I’m on a #kdrama pilgrimage today, visiting the noodle shop from Nevertheless and most importantly, the railway crossing from #MyMister, a leading character in the show. This is a super cute and trendy area with upscale cafés and restaurants side by side with very old and tiny houses and businesses.

@EllenInEdmonton Hmm, I should pick Nevertheless back up. Just looked like it was going places that hurt last time

I really liked Nevertheless and I recently rewatched it. It approaches relationships a lot differently than most k-dramas. More realistic, in my opinion. And the Art School environment was interesting.

@EllenInEdmonton Yes, only 1.5 eps in but that's the vibe I'm getting. Also why it is a bit scary as it's unpredictable. Quite high, but fragile, tension already.

Agreed. A lot of folks have pointed out that you are only inside her head for the show. Personally, I find his character super interesting. And attractive, obviously. Song Kang has taken on a pretty wide range of characters in his work and he nails them all. It was amazing that Sweet Home (especially season 2) was just appallingly bad but any scene that included him just glowed. Excited for his military service to be completed.

@EllenInEdmonton @joakimfors I enjoyed the Japanese version of Nevertheless, too.

@JillsJoy @EllenInEdmonton @joakimfors I liked the Japanese version for the styling; scenery, clothes etc was all amazing. Story wise the #kdrama wins for me. I liked how rounded the characters were, and eg. how the ML always asked for consent etc while everyone was messing up just like you do at that age.

@mel @JillsJoy @EllenInEdmonton Even though there is tension it's still very relaxed and free from the most formulaic stuff. Nice. Nabi is just stuck in her own preconceptions/trauma/societal expectations.

I'm actually a bit more interested in the Sol/Ji Wan ship as that is a lot more complicated/sensitive.

Nabi falling asleep while camping… just accept that you're 2ML bro.

Rolling up in the PPL Maserati you just received as you do. Turning up the pressure. Awkward bro roadtrip to the fairs.

Maserati sponsored a number of shows for a bit. Oddly, I didn't see any on the streets, even in Haeundae where luxury cars were everywhere.

@EllenInEdmonton It's quite funny as it's somewhat possible to guess the date of a show just by what PPL cars they're using. 😅
