loved the side characters more, Neverthless
ahem ahem finally...like you wouldn't believe how crazily I waited for this show to air with only one ep a week yep if was difficult.So the thing here is that this is most probably the first and only show where I was shipping our second male lead so hard cox obviously our potato boi deserved it all.
I was more invested in the side couples than the main couple.
Sol and ji wan yes HELL YES they made me crazy for them, I always had my heart eyes while watching them in screen:)
Oh Bit na and Nam Gyu had the whole wattpad I am in love with my best friend trope going on as well like sol and ji wan but man oh man we all need a guy who looks at us like Gyu looks at Bit na!!! Like honestly it was so obvious from ep 1 that the guy was madly, hopelessly in love with her and it broke my heart when I saw them part ways but it was soo funny seeing both of them pretending that they don't care about each other and then doing everything possible for each other's affection.
Now now coming to our seniorssss this couple of my so underrated I swear, I searched for idek how long to find their edits on YouTube like seriously watching them made my heart flutter and even made me scream that how more obvious should the other person be for the one of them to understand that they are in love with each other ;_;
Nabi and Jae Eon were two individuals which I think made us feel like being in a spiral. Nabis desperation to hold onto him wasn't something that I felt was wrong. It is what it is in real life as well, it's hard, hard to the point that one can lose themself in order to hold onto that one person and I respect that about the actors as they were able to potray it so well.
I wanted Nabi to be happy and end up with our potato boy as i thought it's for the best but honestly yes was deeply in love with our butterfly boy so yeah one is senseless in love and we get it but it ended with literally like no visible character developed just the sheer need and vulnerability to stay with Jae Eon and honestly out side couples having a happy ending mattered more to me than the lets date ending of our main lead.

the ML is toxic and the FL is too weak
i dont get how people are romanticizing park jae eon behaviour. he isnt interested in dating but keeps wanting to claim nabi in his territory. he kisses girls here and there then said that oh they're just playing games like what kind of excuse is that lol.and nabi, she literally just broke up with her trashy ex but how can she be so innocent and kept falling into park jae eon "trap". sorry to say but nabi's character is damn weak here, she basically couldnt resist, even once, her lust for park jae eon no matter how really confusing his behaviour is to her.
thank god there's another couples going on in this drama and their stories are good.

Here's My Opinion!!!
When I watched episode one, I thought their chemistry is beautiful my whole body was anxious and I wanted to see the next episode because episode one was very good to me and I thought everyone was going to like this to how realistic it is, but everyone was/is criticizing it and the reason behind that I think it may be too realistic because things like this have happened to people before and even though they know that/the person who they like is toxic they still want to be with them NEVERTHLESS,And I also think most of us can agree that the reason why the show is called NEVERTHLESS is because as Nabi grows which she's already has a little as we’ve seen you see that she knows the type of person of that PJE is, but she still wants to be with him NEVERTHLESS hence the name of the drama.
Also, my review value is 1.0 to re-watch because I know I won't be watch this after I get the whole storyline.

Without prejudice, everything is understandable and realistic.
There are so many people who has an open relationship or no relationship at all. Some people choose to hang out and nothing more. Because relationship are hard to handle and that give you so many responsibility and so many people don't want that. And this is not something wrong. Just because you are in a relationship doesn't make you right, having a open relationship/just hanging out doesn't make you wrong.If you consider the actors' positions and perspectives on life, not your own life while watching the series, I'm sure you will be able to look at them without prejudice and understand them.
If you look at it individually or internalize the subject, it will be difficult for you to understand. Everyone has different opinion about love and it doesn't make anyone wrong.
Thank you.
(Normally I don't rewatch dramas that much that is why I gave it 5.)

NEVERTHELESS,
So okay, i can guess why is "everyone" so mad with this drama's ending but I personally liked it. I find it realistic and common to be in this kind of toxic relationship around this age.Most of all, do you have to date someone you want to get married? Why can't she just date him a bit, just because she loves what she feels when she's with him, she knew from the start just what type of person he was and what type of relationship he'll want ans she was okay.
Why is it so wrong to taste all the flowers in the garden before you settle for one?
Do you have to make wedding plans at early twenty-some ?
The story was good, a bit slow paced in some episodes for all the couples but they were easy to follow, enjoyable and relatable. Nothing too cringe (thankfully), what I liked the least was the love triangle between Park Jae Eon, Yun Na Bi and her childhood friend, I personally hate love triangles.
The acting was good for everyone, they all had great chemistry but I personally liked the best Han So-hee and Song Kang's but also Kim Min Gwi and Yang Hye Ji had good chemistry too. Song Kang's expressions in some scenes were superb, like really good! I like how much he has improved all these years, he really has worked hard!
The OST were beautiful my favourite one is LOVE LIKE THAT by Sam Kim, I'm always listening to it 🙈😂, great songs for this drama. You really should give them a try.
That's all for NEVERTHELESS, I had fun watching this drama so I can't say i don't like it because i really do. It's the most realistic romantic drama koreans have ever done, so yeah I ship.
I'm not even going to justify my likings 😂😂
Let's respect everyone's opinion and discuss in a beautiful and respectful manner. Thank you everyone, I hope this has been of help to anyone 😜🥰💕

SO GOOD HELLO
I gen don’t care what anyone says, as someone who’s been in a situationship for 2 years, this drama presents it so well. the contious going back to him and the guilt after is presented so good. idc if people find her stupid to go back, i lowkey am delulu like that to think she changed him (lets hope 🥲) the way the ml was so manipulative was so captivating like excuse me omg. he was so much like the guy i was with and it took me back so bad, i’m glad that i left but if he had done what the ml had done, i would’ve gone back too.Was this review helpful to you?

