4.5/5
Han delivers a performance of great physicality, intensity and occasional vulnerability, and writer Kim Ba-da gives her a lot to do -- My Name works on a range of levels from teenage coming-of-age story to old-school police drama. Go to Full Review

3/4
You know how in most action series, there is that one guy who can fight a team of gangsters, get stabbed and bounce back into action in no time? In "My Name," that guy is a kickass woman. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
My Name delivers a tense thriller that, despite its shortcoming, manages to get the viewer to invest in its believable cast of characters as the complex web surrounding a father’s murder comes undone. Go to Full Review

3/5
While My Name was exciting and occasionally even surprising in its first half, the episodes in its back half are dreary and repetitive by comparison. Go to Full Review

Kobié J @Raunwyn Mar 8 I picked this show at random because I couldn't sleep one night. I was actually blown away by the quality of everything! The cinematography was gorgeous. The music was perfect. The pacing was nearly perfect throughout the entire series. I'm not much of a binge watcher but I had to binge this one. Edge of my seat throughout each episode. There was some twists and turns some of it predictable some of it not but all of it executed perfectly. I was just so engaged in each character, where the story was going and how each conflict would eventually resolve itself. The fight scenes we're beautifully choreographed. The violence wasn't gratuitous. Rather it was rough, deliberate and an important part of the story. What I was not expecting was the complexity of the various relationships and the slow burn of emotional conflict that resulted. The The entire cast hit all the emotional points and just sucked me and deeper. Han So Hee did an incredible job and I'm now a fan! 5 out of 5 See more Lily V. @seleneci Feb 11 I just enjoy stuff without men in it See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 23 8 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It tells the story of a girl after the disappearance of her father. She joins a gang to take revenge, and her journey is both believable and full of action. In my opinion, the atmosphere is haunting, and the emotions are strong. I felt really perturbed by some scenes, because they were very realistic and emotional. The main actress gives a very powerful performance, and the story is exceptional. I think the ending is monumental, and this series is one of the best I’ve seen.

The revenge was so interesting to watch and this movie at points could be so emotional but in the end I loved it and was hooked Ji woo had such a good character. I will continue to love this drama.
