My Name (2021)

Kind of Reminds of John Wick

The premise was promising and thrilling at first. The fight scenes were outstanding. The story was going incredibly well with the protagonist (Yoon Ji-woo) playing a double agent. The way the story takes a different turn was really predictable. As the episodes went by, it became obvious that Choi Moo-jin might turn out to be her father's actual murderer. I really didn't want that to happen. because it was anticlimactic and his character was portrayed very nicely. He was like a father figure to Ji-woo, which I believe she really needed. I think it would have been nice if there wasn't just one bad side. If both sides had corrupt and good people in them. At the end, I did not understand why they had to kill Jeon Pil-do. I can't understand what significance his death had. I do not believe that his demise was crucial in order for Ji-woo to finally go after Choi Moo-jin. It felt really unnecessary. After finishing this show, I can't stop wondering. After all she has done, what is she left with now?

Se não fosse o final ...

Acredito que My Name vai satisfazer os consumidores de ação, suspense.
Menina abandonada pelo pai mafioso sofre sozinha com a condenação das pessoas, até que o pai resolve ir vê-la no dia do seu aniversário e é assassinado na frente da porta dela e ela presencia tudo. Com o pouco caso da polícia, ela entra no grupo de tráfico que o pai trabalhava, sob a proteção e treinamento do chefe, para aprender a ser uma assassina e vingar a morte do pai. Anos se passam e ela entra na polícia e vive uma vida dupla até que consiga descobrir quem foi o assassino.

A protagonista sofre tanto e segue sofrendo com o decorrer dos episódios. Han So Hee está incrível nesse história, ela entregou tudo e mais um pouco, a sua expressão de pessoa quebrada por dentro me fazia querer dar acalento a ela.
As cenas de luta são impecáveis e você se pega torcendo e gritando por ela em cada percalço que ela supera. O plot twist não é tão chocante assim, mas nem por isso perde aquela sensação de "caramba, fui enganado". A química que ela tem com o policial do seu time Ahn Bo-hyun é PERFEITA. Mesmo sabendo que não se trata de um romance você por eles.
Mas o final ... meu Deus. Que injustiça. Terminei My Name com um gosto amargo e uma revolta com os escritores, por desperdiçarem uma chance de redimir todo o sofrimento. O último episódio é sim MARAVILHOSO, porque o climax atinge e é concluído com maestria, mas ainda sim a gente fica triste por dentro pensando: mas e se?

It is a show for me!

The show is one of the few where female characters are strong throughout the story. I just wish the ending is more happy for the main lead but it didn't stop me from liking this drama.

The actors are all suited the role and I admire Han Sohee for taking such taxing action and looks believable doing the fight scenes. That one villain guy is very good from a likable oppa at first then he became very greedy the acting is really good.

The fight scenes are also very realistic and the cinematography is setting the mood for more dark and sinister plot.

I don't really have much complaint maybe the rewatch value is kind of low cos I don't see myself watching it again. All my expectations was met except that ending but it's so minor.

Gritty revenge story in the style of John Wick

Korean Netflix productions are where it's at right now, apparently. Add this one to the pile of cool shit coming out of there recently.

It's basically a revenge story in the style of John Wick mixed in with Infernal Affairs, had it been stretched out to an 8-episode mini-series.

Aside from the titular character though, it's astonishingly lacking in female characters. It's like the entire police force and pretty much all speaking parts are men aside from the main character, so she sticks out like a sore thumb. Kinda feels intentional to reinforce how alone she is but… such a weird choice.
_________________________________________

Stunts - 85/100 | A bit of annoying CGI fixes here and there but nothing that bothered me all that much. Great stunt work for the most part.

Narrative - 68/100 | This show takes itself very seriously, it's dramatic and emotional and tense. It's also exciting and has quite a few enjoyable action scenes, however the last 3 episodes or so become quite a bit needlessly convoluted. Could have easily cut 1 episode overall for much better pacing. Lead actress Han So-hee gives a great, wide-ranging performance. As far as how she postures herself, she reminds me of Hong Kong action star Moon Lee in how earnest she approaches the role of a tough petite woman up against the world. She's not nearly as acrobatic though.

Fight Choreography - 80/100 | The fights start off pretty damn amazing in the first half but get progressively worse as the episode count increases, which bums me out because the earlier ones got me so excited. Early sequences have a wonderful flow to them. Precise and concise choreography, it looks real. Later on, overdone editing comes in the picture and, while it's decent, it looks disjointed a bit, and not as good. Sadly, it's a typical outcome in films and shows involving martial arts, fights, and stunts. The earlier fight sequences usually star background stuntmen and/or martial artists who can sell the hits and perform better stunts. As more important characters become involved in fights (because the narrative demands it), fights get worse because those primarily dramatic actors aren't so good at selling the hits, and performing the stunts. And so the director has to hide some things behind editing and framing wizardry. Or sometimes it's a different team and they approach the fights differently. Previs is key here to help prepare for that.

