might not be for everyone ...but for me it deserves a 9
reasons :
- the theme is actually less talked about imo ( or I have not come across it so often )
- makes me empathize with a villain and hate the victims
- the line "Thank goodness it wasn't me "and the title "children of nobody "- both of these really enhanced my drama watching experience
- the show is flawed but overall if you ask me I'd still consider everything and say I loved it
-
