Twenty Five Twenty One actress Kim Tae-ri has shared her thoughts on the age gap between her character’s and her romantic interest in the series.Following the recent conclusion of the tvN and Netflix K-drama Twenty Five Twenty One, Kim spoke to Newsen about her role as Na Hee-do and her thoughts on the high school athlete’s romantic relationship with journalist Baek Yi-jin (Nam Joo-hyuk), who is four years older.While the two characters only officially begin their a romantic and physical relationship after Hee-do was of age, with her initiating, the series has garnered some criticism for featuring the growing feelings between a high schooler (18) and a working adult (22).“These are aspects that we discussed a lot when I first read the script and were in the process of talking about our characters.
We thought of it as something we had to approach carefully,” said the 31-year-old actress, as translated by Soompi.“Honestly, from Hee-do’s perspective, this wasn’t something to pay a lot of attention to.
However, from the perspective of Nam Joo-hyuk acting as Baek Yi-jin, it was a really important aspect.”“We constantly were in discussions with the director and writer,” Kim added. “The director also thought a lot about how to approach this from a directing standpoint with the actors.
I think that’s how we gradually created [their relationship], one-by-one.”Twenty Five Twenty One appeared on Netflix’s Global Top 10 list of the most-watched non-English shows for several weeks throughout its run, peaking at Number Two with a total of 24.1million hours viewed for the week of March 21 to 27.
