Nevertheless, (2021)
9/10
Actual consent and realistic relationships
28 November 2021
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.
