With a taste of a poison paradiseee~ I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?
This probably is the most toxic drama that I have ever watched and hopefully I will never have to do that again.To me the drama just conveys the wrong morals and message:
"The bad boy who is playing with the innocent girl and she accepts it."
While i loved the character development between the side characters like Yoon Sol and Seo Ji Wan, who go through their troubles with communication of their feelings and honesty, the relationship between Na Bi and Jae Eon is way too obsessive and well... toxic!
The scene of Na Bi and her ex in front of her house after he he heard she was dating again was my favorite one, because it showed the strength and dominance of the female lead right there. BUT her just accepting in the end, that Jae Eon will hurt her and make her feel not worth it destroys that whole picture of that strong woman, which is really sad.
To me Nevertheless missed a lot of development between the lead couple and just Jae Eon individually. If we had a lot more evolution in his character and some more depth in his past or personal challenges for him to overcome this might have been a drama liked. Maybe more smaller situations where Jae Eon actually is reflecting about his behavior and actual understanding of Na Bis emotions.
Even though the acting was well done and then music well made, I definitely wouldn't recommend cuz of all the mentioned factors.
Was pretty much disappointing :/

Torture, disappointment, irritation also known as Nevertheless
I've never reviewed any drama I've watched before but I felt like I really needed to do one for this.I'll keep it short...
I quite dislike the main characters of this show, they're boring, at times really pathetic(yu nabi) and repetitive which made this show painful to sit through and tbvh, the side characters were much more interesting. This show is such a slow burn, almost as if I'm watching paint dry. Just when you think it's getting somewhere, NOPE! it's back to square one and it's been like that for most, if not all the episodes. I'm pretty sure if you watch the first and last episode only you've watched the whole show because there's absolutely no process. It just romanticizes an unhealthy relationship --yu nabi knows very well that her life is going to be miserable with jae eon, nevertheless she proceeds (oops I just told you the whole plot, sorry) However, I cannot disregard the acting, cinematography and the OST.
I procrastinated watching this show a number of times because of the mixed reviews I saw literally everywhere, nevertheless, I watched it and regretted it.

You do not fall for a nice decent guy who loves you since ages but fall for a player because you feel he’s changed although he humiliated you, calls you names because you fwb with him. This is exactly what this drama portrays and it’s dangerous. Na bi chooses apparently good looking guy who did all the horrible things to her just cause he says he’s changed. Never in a million years people change their true colors. She rejected a guy who loved her since ages just cause of a player.This sets a wrong precedence to those who learn from dramas about love.
They could have done a better job either at portraying the player or made our love struck fool a little less innocent so we could make sense of the story.

Bruh
This is just one big BRUH moment. I honestly felt zero connection with most of the characters except for the lesbian side couple. They were the only reason I kept watching this boring ass kdrama. This was just the most frustrating watch ever, especially since this story follows a girl whos head over heels over a guy whos CLEARLY an asshole and no he will not change lol, im still pissed they made her end up with him when he showed 0 signs of development and actually changing as a person. All he did was apologise a bit and that was it for her...Potato boy deserved better!! And that ending scene where she longingly looked at him through the window makes me think she might've regretted her choice in the end, which is both satisfiying and also frustrating at the same time.
ALSO I was really looking forward to seeing the GL side couple share a lil cute kiss or a lil more scenes atleast but I'll take what I can get.

