I feel like I should mention right off the bat that I do tend to have a bias against dramas based on webtoons, because they follow a very similar pattern that I don’t actually enjoy watching, but the premise of this one intrigued me and there are only a couple episodes available so far so I thought why not?

I don’t mind the first episode, it caught my attention at the start and managed to maintain it throughout from what I can remember. I was also very impressed with the female lead’s character and how she managed the break up (although completely giving up on love because of it felt a tiny bit extreme but I can at least understand her feelings), especially with how confident she was able to break it off and remain with herself afterwards. The male lead also seemed interesting, even though it was so obvious from the start to me what his character was going to be and how he was going to act later on. I was really happy when she left him and hoped that she wasn’t just going to let him do whatever he wants with her cause he’s charming, but unfortunately that seems to be exactly what happens in the second episode. I appreciate the different reaction of the main girl who knows she likes the main guy and even inadvertently shows it, instead of the typical female lead (not necessarily in kdramas) who hates them for no reason when they meet and the lead falls for them immediately because they’re “not like anyone else they’ve met before” cause their act doesn’t work on them. But it’s gotten to be so annoying how, because of her interest, she’s letting him get away with everything, and it doesn’t cause her to pull back from the situation at all - she says she’s going to after recognising one of the many, many signs that they’re not emotionally compatible and aren’t looking for the same things in a relationship, but then proceeds to talk and stare at each other long enough that they make out (or try to most of the time) and I can tell it’s only going to get worse from here.

I just realised there’s kind of a clue in the name “Nevertheless,” in that every bad sign she sees is met with defiance and the want to be with him no matter the obvious regret and pain that’s going to happen later. E.g “I’m not the only one. Nevertheless,” - title of Episode 2. So I guess if this was technically the inherent theme of the drama, I can’t judge it that badly, it’s just not for me.
