At the end of the previous episode, Na-bi and Jae-eon had sex. It was a romantic moment, if not for the inconvenient fact that by seeming mutual agreement Na-bi and Jae-eon aren t making their relationship public. The fourth episode explores the ramifications of this over the long term. Na-bi is genuinely happy in her friends with benefit style arrangement. But elsewhere, her social life seems to be nonexistent. The second male lead Do-hyeok is introduced as an old childhood friend who Na-bi sees while visiting her mother.

The maternal visit itself is brief but rather illuminating. We find out both that Na-bi does not appear to have had a father figure growing up, and also that her mother enjoys sex. Now, there s nothing wrong with that. The issue here is that Na-bi feels neglected, and is easily flattered by positive attention. This explains a lot about why she s so amenable to Jae-eon s often cryptic displays of affection. Jae-eon is so warm and attentiv

So last cliffhanger Na-bi and Jae-eon shared a successful kiss. But it wasn t a very good one. I greatly appreciated the disgusted look Na-bi gave as she turned away, less out of any enmity toward the man she kissed and more just due to her naturally being repelled at how his mouth tasted like cigarette smoke. For all her moods, Na-bi is still a college student through and through. So even when she s being perceptive, Na-bi Nevertheless succumbs to temptation.

The previous episode of Nevertheless ended with our lead couple about to engage in a highly romantic kiss under the backdrop of cherry blossoms. This tone persists throughout the second episode. And yet both Na-bi and Jae-eon insist to their friends that they are not dating. What would seem like bashful modesty in another drama takes on cryptic proportions here. Is Jae-eon actually trying to protect Na-bi s feelings, or is he just giving himself cover for shameless flirtation?

Na-bi herself makes this same logical deduction, and it s all too easy to empathize with her frustration. It feels like she s being overly paranoid. But at the same time, Na-bi s own desire to overcome this paranoia due to a bad past relationship feels like a desperate rationalization on her part to ignore the red flags Jae-eon sets off. Observe how one chance meeting at a nightclub leads to Na-bi feeling distinctly uncomfortable, as Jae-eon defies the trend for the rest of the e

Na-bi (played by
Han So-hee) is a young art student whose name literally translates as butterfly. As the word butterfly has an obvious artistic interpretation, in Korean it s is often used as a pun. But Na-bi discovers to her horror that her boyfriend Hyeon-woo (played by
Choi Sung-jae) has used it for his latest work of art in such a way that the pun doesn t really make sense, for a piece that s excessively sexually provocative. Humiliated by the public insult, and feeling like little more than a sex object, Na-bi tries to recover emotionally.

The opening for Nevertheless sets the mood chiefly by explaining the meaning of the title. Literally in Korean, Neverthess more directly translates as I know but. Which is to say, as Na-bi mulls over her relationship with Hyeon-woo, she sees the obvious red flags. She sees in retrospect how he would simultaneously flatter her as a woman but disparage her as a person. Na-bi is doubtful that love is even rea
