Sometimes a role does not suit the performer, which seems to be the massive feedback from her previous performance in Nevertheless, but the characterization of Yoon Ji Woo, the FL here, is such a perfect fit for she truly embodies the persona in totality. Thankfully it is the latter because Han So Hee has unreservedly dispelled the doubts surrounding her ability to tackle this lead role which she does so magnificently with aplomb. My Name is a character-driven story where the failure or success is fully dependent on the depiction of the main character in question. The biggest praise is reserved for the cast themselves, and none more so than the lead actress, Han So Hee. In particular the varied fight scenes involving mixed martial arts movements and knife fights in open spaces as well as cramped indoor settings. Credit goes to the relentless efforts of the action choreographer and the cast themselves in performing the rather complicated and dangerous stunts. I love the fact that the cinematography perfectly captures the action sequences because oftentimes these scenes are ruined by shoddy camerawork or poor post-production editing and visual effects, which is not the case here. The high production value is reflected in the art direction while technical execution is outstanding. Likewise, as far as the production quality is concerned, there are no discernible major issues. Despite composing a major proportion of the entire drama, some of the quieter and more poignant moments are interspersed throughout, including an extremely brief romantic interlude in the very last episode. The action is breathlessly high-octane featuring countless fight scenes ranging from mass brawls to hand-to-hand combats involving the use of a variety of weapons. Over the course of only 8 episodes at 50 minutes each, I did not lose interest or feel a smidgen of boredom. The fact that there is absolutely zero comedic absurdity and contrived humour is a major boon for me as well. I have no major complaints over the design of certain plot devices and twists as well as the final outcome. For the most part I’m quite pleased with the direction and tempo of the story development which manages to sustain the momentum of the intensity, tension and suspense. My Name certainly accomplishes this, in my humble opinion, through a fascinating take on the classic revenge and betrayal plot with a focus on gritty storytelling infused with incredible cast performances and which does not shy away from highly graphic and explicit visual language. However, when the re-telling of a similar concept is executed well, it can be an absolute joy to behold and may open doors to new fans of this dark thriller and suspense genre. The narrative is not groundbreaking, for those acquainted with the genre. The Grand Bell Award-winning composer, Hwang Sang Jun, serves as music director. This drama is not for the faint-hearted for its many scenes of pure, unadulterated violence and bloodshed will most certainly induce much consternation indeed.īased on an original screenplay, this production is helmed by Kim Jin Min, whose previous works include Extracurricular and Lawless Lawyer, and headlined by Han So Hee, of The World of the Married and Nevertheless fame. My Name is an utterly visceral tale of one woman’s odyssey of vengeance through the deepest pits of Seoul’s dark underbelly and vicious criminal underworld that is seeped in brutality and cruelty. That’s how I would describe this drama in a sentence. Her Name is Fury Fight Club meets Infernal Affairs with a dash of La Femme Nikita, Anna, Atomic Blonde, Kill Bill and Villainess, among others.
