My name
This is a perfect revenge drama!! Full of action, betrayal and fights. Han So Hee is really one of the best actresses. For sure not a kids show, it is brutal and full of violence. Acting is really good. Not so suprising plot to be honest but if you like a genre thenI am sure you will like it.
Unpopular but I like ending and there is no need for second season.

My Name is Mary Sue
Revenge dramas are such cliche that if you've seen one you've very likely seen all of them. Let me just list some of cliches appearing in this drama:Main character has love/hate relationship with the relative who gets killed. Main character goes "I hate you! I wish you were dead!", but 5 min later, when the relative actually gets killed, main character goes "Nooooo, I want revenge! I want to kill [whoever made my wish come true]". That's a bad writing and handicaps the main character from the very start cause that isn't characterization. That's just drama for the sake of drama.
Main character puts the trust in the person most likely to have killed the relative, since that person was the closest to the deceased. I figured out the killer in the first 10-15 min and Google + My Name + Ending Explained revealed that I was right.
The killer never does the most logical thing - kill the main character since she's seen him even in disguise - but decides to train her to be tough, thinking that will mislead the main character, but also because main character is special. At the end of the day, it all boils down to character being special especially in female revenge fantasies.
They form a surrogate parent/child relationship which goes to hell once she falls in love with a nice beta orbiter that works for the good guys. (I spoiled myself just to see if I was right in this prediction and yep I was!)
Main character wins competitions with very little training because her new patron saint and father figure tells her to attack vital points instead of relying on physical strength that she doesn't have. As if, you know, other fighters with many years of experience don't know about that. :eyeroll:
Main character is always special be it the only girl among men (such as in this drama), or the youngest and least experienced new member among older and much more experienced (also the case in this drama). As you can expect from a special character, she excels at everything, earns everyone's respect by the sheer power of her specialness, or characters simply start liking her because , you guessed it, she's special. All the while, her acting is either po-faced "steeliness" or histrionics. No middle ground.
Since I was this close to punching the screen every time Mary Sue was on it, I decided the best course of action was to simply drop this drama or otherwise would have to buy a new set.

Brutal, Bold, and a Must Watch.
One of the best action/revenge dramas you can watch. I had to double check if this show wasn't directed by Chad Stahelski because of how insane it was. I can't say a single bad thing about this drama, story was on point, characters were written very well and each episode brought something new so it's easily 10/10 for me.If you're also a fan of Han So Hee or Park Hee Soon, then for sure you won't be disappointed - their acting was on point here.

Revenge, blood, and plot twists sharper than her knife—drama doesn’t stand a chance!
"MY NAME : 8/10 – A Blood-Soaked, No-Nonsense Revenge Thriller That Doesn’t Pull Punches"WHY IT SLAPS:
Han So-hee’s glow-up from flower girl to full-on killer – Her rage is palpable, her fight scenes brutal, and her eyeliner? Immortal.
The raw, gritty vibe – No cute rom-com detours here, just pain, betrayal, and vengeance served cold.
Park Hee-soon as Choi Mujin – Charismatic, terrifying, and weirdly hot? (We don’t make the rules.)
THE "DAMN, THAT’S DARK" MOMENTS:
That train fight scene – Shot like a John Wick audition tape.
The twist – You’ll see it coming… but it’ll still gut you.
The lack of happy endings – This ain’t that kind of story, sweetheart.
THE "WAIT, WTF?" FACTOR:
The brutality – Bones break, blood sprays, and no one is safe.
The emotional damage – Daddy issues? Try "my entire life is a lie" issues.
VERDICT:
"Like Oldboy (am exagirating) and Kill Bill had a very angry K-drama lovechild." Watch if: You want action, angst, and zero filler. Skip if: You need hope or hugs in your stories.

I really liked the show
This isn't going to be a long review but anyone thinking of watching it do it! I really liked the drama. I found it really interesting bcuz you could see how Jiwoo was fighting everyday and giving her upmost all to get to her goal. While doing that she kinda loses herself and like she says is ready to do anything and everything. I really like how there were people who helped her grow and open up:) What really surprised me though is the ending as someone who was watched countless dramas, I'm aware that there aren't many non happy rainbow and sunshine endings, so the ending caught me a little off guard (very). I really look forward to the continuation of the show . If there is one cuz to me the ending was kinda satisfying, like I said there aren't a lot of non atleast a little happy endings in dramas so i thought it was very refreshing and im a sucker for sad stuff:)Was this review helpful to you?