That being said, the fights in this series aren't anywhere close to being bad, they're great and the lead (who fights throughout the series) is really dedicated to selling everything she can. But the tumble in fight scene quality is quite noticeable between the first half and the second half of this show, it's actually interesting to see it unfold, and is a subject I wanted to broach one day or another, so this was a good time to do so. It happens in martial arts movies too, all the time.

Enjoyment - 72/100 | Thrilling show with lots of hard-hitting action and dramatic heft. It gets bogged down in some weird narrative beats near the end, but overall it's still an impactful winner. And I loved the killer synthwave soundtrack that started almost every time an action beat kicked in. That was simply awesome. If you want to win me over when making something, definitely do that!

Dissertação sobre meus sentimentos assistindo

Achei a atuação da Han sohee excelente ela te leva do céu ao inferno com uma história triste e emocionante, porém não é pesada o tempo todo a sim momentos de respiro em q vc pode relaxar e aproveitar mas eles duram pouco. Me chocou bastante a morte do parceiro dela, pois naqueles últimos momentos em q passaram juntos ele me fez ter esperança assim como ela de q poderia deixar essa história de vingança para trás e seguir em frente, nunca tive um choque de realidade tão grande quanto no momento em q ele morreu. Foi o fim da esperança, da chama no peito dela q dizia q talvez no futuro viesse algo melhor, foi o último fio de humanidade nela a partir desse ponto ela se tornou a criatura bestial q o choi moojin queria q ela virasse, fez ela continuar trilhando esse caminho de vingança sangrento até o fim. Chorei bastante com as emoções finais e a mensagem de que a vingança no fim não vale a pena foi transmitida com maestria, no fim a jiwoo estava pior do q no começo sozinha desolada e ainda será perseguida pelo resto da vida pelo seus crimes, ela conseguiu a vingança q desejava mas certamente isso não acabou com o vazio do seu coração. A obra é rica em boas atuações, desenvolvimento decente e conclusões de arcos de personagens satisfatórios.

Didn’t Live Up to Its Full Potential

I was honestly kind of disappointed in this drama… I’d still give it a 6.5 out of 10 because of the overall production and excellent acting. However, I found the ending to be pretty underwhelming. I’ll explain why below (SPOILERS AHEAD).

First, I understand that Pildo was able to get through to Jiwoo and convince her that revenge was not the best path forward. She embraced the idea of a new life with Pildo by her side. What I don’t understand is why Pildo had to die. Sure, his death motivated Jiwoo to once again seek revenge. But why did Mujin kill Pildo when he knew Jiwoo would come after him? Wouldn’t he benefit more if Jiwoo looked the other way (especially since she finally seemed content to move on and leave Mujin to his own devices)? And if Mujin wanted to get rid of Jiwoo to ensure that she wouldn’t share his wrongdoings with the authorities, why did he shoot Pildo instead of her? Thinking from Mujin’s perspective, he could have saved himself a lot of trouble if he had taken Jiwoo out when he had the opportunity.


Another gripe I have relates to the final showdown between Jiwoo and Mujin. I’m not someone who needs fight scenes to be super realistic. However, I was disappointed by just how unbelievable the scene ended up being. With the number of injuries Jiwoo sustained, it seems nearly impossible that she could have defeated Mujin, let alone survived to fight another day. Although I’m glad Jiwoo didn’t die, I honestly think her collapsing in the tunnel would have been a more fitting, albeit darker, ending to the story. Jiwoo got her revenge, but it took a toll on her. She lost everyone she cared about and gave everything to kill the man responsible. Now that Mujin is dead, Jiwoo will need to find another purpose in life, but we really don’t get any hint as to what that will be. If Jiwoo had died in the tunnel, it would have at least given us a solid ending to the story, rather than leaving it open-ended like so many kdrama writers love to do.

One final thing that stood out to me was how suddenly Pildo and Jiwoo developed a romantic relationship with one another. Now don’t get me wrong: I love a bit of romance, so this didn’t bother me as much as the previous things I mentioned. However, it still felt rather rushed. Pildo and Jiwoo gave no indication of being interested in each other until episode 7, at which point they quickly became romantically involved. To me, it felt like the writers threw the romance in at the last minute to make Pildo’s death more impactful—even though it didn’t make much sense based on how Jiwoo and Pildo’s relationship had been portrayed previously.

All in all, My Name was an enjoyable enough drama, but one that certainly had its fair share of plot holes. I wanted to love this show - Han So Hee is a great actress and I’m happy to see strong female leads take the spotlight. However, I felt like the execution of this story left something to be desired, especially after having just watched another, more well-developed mafia/mob drama (Bloodhounds). I know some people may disagree with me, but overall, I’d classify My Name as an exciting yet flawed kdrama.
