My Name

One of THE best kdramas in the world.

No matter how many times I indulge in the captivating narrative of this Korean drama, it never fails to keep me thoroughly engaged. Recently, I revisited the series at the behest of my sister, who had developed a keen interest in it, and I must say, my jaw was on the floor throughout the entire rewatch!

The plot was meticulously crafted, drawing me in with its seamless execution. Han So Hee's portrayal of her character was nothing short of spectacular; the raw and authentic emotions she conveyed were truly remarkable. Witnessing the protagonist's heart-wrenching experience of seeing her father, the sole anchor in her life, meet a tragic end through a door's peephole was profoundly moving. As the story unfolded, the character's quest for revenge felt incredibly realistic, and the show navigated the complexities of trust with great finesse. The conclusion of the series, however, shattered my expectations. While I half-anticipated Mujin's involvement in the father's demise, Han So Hee's performance in that pivotal moment was breathtaking. The intensity of rage she displayed left me utterly stunned, and overall, the beauty of the narrative was awe-inspiring.

Cinematographically, the show was a visual delight. The consistent use of dark, green-toned hues created a cohesive aesthetic, and the occasional burst of neon bright colors in the nocturnal urban scenes added a captivating contrast. The action sequences were expertly filmed, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

The musical accompaniment was nothing short of exceptional. Each and every song featured in the show has found a permanent spot in my playlist, each one a standalone hit. The synergy between the music and the unfolding drama heightened the emotional impact of the storyline.

The characters, especially Jiwoo and Pildo, endeared themselves to me as lovers and protectors. Their chemistry was palpable, and the scene at the beach house remains etched in my memory. While the conclusion for Pildo may have been unnecessary, it served to intensify Jiwoo's growing rage and heightened awareness, making her character more compelling and resilient.

In summary, I unequivocally rate this series a perfect 10/10. My affection for it knows no bounds, and it continues to leave me in awe with each viewing.

WTF Did I Just Watch?

Wow! I have been watching K-dramas since 2010 and NEVER have I seen one like this. I went into this drama completely blind and what a find! I love dramas that flow from episode to episode (as they should) and this one was seamless. There are only eight episodes which was the perfect number to tell the well-written, cohesive story with great characters while maintaining INTENSITY throughout. I gave it 9.5/10 only because of the violence. This is the most violent K-drama that I have ever seen bar none and those scenes are quite graphic so be forewarned. Squid Game has NOTHING on this. I had to look away several times. It's not a criticism per se, but I had never seen a K-drama get down like that, so it was shocking. Excellent acting all around. Loved it!

i didn't expect this.

before i watched this, i've seen a few tiktoks that made me curious about this. when i started, i didn't like the ¨plot¨. then i found out that was not the plot. i'd like to see more about taeju's-mu jins right hand- or gangjae's story because even as side characters they were a big part of the show and they'd deserve it so so much. i also like the fighting, it made me like boxing and i admired the fights the whole time, even as acting that must have been difficult for them to learn and do. i recommend watching if you're into amazing acting, great plot and the best music. as a beginner in watching kdramas this one is so far my favorite one =).

Must watch thriller!

One of the best thrillers I've watched so far. This was definitely different from the past thrillers among k-dramas. It made viewers think not only from the point of view of the prosecution (which we are used to) but also from the point of view of the dark side.
And what do I even say about the acting of Han So Hee, it was mind-blowing. Her emotions felt too real. We could feel her struggles and pain and how these made her stronger everyday.
I loved absolutely everything about this series, starting from the Story to the OST.
Looking forward to watching more dramas like this one.

MUST WATCH

Another amazing action packed k-drama full of great actors, beautiful cinematography and great music.

The story may begin very slow, showing us why she's gonna get revenge on her father's death, but then the story goes full speed and gets you hooked on every single episode. I was always on the edge on my chair due to all the plot twists, the parts of her story that we didn't know of, with the new characters coming in, it just makes you wonder what else is gonna happen and how they're gonna fix what is happening.

Of course, some parts of the story can be unrealistic (people getting stabed but only the main characters dont die, her being able to fight hunderds of men alone, etc), but the story makes you forget all that and makes you focus your attention on their lives and her revenge.

10/10 recommend

I'm so SAD

I had seen so much potential in han so-hee in nevertheless already, but this one really made her shine to another level! ♥‿♥ so gay for her

the plot had me hooked the whole time, but I'm too sensitive for all these plot twists so whoever wrote the script I'm under your bed

oh and the acting!!!! aaahh!!! all the cast was enticing. I didn't even recognize han so-hee at first, cause her character in nevertheless actually had reasons to smile, but jiwoo can't relate I guess. ahn bo-hyun surprised me in a cool way, cause he played a bully in itaewon class so the fact that he managed to make me forget who he was means he did a great job.

will watch again when I heal from the rollercoaster this drama was ಥ‿ಥ

Great series for strong heart people

Overall a great series to watch, not boring at all very well paced.
Only for those brave enough to see a lot of bloods here and there.
Great acting for all the actors and actresses
Great actions & fighting scene, looks like real. Yes even though sometimes it's just a bit doesn't make sense (example on the last scene when Ji Woo stabbed so much yet she survived and managed to kill Mujin). Yes we all know the bad guy must die.
Interesting story, even though I already managed to guess what is Ji Woo father in episode 3.
Great directing, lighting and visual. Blood looks real, some movie the blood like tomato sauce and just too much, but here it looks realistic. Thumbs up to the director and production staffs.
Overall even though there's flaws , this is a good series.
Looking forward for season 2

Not Only A Pretty Face - Han So Hee

Han So Hee caught my attention in "The World of The Married". I enjoyed her performance in "Nevertheless", thinking, hmmm....another pretty face has emerged in the Korean drama industry. Then, when I saw the poster for "My Name" drama, I thought interesting, with her shorter hair cut and dramatic facial and body posture, 9 episodes, nothing to loose ....... and WHAM!! I was hooked from Episode 1.

If you are into big time, revenge drama, kick-ass fighting, and totally un-plugged fury from a woman, this is one drama you have to watch. I will not write in detail the story line as many reviewers have done a good job doing so. For me, the story, the plot, the acting and the directing is truly satisfactory and, the one bright star for me worth mentioning again is Han So Hee. She carried out her role so well, she had me rooting for her throughout the drama. Not only a pretty face, but a really good actor. Having Ahn Bo Hyun acting as the good cop and Park Hee Soon as the bad guy is definitely a Big Plus in this drama too.

I enjoyed "My Name" so much and highly recommend to those who have not watched it.

Cheers! Korean Drama Forever!
