I don't like any couple in this drama. But I'm happy if Sol and Kyu-Hyun are happy.

For Na-Bi and Jae-Un, the only scene I liked with them was the last one. They were finally honest with each other.

I think Nabi should end up alone at the end of the drama, not to punish her, but it looks like she needs some time to find what she wants.

Thanks @missvictrix! Yes, for me the final scene was the bit I had loooooooong been waiting for (and had almost given up on): actual communication. Each week of this drama, I have been increasingly frustrated that not a single character really knows how to say what they're thinking openly. Our main pair are a disaster, but everyone else is hardly putting them to shame. Even our co-habiting grads keep dancing round the issue of actually *saying* what they want. Grrrrrrr. So, a moment's ugly honesty and straightforwardness from Na-bi actually felt cathartic (although I'm still in the dark about what Jae-eon really wants). In it to see how it ends now, but these characters are not ones that I wish to remember.

I expect a parting of ways. They'll meet ten years later at an art museum, he'll say, eyes glassy, as always, "Do you want to go and see the butterflies?"

She stares at him for a long, long beat, then, she'll ask, "Why?"

He smirks. "Just because."

She'll think and think and think, and finally she'll say, "Yes."

The rain starts to fall as they step onto the sidewalk, he'll offer her a herbal satchet, she'll say, "Nice. Where did you get it from?"

"America," he answers, after staring at her silently for twenty seconds.

The rain starts to fall, and a flock of butterflies come flying up to him, and say, "Hey, you're back. Where have you been?"

"America," he says, after staring blankly into space for about thirty seconds.

The end.

The fact that some people online are still trying to paint Jae-eon in a positive light after the end of this episode is mind-boggling lol. What a manipulative creep. He creeps me out even more than webtoon Jae-eon. I always thought his apartment looked weirdly like a murder cellar and I'm not convinced that he's not capable of murder after this episode, ha. Dude needs major psychological help.

But anyway, SOLJIWAN! This drama treats this couple so naturally that I think people don't realize HOLY CRAP WE HAVE A CANON HAPPY LESBIAN COUPLE IN A MAINSTREAM KDRAMA HOLY CRAP. This is SUCH a huge deal. 2021: Year of the Lesbians! I said it before and I'm saying it again!

I can't wait for this drama to end. Everyone is a walking red flag even potato boy. I guess he gets away with all his lies and manipulation because he is the sweet second lead.

This week is the dismantling of Jae-un, he looks very lonely now. His inability to really open himself up to other people and feelings leaves him stranded alone on his little island. He is falling short again in his attempt to regain Na-bi and just cannot bring himself to say what needs to be said, that he likes her and that Seol-A is not his girlfriend. Even worse, Na-bi is horrified by his manipulative cowardice.

In contrast, Do-hyuk really shines for me in this episode. Last week I did not have much hope for him, but it looks different now. I am impressed with the direct and open way he explained to Na-bi that he was jealous seeing her with Jae-un. He does not play games with her and has a lot of inner strength. Na-bi is clearly drawn to this strength, clarity and openness, she shares her worries with him and admits to being dropped from the exchange program (not shared with Jae-un). The umbrella metaphor says it all, she walks home all safe and dry, protected by Do-hyuk's umbrella. Once she meets Jae-un, the umbrella is knocked to the ground and she gets horribly wet.
Will there be a happy ending with Na-bi and Do-hyuk? Well, not sure about this (sadly). I am glad there is only one more episode, the drama really needs to come to an end now!

I really wish that Kyu-hyun had not been edited out so much. He is an important character in the drama and it only looks weird.

That rain scene. Oofff. So finally we see Jae Un’s facade cracking. He is frustrated. His charm is failing. I liked this episode. I like that Nabi is seeing things more clearly.
But please, ep 10 better end well. By well, I mean Nabi is single and working on her career :)

Initially this drama reminded me of Ariana Grande's Side to Side. Now it reminds me of Selena Gonez's Same Old Love.

I love Han So-Hee. She’s rocking this role. Loved her lip colors: Very alluring. With a less talented cast, the show would have been a big flop. Kudos to everyone involved. For me, this is a masterpiece.

Again, as some comments above have already mentioned, the main couple’s relationship is indeed dysfunctional.

Loved Sol and Jiwan’s couple. They’re natural and highlights the fact that love has no boundary. If the love brings out the best in you and in the other person, go for it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. How many people need to point out to NaBi and JaeEun, particularly NaBi, that being honest, forthright, revealing your emotions, are all integral to a healthy relationship? The art professor's scolding of NaBi about hoarding her emotions to the detriment of her artwork was 'spot on'. There was a real contrast there between JaeEun and NaBI .... JaeEun hoards his emotions but at least reveals them in his artwork, hence all his 'awards', whereas NaBi is closed-off altogether.

