WORTH IT

2521 was beautiful. The acting was amazing, I was wrapped in it from the very first episode! A drama with so many feels, reminders, and lessons.

Following each character's story, watching them grow and evolve was really relatable. We witness each character go from carefree untouchable teens/young adults thriving in their own world to grown responsible adults with real situations in the real world. Each stage in their life molded them and we see it all. We see the hardships, the struggles, the laughs, the disappointments, the happy moments, and their own personal struggles. It's really hard not to get wrapped into each of their different journeys.

A lot of people were disappointed with the ending but I accepted it, it was realistic. Of course, it would have been amazing for the two of them to end up together, but does life really always work that way? A lot of things can change and affect the outcome of how life turns out, and their situation showcased that. It takes a different type of maturity and growth to walk away from something amazing to allow yourself and the other person to become the best person that they can be. Accepting and appreciating everything they taught you and moving on takes a lot of strength in itself.

My only complaint would be that the ending could have definitely been clearer so that we weren't left with unanswered questions.

In the end, every single character grew into the best possible version of themselves, whether it was with or without each other.

Give this kdrama a shot and there will be no regrets!

A MUST WATCH!

I LOVED THIS KDRAMA!! It's not your typical historical kdrama. Easily one of my top favorites!

Everything about this drama was amazing. I can't rave about this drama enough. The quality of the acting by the cast was just top-notch. I felt every single emotion they gave out. My eyes would automatically tear when it was an emotional scene, I laughed when they laughed and felt extremely moved constantly throughout. The action scenes were all captivating, there was never a moment when I was bored. There are tons of moments where your mouth will drop open and you feel that urge that makes you feel like you have to keep watching.

I loved how the drama revolved around strong deep-rooted relationships and friendships, it constantly emphasizes how being there for someone when it really counts prevails anything else. It also shows how not having a choice in where you are born into doesn't mean you don't have the power to becomes something great.

The only thing I would say is that I wish the ending was different, but I get why it ended the way that it did.

I would truly recommend this kdrama to anyone and everyone, even those who usually don't like historical.

An eye opener!

How well do you really know your family? How well do you really know your friends? How well do you really know your self?

These were the constant questions and eye-opening moments that popped up throughout the show. It was emotional to watch everyone's stories play out as a whole and as individuals, but beautiful to see it all turn around through true communication and understanding. Misinterpretations can constantly occur due to misccommunication. Growing up and growing old doesn’t mean that you know everything, there are constant lessons.

I loved this kdrama!! From the very first episode, I felt hooked and finished it in 2 days. It felt so real. It makes you think about your own life, look back on your own family, your own relationships, and yourself.

I RECOMMEND THIS KDRAMA TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE. You think the story will play out one way but then it turns out to be something completely different. It won’t be a disappointment. You will be hooked till the very last episode!

WORTH THE TEARS

This is my first CDrama and it was one of the most intriguing dramas that I've watched. It's relatable to our own lives, our own families, our own relationships, and our own growth. This drama really touched all the spots. It's emotional and made me cry almost every episode and at the same time funny, making me laugh every episode. It was light-hearted but at the same time very deep, with many life lessons and life reminders. It constantly showed how your decisions/actions can affect others for a short amount of time or a lifetime. How growing up won't stop those you care about from growing old. How everyone, in the end, deserves to be happy. Every character had their own story of trauma and growth. The acting was amazing, I was wrapped in from the very first episode! I would truly truly recommend this drama to everyone, it will surprise you how much you won't regret starting it.

I've never written a review for a kdrama before, but I JUST HAD to make one for this one.

This drama was honestly amazing, I couldn't stop watching it! It made me laugh, cry... laugh AND cry at the same time. I didn't expect this drama to be so deep and moving. It makes you look at your own life and reminds you of the things that you should already know but forget because of the busyness of just living your everyday life. It showed how life can take a toll on you when things get comfortable, how important it is to communicate because little misunderstandings can grow into something bigger, and how important it is to cherish those you care about because moments will become memories and the ones you cherish won't always be there. The importance of being in the moment because life flies by and you won't even realize it.

Time traveling is unrealistic but the acting made everything so believable that I didn't even care. The story line flowed beautifully. The main characters were amazing, as well as the supporting cast. The relationship between each one of them made it even more heartwarming.

I felt so many emotions watching this kdrama. Every time I cried, it was a different type of cry compared to when I would watch a typical romance kdrama. I felt like I understood the characters and how they felt, because its either I've actually been through what they were going through or I know I will be going through it in my own future.

I would 100% recommend it to everyone I can and re-watch it in the future.

I started this kdrama not expecting very much and it turned out to be so different from anything I've ever watched. IN SUCH AN AMAZING WAY! It was a great break from what kdramas typically are. I was so intrigued and wrapped into this drama, the acting, the story. ALL THE CLIFFHANGERS. I fell in love with the actors and actresses, the amount of emotion they were about to put across. I honestly would recommend this kdrama to anyone. If you need a break from the typical kdrama and want to watch a powerful story that goes head-on towards a lot of social issues that are happening in real life; cults, bullying, corruption, abuse, sexual abuse, etc. You will be wrapped in and not regret it.
