Morning.
Selamat berpuasaaa semuaaa. So semalam aku baru habis K-drama, more like k-trauma to some hshsh. Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Main lead dia Kim Tae-ri dengan Nam Joo-hyuk. Kim Tae-ri tak pernah tengok dia berlakon and kalau tengok genre previous movie/drama dia pun bukan genre yang aku minat. Nam Joo-hyuk pulak first tengok dia berlakon cerita Startup which unfortunately ramai orang tak suka dia jadi main lead sebab 2nd lead punya character overpower dia main lead punya character. Or sebab viewers bodoh kot tak faham beza main lead (muda, baru nak try itu ini, tak matang) dengan 2nd lead (in his thirties, know what he's doing, matang etc, kaya hshsh).
Anyway, bukan nak cerita pasal startup. Nak cerita pasal 2521. Episode 15 dengan 16 buat aku nangis teruk gila ya. Nangis sampai bengkak mata wey nasib baik work from home hshs. Taknak la letak ending kat sini even takde orang baca pun blog ni. Mana la tau orang came across this blog lepastu ternampak kan. Macam semalam la excited nak tengok episode 15 tiba tiba ternampak spoiler kat twitter siapa tah which aku tak follow pun tapi keluar kat suggested tweets. vavik betul.
2521 ni cerita pasal diorang punya zaman twenties. The transition they showed starting from middle school to high school, lepastu kerja. The reality of people with dreams, and people who didnt actually have a dream. Entah lah nak type ni tiba2 takde idea pulak. Padahal dah sampai on PC ni selalunya membuak2 hshsh.
All i wanna say is, Im glad that everything happened in my twenties, happened. Glad for the people who came by even not for long. Glad for all the memories be it joyful or not. Sure my twenties werent as reckless as the one in the drama, but it wasnt that bad either. Met so many great people. From being a loner, to having a group of friends, to having less. From crushes to first loves and breakups. Im glad it happened after watching the drama. At least i've experienced all of it to be able to relate to the scenes in the drama.
Love the part where the tweet says "The people you met will always be part of who you are now." True. All these while ive been thinking what would happen if i hadnt met this person, or what would happen if we actually forced it to happen. Takde la all these while sangat, dulu la hshshs. This drama answered it all. Also the way they portray the breakup, it was so painful yet beautiful., emm i wouldnt say beautiful but it was painful not in a bad way. yknow you cant force love agitchewww.
i also love the part where hee do adviced her friends "breaking an engagement is easier than divorce". not condoning the act. but looking at how calm she was talking about it. she was able to be open about it. Compared to when she was with her first love, it didnt make her comfortable to talk about things like that. everything was forced. both were trying to please each other till it became emm like a forced love? not sure if its the right term lah but itu la apa yang saya fikir kan. wah.
to relate to my experience, which wasnt that long pun but it was quite painful since it was considered the first time i was committed to a full time relationship. i am naturally not a talkative person. but with people i am comfortable with, i can talk about many things. lawak tak bertapis, gelak tak cover. i was like that only when i was friends with him. once we started to be a couple (muntahhh sebab umur dah 30 kot hahahhahaha) it didnt last long probably cause we didnt cliqued (betul ke term ni ek) that much. The topics, the songs. There was no fight since we wanted to "jaga hati" each other sangat. The topic differences, aku tak suka layan illuminati, tapi dia suka. entah2 antivaks dah dia sekarang hahahhha matilanakkk. I did listened to the songs that he suggested la tapi. That would be the only thing that remain sebab gi mam la bukan dengar lagu tu ingat kat dia pun, dengar sebab best ja. wkwkwk
Comparing it to my next relationship, i was able to be comfortable with my partner. was able to be open and share my thoughts. also he talks alot so thats a bonus cause i considered myself as a good listener. Also he tak kedekut so thats a bonus point for me. I tak suka orang berkira.
aside from relationships, this drama also involves friendship dari middle school to highschool. Which i am glad there was no corona during my teenage years. tengok adik aku baru nak rasa life twenties, tiba tiba ada covid and kena terperap je kat rumah. tau2 dah internship, tau2 dah degree. Aku punya zaman U walaupun tak jauh dari rumah. Tapi jauh enough to be able to do all sorts of things with my friends. lepas dah buat baru bagitau parents "haritu pergi sini...buat tu..." hshshs. Convoy sampai 24 jam (unforgettable!), mandi sungai, panjat bukit, bukak puasa sama sama, road trips, kira2 duit siapa bayar berapa (kerja madihah but still paying it was part of the experience eh), the games that we played, the surprise birthday parties. i am soooo glad it happened. so glad i had friends during my uni days. They were the one who comforted me during my worst. Breakup was one of it. I remembered my friend even prayed for my happiness, prayed for the weight to be lifted off of me. Glad that she is still a part of my life up until now.
Fast forward to bila Hee-do dah ada anak, she was able to let go and be happy to look back at all the things that happened. Which is relatable sebab aku pun dah ada anak?? hahahha. relatable sebab macam aku cakap la, you dont regret what happened before anymore. what seemed like a long process before has shaped me to be the person i am today. wah gittewww.
man i love good drama like this. tak kisah la ramai yang tak puas hati. i loved it so much cause it changed my perspective on so many things. sempena bulan ramadhan ni aku secretly doa Nam Joo-hyuk dengan Kim Tae-ri akan sama sama IRL please. hahahaha.
Dah lah bye.