Ugh, ... I had to stop watching though and take a break when JaeEun grabbed NaBi's wrist and made her drop her umbrella. I thought the writers were going in the 'JaeEun's an agressive, manipulative a-hole' direction. I then watched the remainder, and realized JaeEun is just really immature. He put DoHyeok in the same position JaeEun had been in ... jealous over NaBi with another guy. I also appreciated JaeEun pointing out to NaBi that their physical relationship should not be 'news' to anyone, not even DoHeyok. And finally, when NaBi shares her 'regrets', she forces JaeEun to realize that a solely physical relationship is not necessarily worthwhile.

Perhaps the series will do a 3 yr time jump like some others have done, and JaeEun and NaBi will meet again when JaeEun and NaBi have both matured emotionally.

Also, super-frustrated that the entire emphasis seems to be on JaeEun changing his ways, but I think NaBi needs to change as well. She has never once told JaeEun exactly what she wants. His response, 'I thought that's what you wanted!' in the final scene was perfect.

NaBi seems more often like the 'coward' than JaeEun. She seems to still be 'ashamed' and 'humiliated' so much by her ex-lover's art exhibit regarding her sexuality that she can't disconnect from that in order to connect emotionally with JaeEun.

I want an ending seeing her doing therapy. Na-bi reminds me of the "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" series lead character Rebecca Bunch. She needs to know herself first before getting into a relationship with anyone.

1. She wanted the verbal affirmation, but when he did several times, She doesn't believe it.

2. Give her several handmade gifts to convey his feelings. I'm also an artist. When a fellow artist made a gift for me, I know what I am to that person without asking it. It's clear.

3. Na-bi is the one who requested to keep their relationship a secret also the same person who wants to have him as a boyfriend. when Jae-eon asks her out, she was surprised. Question herself again, if he really means what he said about going out.

Jae-eon on the other hand was not only broken but shattered all over the place. He also needs therapy. He knows what he wants, but has zero idea how to get it properly and gently.

Potato guy, He needs to chill and give Na-bi a space to figure out what she really wants first instead of pushing his personal agenda. Go get yourself a bowl of potato soup and enjoy the rain in the meantime. :)

I’m tired of them both (Na-bi & Jae-eon) and it’s not even real. (-_Q)

The more and more i watch im starting to think that Na Bi is Jae-eon's Love Calamity(like c-dramas Xianxia's call them),when he aks her questions she either gives one,a vague answer,evades or get's mad at it,when he asked her to date the same,she never says anything,the good,the bad and in between and when she doesn't get what she expects she is getting mad,karma comes at u boy as u got your hands onto a poisonous butterfly so it should be a blessing in disguise if u never get it back...Would feel bad for Potato Boy if she marks him in the end i guess...Asked this before but it's beyond me why everyone likes Na Bi so much aside from her looks...
This drama is almost full of toxic unlikable people aside from Sol and Kyu-Hyun.

YES! I was cheering when Na-bi finally stood up to Jae-un and gave him that scolding. (As unrealistic as it is that Jae-un pretty much monologued his evil intentions).

Love the umbrella/rain analogy in the final scene. I think the narrative is pretty cleear about which guy we should not root for. That said, this drama constantly keeps me on edge. I'm still not quite sure what's going to happen in the last episode!

Most hilarious moment- Na bi giving relationship advice.

Most cathartic moment- Jae un finally being less than perfect

Most heartwarming moment- the smile on Sol's face at the confession

When Jae-eon asked, "Why did you say that to Seol-ah?" I thought the drama was pulling the webtoon twist where Jae-eon seduced Na-bi out of revenge, which would've been so forced after the writer changed his character 180 degrees. I think we're definitely getting an unhappy ending (which frankly would be a happy ending) because Na-bi seems to be over him, but Jae-eon was sincere when he asked her out. If Bit-na and Kyu-hyun is the parallel of their relationship, then the message of this show is bad girls/bad boys can be tamed.

Na-bi fakes happiness with Do-hyuk like in her overly cheery texts. Even when she told him about the bad critique, instead of sharing her feelings, Na-bi just put on a happy face. Their conversations are painful to watch because they have nothing to talk about.

While our heterosexual couples had bed scenes, our lesbian confession had no kiss and only two hugs. I want to see the reactions of Sol and Ji-wan's friends to their relationship especially Se-hun. Thank goodness Bit-na and Kyu-hyun are back together so we can be done with their story. Editing out Kim Min-gwi was beyond distracting in how Bit-na and Jae-eon often looked like they were talking to themselves.

Sigh. Where to even begin? This episode was FRUSTRATING and that last scene was INFURIATING. Jae Eon and his lack of communication was FRUSTRATING. I don’t understand why he still did not tell Nabi that he and Seol-A were just friends. Why does he like to have people misunderstand him?

