Most realistic drama so far
This drama is made with such passion it gives the oportunity to viewers to relate so bad no matter from which point or character they look through. It shows variety of characters and personalities filled with emotion, energy, interest and much more. It is one rollercoaster creating an unique vibe which is easy to be felt by everyone because it involves you into a daily life routine along friends and family. People who would say it is not for everyone they would be wrong. The story is summarized and rapidly ongoing in order to not get bored or lose interest. Main leads are charming and playing their roles pretty damn good. Everyone else is following different vibes and interests but all conected to the core of the drama. Enjoy and have a good oneWas this review helpful to you?
Odd, yet surprisingly good
Upon reading all of the reviews online I was very sceptic at first. I expected this to end up being one of those filler dramas for me, which felt horrible as I wished for Song Kang to appear in some really good drama after how much of a fiasco was PERSONALY FOR ME Love Alarm.I was amazed.
Despite all of the reviews, the show made me get incredibly attached to both the leads. Don't get me wrong, I hated them both, but their story progression and past made me wish good for them. I have to say, the drama is very split, 1st half is filled with exciting moments, realistic yet unrealistic settings, while the second half is more somber, melancholic and leaves strong emotions.
Another point I always saw in reviews was the lack of symoblism, which I honestly never found to be there. There are plenty of symbolisms, a lot of connections to other parts of the story, the name of the story, NaBi's name itself. All of it was connected not only through the story and what we saw, but also through the idea of everyone being an art student - which again, despite being critiqued a lot, because it apparently made the scenery boring for some people, I accepted very well, it made me think more about the story too (this is a kdrama, ofc there isn't a masterminded plot of artistic expressions, but it did deal with some topics of art and I was very happy to see that as school-placed dramas are one of my favourites, it was a breeze of fresh air to finaly not have the leads be either super smart math kids against bullied kids or smt like that, which I find is often used in school dramas - social status etc.)
What made me very happy was the OST - there are very few OSTs I remember and listen to and Butterfly is one of them. Considering the fact most of the OSTs on my playlist are there because they are by one of my favourite artists or were covered by them, this is pretty amazing to me.
If I had to put Nevertheless in some form of a category, it would be really, really hard. It did earn a spot as one of my top favourites and I am still amazed. And even after watching BEFORE reading the webtoon, I know the webtoon will be worth my time and I will read it - because this was a rollercoaster of emotions, relationships and everything.

Relationships with fear !
I might have a different take on the two main leads....I think they are both dealing with fear and to be in that state, we are observing what happens! The FL, of course, after having been used and abused is heading into a toxic place that is hard to control for her. She has lost some self esteem and is trying to regain her footing. The ML I don't think is as much of a playboy as it is being portrayed so far. For whatever reason that hasn't been disclosed yet, he is non-committal. But now he has met his match! A girl that has captured his heart. Each person playing their part in this drama is amazing. And each relationship we are witnessing is bringing to surface their weaknesses. So let's see how it all unfolds. It sure has captivated my interest!Was this review helpful to you?

yall would probably hate it
im a person that is uncomfortable with the whole concept of relationships, and i mainly just respect the attractiveness of people lol, so keep that in mind when reading my review.also, i really needed this ending after what happened in love alarm s2, so thank you to the director of nevertheless,
story:
i really hated some episodes of this drama, especially the ones near the end. i loved the last episode (but i know a lot of yall would really strongly disagree). im happy with how the whole thing turned out. i've kinda always rooted for jaeon since the beginning, but near the end (like eps 7-8) i started just hoping that nabi would end up with noone, because jaeon had fucked up so badly. i never liked do hyeok. he doesn't match with nabi at all. sure, he's sweet, but i feel like he's more of a little brother than an actual boyfriend. yes, jaeon is toxic and he was a walking red flag, but id like to think that he's changed near the end of the drama. yall can come for me idrc
acting/cast:
song kang is so bad at acting- there mightve been like 2 scenes where i thought he was decent but otherwise.. i don't think he plays the character *that* well. he's just attractive and that's why he's popular (which i'm not complaining btw, i'm not that picky about how good someone's acting is). the female lead (nabi - idk her real name) is pretty good at acting. she's also pretty :)
music:
i got so tired of the music so i'm just not gonna say anything abt it. it's not necessarily bad.
rewatch value:
i might rewatch a couple episodes in the future, but definitely not the whole drama.
overall:
don't watch this if you like sweet innocent boys lol. it'll probably make you really mad.

what a bunch of bull…
I mean I was willing to give this show a try even though it was insufferable to begin thing but my god I could not finish it.That was the most toxic shit ever like give me a break I wonder who actually enjoys watching this or thinks it’s wholesome. like you go girl but that’s not for me.The main lead was so toxic I could not stand to watch him act, love the actor but damn that was an infuriating watch. I get people saying that well it’s part of life and whatever and people actually go through that but let’s not watch abuse through rose coloured glasses yallWas this review helpful to you?
Two sides of a coin
I watched this the first time more from the female lead's perspective. I thought, "This was a good story"--then, it dawned on me that if i watched it a second time from the male lead's perspective i would get a dramatically different feel for the story. I really don't understand the bad reviews. The second time around I admired and enjoyed nuances of the acting I missed the first time. The main relationship as well as the secondary ones leaves an opening for dialogue about modern relationships and the choices made. The music was awesome. The story had more depth than originally perceived. I would watch it a 3rd time, but I'm going to wait a few weeks to see if the 3rd time offers more insights. The two main leads were very expressive when you add more layers to their thoughts. They were young adults stumbling through what a relationship is and how to develop one. Akwardness, insecurity, intensity, the occasional snippy comment...seems very realistic.Was this review helpful to you?

