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

@joakimfors
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.
@joakimfors
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.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

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

#Nevertheless #kdrama

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

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Everything and everyone blowing up now.  

#Nevertheless #kdrama

BTW Bit Na (Hye Ji) looks like STAYC Yoon

Sol/Ji Wan 😭 화이팅

… aaand 🦋 cliffhanger

#Nevertheless #kdrama

IJBOL, said Bit Na looks like STAYC Yoon and now she’s in a bar where ASAP is playing in the background   

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Seol Ah always causing trouble. At least JiSol is on the right track.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Bit Na is a riot. The desperation.  

#Nevertheless #kdrama

… well that's one ship hoisting sails. A few more to go. Some people better hurry t f up to get their stuff in order, only 1 ep to go.

… starting to recognize this city wall.

… yellow umbrella time?!

#Nevertheless #kdrama

YES! ☔

Well… ok then.  

Writer-nims causing trouble again. Suspect ep 10 is going to be complicated.

… haven't seen Mr White Truck yet either.  

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Yes, Jae Eon, you should have listened to Gyu Hyeon and stopped playing.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Hmm, is JiSol confirmed sailing too?

… and Bit Na is D E D HAHAHAHAHAHA

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Confirmed, JiSol is the cutest… BitHyeon not far behind. Needed those couples to hold the angst team at bay.  

A bit curious if KPam and KJim in the KOffice are going anywhere too.

The sculpture got hit by the ghost of the white truck.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Seems like Mr Noodle is back in the friend zone. KPam&KJim are basically married, just that no one has told them yet.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Well, everything is sailing.

Would have liked the ending resolved just a tiny bit differently. Felt the later part of the drama was carried by the other couples.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@joakimfors the girl couple was so adorable 🥹
@JillsJoy Totally; Best chemistry, most natural, believable storyline, softest. Carried the later half with assistance from Bit Na who was hilarious.
