It's a first time I write a review but I can't help but feel the urge to recommend this drama in any way possible I can so here we go!

As a big fan of thrillers, horrors, and criminals I quickly added this drama to my watchlist when it popped out at my recommended page. However, as I lately often end up getting this feeling of disappointment at the end of the drama, either because of the plot holes or tension lost halfway through I didn't watch it immediately nor started watching it with big enthusiasm.
I did have some hopes as I started watching when I found out that Children of Nobody has the same screenwriter as Achiara which I really enjoyed, but worrying that it would end up being another overdramatized, not too interesting series my hopes weren't too big.
How happy I was to find out I had no reason to be worried. From the first episode, I fell in love with the atmosphere, tension, acting, characters... The whole drama in general. I couldn't wait for the next episodes to come up getting all excited since the morning of the day they were coming out.
Obviously, I was still kinda anxious since let's be real here, it happens often that the captivating drama you would recommend to everyone at first becomes a draggy, filled with plot holes mess at the end.
It wasn't the case this time. Children of Nobody gets more interesting as we go deeper, the plot is developing and getting even more intriguing as the action develops, the characters are acting logically are well build and thought through, plot holes are nowhere to be found, therefore as I was watching I was getting more and more invested.

This drama also became the first drama that I'm currently watching with my parents. We are not watching new episodes together but I'm watching them one more time when the lyrics in my native language come out since neither I or my parents are not native English speakers ( which you can probably tell reading the review heh) and they don't understand English enough to watch it.
Anyway, my parents are far from being enthusiastic about Asian dramas in general, but since I'm learning Japanese for 5 years now they just kinda think of it as my passion and weird interest and don't mind it too much, which doesn't stop them from harsh commentary and ridiculing content I sometimes show them.
It was also the case in Children of Nobody case so when I put the first episode on the TV screen in the living room, being all the way enthusiastic and immune to protests, dad was commenting sarcastically about every scene from the start to something like the almost end of the first episode. But as it finished, he fell silent, and after waiting a while he asked: "why are you not playing the next one?" > <. It was the first time it happened and we watched all the episodes available in my language and as I asked if he wants to know when new ones came out, he said he does ><.
Therefore I'm also kind of thankful to this drama for the opportunity of watching it again with my parents as our tastes are usually a lot different > <. I guess it was a good choice to show a psychological drama to pair of psychologists, hah ><.

Anyway not to take too long, in summary:
Children of Nobody is a truly amazing gem and I can't find enough words to express how much I love it.
It became my favorite drama in no time. Excellent acting, thought through rich plot, the tension, not becoming any less interesting, but in contrary becoming more engaging as the action goes... This drama has it all and more.
So if anyone is hesitating: watch it, you're not gonna regret it!
