On Sunday, a post raising questions about the minor-adult romance in Twenty-Five Twenty-One went viral online. In the recently aired episodes, a 23-year-old college student Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) was seen confessing his love to 19-year-old high schooler Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri). This is what some viewers took issue with. Baek Yi Jin told Na Hee Do, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm in love with you.ŌĆØ He then added, ŌĆ£This has nothing to do with what you think of me. Whatever you do or no matter what you look like, IŌĆÖm in love with you for who you are. I couldnŌĆÖt ask for anything more than to make you happier by telling you how I feel about you.ŌĆØ These were some of the negative comments about the scene: ŌĆ£If this happened for real, thatŌĆÖs disgusting.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm afraid the minors will start wishing for this.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£He couldŌĆÖve just waited until she was no longer a minor.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Stop showing minor-adult romance.ŌĆØ However, some stressed that this was only a drama: ŌĆ£This is a drama, a fictional story.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£I had no problem with it.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£If they donŌĆÖt date until she becomes an adult, whatŌĆÖs the problem?ŌĆØ In fact, there werenŌĆÖt any inappropriate scenes involving Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do as some viewers claimed. On the contrary, the two became a rock for each other from their first meeting to their reunion. Source (1)
