1. Nevertheless (2021)
Breathing Park Jae-eon to life, Song Kang’s role in this series portrays a man who’s very charming and attractive, yet emotionally unavailable and not fond of commitment. He likes flirting, yes—but if you ask him to commit, that would probably be a blurred vision to imagine.
Song Kang acted alongside Han So-hee (Yoo Na-bi) in this series—a perfect combination. His portrayal in this drama will really pull you in. In fact, this became my turning point in watching K-dramas again. His character simply embodies how some people view love so complicatedly, yet it still makes you want to fall in love—like how Na-bi fell for Jae-eon despite his unsure heart.
