#nevertheless — Public Fediverse posts

@EllenInEdmonton @mel What I'm struggling a bit with figuring out is why he didn't tell Nabi that Seolah had lied to her. It felt like he was going to until he saw Nabi with 2ML in the village. He didn't give up, just chose the hard way… why?

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@mel @EllenInEdmonton Yeah, he for sure didn't help by being vague and mysterious. But during the not-dating-dating phase he was committed IIRC.

I don't think he himself actually said that he would not date, only other people told Nabi that. Though there was a brief exchange where that could be implied though at the same time not.

(Don't know how much was lost in translation either, might be more clear in Korean)

@EllenInEdmonton @mel I don't really know where I'm going with this train of thought. Perhaps it's more a rejection and criticism of societies that create such rigid artificial rules that make persons forsake good things. 😅

*feeling rebellious against norms*

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@whoosh @mel @EllenInEdmonton He didn't know at first but Seolah told him later that she'd lied to Nabi and he could have chosen to try to explain/fix things then but instead it turned into some kind of game/one-upmanship. Which I guess was in character but very predictable.

Yeah, I somewhat understand the purpose of this triangle but it felt like it added another layer of complications when they already had more esoteric dilemmas set up, ready to explore

@joakimfors @mel @EllenInEdmonton

It's been a while since I watched, but I don't think he knew (at least for a while) that Seol Ah lied to Nabi.

I think the triangle is a great way to contrast a socially acceptable "normal" relationship that would be pretty guaranteed vs. taking a chance on something that doesn't meet society's expectations.

Will she stick with convention or take a risk? IMHO, this is one triangle that had a purpose besides jealousy.

@mel @EllenInEdmonton Yeah, they coould perhaps have dumped the 2ML after the field trip and done a longer, not so catastrophically forced, mishap to allow the to work things out more naturally… like the start of the show.

But by then my focus was on the two other couples… guess I'm more frustrated that the mains stole screen time from them 😅

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@EllenInEdmonton @mel

They went wild and free with the initial decoy mains to make room for the more "controversial" actual main couple. When the audience has been lulled into a false sense of security in the first half the fake mains get a generic storyline and the actual story can develop beautifully.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. :blobcatgiggle: 2/2 (?)

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@EllenInEdmonton Yeah, it's quite lazy. A lot of the time preceded by some unnecessarily dramatic trivial misunderstanding just to stretch the episodes.

Pinging in @mel as I understood they have thoughts on the complete show

Aaaanywhooo, after having slept on this and digested it a bit my crazy wild delulu theory is that the real main leads are Sol and Ji Wan. Nabi and Jae Eon are just a really elaborate cover to get past the censors/prejudice. 1/n

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Well, everything is sailing.

Would have liked the ending resolved just a tiny bit differently. Felt the later part of the drama was carried by the other couples.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Seems like Mr Noodle is back in the friend zone. KPam&KJim are basically married, just that no one has told them yet.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Confirmed, JiSol is the cutest… BitHyeon not far behind. Needed those couples to hold the angst team at bay. :amoroso:

A bit curious if KPam and KJim in the KOffice are going anywhere too.

The sculpture got hit by the ghost of the white truck.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Hmm, is JiSol confirmed sailing too?

… and Bit Na is D E D HAHAHAHAHAHA

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Yes, Jae Eon, you should have listened to Gyu Hyeon and stopped playing.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Well… ok then. :blobcatfacepalm:

Writer-nims causing trouble again. Suspect ep 10 is going to be complicated.

… haven't seen Mr White Truck yet either. :blobcatgiggle:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

… well that's one ship hoisting sails. A few more to go. Some people better hurry t f up to get their stuff in order, only 1 ep to go.

… starting to recognize this city wall.

… yellow umbrella time?!

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Bit Na is a riot. The desperation. :blobcatgiggle:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Seol Ah always causing trouble. At least JiSol is on the right track.

#Nevertheless #kdrama

IJBOL, said Bit Na looks like STAYC Yoon and now she’s in a bar where ASAP is playing in the background :ablobjam:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Sol/Ji Wan 😭 화이팅

… aaand 🦋 cliffhanger

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Everything and everyone blowing up now. :blobcateyes:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Rolling up in the PPL Maserati you just received as you do. Turning up the pressure. Awkward bro roadtrip to the fairs. :blobcatgiggle:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

Nabi falling asleep while camping… just accept that you're 2ML bro. :blobcatgiggle:

#Nevertheless #kdrama

@mel @JillsJoy @EllenInEdmonton Even though there is tension it's still very relaxed and free from the most formulaic stuff. Nice. Nabi is just stuck in her own preconceptions/trauma/societal expectations.

I'm actually a bit more interested in the Sol/Ji Wan ship as that is a lot more complicated/sensitive.
