Although Kim Tae-ri is playing a character who is 13 years younger than her in the new K-drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, the 31-year-old actress tells StarLifestyle that she found her character’s strength and confidence inspirational.

“Na Hee-do is someone who doesn’t give up on her dreams even though her dreams are taken away from her. She just keeps on going. I admire that,” says Kim, who starred as a tough captain in the 2021 sci-fi film Space Sweepers.
