Why didn’t I watch this earlier PARK HEE SOON MARRY ME???
MY NAME is a dark& brutal crime drama that completely pulled me in. The action is intense, the fight scenes are insanely good, and the retro music makes everything feel even more powerful. 💯Even though I’ve seen a lot of action and thriller dramas, I honestly didn’t see all the plot twists coming. Han So-hee is amazing in this role, and Park Hee-soon was a huge standout for me—his acting and screen presence were incredible.
Raw, gripping, and definitely worth watching from start to end. 10/10

So Hee played this role like her life was on the LINE.
So Hee really came through with her acting. This has to be her best performance yet. This show just further proves how dynamic of an actor So Hee can really be. UGH! NO ONE'S DOING IT LIKE SO HEE!The story can drag on a bit, but it's not that noticeable as there's only eight episodes. There are some obvious plot twists but it is still enjoyable. Romance plot was a bit iffy because it was kinda unnecessary (but I understand why they would include it). Overall, love this show. So Hee's acting really made the show.

Intense and Short Watch
Amazing choice for character cast. Each cast member did an amazing playing their role. I mainly watched this drama for Han So-hee and I am overall amazed at her performance. The thriller and suspense elements of the drama definitely did not disappoint. The plot is generic since it is about revenge, but an awesome quick watch if you are looking for one. To make up for the shortcomings of the plot, I simply liked how short it is and definitely do see myself rewatching this drama. The ending was a little bit underwhelming though.Was this review helpful to you?
Hell hath no fury?
I mean, yeah ok. I like that it's a strong female character. But this drama could have been so much more!!!!!I figured out who villian is in the first episode itself. I felt that the characters lacked depth to their stories, to justify their decisions. The ML for instance -- there's no character arch or a valid reason for him sympathising with the FL except for him saying so. The villain too, there's no meat to his story -- why is making her a monster so important to him? Why does he give such high regards to conviction?
The actors have done an amazing job. Excellent acting. The story is very one dimensional and lacks flavour. Most of the side characters are underwritten and pretty much just fluff.
I liked the OST.
Overall, it's just an okay drama with a run of the mill plot and nothing new to add to the genre.

8 hours, felt like 4!
I wanted to watch this Kdrama for a very long time. Now, I had some free time, and even tho, this is a fantastic show, it felt like they wanted a marathon, but eventually it became a sprint. The bases of the story are nothing special, to be honest. This is a typical revenge story. What makes it great is the acting!!! Han So Hee literally carried the whole show on her back. If you want to watch this show for the plot, just ignore it, because after 2 episode or so, you're going to figure out everything. Especially if this isn't your first crime/revenge drama.The story is pretty simple, someone killed Ji Woon's dad, and she wants revenge. That's the whole story. This is like the female version of John Wick! Han So Hee's acting is absolutely phenomenal! You can tell that she's worked like crazy to make us feel, she's actually a badass fighter, and she is! Sure, sometimes fight scenes are weird because the camera movements are fast, and just like in John Wick the protagonist should've died a long time ago, and not just her. But if you can ignore this, and the average story, it's a really good, action packed 8 hours!
The big problem with this show is that it's too short, and I feel like the writer didn't really know what she wanted from this story. Sometimes Ji Woon wants revenge, but here comes the romance, if we can call it that, because it came from nowhere, it just happened. I don't know what was the point if they killed him in the process, just so we can have a big ass fight scene. They should've ignored the whole romance story, especially because I don't think the chemistry was there.
Also, the finale felt like they lost interest or didn't have enough money to finish it like they wanted to. We literally don't know anything about what happened with Ji Woon after she killed Moo Jin. How did she survive, why she's not in prison, etc?! It was like they cut out 30 minute.
For me: the best ending would've been Ji Woon kills Moo Jin, but she would've died in the process, because what now? She's going to live alone, without any punishment? Makes no sense. You can't just live a normal life after killing so many people.
So, yeah, this is a great drama overall, but it felt like a 1st season, and I don't think there's going to be a 2nd season, and I don't think we need another season, because she finished what she started. With 10 episode, this show would be perfect!

