NEVERTHELESS,
ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
You're drinking a lot.
Is something going on?
No.
Nothing.
Is work going well?
No, I came outside because I couldn't focus.
Na-bi keeps looking somewhere else instead of looking at me.
I saw you with him
at school.
-What? -Yang Do-hyeok.
I see.
Do you like him?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
I do.
He's a good guy.
What makes you say that?
He's a good cook,
and he's considerate.
He's cute sometimes too.
And most of all, I feel comfortable when I'm with him.
Then why aren't you dating him?
That's not something you should be asking.
Maybe not.
If I date him, he'd get disappointed in me.
I'm not the kind of person he thinks I am.
At least to him,
I want to seem like a good person.
Then what about me?
EPISODE 9: I KNOW IT'S OVER. NEVERTHELESS,
-Do you like her that much? -Yes, I do.
And I miss her all the time.
Then what are you waiting for? Be more bold.
Well, I can't really do that right now.
I feel like I might mess things up.
My goodness. So frustrating.
Are you having fun?
DID YOU GO HOME? ARE YOU HAVING FUN?
Is she home?
Don't look.
-Look at what? -Not you. Just keep sleeping.
Sorry.
Do-hyeok.
Just take my advice, and ask her to meet up right now.
You said you forgot to give her that.
That's a bit…
It's not even urgent.
Plus, I'm a bit tipsy.
So frustrating.
You're a decent guy, but you're not making any bold moves.
Love is all about timing, you know.
If you keep hesitating like that, you'll never get her.
It's because I really don't want to lose her.
If you don't want to lose her, then ask her to meet right now.
If you're not going to, then just bring another bottle.
We're out.
All right.
I'll get going now.
Are you walking home?
Yes. I should sober up a bit. See you tomorrow, then.
Why are you following me?
I'm not following you.
Then where are you going?
Your house.
-What? -To get my stuff.
I see.
She won't be asleep already, will she?
-Wait out here. -Out here?
I didn't pack everything yet. I didn't think you'd suddenly come for it.
I'll pack them with you.
I can go inside, right?
Sure.
-Cheers. -You have to clink glasses.
Look over there. Isn't that guy handsome?
What's with you?
Hey, slow down. We didn't come here to drink, you know.
I came here to drink.
-You're unbelievable. -Why did we come here then?
Look at that guy.
-I think the cute guys are over there. -There are so many decent guys.
-Are you lonely? -Yes.
That guy over there looks pretty cute too.
SHARE WITH NAM GYU-HYUN
Hey. My friends say they want to come here too.
Three guys. What do you think?
-That's perfect. Tell them to come. -Okay.
Are they good-looking?
I'm leaving.
-What? -Hey.
-Have fun. -Hey!
Jeez. Call just two guys, then.
Do you like it?
Yes.
It's pretty.
You look even more pretty today.
HUMAN ART ANATOMY FOR SCULPTORS
I think that's all your stuff.
Right.
But I feel a bit disappointed.
-What do you mean? -I thought you'd have
a late birthday present for me.
There's nothing like that.
If that's everything, you should get going.
I'm a bit tired.
You're all better now.
Yes.
I did a good job of treating you.
Let's not make another mistake.
You should go.
Do you really think this is a mistake?
Of course. I'm sure you feel the same.
That's a lie.
I don't.
I enjoy being with you.
Are you kidding me?
I like your angry face too.
Is this fun to you?
I'm not teasing you.
Let's go out.
What?
Think about it and tell me.
Bye.
Go sleep in the bedroom. You'll catch a cold.
No, I can't sleep right now.
I still have lots to do.
What?
What? She got in, but Na-bi got rejected?
The school Na-bi applied to is pretty tough to get into.
Right.
I have to make all the calls and prepare the documents.
I'm totally screwed.
I can help you make the calls tomorrow.
So go to bed.
It's fine. You have a lot to do too.
I have some time tomorrow.
What?
Well…
I feel kind of embarrassed.
Why?
I always told you to stop poking your nose in other people's businesses.
But it feels like I'm getting the most benefit out of that.
That means you're thankful, right?
Well, I guess.
You're likeable.
What?
It stays near you all the time.
Oh, I guess you're right.
Let's go out.
I'm not used to how I am
when I'm with Na-bi.
Let's go out.
What was that, all of a sudden?
Did he really mean it?
Can we meet right now?
I just read your message. Sorry.
If it's not urgent, let's meet next time.
I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to bed early.
