Hello, My Twenties!

Five twenty-something women share a stylish but imperfect home called Belle Epoque, each bringing a distinct vibe to life after college. The house becomes a hub where study sessions collide with late night chats about dating, job hustles, and dreams that stretch beyond the campus. Yoon Jin-myung, Jeong Ye-eun, Song Ji-won, Yoo Eun-jae, and Jo Eun form a close knit group who manage friendships that shift as they test boundaries, voice insecurities, and cheer each other on through small victories and awkward missteps. The show follows their attempts to balance independence with belonging, money worries with ambition, and romance with self-respect. It blends warmth with humor and honest depictions of growing up together. The dynamic within the Belle Epoque house becomes a mirror of early adulthood, where trust is earned and plans frequently change.

Released in 2016 on tvN, Hello, My Twenties! was created by Park Yeon-seon and directed by multiple directors, delivering a tight ensemble drama about friendship and life after college. The series is presented as an original concept rather than adapted material. It also showcases a distinctly modern Korean urban vibe.

The five women at the heart of the show struck a chord with viewers for their honest take on friendship and personal growth. Belle Epoque became more than a setting it symbolized a space where young women pursue independence while backing each other through both missteps and milestones. The series helped popularize character driven stories about campus life and early adulthood in Korean pop culture.

Critics and fans praised the ensemble headed by Han Yeri, Han Seung-yeon, Park Eun-bin, Ji Woo, and Choi A-ra for bringing nuance and warmth to their characters. The show balances witty banter with earnest talks about career pressure, dating expectations, and the strength of friendship. Its core themes focus on belonging, resilience, and choosing a supportive community as life after college unfolds. The result is a relatable portrait of adulthood that many viewers recognize in their own years of transition.
