Nevertheless,

First of all, NOT A TYPICAL KDRAMA. I m seeing reviews saying this is vulgar. OMG PPL! What are you? 13? Let's just be honest and agree that the world we live in way more vulgar than this and this drama is just a reality of ppl in their 20s.

Both leads are amazing in jobs and extremely professional. I just watched an interview where they were watching their kissing scenes and kept on rewinding that lol. The amount of self confidence it needs for anyone to do that HIGHHH.

Hays off to Song Kang doing so many projects back to back. Literally running from one drama shoot to another and yet maintaining the quality of his performance on point. Hope this season ends well and Netflix gives us a season 2 and not ruin the season 2 like they ruined love alarm's season 2.

The best thing about this kdrama is how the male lead deals with consent. He consistently expressed his boundaries and what he is offering. He is pretty forward, but he makes very clear moves and backs off if he notices she is not ready for it. Not once does he disparage her for rejecting him or setting her own boundaries, he always just smiles and let's her be. He listens to her. I think that's what makes this drama compelling and hot. And it's such an antithesis to the usual dramas which seem very sweet and loving and innocent, but are often rife with people taking advantage of each other, pushing the boundaries of friendships, and the classic grab her by the wrist and drag her of somewhere to talk or tell her off... Ugh.

Some good side romances and nice to see some lgbt representation.

Its a straight forward romance, not much more to it and not enough there to give it a 10, but so good for what it is.

Nevertheless is one of the most underrated drama. It may seem slow paced but that's what makes it more attractive and creates the tension. For me it was a beautiful the way the actors portrayed the characters and conveyed their emotions through expressions without much words. It is different from and not a typical romcom which makes it unique. Love is not always hearts and roses, it is sometimes confusing and irresistible. Both of the leads were insecurities born from past experiences. However, they had different expectations, priorities which created complications despite having mutual affection for each other. I loved the ending as well it is kind of open which does not show a happily ever after kind of vibe. So we just know that she chose the one she really likes for time being which we all would have done in her position. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every bit of the drama and binge watch it as well.

To be frank, I love the vibe of the drama, the newly added characters, the production, but I hate the ending. I read the entire manga over the summer. It tells the story of a girl falls in love with a playboy, soon realizes his nature, and then ends up dating with the second leading which seems to be nicer, kinder, and better, but the uncertainty still remains in their relationship. This drama however turned this story into a common, boring "bad guy gone good" story in the last episodes. It's certainly unrealistic. The screenwriter either misunderstood the core value of the manga or formulated it this way because someone as him or her to do that. I know that there are people who love this ending, but it does not please me.

So, it's not the best k drama i've ever watched, but for me it was kinda entertaining. I've liked the secondary characters, not really the main ones.

They were kinda stupid, especially the girl. Idk what to say about Jae-eon. He was a little toxic at some point, and that he changed so much was pretty unrealistic.

Also, Na-bi doesn't know how to make decisions.

Overall, it was entertaining but didn't give any good message.