YU NA-BI
Block him!
I guess you're not in a good condition today.
-You seem way too tense. -I'm not improving.
I want to be better.
Things won't work out well if you start to get greedy.
Did I get greedy?
It's nothing bad. You can try harder if you get greedy.
So do your best.
Come on, let's play another game.
Okay.
-Hi, Na-bi. Hi, Sol. -Hey.
-Hi! -Hi.
Sol.
-Sol. -Yes?
What if someone says "Let's go out" without even saying they like you?
It's one or the other.
That person's a jerk
or they thought it was unnecessary because it's so obvious.
What time is your progress report?
Progress report?
For the exhibition.
Oh, right.
-When was it? -Tomorrow.
You didn't prepare for it?
No.
What? Is something going on?
No.
-Hey, Ji-wan. -What?
Na-bi, I'll be in the lecture room.
We can go together.
No, it's fine. See you later.
What's up with her?
I don't know.
Nothing has changed here.
Hey, Do-hyeok.
Do you remember that spot?
We were playing in there
and I broke a glass cup, and you got scolded by your grandpa.
You remember that?
Of course.
Back then, it was so fun to hide somewhere and play.
Right. It was so exciting when we were in elementary school.
Yes.
You're pretty good.
Make it tasty for me.
All right.
Do-hyeok!
The reactions are great.
Listening to Na-bi's advice was a great idea.
Try tasting this.
-Why does it taste like this? -Why? Is it bad?
Hey. Grandson of a noodle shop owner.
What happened in Seoul? Why are you acting like this?
Nothing happened.
You were so excited to see Na-bi.
But you look like a zombie now. Stop lying.
Did you eventually lose to Jae-eon?
My gosh. Just give up and find someone else.
You're popular, you know.
Can you make some noodles for me?
I'm hungry.
Make it yourself.
Should I just give up on everything?
Jae-eon.
What are you making?
A pendant.
Then what's this?
Thanks.
Was it that good?
What do you mean?
The meat.
The barbecue was amazing that day, wasn't it?
What's he going around doing these days?
He works part-time at an internet cafe.
-A part-time job? -Yes. You didn't know?
I thought you two shared everything.
The internet cafe he works at has a really romantic name.
-What is it? -Perhaps Love.
Gyu-hyun, do you want to have drinks today?
Not me. I have gastritis, so I can't drink.
What? Gastritis?
You're totally healthy.
Whatever!
-It must be because of stress. -Hey, Bit-na.
What?
Let's go somewhere and talk.
-Just talk here. -It won't take long.
What the…
What? What is it?
-Oh, this… -Why did you order this to my house?
I've made a grave mistake.
Is this what you wanted to say?
Yes.
All right, then.
Isn't that mine?
You gave this to me to wear last time.
Do you want it back?
No, it's fine.
You're actually really petty, aren't you?
Just take it.
What are you doing this weekend?
Well…
This exhibition's opening this week.
PARK DAE-SEONG EXHIBITION
Let's go together.
Together?
Yes. I'm asking you out on a date.
I like you, Sol.
I've liked you since I first met you at the cafe.
Oh…
You're not seeing anyone, are you?
I'm not, but…
I actually have someone I like.
I see. Do you have a crush on someone?
Then did you…
I guess it's too personal. I'm sorry.
I did tell them how I feel.
Because my desires kept growing.
I see.
So you're saying
that your friend said they like you
and you like them back.
But you're afraid of ruining your friendship?
Yes. If we start dating but break up later…
My friend is capable and has everything,
so losing me won't be a big deal.
But without my friend,
it'd be the same as losing half my life.
I'd be screwed.
I envy you.
What? I'm so confused right now. Why would you envy me?
Your friend's your other half.
That means you're both so sure about your feelings.
That's a great thing.
Still…
Plus, from my experience…
I mean,
what I think is that you two can't go back to the way things were.
Unless you both lose your memories,
you'll never be able to just be friends again.
Please stop stating cold hard facts.
So don't suffer like this all by yourself and talk to your friend.
Who knows?
That friend might be thinking the same thing.
I'm scared to tell them though.
I know how that feels.
EXCHANGE PROGRAM APPLICATION RESULTS
YU NA-BI REJECTED
It doesn't seem that bad,
but it's not as good as I expected.
Don't you have two assistants? Where's the other one?
Jin-su is at his part-time job right now.
Are you getting a lot of help from them?
Yes, they're helping out a lot.
We have meetings often too.
Is that so?
