nine and a half episodes of edging
i just finished the drama and so my hot take on it is that while the drama seemed very promising and it captivated me at first due to its quite progressive approach to relationships (which was kinda refreshing ngl), after 5/6 episodes it got boring assssss and too tiresome watch. all the main characters kept on doing is being angsty af, yearning, edging, and having like 0 communication skills which lead to even more angst. and afterwards the main plot of the drama got resolved within like last 10 minutes so after all that happened between the main characters it felt unnatural and rushed. ill give this show points tho for quite good lesbian representation and realistic portrayal of youths. then, in my impression it was the side characters such as yunsol, jiwan, bitna, and gyuhyun that hard carried the show. although they were side characters their plots were more enjoyable to me, because these characters at least had CHARACTER. nabis and jaeeons personalities, on the other hand, were super bland and they had like 0 chemistry.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
artsyy
the art student vibes was sooooo good, its a little cliche but actually it was fine. because there aren't many dramas like this one. andd i love han so hee sm. and song kang was a diffrent kind of thing in this drama. my favs are ofc oh bitna, yoon sol, seo jiwan and gyuhyun. i was sooo in love with bitna while i was watching it (im still tbh). The cliché side of the drama is of course Nabi and It was jaeeon's strange love but still sweet. But the most ridiculous thing to me was their encounter, the strange name that Nabi's family gave her, the guy's butterfly tattoo and the guy's strange behaviours.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Eu comecei a assistir por um trecho que vi de um possível casal gl, e apesar de aparecem tão pouco, foi tão lindinho, encheu meu coraçãozinho de amor ❤️?
Os casais secundarios levaram nas costas o dorama.!
O casal principal é um saco, é cansativo demais acompanhar eles.. a Na-bi insiste no boy lixo a série inteira, e a gente quer só se iludir e aumentar nossos pré requisitos na vida amorosa.. esse casal meio que regride tudo que aprendemos assistindo outros doramas kkkkkkkk
Te perdoo Na-bi, quem nunca né mana.. ??

Something that I have already seen
Story 7.5-The straight side couple. The story was classic: two best friends that love each other, the characters were kinda funny so it was a great side couple, also because the relationship was healthy (differently from the main couple).
-The lesbian side couple. The story was still between two best friends that love each other but this time it was between two girls. You know I have rarely seen a lesbian couple so I was well impressed and glad. They were so cute and healthy!
-The main couple. All of you will agree with me saying that at the beginning the relationship was toxic. Jea-eon hasn't wanted a serious relationship with Nabi until episode 7/8 I think. On the contrary, there was the other guy. In my opinion, Na-bi should have acted differently: you can't treat a guy in a special way when you are in love, clearly in love, with someone else!
2- Acting 8
All of the actors did a really good job. I could feel their emotions and the passion of the characters. To make some examples I can think about some scenes:
- The kiss between Bit-na and Kyu Hyun was so good! I could feel that they wanted that kiss although she was drunk.
- Sol and Seo's confession was also full of emotions. I could feel that both of them didn't want to lose the other.
- In all their scenes I could feel a strong connection between Na-bi and Jea-eon. When Na-bi was with Do Hyuk I couldn't feel the same. It was also thanks to the cameras being so near their faces but it is also the good acting that mattered.
3- Music 8
I enjoyed all the songs, in particular:
- Like a butterfly
- Fall in love
4- RW 6.5
I guess I will rewatch some scenes but not the entire show because of the toxic nature of the main relationship.
P.S. I don't consider the rw while rating

Good Enough
Korean Drama 'Nevertheless,' gives a new perspective to college dramas.The drama has a pretty original story, bold and original, about a toxic relationship that is acknowledged by the lead and yet she can't stop it. It has a realistic aspect to it and a more mature mood. However, the ending was pretty cliche and ruined what the drama had built. The personalities of the main characters, especially the male lead, were also a bit vague and they should have been portrayed better. However, the love triangle was interesting and the side characters were pretty entertaining and they added a lot to the story, with a unique flavor and strong stories.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable and the atmosphere that the drama created, along with the OST, quite beautiful.
So, overall, 7 out of 10.

Needed character depth
It was blatantly obvious alright about what the drama was going to be about from the title. It didn't romanticise "toxic relationships" as some would say (I think people need to stop throwing the word "romanticise"around ) It relayed how people who find themselves in relationships like this think and analyse things. The show didn't hide the fact that that was the direction it was going to ,hence the title . I love slice of life dramas but this one lacked character depth, because that's what I was looking forward too. I understood the characters' mindsets but I was just annoyed there wasn't enough sensibility in the writing of their characters. One of the dramas I felt I wasted my time with,tbh.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Kinda good, kinda bad
This k-drama is a rollercoaster of emotions and quality of plot.The first ep was probably the worst in my opinion. The way they meet, the fact that they "fall in love at first sight", the way they become obsessed with each other??? That whole part was very strange, a bit like the typical cliché romance that a lot of k-dramas like to focus on. Their relationship doesn't get any better though, with them always going back and forth between liking and hating, wanting to be together and wanting to be alone, just a mess in general.
I see a lot of people hating on the ending, and I'd have to agree. The whole story was her realizing that he's not good for her and that she's happier when she's not thinking about him, but at the end she just jumps into his arms like nothing happened. Of course I was happy seeing them together, but I would have prefered if there was more learning/apologizing/realizing their feeling before they got together.
Yes, the story is very unrealistic and their relationship is very toxic, but I think there are some positives about this drama:
•The side couples: The fact that they included a queer couple makes me so happy. And the way they portraid them not wanting to ruin their friendship but at the same time wanting to express their feeling toward each other was so beautiful. 10/10 for that
•The cinematography: There were some scenes that were so beautifully shot that it made me want to eep watching. Also the fact that they never showed the ex-boyfriend / ex-girlfriend full frontal face and only shots of parts of their faces was genious, and such a small detail that I think maked a huge difference
•The acting: As bad as the story can be, the actors portraied it so well. It was almost lie you were living the story with them besides them
•SOME parts of their relationship: yes, it was toxic. yes, it was messy. But there were some parts of their story that made me root for them. The more gentle, intimate scenes between them were the refreshing parts of the plot.
Do I recommend? If you like cliché romance, yes. If you hate clichés, don't bother watching it

