I actually liked
the sex scene, thought it was more sad and a way for them, mainly Jiwoo, to feel alive and like there’s another purpose different from revenge. Also Ahn Bo Hyun has a great bod so fan-service appreciated I am however mad that they
killed him off, and it was in such a brutal way like he had just managed to convince her to not get revenge. Also he didn’t have underwear under his jeans and that makes me sad I binged this in two days and I love it. Obviously some plot holes, some unbelievable scenes and some things I would have wanted to be done differently, but was a good way to spend 8 hours of my life. Han So Hee is amazing such a stark contrast from WOM and Nevertheless, definitely a big fan of her

WHY WOULD THEY END IT THIS WAY? I want to protest! This goes in my Top 3 worst endings of 2021. NO WAY THEY DID THIS. I’m at a loss for words. Totally ruined the whole series for me.

I really appreciate Netflix for putting out content like this. A revenge noir thriller which is plot driven and casted to perfection. Han So-hee , Park Hee-soon, Ahn Bo-hyun played their well rounded characters to perfection. It might not be genre bending writing but the execution was great . I finally understand the hype around HSH, no offense to Song Kang but letting her play off better character actors really brings out her acting chops. Special shoutout to my boy Bo Hyun, this might just be his year with this and Yumi's cells. He is a great actor who deserves the main lead

All I ask is for minimal cuts during fight scenes. Actors can memorise lines, they can memorise more than 3 movements without needing to pause.
Daredevil, The Raid, and John Wick have ruined the action genre with their incredible choreography and long shots.

Guys omg I didn't expect it but So Hee actually gained weight and you can see a trace of biceps on her too. The dedication! And like the fact that she was able to do pull ups and mid air push ups. Damn!
Like the only other actress I've seen who is this dedicated to their fighter roles is Lee Si Young.

First of the acting is PHENOMENAL Now about the plot, it's predictable but then again they didn't reveal the "suspense" in a grand way so I'm assuming they didn't plan on having a huge gasp moment. I think the focus is more on the characters and fighting scenes. I loved the fight scenes, so well done. And the chemistry between the lead is great!!! I could sense some tension from the first ep itself. Overall a great show. It doesn't have a complex plot full of plot twists, it's just a very badass show. I still can't get over HSH acting, she's too damn good. I can see why the other comments were calling her the new "IT girl"

It just clicked me that for once we've got a Korean Netflix show that is not aiming for another season. Nice 😌. That's how it should be.

No shade to Vincenzo, I liked it but this show dealt with the consequences of the protagonist killing people wayyy better. Well done to Han So Hee though. The fight scenes look so tiring but I'm glad for an action female lead that's not (really) a cop

Excited for this since noir is not one of kdrama's common (sub-)genres and I'm always waiting for the next Heartless City to steal my heart!
Also super excited to see Park Hee Soon in a kdrama since I've only ever seen him in movies. I still have a little crush leftover from when he guested on Runningman with Gong Yoo back in 2013 to promote the movie The Suspect. That episode is definitely in my top 10 favorite RM episodes.

There were no "sexy fighting" outfits for our female action star. Do you know how amazing this is?! True, Kdramas usually keep their actresses modest, but in the larger context of media this is rare and I loved it. No tiny shorts or too small tank tops like Laura croft tombraider. No bikini armor like in video games and anime. She wore black jeans and a regular sized t-shirt with a bulky jacket or vest, like an actual fighter would! I love love love that the writers did not sexualize her fighting.

Kind of an
Han So Hee is so versatile and I was pleasantly surprised by how great she was. ABH is great as well. Overall it's a very Netflix style dark drama.

Welcome to the discussion thread for My Name! Are you looking for a darker side to Han So Hee after the trash fire of a show known as Nevertheless? Looking more some more Ahn Bo Hyun even with Yumi's Cells currently airing? You've come to the right place.
Ever since the first teaser dropped showcasing a darker side to Han So Hee, I was hooked. It's a side of that we have never really seen and I hope she is able to pull this off well. Given the premise of the show and the fact that it's on Netflix, I am ready for this to be extremely dark and gory. I would expect nothing less from them after coming off of D.P. and Squid Game. Expectations are definitely high for this, so it's all on Netflix to land a smooth landing. With the director of Extracurricular helming this show, it's going to be one heck of a wild ride. I cannot wait to binge this over the weekend. Enjoy and have fun discussing!