I thought you two would make a great piece together.
I guess you two haven't figured out each other's strong points.
Na-bi. I've told you this many times before.
You really have talent,
but I can't feel your emotion in your works.
It's not just about finishing your piece.
You have to inspire other people.
Pieces that receive compliments and ones that attract attention are different.
Right.
Are you passionate about this piece? Do you really care about it?
Of course.
I'm sure you'd feel upset about me saying this when you tried hard.
You may think it's nonsense, but it's because I know you can do better.
I really think you can make an amazing piece with just a bit more.
I wanted you to learn that from Jae-eon.
I'll do my best.
Let me see yours, Geon-ung.
SPICY STIR-FRIED PORK TRIPE
Here you go.
This tastes amazing.
How was the critique?
Awful.
Come on. Everybody gets criticized by that professor.
Except for Jae-eon, I guess.
Aren't you busy?
I am,
but I should take good care of you guys.
This and this…
Isn't it good?
It is.
I'm sorry for not being able to make it. I'll get you a lot of freebies.
It's fine. Thanks.
Enjoy your food.
This is pretty good.
I promise I won't miss anything or be late next time.
This must be about Gyu-hyun.
What? Let me see.
"I heard he's a Sculpture major.
He's totally my style.
I'm going to the internet cafe every day.
Please give me 22 extra minutes as a sign, if you like me too."
This is Gyu-hyun for sure!
"Handsome"? Are you kidding me? Is that it?
Yes.
What is this?
What? There are more female customers now?
YOU'VE PASSED THE FIRST SCREENING TEST
I passed! I can't believe it!
Oh, my gosh.
I acted like I got the job already.
I just passed the first test.
Come on. That's a huge achievement.
Then you should prepare for the interview now.
Good luck!
The ocean is so pretty, Do-hyeok.
I miss you.
I saw the new video.
It's great.
Emotions…
How do I portray my emotions?
Hey, Do-hyeok.
Can you talk right now? I don't want to bother you.
No, it's fine. I was spacing out because the critique went badly.
-Critique? -Our professor
evaluates and critiques our works.
I got scolded.
This semester really is the worst.
I didn't get accepted to the exchange program either.
Oh…
Is something going on?
No.
Nothing.
Let's not make another mistake.
Maybe Na-bi was already
drifting away from me.
That's too bad.
That school has a bad eye for talent.
I'm going to Seoul soon. Can we meet up?
Of course. When are you coming?
It's not decided yet.
I guess you're feeling bothered by what I said.
Are you trying to cheer me up?
Na-bi. You're already doing so well.
So don't let that discourage you.
Thanks.
You know I'm your greatest fan, right?
Make use of me all you want.
You can call me whenever you need something to cheer you up.
I'll rush right over.
Thanks for saying that.
I feel a bit better.
Anyway, I'll call you again later.
Bye.
Did I go overboard?
I'm getting married.
What? You're getting married?
Why are you so startled?
When will you get married?
The beginning of next year?
I feel like we'd break up if we don't.
It's already been over five years.
And we've been working for three years now.
I wanted some change in my life.
It's like a turning point in our relationship.
A turning point in a relationship…
Sol.
-Yes? -If I say
that I don't like you
in that way…
Then what will happen to us?
Then I'll keep liking you
like I do now,
and you won't return my feelings.
And if I say I do like you?
What?
Then we'll break up someday.
But I don't want us to stay like this, either.
Is that what was troubling you?
What do we do?
Seo Ji-wan.
My feelings will never change.
So…
don't worry.
Are you done?
Yes. I'm going to head home now.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
It's fine. It's not far.
I was waiting all this time to go with you.
I heard you stayed up all night. You must be tired.
Thanks for the ride. I'll get going.
Wait.
A present.
Did you make this?
Yes, while I was working on my pieces.
It's pretty.
You could actually sell this.
Why are things so funny when you say them?
Go inside. And get some sleep.
I will. Thanks.
INTERNET CAFE PART-TIMER THE PART-TIMER AT PERHAPS LOVE IS HOT
Hey, Bit-na!
Hey, my trainer! Long time no see.
Why aren't you coming to our gym?
I've been feeling lazy these days.
But I still have my muscles. Check them out.
Your biceps! Okay.
Are you meeting someone?
No, I'm going home. I live nearby.
Oh, I see.
Since we haven't met in a while, how about we go play some games?
Games? That sounds nice.
Right? I know a place around here.
Welcome.