I don't get the reason why people hate this
I saw some reviews and I must say that based on my expectations it was better than I thought. Not only it got a message but it inspired me. I've always been into art and stuff like that but I never got the motivation to for example draw. But as soon as I started watching it came through me. I started drawing people in school or finishing my old drawings. But let's not talk about my current hobby. This k-drama felt short and I liked it, there was a love triangle that I wanted for some reason. I feel like this drama is rewatchable but maybe it's just because I finished it like half an hour ago and I am thinking about it a lot. This drama is a good option for taking a break from detective or crime dramas because it's pure I would say. Anyway, I am going to prepare for school just to zone out every second so have a good day.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one honestly. At times, I loved the main character and the beginning back story of her got me hooked, but it didn't really have much of a payoff in the long run. I feel like the story goes no-where and just staggers, all while the characters do all the wrong things.
The actors that they chose to play them were okay at times, I did enjoy the narration of the main character a lot to give a more inside look of what her thoughts were. It helps make it feel more relatable like I'm also experiencing those emotions and feelings with her. The guy was okay, he's definitely good looking but I feel like they gave him no back story at all and just used him for the romantic part of the story.
As always, I loved the side characters and the way they were all styled. Bit-na's style was so eccentric and different than what I was used to seeing in the k-dramas that I've watched and it was really nice. Sol's story I wish got more screen-time and looking into because I love having the LGBTQ+ representation and story. I feel like a lot of people can relate to them on that and I just wanted more.
Overall, I feel like I wouldn't re-watch at all. I loved the art school setting and the potential, but the payoff was eh. I wanted to like it more, but it just dropped off at some point and became super predictable.

RESEÑA <3
Hace bastante tiempo que quería ver este drama, pero sentía que iba a ser bastante aburrido y me iba a cansar pronto. Ahora, cuando me decanté por verlo, la verdad, que no me defraudó. Si que algunos capítulos quizá se hagan un poco pesados, pero por lo demás me gustó.Las actuaciones fueron espectaculares, tanto los principales protagonistas como los secundarios. No quiero dar spoliers, por que eso no me gusta, pero solo decir que las parejas me encantaron y la química que tenía una de ellas me enamoró.
Si que tuve algún pensamiento toxico respecto a algún personaje, pero también por otro lado, otros personajes me emocionaron y me dieron algo de tristeza.
Me gustó bastante este K-drama por el hecho de que trata sobre temas de arte, cosa que me gusta.
El OST es realmente extraordinario.

Disappointing Romance
"Nevertheless" is a drama that, unfortunately, did not meet my expectations. Although the plot seemed promising, the execution was disappointing.CONS
1. Irritating main characters:
Both the main male and female leads were hard to like. Their decisions and behavior were often illogical and frustrating, making it difficult to connect with them.
2. Disliked love triangle:
This trope frequently appears in dramas and did not appeal to me here. Instead of adding excitement, it only annoyed me.
3. Better secondary main character:
The secondary male lead was much more interesting and well-written, which unfortunately made the main lead pale in comparison.
4. Lack of dynamism:
Despite an interesting concept, the plot was drawn out and at times really boring. I missed the tension and surprising plot twists.
5. Unfavorable choice of actors:
I personally don't favor the actors playing the main roles, which made it even harder for me to engage with the drama and the story.
PROS
1.Relationships between supporting characters:
This was the only aspect that truly caught my attention. Particularly, the relationship between Bit Na and Kyu Hyun was interesting and worth watching. I love them!
2. Concept of the plot:
The idea behind the plot was good, but unfortunately, the execution did not live up to expectations.
3. Artistic elements:
The setting and artistic elements, including scenes involving sculpture and art, were visually pleasing and added a unique touch to the drama.
Do I recommend it?
Only if someone can understand the main female lead and her decisions, because otherwise, her behavior and foolishness might be irritating. I also recommend it if someone likes the actors featured in this drama. For me, "Nevertheless" was unfortunately very boring and exhausting to watch. If different actors were cast and the love triangle was removed, I probably would have enjoyed it much more.

so aesthetically pleasing LOVE the OST love han sohee
this is such an aesthetically pleasing drama from the beautiful art to the OST to the cinematography, BUT it is truly a frustrating show and because it’s so frustrating that’s why i’m not rating it higher although i tend to be pretty easy on my ratings. han sohee as always portrays her character very well, song kang could’ve done a little more, but i suppose that also has to do with the character he’s supposed to play. i would probably rewatch this solely for the aesthetics, but i would not watch until the end, just the first half.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
