Kim Tae Ri And Nam Joo Hyuk Grow One Step Closer In "Twenty Five, Twenty One"

tvN has released new photos of Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk in “Twenty Five, Twenty One”!

“Twenty Five, Twenty One” is set in 1998 and tells the growth story of youth whose dreams are taken from them due to the IMF crisis. It also follows the romance between Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) and Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri), who first meet when they are 22 and 18 years old and fall in love when they meet again at age 25 and 21.

In Episode 2, Na Hee Do learned the heartbreaking story about how Baek Yi Jin’s family had been torn apart because of the IMF crisis. To make him feel better, she took him to her former school’s yard where she excitedly turned the outdoor sinks into fountains. The two are eventually forced to run away from the security guard and when they stopped to catch their breath, Na Hee Do innocently told Baek Yi Jin, “When it’s just us two, let’s be happy for a moment without anyone else knowing. This will be our secret.”

The newly released stills show how this moment has helped them take one step forward in their friendship. They’re shown shyly smiling at each other as they lock eyes and send each other silent messages of encouragement.

In front of Baek Yi Jin’s house, the two are also shown shaking hands, as if making a deal. The last photo shows the pair walking down the street with their arms around each other’s shoulders. As Na Hee Do is missing a slipper, her leg is tied to Baek Yi Jin’s so that she can walk on his shoes. Stay tuned to discover what exactly helps the pair open up to one another and how their relationship will develop from here!

On set, Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk were able to overcome the initially awkward and unfamiliar environment to transform into Na Hee Do and Baek Yi Jin, a duo that has grown to become thankful for each other. In addition to an incredibly detailed rehearsal, the two impressed with their great focus while filming the scene. Right after the take, the actors showcased their synchronization as they both ran over to monitor the scene and double-check their work.

Production company Hwa and Dam Pictures commented, “In the Episode 3 broadcast, the story of Na Hee Do and Baek Yi Jin’s developing friendship will unfold in a fun and emotional manner as they relate to each other’s pain. Please look forward to the broadcast where Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk’s emotional acting will shine as they transform into youth itself.”

tvN’s “Twenty Five, Twenty One” airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. KST.