-This place looks nice. -Right?
Sit anywhere you'd like.
Pardon?
I'm Choi Jin-woo.
Right. I'm Yang Do-hyeok.
It's nice to meet you.
GKC Entertainment was very impressed by your social media.
Thank you.
And…
this is an exclusive contract.
Read through it.
All right.
Sorry, but I have to take this call.
-Sure. -Take your time.
Okay. I'll see you there later.
I'll see you later…
When's your flight? I'll drive you there.
No, I want to go alone. I just came to say goodbye.
Let me take you.
It's fine. I don't want that kind of vague generosity from you.
I don't want to get swayed.
I've decided not to pretend anymore.
They say that you can't act indifferent if you really like someone.
I've realized that it's true.
Sorry.
It pays off to be honest.
You're actually apologizing.
I'll contact you if I go to the States.
We can meet up.
No.
I'm not going to see you anymore.
Having no relationship with you at all
is better than being by your side like this.
Give me a last goodbye hug.
Bye.
Nice.
Thanks.
Is it not going well?
I should keep working on it,
but my head feels blocked.
But you know, some things just work out suddenly
even when you think there's no hope.
I guess something good is going on.
What?
No, nothing's going on.
I'm happy for you, Sol.
Jeez, Seo Ji-wan.
Ji-wan didn't tell me directly.
I just realized it myself.
I'm sure she was being really obvious.
You were more obvious, you know.
I didn't think I'd be like this.
Ji-wan said you're an excellent counselor.
It's easy to give advice to others,
but I can't do anything myself.
-Is it really over with you and Jae-eon? -What?
I thought you two made a good couple.
Why?
Well, it's just…
Getting attracted to each other like that already makes it special.
It's a miracle.
A miracle? That's what I'd say about you and Ji-wan.
It's nothing different.
It's totally different for us.
Maybe it was all wrong from the beginning.
It just feels that way.
I can't find a solution.
Maybe the problem is that you're trying to find one.
Excuse me. Why isn't my food coming?
Who's going to eat it?
What's he on about?
It's all for me.
My friend's on a strict diet, so he only eats chicken breast.
Well, that's a relief. I didn't place your order yet.
What?
You asshole.
You're not picking up?
What? Where did he go?
OH MY SUNSHINE
What is it?
Why wasn't my order placed?
I've been waiting so long for my food.
You shouldn't eat stuff like that. You have gastritis.
It'll ruin your stomach.
You and your nagging.
You'll get fired if you keep working like this.
What's it to you whether I get fired or not?
Then what's it to you whether my stomach hurts or not?
Who are you to nag me?
I'm your friend.
Friends can worry about each other's health.
What's gotten into you? Why are you smiling like that?
"Oh My Sunshine"? That's so childish.
What are you on about? Where's my phone?
I already saw it.
Hey, you shouldn't snoop.
It didn't mean anything. I only wrote that because your name means "shine."
I just wrote your name in English. Oh Sunshine.
Never mind that. When do you get off work today?
What?
Let's go on a date.
This looks delicious.
Why isn't Jae-eon coming?
Hang on. Let's eat these before he comes. Ta-da!
I'm only giving that to you.
Thanks.
You know how much I like you, right?
You were always late to our meetings, but you came early today.
Come on. Don't be so harsh.
I'm already anxious because Jae-eon's working so hard.
You know, he's doing glass projects because of your piece.
I'm getting suspicious.
There's something going on between you two, right?
Stop that nonsense. Just eat up.
If it's not Jae-eon, then is it that noodle shop guy?
Ever since our workshop,
we've been saying there's a higher chance of you dating him. Is that right?
-What? -Come on. Tell me.
I swear I won't tell anyone else.
Why should I tell you?
Jeez. Why are you suddenly getting so upset?
Hey, Jae-eon.
-What took you so long? -Sorry.
Since you're here now, let's drink.
Here you go.
You too. Here.
Cheers!
The weather is pretty nice.
Oh, right!
This is what I ordered to your house last time.
They're matching keyrings.
It's like a heart lock and key.
I got these because they're a limited edition.
I had no idea we would break up before I gave it to you.
Aren't they pretty?
Yes. They're pretty.
So what's going to happen between us now?
-Us? -Yes.
Well…
I…
Do I have to say this out loud?
You need to talk for me to understand.
Give me your hand.
Let's start dating again.
Be my boyfriend again. I'll really be good to you.
It was all my fault. I promise I won't do that again.
I'll do my best. I'll change.