THIS DRAMA IS COPIED FROM LADY VENGEANCESEXUAL HARRASMENT OF FL IN LAST EPISODE
It wasn't on Script
HAN SO HEE wasn't even informed but director assume that she would do it because she is that kind of woman FOR them, because she has done proactive roles.
Director and ML just wanted to see her topless that's all.
Giho takes forever to die and did not die even after that many stabs, i find this 5ft guy more stonger then THE UNDERTAKER of WWE
ML has selective hearing ability during the fight with rapist guy he only hear whatever favours FL and miss everything that reveals her identity why because he wanted to screw her in the end...
ML Was introduced as asshole who look down on women but suddenly there is his dead sister
He was acting like he was born out of a man's anus
But because he is ML we need to ignore him looking down on FL
FL Is good fighter when it come to fight anyone but she is weak and lose everytime she confront ML why because director wanted to protect MLs cheap Pride that he can't be defeated by a woman he look down on.
MDL high rating Is 🐂 shit
FL why she is taking revenge for a father who never tell her his own name ?
A man who make her live like a criminal her whole life and Destroyed her youth, she spent her another 5 year between criminal to take revenge for that guy ?
It was story of FL but director can't resist himself from sucking to ML
Nobody feel a shit when he got a hole in his head
Why rapist guy left FL to die with ML
I would have kept her with me to rape anytime i want or shoot her in head, if i am that pscho.
Why he don't rape her after he catch her because ML wasn't ready to protect her that time so villian did not thought of raping her... How good is bad guy
Mujin could have shoot both of them but he choose to shoot only ML because dude is poor to afford another bullet, he wanted to provoke FL for final fight which he wasn't able to fight because all he wanted was to die
I give it 6.5 because it was good when you watch it for first time you will believe everything the told you but if you rewatch it then half of things would look NONsense
Mujin Was framed for a murder that was done by FL and nobody no soul objected like whole police department was ON IT.
FL wasn't even question after murder why she shoot ?
It like there is nobody above GOD GIHO(ultimate Ninja)

Um Drama Sem Enrolação e Muito Bem Produzido
Centrado em uma história de vingança, My Name consegue desenvolver bem o enredo sem se desviar do ponto principal da trama, só por este fato já merece destaque. Acho que o fato de ter apenas 8 episódios ajudou neste quesito.O drama é tão sem enrolação que por um momento até pensei que fosse uma série americana, o tamanho dos episódios e a quantidade de episódios é perfeito para uma maratona. Este K-drama entrega tudo o que prometeu no trailer: cenas de luta bem produzidas, uma história fluida com um bom desenvolvimento e ótimas atuações. Han So Hee mostrou muito bem seu potencial interpretando papel.
Apesar de não gostar de nenhuma música da OST todas elas se encaixaram perfeitamente com o drama. Se você gosta de ação não pode perder este drama.

Série courte mais intense
Voici une série sur laquelle je ne m’étais pas vraiment attardé, me disant que 8 épisodes seraient peut-être un peu justes pour développer correctement l’intrigue.Toutefois, je dois admettre que le scénario tient ses promesses et que, finalement, 8 épisodes constituent un choix raisonnable, permettant de laisser place à une série nerveuse, sans temps mort.
Après la mort de son père, une jeune femme va intégrer un gang afin de pouvoir venger sa mort. C’est le début d’une vie dure, entourée d’hommes et qui va se révéler cruelle.
L’histoire est plutôt bien menée même si on remarque un léger creux vers la fin et la conclusion, à défaut d’être hyper originale, tient la route.
Bref, une série courte mais de qualité, qui peut se regarder en un week-end et que je recommande :-)

