JTBC’s new Korean drama “Nevertheless”, which can be streamed on Netflix, has been giving us butterflies every Sunday for weeks now. We fangirled over Song Kang’s flirtatious character, got kilig over Sam Kim’s “Love Me Like That” soundtrack, but most importantly, we got to witness Han So Hee’s versatility in acting.