All his actions throughout this episode clearly indicated that he has feelings for Nabi. Why go through all that if he didn’t like her? Why make that bracelet. Why study glass making to help her with her sculpture. Why can’t he just TALK TO HER. I realize that he is a flawed character and that the drama has been trying to communicate to us that he probably had a broken childhood, which is why he has communication issues and doesn’t know how to form real relationships, etc. etc but ughhhhhhhhhhh so frustrating. Also, maybe instead of studying glass making, Jae Eon should take a course on COMMUNICATIONS instead. If Bitna can learn to communicate and redeem herself, SO CAN YOU.

That rain scene was NOT what I was expecting at all. He was being such a jerk and said such ridiculous things trying to make it seem like it was HER fault that she didn’t know that he has feelings for her. Granted, neither of them have been completely honest with each other about how they feel (Nabi has more than Jae Eon, of course), but Jae Eon was infuriating. His accusations were so ridiculous and I hate that he grabbed her arm to the point where he was really hurting her. Why did he even bring up the Seol-A situation again? He didn’t seem to care before but now he’s trying to use that against Nabi and accuse her of trying to screw his relationship with Seol-A over with her comment? Excuse me? What in the gaslighting hell….yes, Nabi did not have good intentions when she said that to Seol-A, but Seol-A also wasn’t innocent either. He was basically trying to justify his actions and wanted to make her feel guilty for hanging out with another guy…umm you guys are not in a relationship because YOU don’t want to commit. You expect Nabi to keep pining for you forever? Please.

I'm glad I watched this episode. It's relieved some of my frustrations: that conversation in the rain was cathartic (for me at least). They admitted to each other that they were (at times) manipulating each other. As he said, they were both jerks. The saddest thing is how Na-bi feels about herself. She started from a low point at the beginning of the drama and things have not improved since . She was objectified in the beginning: spread out in the exhibition like a receptive butterfly, publicly exposed. She fled into the arms of someone she could not trust to be careful of her emotions. Now she regrets everything and blames herself. She did not have the resources to establish a healthy relationship with him, and from what we can tell he is not that sort of material anyway. (BTW he is equally objectified)

The most revealing part for me was the point she gets to after the teacher's criticism. She is struggling to find out how she can portray her emotions in her art. It's not at all surprising that she has this dilemma because never at any stage has she been able to articulate her emotions. In fact, she barely knows what she really feels or even wants. She has known one thing: she has been drawn and irresistibly attracted to JE, but even then she was constantly pushing him away and then helplessly falling for him, again and again, like she was hypnotized. She has seemed zombie-like, under a spell, without agency, scrambling to re-gather control; and losing it again and again and again. It's not surprising that she is blocked in her artistic expression - she doesn't know what she feels and what she wants and she blames herself. (If I have to look at those empty and fragmented bodies another moment, I'm going to throw up.) It all goes back to that initial betrayal, the reduction of her to a sexual object. It's interesting that both men have wanted her since they saw her at the exhibition. I hope in the next episode she finds a way, perhaps through her art, to like herself again by taking more control over her life.

I wish they had lead the last 3 episodes or so with Nabi's internal process and conflict instead of giving us sly Jaeun over and over and over again. The last few seconds of Nabi finally speaking out and crying by herself is such a fresh and satisfying scene, but you do wonder why the hell hasn't she done that? If only we were guided through her conflict more by actually showing what's in her mind instead of what's in her mind IN RESPONSE to what Jaeun did.

And yes, I also want this to end badly BADLY without any time jump or anything to get them back together. It's even much better if we ended up on a more positive note with Nabi being alone and dealing with herself more.

I loved the fight scene at the end so much. I went back to loving to hate Jae-un, like I did in the first 4 episodes, and still really liking Na-bi.

I've been watching Nevertheless since it came out and I can't help but think it's losing some of it's moment. Yes it's still interesting but there's something that has definitely changed in terms of the ambiance. Maybe it's because things seem to be going at a snails pace in terms of story line progression within the episode? I'm not sure but if you want to know my thoughts on the characters check it out here: https://youtu.be/GTrU8A2waps

good for that american friend saying goodbye to Jae-un too. I'm not sure if it was the exact translation but vague kindness is low key savage and true with all his actions. I like the changes a lot compared to the webtoon also, fleshes out th Jae-un character by hearing his backstory. And now Na-bi is way more likeable. I also want to see these students do some actual ART! Maybe this is the catalyst for Na-bi to have actual emotion in her work.

Also I don't care what happens to anyone in the show lol just glad SOLJIWAN is working out!

This is show is so pretty though, the set - art class, Na-bi's room. They're almost another character in the show. Even Jae-un studio gives insight in his personality.
