Ji Seungwan deserved so much better than what the show’s ending did to her.

A lot of us had issue with the 25 21 ending because of what happened with Baekdo, and rightfully so (god they deserved sm better - you guys probably know that Heerim was my OTP but a girl can multiship, okay??? Baekdo was so so cute), but what really gets me is Seungwan’s ending. I and everyone else who’s watched through the show know that the ending the writer was going for was one that showed that perfect endings just aren’t feasible, and of course they aren’t always - but her ending just felt so bleak. Seungwan had so much drive and passion, I really thought her subplot with dropping out of school (an absolute power move considering she was the class’s top student and benefited from the system) would go somewhere, same with her DJ show/podcast/thing - she’s always been so passionate about having the youth stand up for themselves instead of conforming and buckling to the harmful study culture in high schools. I really was rooting for her sm and wanted her to chase her passions and live life to the fullest. Her future career being so bleak and soul-sucking didn’t sit well with me, since her character was all about defying the monotony and bleakness of societal expectations. And then for her to reunite with Yijin’s younger brother and for the show to imply that they get together (i understand him having a puppy crush on her but why on Earth would she have any reason… I don’t get it)? No. That’s disrespectful as fuck to her character. Why imply that the entrance of this man (who she’s barely spoken to) in her life is the one thing that turns her life around and makes her happy? Even during the ‘field trip’ plot, where she said something like ‘I’ll wait for you’ to the younger brother made me so uncomfortable, that was just so out of character for her, and I could tell they were going to try shoehorn in that romance at the very end and was right. I hate it, I hate it so much. It’s the exact opposite of empowering, which is what her character was to me. Ji Seungwan my beloved you deserve so much better than this.

Oh my word!!! Ji-Woong. My man, he drove slowly, he wasn't afraid to say he was scared to drive and went back.

And when they lifted the car to park it. My kind of people lol.

They promised to be happy whenever they were together ... THEY PROMISED! and in the end, they became a burden to each other.

They promised to love each other, and in the end that love became their ruination.

She promised to make sure her support always reached him, but in the end ... It stopped doing that.

i want to see a sad/bittersweet ending for 25 21 because it would encourage a lot of fanfics and I want a ji woong - seung wan love story somewhere

the director obviously wants the audience to feel something there because they placed seung wan’s shot directly after ji woong and yu rim’s lovey dovey takes

i can look at it unromantically, where seung wan is not jealous of losing ji woong but is rather scared of being left behind once ji woong gets a girlfriend. seung wan wont have anyone to hang out with

but at  that age, how can she tell. she might actually interpret it as romantic jealousy and I want a fic for that

note, I find yu rim and ji woong cute

but seung wan is bored, and some romantic heartaches wont be so bad before she leaves her teens

Sometimes I think to myself "I won't watch the Saturday 2521 episode but instead wait to watch both the Saturday and Sunday episodes on Sunday", then Saturday arrives and I can't help myself. 😆🙈😆

That end credit scene where Baek Yi-jin was setting a new password and it asked what the name of his first love was and he typed

Na Hui-do

Yeah ...

It's nice, to meet a fan.

She browsed through Baekho's responses to her broadcasts. He has very thoughtful comments. Although it is weird that he's Baek Yi Jin's brother.

Although she wants to remain anonymous, she does wish she's surrounded by more people who are listening to her. She barely connects to her classmates. She has some interesting conversations with Mrs. Kim, but her literature teacher is a young mother and is always in a hurry to go home. Baek Yi Jin seem to be very deep, but she's somehow wary of the hump in his shoulders. Unlike his little brother, it looks like sunbae's worries have been also touched by reality. Philosophical emptiness is manageable, but reality is too hard. Like Ji Woong's problems. She cannot debate away his misunderstandings with his mother, nor people's prejudices of him. If Yurim continues to become a successful fencer and they get together, maybe people will give Ji Woong a chance. Yeah, a girlfriend could be beneficial for him.

Then maybe she could find a more like-minded group of people in university and not worry anymore.
