My Name

마이 네임 ‧ Drama ‧ 2021
Both offer a mix of action, suspense, and intricate plotlines that fans of Mercy for None might appreciate. Each of them delves into themes of crime, corruption, revenge, and survival, often featuring morally complex characters caught in high-stakes conflicts. If you enjoy fast-paced storytelling with intense action sequences, layered mysteries, and protagonists navigating dangerous underworlds, these dramas will keep you hooked. Whether it's a vigilante seeking justice, a lone fighter infiltrating a criminal empire, or a battle against systemic corruption, these series deliver the same gritty, edge-of-your-seat thrill that Mercy for None promises.

Although it’s Korean and not a BL, they are both very interesting. Not Me has not finished yet but I feel like it’s going to be somewhat similar.. They both have to act as someone else to uncover the truth and get justice for the person who is close to them. I hope you can check out My Name. :DDD

Both dramas tell a story about a strong woman who is after revenge for her loved one. Both of them work as cops as well.

Without delving into spoilers, a similar mentor-mentee relationship, with a focus on revenge. Gritty and gory, with a substantial dose of amorality. Both shows deal with aspects of the underworld. Strong, but emotionally-unstable female protagonists who can fend for themselves.

Both dramas consist of:

Action
Hidden Identity
Leads are tools in Revenge
Little bit of romance sprinkled in the mix

Both stories feature a determined female lead, who is relentless in pursuing their goals despite facing significant obstacles.
In My Name, Ji-woo seeks revenge for her father's murder, while in Thicha, the protagonist may also navigate morally ambiguous paths or difficult choices, reflecting similar emotions of loss, resilience, or a fight for justice.
The protagonists undergo significant character development, transforming themselves emotionally and physically to overcome the challenges they face.
Both may lean into darker, emotionally intense storytelling with a focus on suspense, betrayal, and personal struggle.

1. Parallel scenes(elevator,etc)
2. Main leads seeking for revenge
3. Mentor/Apprentice relationship
4. Action sequences
5. Gore
6. Crime
7. AMAZING ACTING PERFORMANCE
Something to keep in mind is a bittersweet life focuses more on the masterful directing rather than plot, my name has amazing plot but not the best directing.

Both are about two trained killers and the main characters are strong female leads. The genre is noir in both of the dramas and there is also a love interest who's an outsider







Recommended by PHope
both have badass female leads with an ulterior motives and a backstory behind their doings. jiwoo was revenge driven in my name who wanted to avenge her fathers death. after a series of events she gets to know that the person she joined hands with is the real killer and that aggravates her thirst of killing. i feel like the protagonist of this drama also has a similar story.

Both are about a young girl raised by gangster. They grew up very strong. They obey the step dad, but finding out the truth was harsh. Lots of action and tough fight.
Recommended by Chia6
Both about youngster raised by villain. One is a drama the other one is a movie. Young innocent main lead later found out the man he/she respect and lookup for, was the father’s killer. Revenge and strong surviving skill with a touch of romance.
Recommended by Chia6
Undercover cops, mafia, revenge plot, fights, excellent actors, moral ambiguity, high production value
Recommended by Lethe
First off, they both have "Action, Thriller, Mystery" as genres.
I love watching women being badasses and that's a big reason why I loved these two dramas.
