Nevertheless: review ( no spoilers )

Hello – hello my little faces. The series Nevertheless is a South Korean production of 2021 and in the leading roles we see Han So-hee, Song Kang and Chae Jong-hyeop. It is based on the webtoon of the same name.

The story focuses on Na-bi and Jae-eon. Na-bi after a very bad break up decides never to fall in love again while Jae-eon is a sworn bachelor. He likes to flirt and has the title of “womanizer” but has not had a stable relationship with any girl.

When the two meet in a bar, their chemistry is unquestionable but Na-bi overhears a Jae-eon ‘s phone call and decides not to go their flirting to the next level. But fate has other plans for the two young people and makes them meet again. This time at the school of arts in which they both attend.

The series also shows the relationships of the other students of the school who belong to Na-bi’s circle of friends, focusing on the evolution they have as characters but also on their relationships.

My thoughts:

A little “ahead from the normal” compared to what we are used to see on the “innocent” k-dramas, Nevertheless came a little closer to the American productions without losing the core of the Korean series that we love so much. With a bit of a weird cinematography, the director sometimes focused on the protagonists, putting the person in front of them “in second place”.

The supporting roles of the series were really carefully written and not just to “fill” the scenes of the episodes. Interesting personalities, each with their own flaws and weaknesses made you believe that they are real people.

The series broke almost all the taboos of k-dramas. We saw sex from the first episodes ( always within the framework allowed it in order to avoid fines ), they spoke clearly about toxic situations and let’s not forget the gay couple who stole everyones’s hearts!!!

Nevertheless consists of 10 episodes lasting about an hour each and on August 29 the series will be available on Netflix.

It’s a 8.8/10 from me.
