Nevertheless Writings

  Nevertheless introduced Nabi and Jaeeon’s first meet from a really intimate perspective through its camera work. With extreme close-up shots and blurred background, it creates the right mood. How in a room full of people, it felt like they were the only ones there. It’s so immersive and reflective of the emotions felt between the two.  Also, I think it emphasises how their story was only meant for them two to share. Just like any other relationship, it’s best to go about it together first, but of course, sometimes the noise around us has its impact.  Thinking about what I love about nevertheless made me reminisce again over how beautiful the cinematography is especially paired with the soundtrack. It’s just so entrancing and completely draws you in every shot. mooonabi

  A not so mainstream drama with a bittersweet storyline. A story that is more aligned to what happens in real life. It was interesting to watch how characters succumbed to their desires even though they knew it might be wrong. I have read so many negative reviews for this one but I actually don't understand why people find it not interesting. The main leads are beautiful together; their chemistry and the sexual tension throughout keeps you on edge. Even the side characters have a good story. Song Kang as Park Jae Eon played a bad boy which is not so common. We need to understand that not everything is white or black. People exist even in the grey belt. He never once disrespected or harmed Nabi. He never promised any commitment to her. It's all expectations. Maybe if they showed more of his past; we would've understood why he was afraid of commitment. He never received love; his mom left when he was 10. The lack of his past made him seem more toxic. He was wounded and could

There’s no denying that Nabi choosing Jaeeon caused a storm throughout the audience of Nevertheless - but why is that? I’d like to delve into Dohyeok’s character to ponder why this happened, and explain why I believe Nabi’s choice wasn’t the big deal most people thought it was. I first will explore a trope used in Nevertheless, to try to understand why audiences particularly loved Dohyeok. Childhood romance is a common trope used in dramas, and it certainly is loved. Though I’m not so big a fan, I do understand the appeal! We learn of a potential past romance between DH,and NB. DH still clearly hung up on his first love, his feelings for NB only grow when they reunite, making audiences root for their rekindling. If they were in different circumstances, I’m sure I would've fallen for them too… I do however believe that the plot of the drama had no space for a childhood romance, due to the more mature themes, and complexity of the story. It wasn’t a drama fit for somewhat unrealistic

  I feel like I’ve asked this before but what’s the most painful episode of Nevertheless lol — Ep 9 certainly, but also this scene in Ep 7. I think what was so heartbreaking is that it demonstrated both the depth of their feelings for each other and also the depth of their communication challenges. You see some saw JE as asking for consent, but NB already consented to kissing him - and she was approaching him for more. He wasn't asking "Is it ok to continue kissing?" but "Is it ok for me to continue to pursue this thing between us because I'm all in.” And this is very consistent with his headspace after he faces his feelings in Ep 6. He wants to be with NB so he tries to convey it to her. He's bad at it, he's so bad at it. The boy is awful at spoken communication, but goddammit does he try! And at the same time he is trying to figure out how NB feels - he senses that she likes him, but he can't make sure without her actually saying it. But what she th
