My Name (2021)

Watchseries; As I was watching this show, I kept trying to convince myself that it will get better, it will get better. For what it's worth, the acting was great. I think Han So-Hee clearly cemented her place as a top female actress in Korea. Park Hee-Soon and Kim Sang-Ho never disappoint. The problem was that we've all seen countless iterations of this story. It's just a question of is the person seeking revenge a male or female? Whose death set the main character on the path of vengeance? Who's the really villain? Does the end justify the mean? Etc., etc., etc. The show runners made sure not to miss out on any cliches. But yet, I tried to convince myself to like it. Hoping for a surprisingly refreshing ending. Then, in Ep. 8, the director could not resist the temptation to throw in a mid-city car chase/crash and a completely formulaic love/sex scene. By the end of the show, the sheer cliche overload was exhausting and I was simply happy that it finally came to a stop, albeit very predictable end. If you're a big fan of Han So-Hee, why not. For all others, you might want to invest 8 hrs of your life on something else.

My Name watchseries. 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 into 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.

First 6 episodes are FIRE & the last 2 episodes are Trash .

PERSONALLY this is the second korean show i wached and they both have a maindblowing ideea with a FIRE start and then at the end .. its like watching some trash disney anime all is good in the end , hell no.

Good actors and good acting and the soundtrack is re markable but the end .. the end is 100 procent trash quality .

Its like the writters decided at the end that they did amazing and they could not let be and : LETS PISS ALL OVER THIS AMAZING JOB WE DID

For true pleasure watching this show i sugest one will watch only the first 5 episodes , maybe 6 .

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 EPISODEs ? Koreeans made Big Kaka.

This drama is not for the faint-hearted for its many scenes of pure, unadulterated violence and bloodshed.

Brutality is in next level!

This drama is based on an orginal screenplay.

The narrative is not groundbreaking for those who are in love with the dark thriller and suspense genre. But when the re-telling of a similar concept is executed well, it is an absolute joy to watch it. It has a gritty storytelling infused with an incredible cast performances, all of the cast I mean every single actor no matter the screen-time they have given has done an amazing work.

The direction: The camera captured the action choreography in a seamless way. It's crazy to know that some shots were one-shot.

Han So Hee: I was literally in awe by her acting. My God she pulled off every action scene with her soul. She did it without a stuntman.

Here she is badass, intelligent and ofcoarse arrogant who has only one motive in her life.

Ahn Bo Hyun: This man is exploring his acting skills and how! He did a phenomenal job here as well.

Although the main character is the FL only but he did full support to her.

Their relationship was very well-written which played an important role towards the end of the drama.

Park Hee Soon: This man stole the show for me. I want to see his more work.

He is pretty merciless, but you can also see a glimpse of his emotions. A part of him is vulnerable, and he takes risks without thinking about the outcomes.

OST: The music composer is an award winner of Grand Bell award, you will know why he is, after you listen to all the OSTs. Every beat matched perfectly with every scene. You will know once you watch.

This isn't out of the box or extraordinary but definitely an engaging series I was hooked from the very first episode and binge-watched it.

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!!!

There were two things I was expecting to see in this show when I watched the trailer, Departed style story and ongoing mindless action scenes. While it did adopt the Departed style story in a different context, it showed less actions than I was expecting. The fight scenes were good, but some fights are too short and some episodes don't even have one. The main theme of this show is "the conviction" as one of the main character says. It shows how a person's mind reaches to a certain extent, and there are a lot of stories to back up which may bore you to death. The shorter version of this show would be a korean horror movie, Bedeviled which shows a woman goes above and beyond literally. Overall, the show was enjoyable, but again it could've been better if it focused on showing more fight scenes. So, if you are expecting to see less of the story and more actions, than it's definitely not for you. Of just skip to the fight scenes. It's worth watching them.
