A blackmailer falls in love with his female victim. Alternate-language version of The Lady Who Dared (1930).
Though often underwhelming as a whole, Nevertheless is worth the watch because of the relationship between Sol and Jiwan. It is a stunning, refreshing take on the friends to lovers trope that LGBTQ media has been missing.