my favourite kdrama of all time.
This drama is absolutely amazing, Han So-Hee was phenomenal as per usual. This drama has such depth to it and perfectly portrayed a strong independent female lead and I enjoyed the fact that romance was not her focus and she did not loose sight of her goals and revenge due to a man. However it was also an enjoyable sub plot and I really liked their dynamic and how he became a support system for her. The betrayal of Choi Mujin was perfectly executed and not predictable in my opinion which just added to the angst of this show. Beautiful show. My go to monthly rewatch.Was this review helpful to you?
Don't waste your time... Watch Kill It.
This kind of story is a common trope in a lot of drama plots, if done correctly it can be amazing. Whats lacking in this one is not the acting as such, but the amount of plot holes in the actual scenes. Not only that, but there is a lack of suspense built up into each episode, as well as poor timing in the character development, and a lack development for the most part. Some scenes pointless, andthere is too many breadcrumbs, making the motive so predictable. The way the characters themselves are portayed often mirrors the excessiveness of japanese dramas. Rather than wasting your time on this, watch Kill It or A Smile Has Left From Your Eyes. Those two were much better.Was this review helpful to you?

I thought i was gonna be disappointed but i wasn’t.
I'm not gonna lie, i was really shocked the moment pildo was killed and even a little disappointed but as i finished the whole drama i realized that sadly not every story has a happy ending. still, i was satisfied that she could get revenge for the death of those she loved and trusted the most in her life. her strength is no joke and i'm not even talking about her body but her mind. making the decision to kill him and live for the rest of her life with the thought of being a monster for doing everything she have done is not easy.as of for the ending itself, i did felt like a lot of things were kept in the middle. i wanted to see how she got to get away with the murder and everything else and i was really hoping to see the captain's reaction to mujin's death.
even so, i can't say that i didn't enjoyed this history. it was catch and every moment had me really thrilled about what was going to happen. the whole story, acting and all the action of it were really amazing, such a great production. han sohee did proved the amazing actress she is and honestly i'm not disappointed with the ending even though i wish there were more details on some stuff. kudos to ahn bohyun and park hee-soon acting. i know that it isn't easy to detail every part of the story so i can say they ended up doing a good job.
i thought i was gonna be disappointed but i wasn’t. this whole drama was indeed amazing.

8 hours of Female John Wick Absolutely Beating A**
Phenomenal action choreography, compelling story, great soundtrack and just an incredibly talented cast of actors.Literally 95% of the cast is hot too. I could pause this show in any scene and be treated to a gorgeous frame of cinema containing at least one beautiful person at any given time. This show is a Tall Glass of Water quenching my T H I R S T
Highly recommended if you love revenge, gangsters, violence, hot people, and a great fast-paced, escalating plot with insane fights! As i said in the title, its like watching 8 hours of a John Wick origin story.

I loved it though its basic
The plot is very basic revenge story but the execution is so good and her character is somehow very unique. She acted so well, I could feel the emptiness the main lead felt, it's like I could see her through her eyes, I loved it so much, I binged watched it, couldn't stop thinking about what will happen next. Also, I didn't notice any male gaze scene, which made it so much better, cause that would have ruined it. And the story is truly about her, it just felt so refreshing and so worth watching. I said the story is basic, but it is actually like really interesting too, hard to explain,.Was this review helpful to you?

The way the storyline moves is amazing and satisfying
I began watching this drama based on the sole reason that it contained just 8 episodes... But trust me by the end I was yearning for more episodes... because this was so so good and worth the watch... there are many heart wrenching scenes which still make me cry to this date .... the female lead portrays a strong women character and as always han so hee has done an amazing performance... whereas the male lead was just... what do we say perfection✨... the casting was in point ... and the storyline is worth giving it a try ...Was this review helpful to you?
