You may recognise the female lead, Han So Hee, as the infamous mistress in the hit 2020 drama, The World of the Married. She blew viewers away with her previous performance as the brazen third party, and has since successfully transformed herself into a reserved art college student who doesn't believe in love after a bitter first love experience.
Han So Hee might only possess a few years of acting experience, but she pulls off the character of Yoo Na Bi, who tries to stay aloof in front of the flirtatious Park Jae Eon, perfectly.

The noteworthy main leads aside, Nevertheless is also a realistic portrayal of today's dating culture, touching on topics like one-night stands and casual dating. We have Na Bi who prefers only committing to one partner both emotionally and physically, while Jae Eon treats physical intimacy as a game of sorts.
The drama follows the ups and downs of Na Bi as she stays conflicted between giving in to her attraction for Jae Eon and wanting a stable relationship. Meanwhile, Jae Eon stays a mystery for viewers and Na Bi alike, with the most obvious thing we know about him is that he loves butterflies (as of episode 4), but that's about it.
#4 Reminds us of red flags to look out for in real life

#5 Good chemistry between the main leads

Do Hyuk is a childhood friend of Na Bi, and his cheerful and puppy-like disposition is a stark difference compared to Jae Eon, the mysterious player.
Will Na Bi end up with the kind Do Hyuk, or will her attraction to Jae Eon prevail till the very end? We can only wait to find out in the upcoming episodes!
