Does not matter
Complex story yet predictable ending!
Nevertheless tells the story of Park Jae-eon (played by Song Kang) and Yoo Na-bi (played by Han So-hee). Park Jae-eon is a charming and flirtatious art student who avoids commitment, while Yoo Na-bi, also an art student, has been disillusioned with love after a painful breakup. Despite their differing views on relationships, they are drawn to each other in a magnetic but complicated romance.
It focuses on:
1. The emotional conflict between wanting love and fearing heartbreak.
2. The push-and-pull dynamic in ambiguous relationships.
3. The struggles of self-discovery and emotional boundaries.
Nevertheless is a - A Mixed Bag of Emotions
While Nevertheless had the potential to redefine modern romance in K-dramas, it ultimately fell short due to its frustrating central narrative and inconsistent character development.
The story revolves around Park Jae-eon and Yoo Na-bi, whose tumultuous and often toxic relationship takes center stage. Jae-eon’s manipulative charm and emotional unavailability make him a frustrating character to watch, while Na-bi’s inability to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and attraction to Jae-eon feels exhausting. Their relationship, instead of portraying the beauty and challenges of love, often comes off as repetitive and emotionally draining, leaving viewers questioning the purpose of their dynamic.
Where Nevertheless truly shines, however, is in its depiction of the side characters, particularly Sol and Jiwan. Their story as an LGBTQ+ couple is a breath of fresh air, offering a tender and genuine portrayal of love and self-discovery. Sol’s quiet strength and Jiwan’s bubbly personality create a heartwarming and relatable dynamic that outshines the main couple. The progression of their relationship is handled delicately and with respect, making it one of the most compelling aspects of the drama.
Nevertheless deserves praise for its supporting characters like Sol and Jiwan and its artistic presentation, the frustratingly shallow and toxic main romance makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly. The show had so much potential but ultimately leaves viewers feeling more exasperated than satisfied.
