The complicated relationship between Kim Tae Ri and WJSN's Bona in 'Twenty-Five Twenty-One' is depicted with the following athletes. No doubt the comparison sparked criticism before the drama was aired.
Not yet aired, Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri's drama, "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" has only drawn criticism. This drama was heavily criticized after explaining the relationship between the main character and Bona WJSN (Cosmic Girls).
"Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" tells the story of the growth and romance of young people in 1998. The plot of this drama will follow the romance story of Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri) and Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) who met for the first time when they were young. 18 and 22 years.
In the article, the rivalry between Na Hee Do and Go Yoo Rim (Bona) is mentioned along with Kim Yu na and Asada Mao - a former figure skater. Although there is nothing wrong with the depiction of the relationship between Na Hee Do and Goo Yoo Rim, the way he compares them with the two figure skaters is not appropriate.
"What do Kim Yu Na and Asada mean to each other? Without each other, would the two players be able to shine brighter than now?" said the production team in the article.
However, the explanation was criticized after being circulated in online communities. Netizens think that Kim Yu Na and Asada MAao are not rivals. Asada is indeed superior in the junior stage but different in the senior class.
After losing for the second time at the Grand Prix Final in the 2006-2007 season which became his first senior competition, Kim Yu Na won the 2008-2009 Four Continents championship, the World Championship, 2009-2010 Grand Prix and the Vancouver Winter Olympics. After that he left the ice rink with no regrets after the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Asada fought Kim Yu Na 13 times on the senior stage during that period. However, Asada only won 4 times and lost 9 times until finally retiring in 2017.
While the main characters Na Hee Do and Go Yoo Rim are described as having a strange "womance" in "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One", netizens feel it is inappropriate to mention Kim Yu Na and Asada. Na Hee Do and Go Yoo Rim are fellow fencers who compete and have a hot and cold relationship, sometimes getting along and fighting. No doubt netizens left comments for the tvN statement.
"I don't want to underestimate Asada, but it's rude to Kim Yuna to compare her to Asada," said one netizen. "The two are not rivals. I don't understand how the two athletes are used for dramas that depict 'womance'," continued another netizen.
Meanwhile, "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" can be seen on February 12. This drama will be broadcast every Saturday and Sunday at 21:10 local time. (wk/inta)
