Apesar de Tudo, Amor

Only one episode left but Nabi is still urgh.. This is really frustrating both characters doesnt know how to express their feelings its like both of them are having a game of charades. They technically making both their life difficult by always assuming ang never ask or verify the actions and words. They obviously have the connection but they both want to mess it up.. THIS IS SO MESSED UP STORY and now we are down to one more episode and im disheartened by episode 9.

Before I watched this drama I kept reading EVERYWHERE, how the character Song Kang plays was sooo toxic and that he was such a bad boy, and I was really looking forward to see him playing a character like that, well that's not what you will find. He plays a guy with deep emotions but wounded and that doesn't know how to love ( or doesn't really want to) until he actually does and falls in love with Nabi. Not ONE TIME in the show he disrespects or hurts the female lead in any way. He never promised loyalty nor exclusivity and she just has different expectations ( Korean social standards are very much narrow minded when it comes to sex and intimacy in an open way).

I find this show very realistic and aligned with how people actually behave in real life and I enjoyed watching the characters struggling trying to find the way of being okay with their feelings and learning how to express them.

Loved the representation of LGBT relationships and the other secondary couples where adding a lot of warmth to the story.

The only reason why I didn't give it a 10 is because his show would have been priceless with a better script, the potential of passionate and raw dialogues this one has...!!! Instead its a lot of unsaid words and unspoken emotions. But I enjoyed It throughly regardless.

I had high expectations for this one, because I really liked it after watching the first episode. But as the series went on, I started to dislike it. It glorified and romanticized toxic relationships. The ending of this show just made it all worse. I feel like I only watched this for the side characters' plots, which I really liked!

First of all, NOT A TYPICAL KDRAMA. I m seeing reviews saying this is vulgar. OMG PPL! What are you? 13? Let's just be honest and agree that the world we live in way more vulgar than this and this drama is just a reality of ppl in their 20s.

Both leads are amazing in jobs and extremely professional. I just watched an interview where they were watching their kissing scenes and kept on rewinding that lol. The amount of self confidence it needs for anyone to do that HIGHHH.

Hays off to Song Kang doing so many projects back to back. Literally running from one drama shoot to another and yet maintaining the quality of his performance on point. Hope this season ends well and Netflix gives us a season 2 and not ruin the season 2 like they ruined love alarm's season 2.

Nevertheless might have been much better, if there was a good storyline, likeable pair of lead characters and a bit decent pacing.

The story never felt like romance, instead it was 90% complications for the leads, which I felt kind annoying and the end wasn't compelling enough. I personally like the lead characters (So Hee Han & Song Kan) but there pairing felt dumb, disappointing and it never kept the show to be interesting. Instead I was quite amazed by the pairing of the supporting characters, which were developed quite well.

The only positive thing about this drama was the music which I felt was soothing to the ears and quite melodious. Along with that, I loved how the relations developed among the other supporting cast, which was way better showcased than the lead characters. It was a wasted potential, Nevertheless.

Cons: Unlikeable lead characters Weak storyline Less of love story, more of irrelevant complications among the pair The pacing was very slow, with couple of episodes being flat boring

Pros: The OST was soothing and melodious The supporting casts had a better relationship development.

My Rating : 5.5/10.
