i just feel it is not fair when i wrote about love like the galaxy but there is no entry on my all time favorite drama "Twenty five, twenty one"
suddenly being reminded of 2521 when listening to this song from a coming of age movie i watched recently "Upcoming summer"
Dont judge me when i still watch coming of age movie despite being in my late thirties... usually i dont have much time dwelling or recalling those emotions anymore
but sometimes after watching a beautifully done drama or movie about growing up, love, choice and parting, which is usually the main theme of coming of age stories, i cant help but trying to recall my experience of the far away realm called youth
盛夏光年 Eternal Summer
作词+作曲：阿信
Lyrics and composition: Ashin
我骄傲的破坏 我痛恨的平凡
I destroyed triumphantly the mediocrity which I hate
才想起那些是我最爱
Before realising that those were my beloved
让盛夏去贪玩
Let summer be playful
把残酷的未来
Expel the cruel future
狂放到光年外
To light years away
而现在
But for now
放弃规则 放纵去爱
Let go of rules, let loose in love
放肆自己 放空未来
Let me be free, let’s vanquish fate
我不转弯 我不转弯
I will head on, I will go on
我不转弯 我不转弯
I’m not turning, never turning
让定律更简单
Let the laws be simpler
让秩序更混乱
Let order be messier
这样的青春我才喜欢
This is my favourite kind of youth
让盛夏去贪玩
Let summer be playful
把残酷的未来
Expel the cruel future
狂放到光年外
To light years away
而现在
But for now
放弃规则 放纵去爱
Let go of rules, let loose in love
放肆自己 放空未来
Let me be free, let’s vanquish fate
我不转弯 我不转弯
I will head on, I will go on
我不转弯 我不转弯
I’m not turning, never turning
我要我疯 我要我爱 就是
I want to be crazy, I want to love
我要我疯 我要我爱 现在
I want to be crazy over love right now
一万首的mp3 一万次疯狂的爱
Ten thousand mp3’s or the same amount of passionate romances
灭不了一个渺小的孤单
Can’t crush a scrap of loneliness
我要我疯 我要我爱 就是
I want to be crazy, I want to love
我要我疯 我要我爱 现在
I want to be crazy over love right now
盛夏的一场狂欢
A revelry during midsummer
来到了光年之外
Brought to light years away
长大难道是人必经的溃烂
Is growing up part of the decay that all humans undergo?
而现在
But for now
放弃规则 放纵去爱
Let go of rules, let loose in love
放肆自己 放空未来
Let me be free, let’s vanquish fate
我不转弯 我不转弯
I will head on, I will go on
我不转弯 我不转弯
I’m not turning, never turning

First the above song is from Upcoming summer, a very common light-hearted tales of growing up with all its painful loneliness, awkwardness, loss at our puzzled emotions and all the changes the future ahead us beholds... a simple story yet inexplicably touching and soulful when paring with the ost above
the lyrics says it all. it is a phase in your life when you want to break free from the boring routine before realizing that those all are your beloved...
and it makes me yearning for 2521 because i have always loved 2521 ost so earnestly
Jaurim - 스물다섯, 스물하나 (Twenty Five, Twenty One) (English Translation) Lyrics
In the season when the wind blows and flowers fall
It still seems as if I'm holding your hand
Back then, the flowers were so beautiful
I didn't know it as much as I do now
[Chorus]
Ooh, your scent
It's coming in the wind
Ooh, I thought it would last forever
Twenty-five, twenty-one
[Verse 2]
That day, the sea was very warm
It still seems as if you're grabbing my hand
In the shining sunlight, there was you and me
My heart ached with happiness in this dream
[Chorus]
Ooh, the song that day
It's coming in the wind
Ooh, I thought it would last forever
You and I in the past
[Bridge]
Your voice, your eyes
Even the warmth of your body
The morе I remember, thе more they fade
I can't hold you back from disappearing

while the romance in upcoming summer is a teenagers' crush, cute and light-hearted, the romance in 2521 is much more endearing. It is love, the so-called unforgettable first love; and not only at that, an excruciatingly beautiful and haunting one. Apart from all the cliche naivety and fluttering moments fist love entails, it is the mutually support and nurturing the two lovers shares through their journey to overcome the tough time life throws them into that makes the story outstanding and exquisite. a love that grows, heals their wounds and warms their hearts, being each other source of energy to continue and fight on. we cant help being envious of the love bond they share though it does not last forever... and the farewell they have to bid is none of those cliche dramas of fatal diseases or love triangle but series of life events powerful enough to make them part their way and fall out of love. the love story and its end is made very realistic in that sense. thus, all the more emotional and endearing
well, what lasts forever anyway? forever is a very subjective and circumstanced term. but it is frequently exploited when talking about love, making love alluring and delusional to the inexperienced ones
Okay, actually, I have forgotten many details of the drama cause it is alr 2years since I watched it.. lol
but i just want to pen down its name as one of my all time favorite dramas for the emotion feels so raw and real then.
there is another all time favorite i have not mentioned which is Reply 1988. I'll write about it some other time haha
