Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love

I was looking over shows, and this had come up. I'm familiar with the Korean version and wanted to try it. It was very cinematic from beginning to end.

I Honestly felt a bigger impact compared to the Korean show. The drama is not really there which I like, no big misunderstanding and a great storyline.

The photographs conveyed tension and chemistry, and the overall story was beautiful. I didn't feel frustrated with the characters, and the actors were very charismatic.

The actors were very photogenic and I could actually feel their emotions, I ended up crying at this masterpiece of a show. This version of Nevertheless is honestly more realistic. And it will leave you with a sense of awe, It is very poetic, and I recommend it!

I don't usually leave reviews, but I just had to. This version is SUPERIOR to the korean one, and I mean by far. Actually, I just don't understamd k-dramas at this point. Unrealistic and completely dragged, focusing way too much on worthless drama. But the Japanese version? Pure, pure artistry. Every shot - a work of art. Every character - amazing. The soundtrack, the simple fashion, the focus on the depth of a person, instead of their fleeting feelings. Please watch this, you will not be disappointed. I've wasted my time with the k version, but I should have known that the Japanese do everything much better.

Eight episodes of just around thirty minutes each might seem short, but they use that time well to tell simple yet heartwarming stories. There's sincerity in the way the series lets you step inside the characters' thoughts, making their feelings easy to understand and connect with. The beautiful visuals elevate each scene, with photographs and the recurring imagery of butterflies adding a lasting sense of meaning.

I was captivated by it. The visuals were stunning, and the storytelling was rich and immersive; it truly felt as if a beautiful poem had been brought to life on the screen. Each actor infused their performance with genuine emotion, making every scene resonate deeply. I am grateful for the remarkable experience you've created! As a point of comparison, I watched a few minutes of the Korean version, and I mean, no offence, but it struck me as rather farcical compared to the depth and artistry of this rendition. If there is any second season I would love to wait to watch it. 10 out of 10. Brilliant job all the actors and crew 👏👏👏.

Nevertheless: The Shape of Love (2024) is a Japanese remake of the Korean drama "Nevertheless" (2021). The first thing you may notice is the quality and level of tenderness the series conveys.

The show is somewhat nostalgic and visually lush with seemingly endless gorgeous shots and background scenery. As a drama it was very high quality, with excellent cinematography and lighting, beautiful music, compelling cast of characters and a subtle but moving storyline.

This JDrama was a real treat. The film style was very polished and portrayed a lush, hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. The story, although compelling, was very much a slice-of-life story.

"Ren Kosaka, a young talented artist, arrives in Kamakura, Japan for a temporary lecturer position. His aura attracts people, yet he keeps distance. When he meets a woman, his emotions change despite knowing the potential consequences."

This drama was full of heart and soul, dealing with the little intricacies of varied relationships. It was very sweet and touching series that I'm glad I stumbled across. Very artistic and of higher quality. Gice it a chance!
