My Name

My Name is a brilliant take on Action/Thriller involving gangsters, a woman seeking for vengeance and the hunt for the mole. The action sequences are done superbly and Han So Hee did a tremendous job with her part.

Clocking at only 8 episodes, My Name is shorter than other K Dramas, but it is definitely filled with amazing action and outstanding OST. It felt like every beat matched perfectly with the given scene, which made the overall show compelling and worth watching.

This Netflix original was good for its story, the attractive OST, the great casting along with commendable performance by Han So Hee, amazingly shot sequences with more than decent fight/action sequences and an overall violent atmospheric setting.

My Rating : 9/10.

Korean cinema does better action, crime than many industries. It should be a common knowledge by now. Even some of their bad ones have great action choreography and set pieces. With popularity of Squid Game and Parasite winning an Oscar, I would've thought lot more people would be interested in their content like k-pop and kdrama has huge following. Sadly this one isn't getting as many views as it deserves.

It's a well acted, well written and directed thriller that is shaded because Netflix isn't promoting it enough and people are still not over the whole drama over who will watch with subtitles.

The action is brutal, with sprinkles of gore. It's well shot and edited. Some of the stunts are novel and the lead actress can M O V E. Best thing about this season (and I doubt there will be another) is that there aren't many padding or fillers. Some flashbacks, forgivable cliches and plotholes aside the writing really works. There are enough twists and turns. The bad guys have motivation that make sense and not just pure evil.

Special mention to the original soundtrack and background score. Couple of them are cardio worthy. Another special mention to the action choreography which is done in a way that feels like a sub-practical fight and not clean martial arts.

Spread the word, recommend it to your friends. Watch it in original language with subs, because the dubbing is ....well everyone knows how Netflix rubbings are.

When it comes to action thrillers the plot somehow goes flat, however K-dramas never comprises with the storyline. Not only this show has brilliant action sequences, but also loads of emotions, and a strong plot that would keep you hooked till the end.

I am truly mesmerized to see how Korean Dramas are raising their bar with so many different contents this year, and My Name truly does the job well.

I watched the entire series in a day, and I just can't let it out of my head. Special mention to the actor (Han So Hee) who truly nailed the show, her hardwork was totally visible throughout. The other actors too did a great and made the series a fantastic watch and definitely made me cry at times.

Loved It!!! It's a Must-Watch!!!

Anyone who has watched Han So Hee in World of the Married or Nevertheless will surely be amazed by her versatility. Her acting here is totally convincing and so different in this action role. Not many actresses can switch from makjang drama to romance to action so well. Even if there was clever stunt use or camera work the action sequences are quite breathtakingly exciting. And she deserves an award for her effort.

The violence is more than usual for K drama action. The basic story isn't complicated and the tone is consistent. Because it is an 8 episode show there isn't the drag some 16 episode shows have. It's a neatly complete story about drugs gangs and cops. Ahn Bo Hyun of Itaewon class is well suited to the role of cop. Doesn't overact.

Best action K drama ever.

First off the plot: it is well written and grabs you instantly. I watched it in one sitting and it never dragged or got boring.

The story was smart and the conflict was interesting. Sure there are many stories that follow that gimmick of revenge with a criminal organization involved and betrayal, but this has something special to it.

The stunts were amazing and the fight scenes on point.

I got invested in all major characters instantly.

In the end I got what I expected: An edge-of-your-seat revenge story with twists and turns and emotional weight.