Can't you be serious for a single second?
Hey. You're always serious. If I become serious too,
then there won't be any chemistry between us.
-You're right. -Right?
What…
-Thank you. -Thank you too.
I missed this smell.
Are you a pervert?
How can you say that to your sunshine?
I missed you too.
Let's go on a lot of dates from now on.
We can go to theaters, amusement parks,
beaches, and mountains.
All right.
I'll try being abstinent just for you.
What? Abstinent?
I'll do my best. I mean it.
You don't need to go that far. I mean…
I'm a man, you know, and…
I like it too.
You like what? Be more specific.
Do I really have to say that out loud?
You just said I needed to!
You're not sticking to your word.
-No… -What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
How would I know? Hey, don't talk like that.
What?
Are you calling me small? I'm pretty tall!
Don't worry, Mom.
All right. Tell Dad I'll call him later.
I should really get going.
I'll call you when I arrive.
Hey, Do-hyeok.
Yes, I'm heading out now.
No, you don't need to come. I can just take a cab.
Okay. I'll be there soon.
Do-hyeok!
-Hey. -I brought coffee…
Oh, right.
-What's this? -I got them printed.
-The photos? -Yes.
Gosh!
I can't believe you got them printed like this.
You're really good at taking photos.
How about cooking?
Your cooking is a bit…
The weather was amazing.
And here.
-What's this? -It's going to rain later.
-Today? -Yes.
It doesn't look like it'll rain at all.
Use that if it rains. I have another one.
All right. Thanks.
So did the meeting go well?
Yes. It was okay.
We're meeting again after revising the contract a little.
A contract?
Then you're going to have an agency?
I don't know much about it yet, though.
Your new video got a lot of views too.
It's all thanks to you.
Thanks.
I told you, it's not me. It's all you.
I only thought of doing it since you gave me all that advice.
That's why.
Thanks for saying that.
The day we met at your school,
I went to your house at night to give you the photos.
Oh, really? Why didn't you say anything?
I saw you and Jae-eon
going into your house together.
I know I said I could wait for you as long as it takes.
But I felt so jealous.
Do-hyeok.
Na-bi. I really wish you were happy.
But Park Jae-eon…
Have you felt, even once, that he sincerely likes you?
Jae-eon?
Why are you here?
Hey.
Why are you home so late?
Were you with Do-hyeok this whole time?
Are you drunk?
And it's none of your business.
How cold.
Am I boring to you since you have someone else now?
Let's talk again when you're sober.
Does he still like you even after seeing us
entering your house?
What?
Incredible.
Is that why you choose him instead of me?
You knew that Do-hyeok was here that day?
Did you know too?
So you're saying you saw Do-hyeok here that day?
Yes.
You should have seen his face.
It seemed like he'd burst into tears.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why would I do that?
Oh, right. You said you didn't want to disappoint him.
Then should I have told you to explain things to him?
But it's true that we had a relationship like that.
Have you lost your mind?
You shouldn't get angry at me.
I'm just telling the truth like you did.
Is that why you asked me out?
Isn't that what you wanted?
Oh, I guess that's not what you wanted from me.
And you say you really like me?
That's nonsense.
What about you? Why did you say that to Seol-a?
Was that just to screw me over? It wasn't, right?
It was. I just did that to screw you over.
You were leading me on but saying I was a friend,
then I found out you had a girlfriend. I did it because you were a jerk.
Hey.
So am I the only jerk here?
Do you regret it?
Do you regret
what we did?
Yes.
I regret it.
You, this messed up relationship, and everything we did.
But I won't blame you.
I brought it on myself.
I knew there was no happy ending for us,
but I was an idiot for getting my hopes up and thinking you could be sincere.
You told me that I had the right to decide our relationship.
I don't want to see you ever again.
I lost
Na-bi…
for good.
NEVERTHELESS,
Subtitle translation by: Ju-young Park
Hey, Na-bi!
It feels like I'm having terrible, recurring nightmares.
Let's fix this.
You look the happiest when you're working on your pieces.
And the prettiest.
-I'm excited to see it. -But can you come?
Don't strain yourself.
No, I have to make it. It's your exhibition.
How can I define the feelings I have left for Jae-eon?
-Na-bi. -If you decided to be a jerk,
you should've stayed that way. Why are you here like this?
What do you want from me?
I'll stay away from you. I promise.
Lingering affection? Regret? Hate? Or…
Do I still have a chance with you?
Please accept this.