Des poings, des larmes, et une vérité qui te déchire...
"My Name"… c'est le genre de drama qui te broie le cœur à coups de poings et de vérités violentes 💥👊🏻Dès les premières minutes, j’etais dedans... C’est brut, c’est sombre, c’est "sale"… mais qu’est-ce que c’est bon 😤 On suit Ji Woo, une jeune femme qui perd tout et qui décide de tout brûler derrière elle. Son seul but et la vengeance ☠️. Et pour ça, elle va jusqu’à infiltrer la police, épaulée ou manipulée, par un boss mafieux charismatique à souhait 👌🏻.
Han So Hee… alors là respect éternel 🔥 Elle porte le drama à bout de bras, de tripes, de rage. J’étais en apnée à chaque fois qu’elle levait les yeux. Elle incarne parfaitement la colère, la douleur, la solitude… et elle le fait avec une intensité de malade. J’ai cru mille fois qu’elle allait exploser, physiquement et émotionnellement 😮💨🫶🏻👍🏻
En face, on a Ahn Bo Hyun 👮♂️… c'est pas juste un flic random. Il est droit, intègre, un peu paumé parfois, mais tellement sincère 😍. J’ai adoré leur duo, il y a pas besoin de longs discours entre eux... les regards font tout ❤️. La tension, la peur, la tendresse cachée… ça crépite sans jamais tomber dans le cliché 😩✨
Mais faut surtout que je vous parle de Moo Jin, le boss du gang 🤩. Ce perso-là m’a retournée 🥲 Il est dangereux, imprévisible, manipulateur… et pourtant, sa relation avec Ji Woo m’a vraiment mise en vrac 😟 C’est toxique à mort, mais y’a une forme d’attachement tordu qui m’a déstabilisée 🤷🏼♀️. Il l’a façonnée, utilisée, mais on sent qu’il tient à elle… à sa manière. Et ce lien ambigu, je l'ai trouvé fascinant à suivre… et hyper triste aussi. Genre j’étais paumée entre haine et compassion 😵💫
Et puis le père de Ji Woo 😭💔 Même s’il est pas longtemps à l’écran, il est au cœur de tout. C’est son absence qui déclenche la furie de Ji Woo, et à travers les flashbacks, on sent toute la tendresse qu’il avait pour elle. Leur lien est super touchant, et ça rend la quête de vengeance encore plus poignante 👍🏻
L’ambiance, est noire comme une ruelle sans issue... L’esthétique est hyper soignée 👌🏻, les bastons sont dingues, les cuts sont secs, y’a zéro place pour respirer... Chaque épisode m’a laissée en vrac, entre adrénaline et émotion pure 😵 Et l’OST, mon dieu, j’ai encore le cœur qui bat dès que j’entends My name, Mediocre life… C’est grave stylé, grave lourd, et ça colle parfaitement à l’ambiance et à ma playlists 💣🎧😉
Ce drama c’est un vrai coup de poing dans le ventre, un cri de rage étouffé, une quête d’identité déguisée en vengeance. J’ai vibré, j’ai saigné avec elle, j’ai espéré avec elle 🫶🏻… et à la fin, j’avais l’impression d’avoir vécu ce chemin avec elle, du début à la fin 🖤
Bref, "My Name", c’est pas une simple histoire de vengeance. C’est une traversée de l’enfer… les poings serrés, le cœur abîmé, mais la tête haute 💥🥹✌🏻

Una venganza que me dejó sin aliento
Cuando vi Mi nombre, me encontré con una historia que no se anda con rodeos. Desde el primer episodio, la serie te lanza a un mundo donde la confianza es peligrosa y cada decisión pesa. Lo que más me atrapó fue la protagonista: una mujer que no busca ser admirada, sino sobrevivir y entender lo que le arrebataron.🎭 Lo que me marcó como espectador:
- La ambientación es oscura, urbana, y transmite una sensación constante de amenaza
- Las escenas de acción son físicas, crudas, sin glamour — te hacen sentir cada golpe
- La música acompaña con tensión y melancolía, sin distraer del drama
- El ritmo es firme: no hay relleno, cada episodio avanza con propósito
No puedo contar detalles sin arruinar la experiencia, pero sí puedo decir que es una historia que te deja pensando en lo que significa perderlo todo… y seguir adelante sin pedir permiso.

« My Name » a réussi à me surprendre. Avec une trame parlant de vengeance bien connue, mais exploitée avec brio grâce à un scénario prenant, mais surtout, grâce à des acteurs qui furent tout simplement parfaits dans leurs rôles, captivant notre attention ! La seule chose que j’ai à déplorer, c’est que le drama soit si court, ne laissant pas plus de temps pour vraiment exploiter l’histoire à son plein potentiel ! Petit avertissement, ce drama contient de la violence et des scènes assez graphiques par moment, ce qui pourrait déranger certains. Malgré tout, j’ai réellement adoré, et je recommande chaudement !