Not as bad as many claim it to be
One of the first dramas i‘ve ever watched so it has a special place in my heart. I never realized how toxic the ml is until i rewatched but their relationship still seemed realistic considering other dramas nowadays. She knew what kind of person he was but was already to involved to back up. Something tells me that he really wasn‘t just playing around with her, as he keeps thinking about her but he wasn‘t giving her 100% full attention either.The whole atmosphere was beautifully portrayed though. The music, the art and the calm personalities of the mainleads.

the main couple was incredibly boring
idk if it was the script but i felt like the main couple was so boring. they literally had no personalities whatsoever, like the dude’s personality was just being a fckboy and liking butterflies💀i managed to finish the show only for the side couples, they were soo much more interesting. it’s a shame bc han so hee and song kang are amazing and i felt the couple was wasted on this show😭. i liked the point of the plot tho because it was really realistic and people actually go through that stuffVond je deze recentie nuttig?

my pressure rises whenever i see this title
I tried to pretend i never watched Nevertheless but for the sake of the lovely side stories, i will leave my honest exasperating review.I feel that the main character is relatable. These are things we can all understand and/or have been through to some extent. The pep talks you have with yourself, pretending you'll be mad but you give in...all too relatable. But Nabi is a bit excessive, she knows better and our best friend (intuition) warns her but she refuses to listen. So much that it becomes infuriating. Nabi is too smug about "dating" an an emotionally wayward person and she refuses to give herself any self respect. Anyways, I can't properly watch a character willingly be so stupid. This would have been a redeeming story, if we saw nabi realize that her "love" towards jaeon was fleeting. So with willpower and self-discipline she would stick to her guns and avoid him. But nope. Nabi's motto is basically=I Know I'm doing the wrong thing...but regardless/nevertheless, i want to experience (head on) something that I know will bring me pain.
Watching Nabi navigate her (simple yet she makes it complex) love life is like trying to convince your hardheaded friend to dump her toxic partner and you just have to sit back and watch it burn to the ground. By the end of the show, i found myself giving up and feigning happiness for Nabi even though i know she'll be crying soon because Nevertheless, people don't change that easily. And he will disappoint you again. But go ahead girl, get the man you want!

'Nevertheless' review: FUBU and red flags but make it aesthetic and artsy
This was an almost realistic portrayal of how red flag gaslights and manipulates us. Except the writers decided to write episode 10 and flip the whole thing.Nevertheless revolves around the no-label and f*ck buddy relationship of Nabi and Jae Eon. For starters, Nabi is fresh off a break-up from her toxic and manipulative boyfriend.
So is Jae Eon different and better than his ex? No. They are practically the same except Jae Eon is younger, so handsome that his face and body should be displayed in a museum, and tries to make it seem like he's asking for her consent when he's not. He persists until she gives in.
Before I list down the million reasons why Park Jae Eon is a dangerous predator trying to disguise himself as a gentle and innocent lamb, let me point out some things I did like in this show. The every day montage of Nabi and Jae Eon sleeping will go down in history as one of the best cinematic experience in kdrama. Nevertheless' cinematography and soundtrack ate and left no crumbs.
Nabi's actions may seem foolish and delusional but it's the reality of our feelings. Feelings waver most of the times and are incoherent. We always get our hope up over simple actions of people we like.
Han So Hee realistically portrayed the roller coaster of emotions when we fall for the wrong guy. The cycle of emotional manipulation is very vicious and at one point Nabi even questioned her own values and worth. She thinks Potato Boy doesn't deserve someone like her.
The first thing you will notice about Jae Eon is his gaze. It's very hypnotizing. It's like he's inviting you to go with him in the shadows. I hate to admit it but I can't take my eyes off him once he comes into my sight. That's how powerful he is.
Whenever he and Nabi fight, he always tries to act cool and calm. He twists Nabi's words so that at the end he gets the upper hand and gets what he want from her.
Jae Eon's gaslighting skills never cease to amaze me. In one episode, Jae eon said he always keeps his guard up because he doesn't want to hurt other people's feelings. That's really ironic since manipulating and messing other people's feelings and minds is what he does on his every affair.
He knew Nabi was broken inside the moment he saw her in the exhibit. But he still went after her just for fun and fling. He's so psycho. I'm aware that FUBU and FWB exist and are acceptable for others but is distorting the truth part of such relationships? He should have been clear from the get-go that he only wants sexual relationship and nothing more.
The episodes about Jae Eon's inner thoughts are so contradicting. It tries to paint him as a broken guy who just needs love and affection. Redeeming his character is the most unrealistic thing in this show. He is literally the ultimate manipulative sad boy.
Jae Eon towards the end of the show is literally the behavior of a gaslighter who is mad over losing his control and power over his victim. He can't believe he lost his own game and to get back at Nabi, he fakes his sincerity just to win her over again.
People rooting for him may have distorted perceptions of reality. I cant blame them since Jae Eon playing the victim looks so bewitching. This is the very reason why Na bi feels confused, anxious, and unable to trust herself.
I believe Nabi's feelings left for Jae Eon is withdrawal symptoms. It's her brain missing the thrill and danger of treading on egg shells. She's missing Jae Eon's mysterious facade and unpredictable behavior. She's missing not knowing what comes next because she's always anxious and confused and horny.
Nabi taking a chance again with Jae Eon even though she knows he will cause her pain is just so masochist of her. Until the very end, we got nothing from Jae Eon. Still can't believe Nabi did all the talking in Episode 10. It's Jae eEon who should have expressed his thoughts and feelings. Just because a jerk cries in front of you doesn't mean all of his wrongdoings will be gone in a blink of an eye.
Putting aside the criticisms for this kdrama, I genuinely think Song Kang totally nailed his role as a red flag who constantly has you wrapped around his finger. Who would not fall for that kind of face anyway? Who can even refuse him?
The mind games he play with Nabi was seriously unsettling and made me queasy yet addicting. He's like a drug you can't resist or can't say no to. You know he's bad for your health but you do it blindly.
I just wished they didn't write Episode 10 the way they did. Nevertheless could have been an impactful and realistic portrayal of a push and pull relationship. It could have educated its viewers about how damaging having a manipulative and gaslighting partner. It's such a let down how they wasted this opportunity.

