Nevertheless, Episode 3

It gets boring. In terms of plot, there isn't much happening. I almost slept and was slapped awake by the ending sequence. Don't blame me! After the "temporary split up" between Nabi and Jae-Eon, we see how obsessed she was with him. Moreover, the lack of interactions with him created a void, made her life boring. She thought that Eun-han who is more "her type" would fill up the void, but he clearly didn't. As a viewer, I was bored to see her interact with Eun-Han cuz as Nabi said, there wasn't any spark. . The last sequence was exhilarating to watch and was the definition of the spark she desired. I'm not talking about the intimate scenes but the mere presence of him made her heart race. Nabi undoubtedly did some questionable actions. The one which was the most prominent was stalking. The overwhelming feelings and temptations clearly took a toll on her. In this ep, we can obviously see how she is neither naive nor innocent. She knows what she wants. This is what is relatable to a lot of people. This drama defines these emotions and even gives an outlook of how toxic they can be. Jae-Eon is indeed manipulative. I don't want to buy his "act of concern", but my alter ego urges that some part of him actually has a special liking to Nabi. The writers showed that through the scenes where he was visibly disturbed by Eun-Han and when he called the police thinking that it was an emergency situation with Nabi. I was clear about loathing him but now I'm confused. Haha, is it just me who doesn't want an arc in his character and stick to being a fboy? Seol-Ah, the mystery girl. I'm not sure what's her relation with Jae-Eon. My speculation is that she is either his sister or his "most memorable" ex. I'm most anticipating for Jiwan and Sol's plotline and hopefully, they will be an endgame. Jiwan was particularly annoying this ep and she certainly overreacted. I mean, she can go out on countless blind dates, but Sol can't hang out with a single guy? Also, she believes that there is a distance that is being gradually created between their friendship and that Sol is not communal anymore. She also has these growing uncertainties with her feelings toward Sol. And Sol's the best girl, I absolutely love her. I'm second most anticipating for Dohyuk. I'm excited to see him with Nabi and even just a standpoint of his character. And thrilled to see the potential impact (even though not as critical as Jae-eon's) he will bring (hopefully) into Nabi's life. I didn't expect to encounter him this early in the drama. I didn't expect Bitna and Kyuhyun to bloom a romance already. Considering Bitna's personality there's ought to be some conflicts. The cinematography and osts were splendid as always! The plot progression was very smooth. Each ep shows the relationship between Nabi and Jae-Eon growing effortlessly and it's well-paced for a 10 ep drama. My overall opinion about this ep is that plot-wise there wasn't much happening so I enjoyed it a bit lesser than the first 2 eps but it leisurely creates more room for getting to know the characters and their relationships which constantly improves the dynamics of the drama.

okay, I'm actually able to relate to Nabi's feelings towards Jae-eon cuz the drama is written and directed so well that I can actually see and feel the emotions from Nabi's perspective. Cuz in the start, it felt like I wanted to believe so bad that Jae-Eon is giving special attention and being nice to her only, eg: the jacket giving scene but when Nabi is confused about it, I am too. Ok, that racy dream tho lol, Nabi wake uppp!!! In the end, we see Jae-eon kissing another girl and I was pretty pissed about it but seeing Nabi kiss him few mins after, shocked me there. Cuz now we know that she doesn't deserve Jae-eon and that he is no good (haha we knew that from the start tho). So I wish to get to know more about Do Hyuk and see if he is at least better. I just love Nabi, man she's so realistic and relatable, at least to me. I love the atmosphere here, it gives out this indie vibes sorta aesthetic in a good way. I can literally feel the tension through the screen. Also, the osts are just perfect, it's sooooo good. Haha, one ep per week is killing me. I specifically enjoyed this a lot, even though I have mixed feelings, there are just so many good things about this drama that just can't be ignored. btw I love all the side characters here, looking forward to Sol the most. Is she lesbian? Seriously want this drama to touch some topics, and feature the lgbtq+ community well. I may probably rewatch this ep, man I hope they don't majorly mess up anywhere in the upcoming eps! Haha, I'm done now.