Side couples >>> main couple
I started this drama because I heard that it's a realistic portrayal of relationships, especially friends with benefits one. I was glad that they decided to produce something like this in South Korea as I'm getting tired of all the gloryfication of first loves and not falling in love until being in mid-thirties like some korean dramas depict it. But honestly Nevertheless was a flop for me.It was toxic. Like a lot. Not the friends with benefits relationship (that was fine and there's nothing wrong with it as it is between consenting adults which it was) but the fact that it was just another cliché aka "I can change him". Yes the FL of course was not okay with being "just" fwb with the ML and wanted to properly date him. And of course that he changed for her because she was so special. /s
That was unrealistic and honestly it's giving a lot of false hope to some people, don't you think?
Whatever the side couples were much more better than the main one, I especially loved Bit Na and Kyung Hyun. And don't get me started on Sol and Ji Wan, they are perfect!!! <3 The side couples were the only reason why I finished the drama.

What a cliche story. Stupid girl deserves better and falls for stupid boy and then nice boy wants stupid girl but stupid girl is STUPID. But lesbehonest, we all know why I watched this and why half of the female homosapians also watched it LMFAOOOO; any who, it wasn't a bad show. But the ending could've gone better, we could've gotten more from our saviors these wonderful girls that had a beautiful relationship but I'll take what we can get.

Nevertheless, I watched it anyway.
Saw the hype on social media for this and thought why not jump onto the same bandwagon.The show starts off quite rapidly (in my opinion), you get the whole backstory to Na-bi's past, her traumatic relationship and then how she meets Park Jae Eon and then how they become each other's muse. In some ways, it's quite predictable. Though I wasn't really sure why they rated it R-19 given there wasn't anything too racy about those scenes which didn't last more than 3-4 episodes and that was it. I guess for Korean censorships, I get it. But honestly I was expecting more sexual chemistry between the two leads.
But their relationship soon takes a turn and then Na-bi has enough of his playboy like behaviour and our ML finally brings his walls down to acknowledge that he can actually have feelings for someone.
What I did like - was the songs in it, I thought it fitted nicely. I also liked the way this was produced. I thought it was so well shot. I didn't mind the monologue. I quite liked it, made it feel like a visual diary of some sort. I did like that they encapsulated a lot of modern day scenarios and real-life problems.
What I didn't like - how toxic their relationship actually was and how they made it seem like it was totally ok. I get that it was the premise of the whole show, and if people are saying it's realistic, sure.. but it's not the case for everyone. I also don't think it's something worth applauding. So, you're basically telling everyone "hey, don't worry, you might totally get screwed over by a guy but he'll finally realise your worth after a long while of cheating and denial." Like, I was actually routing for Yang Do Hyuk. You could clearly see that he made her feel so happy and safe.
I didn't like how long the episodes were given the content was basically going around in circles with the ML and FL. I wish they developed more of a storyline. Like, did she ever find out who Seoul-a was to him? Even I wanted to know! How about more on the ML and what happened in his past to make him do the things/feel the way he does.
The first half of the series was definitely the better half. I must also say that from a visual perspective, the two leads definitely were great to look at.
But glad I got to cross that off my list. In a way, it gave me the same vibes as watching 'Skins' - the UK drama show, but without all the drugs. lol.

What a load of crap!!!
This drama is so wrong in so many ways. The character Nabi has no self respect at all. Her ex exhibited a nude sculpture of her without even telling her, I thought she would break up with her right at that spot but she apologized for crying instead. Finally when she broke up with him for cheating on her. She fall for another scumbag like Jae Eon while she knew that he is a scumbag. May be to other people I might seem a little old fashioned but this was to messed up for me. so i just decided to drop this drama at episode 3. if you can't commit then don't play around, it may seem fun to you but the other person can lose their trust in people and in love.Was this review helpful to you?
it's so boring!
honestly at this point, where I have watched like... millions of dramas but I've never seen such pathetic characters ever! I mean what the hell is wrong with Na-Bi?! Jae-Eon is clearly a walking, talking red flag but she can't see that? is love blind in such a pathetic amount??!! Just get a personality sweetheart! this is so annoying and painfully repetitive! at this point I wanna drop watching kdramas altogether! why can't they make more interesting dramas like Goblin or Memorist?! Also, even that dyed haired woman! she was a total b***h (pardon my language)!! both Bit-Na and Na-Bi were pathetic bitches. Song Kang's Sweet Home was way freaking better!Was this review helpful to you?

Hot but toxic...clichéd & boring in between
When I saw the trailer, i got really really really excited that this would be super hot show away from the clichés - but alas, this show just dragged onnnnnnnnnnn in between and became the epitome of clichéFew aspects:
+ve:
1. Hot characterisation and steamy scenes - all the characters look great! So yummmm, eye candy
2. amazing OST <3
3. Pretty locations and art pieces
4. Tried to include LGBTQ+
-ves (& oh there many!)
1. Lead choosing toxic relationship
2. Girl crying over the boy not committing
3. Love triangle where the good 2nd lead gets left heartbroken
4. Boring lengthy episodes in between
5. traditional characteristics of 1st lead
6.2nd half was so clichéd - like i could predict it from a mile away
Overall - watch the 1st few episodes and then fast forward!