I can't feel anything...
This drama is so boring I barely can rate anything. Nothing in this drama is remotely appealing. I don't care about the story, I don't care about the characters, I don't care about the OST.I usually drop a drama out of rage, something has to piss me off to make me stop watching, but this drama was different, at some point I just questioned myself why was I wasting my time that. I really felt nothing, no enjoyment, no anger, just nothing.
I really wanted to like because i love han so hee, but this time i just couldn't.

Holy Hell, Nevertheless,
I sincerely feel that this show would be better without the 2 main characters.
They're both frustrating because their issues are so simple yet they just play dumb not to try and solve them.
The issues of all the supporting characters are similar or more complicated, but they're not fools.
The show is incredibly slow, which would be fine if it was interesting.
I feel I watched the last 4 episodes only to say that I finished it and because it was just 10.
The actors though are fine, the writing and scenario is at fault.
Nevertheless,
There's too many k-drama out there to waste your time on this.

horrible, horrible, horrible. I hated this kdrama it can go die in a ditch for all I care. it grinds my bones. she was a lonely heartbroken girl that just got her heart broken from this ugly old ass man. and she was sad. then she went to this little weird exhibition, and she saw her ex-boyfriend's art and it was with butt up in the air. and then she made eye contact with this guy, and she was "OH MY GOSH HE IS SO HOT HE IS MY FUTURE BOYFRIEND" then out of kdrama nowhere they meet each other in this bar. and how shocking the guy was kissing another girl, while looking for Na-Bi. and for the rest of the series this guy was really breaking her heart for the entire series, cheating. then he got those sad little depressing scenes showing that really ugly butterfly tattoo of his. and Na-Bi is so boring like can this girl not do a hair tuck and look at the guy with hearts in her eyes after he didn't just cheat on you for like the millionth time. then for the lesbian couple oh my gosh their so cute their the whole reason why i continued watching this kdrama. then the guy with the deep voice and the girl with the dyed hair just made me question my whole existence and gave me bi panic.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
