In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Nevertheless," is modern and somewhat progressive about romance and relationships, but it avoids heavy-handed ideology and still values narrative integrity and complexity in its characters. Not especially woke, especially by contemporary standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Nevertheless," touches on modern relationship themes and explores issues of boundaries and identity, it remains grounded in personal growth, emotional realism, and flawed characters. The show generally avoids overtly prioritizing representation over narrative. Characters evolve believably rather than being defined just by identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series deals frankly with subjects like casual dating and female sexuality, challenging some traditional courtship and gender expectations in Korean society. However, it doesn't outright mock or undermine family, masculinity, or tradition, the tension is usually internal and personal.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While progressive attitudes about love and sexuality are present, the show offers room for different perspectives, and characters aren’t depicted as caricatures of backwardness just for holding traditional views. There is nuance and diversity in the social circles and dialogue.
