## Reception

### Reviews and Ranking

During the eight weeks of broadcast, *Twenty-Five Twenty-One*, Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk maintained the top spots in drama and actors popularity rankings conducted by Good Data Corporation. The series also placed first in viewership ratings for all its 16 episodes, in both the metropolitan area and nationwide. Additionally, it featured in Netflix's "Global Top 10" (non-English edition), a weekly list of the most-watched international Netflix shows, for 10 consecutive weeks (as of the week ending May 1, 2022). The drama's success was attributed to its "retro-sentimental" vibe that was presented through the use of props, fashion, and locations that were able to invoke nostalgia to the generation that experienced the 1990s. It was also stated that it had succeeded in gaining the empathy and sympathy of viewers as it depicts the struggles of the IMF period in Korea, which viewers connected with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Pierce Conran, in his review for the *South China Morning Post*, stated that the show had "an appealing theme, a story that is well told, great acting and clever staging and editing". Rhian Daly of *NME* described the drama as "a nostalgic dive into the memories of youth and the value of dreams."

### Commercial impact

The popularity of the series led to the elevated recognition for actress Kim Tae-ri, who was stated to have emerged as the new "Nation's First Love." The series was also notably popular among K-pop idols, with several artists, including BTS' Jungkook, Aespa's Karina, Red Velvet's Yeri, Girls' Generation's Sooyoung, Blackpink's Lisa, sharing that they have watched it and recommending it to their fans. Actor Gong Yoo also revealed that he watched the series *Twenty-Five Twenty-One* when he recommended his fans to watch *My Liberation Notes*.

Following the drama's conclusion, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism launched a travel product (itineraries alongside various accommodation and rental vouchers) touring the filming locations of the series, which includes the Jeonju Hanok Village, locations surrounding the Seohakdong Art Village, and the Hanbyeokgul Tunnel where the drama was shot. Retail company 7-Eleven reported that sales of its bakery brand Breadum had increased three-fold following the appearance of its pastry products on the show. The company then announced on April 7 that Breadum has launched two additional products in collaboration with the drama.

Investment company Daehan Securities has credited the success and high topicality of *Twenty-Five Twenty-One* alongside the recovery of television commercials for the 12% sales growth of CJ ENM, the parent company of broadcast channel tvN, during the first quarter of 2022.

With 2022 marking the renewed popularity of retro style in South Korea, *Twenty-Five Twenty-One* was stated to have greatly contributed to the "retro craze".

Following the appearance of the popular manhwa *Full House* in the show, its comic book set saw a sales growth of 1,044% in February 2022 (when the series started airing) which was followed by a 24.3% sales increase in March 2022 compared to the previous month.

In the Philippines, it was reported that the drama, with part of its plotline focused on fencing, led to an increased interest in the sport.

### Criticism

Despite its popularity and commercial success, *Twenty-Five Twenty-One* became subject to a few controversies. Netizens debated about the series' main plot line which involves romance between a legal adult and a character that is initially introduced as a minor, although a poll conducted on website Nate came out with 77% of over 3,000 respondents stating that there is no problem with the drama's love line. The drama also faced criticism for a scene in its 15th episode portraying a news coverage of the September 11 attacks, depicting the female lead smiling at her boyfriend giving live coverage of the incident, which some viewers deemed "inappropriate".

### Philanthropy

On August 19, 2022, lead actors Kim Tae-ri, Nam Joo-hyuk, Kim Ji-yeon, Choi Hyun-wook and Lee Joo-myung donated all proceeds made from the OST (₩50 million) to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association to help those affected by the 2022 South Korean floods.