two young people trying to come to terms with commitment and love.
First of all the aesthetics of the mundane lives of artists was so beautiful. the filming locations were so cozy and the cinetography was amazing, the music also matched perfectly and pulls together an over all romantic melancholy feeling. leaves you with such a pit feeling in your stomach like you just relived the hardest emotional trials in your life. It feels so realistic that the story could be told to you by a friend in day to day life.. It does indeed drag by the middle end, and the ended is up to how you'd interpret it I feel that it's still realistic no relationship starts pretty, they both decided to take a change on eachother and finally be honest with eachother and I think that's beautiful, they accepted eachother through all the hurt they cased eachother (she caused him just as much pain in uncertainty then he did to her and he was honest the entire time she knew what he was about.)But if you're expecting what the webtoon gives you I would just count it as it's own entity separate from the webtoon because the endings are very different and they made the male lead go in a very different direction and I like him better in the kdrama hahaha who wouldn't honestly!!
The butterfly stuff was so pretty, I just loved how it added to the overall aesthetic and its just through and through a cozy yet emotional watch!!
p.s. I loved all of the side characters so much! Bitna was my favorite in the side characters!! But, I didn't see the chemistry in the 2nd love interest to Nabi but that may just be me lol (I cant even remember his name) honestly any other person didn't have the chemistry with Nabi that Jaeon did, they had an undeniable connection, they just needed to figure out how to grow up and properly treat eachother!!
any way it's toxic because they're immature but I think they grow by finally being honest with eachother and I wished them a beautiful future together by the end.

Their chemistry is the most sparkling and realistic I have ever seen in a kdrama
This kdrama portrays the story of Nabi, an art student who at the beginning of the plot ends a relationship with a man who always puts his interests ahead of our main character. In this story we follow Nabi falling in love again after being in a toxic relationship. This is when Park Jae-eon character is presented to us, a mysterious, charismatic and seductive boy for whom Nabi begins to develop feelings throughout the plot. The extraordinary chemistry that exists between the two main characters is undeniable and I have to say that their chemistry is the most sparkling and realistic I have ever seen in a kdrama. What makes this relationship an incompatible long-term relationship is the fact that each character has a different perspective about romantic relationship however, in my opinion, we can see that in the final episodes there is an inner change in the character of Park Jae-eon, an example of this is the fact that he releases his butterflies, as if he wanted to give himself a new beginning, as if he wanted to give a new narrative to his story (I could be wrong, but this is purely my perspective).The remaining characters that make up the cast of this kdrama complement and bring more lightness to the development of the story. All the characters portray very well what it is like to be a young person and how complex and confusing it is to have these ages.
The entire atmosphere of the story, the way it’s filmed, the colors, the aesthetics and the soundtrack elevate this kdrama to a whole different level and make it very enjoyable to watch. The feeling this kdrama leaves is bittersweet, but it's really worth to watch.

Nevertheless is a slow-burn romance that is both frustrating and satisfying.
Nevertheless is a slow-burn romance that is both frustrating and satisfying. The characters are well-developed and the actors give phenomenal performances. The cinematography is beautiful and the soundtrack is perfect.The show is not without its flaws. The pacing can be slow at times, and the characters' actions can be frustrating. However, the show's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. The characters are complex and relatable, and the show's exploration of love, sex, and relationships is both honest and insightful.
Overall, Nevertheless is a well-made and enjoyable show. It is not for everyone, but if you are a fan of slow-burn romances, then you will definitely want to check it out.

Original and daring
Original, thought-provoking, and daring. A masterpiece as far as the Korean series go. The actors all did a fantastic job and the variety of characters, their quirks, and sheer reality of their depictions leave one glued to the screen.It is sad that this series gets such a bad rep on various social media outlets. People who like a typical sugar-coated, far-fetched, conservative Korean drama might not actually like this series. For the rest of us, it is a breath of fresh air.
The bulk of negative comments online surround the male lead character and his "poisonous" personality. Also, the relationship between the male and female leads is frequently described as toxic. If you watch this and your negatives only pertain to the male lead - you have missed a lot.
The male lead does not want a relationship - the female lead does not want love. She is raised by a mother so frequently in and out of love that she is determined not to go down the same route. He does not think one needs to settle. Their physical attraction and their inexperienced selves think they can handle a detached and aloof relationship - that was their common starting point. Yet they fall for each other without even knowing it- and they spend a good amount of time denying it.
This is a story about love if there ever was one. A story that is much more rooted in modern reality than 90% of shows out there. It is original, heartfelt, and exudes love and emotions. A coming of age and growing-up story, too.
