas everrr !!!! It’s on my top even though it left me heartbroken it shows me how much of an impact it has had on my life ! I hope both actors win all the awards they deserve it !!!
This drama had such a beautiful and hear warming meaning, and this scene was everything! They meant sooo much to eachother and felt them being away from eachother was best cause they cared for eachother and wanted them to be happy. This last hug shows that how much they still care for eachother and will always support eachother even if they are not together. Every single dialogue had such deep meaning, a masterpiece indeed. This drama made me cry, laugh and made my heart warm! Gonna miss 2521 sooo muchhhh💖💖💖
Here because I just finished watching this show. It was excellent. It was true to life. People don't always end up with their first love but that person impacts you forever. So relatable!
this series is so sad, and somewhat depressing.... but teach us the art of letting go... not all break ups necessarily be falling out of love, sometimes break ups lead to gives each party a kind of nourishing individually. 25 21 is a series that gives you a different kind of heart break attack that will surely you don't know it is coming..
my heart is still aching. i cannot move on :( please give taeri and joohyuk more dramas together please
If they have ended up together sacrificing what they worked hard for , the love they have even after a life would have changed. They just chose to take different paths and keep loving each other . I think that's why those memories always skip a heartbeat. ♥️
Kim taeri's acting is really 🙌🙌
I can really feel her emotions🥺😍
meeting the right person at the wrong time is still the wrong person. when it's right, everything will fall into place. sometimes, people will just come to our lives to be a lesson, a memory, someone to shaped us to be the better person we can be. those people will leave a mark, a scar perhaps and it may never heal.
Omg, this is the most heartbreaking scene of this drama for me. I’m sure these two actors took several minutes to recover after shooting this scene. 😢
What a masterpiece this drama is. Its amazing how much they made me cry and i don't remember the last time a kdrama made me feel so many things. I couldnt sleep and all i couldnt think about was them. It was an absolute pleasure to watch this drama regardless of the ending. They taught me the definition of love, i cried so many tears and yes it was so painful to watch the last episode, but still it was beautiful. The writers and BaekDo couple needs a standing ovation. 👏
this is so sad, its been a week since this drama ended and the pain is still here. :(
