I'll make it short...

Strong Girl Namsoon had a cool premise with the mix of the different approaches of feminism, but the story went off the rails.
Kang Nam Soon's search for her parents in Gangnam turns into this weird drug case involving her family, and it just feels forced.
The detective subplot is okay, but they threw in a villain, Ryu Si Oh, who's the only thing worth watching.
The writing is a mess, though.
No clear direction, and it feels like the writers lost their way.
The family dynamics are interesting, but the lackluster plot overshadows it.
Despite some cool action scenes and good performances, the show doesn't live up to its potential—just a letdown.
The series could have done better in delivering a more coherent and empowering feminist storyline.

( I'm being generous here so I gave 8 because I'll be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a bit )
