When Revenge Becomes Your Only Name
Yoon Ji-woo watches her father murdered in front of her on her birthday. The police are useless, the investigation goes nowhere, and the grief threatens to consume her. Desperate for justice — or revenge — she turns to Choi Mu-jin, her father best friend and the boss of Korea largest drug cartel. Under his protection and training, she becomes a weapon. Her mission: infiltrate the police force as a narcotics officer and find her father killer from the inside. But the deeper she goes undercover, the more she discovers that nothing about her father death is what it seemed — and the line between justice and vengeance becomes terrifyingly blurred.
My Name is not just an action drama. It is a meditation on identity, loyalty, and the cost of revenge. What happens when the person you have become is unrecognizable to the person you used to be? What happens when revenge becomes your entire identity — your only name?
Han So-hee Reinvented as an Action Star
Han So-hee, known for softer roles in Nevertheless and The World of the Married, transformed her body and soul for this role. She trained for months in martial arts, stunt work, and weapons handling. The result is one of the most believable, visceral performances by a female action star in Korean entertainment history. Her fight scenes are brutal, unpolished, and desperate — she wins not because she is stronger, but because she wants it more. The raw intensity she brings to every scene, from bone-crushing fights to moments of quiet devastation, earned her critical acclaim and a legion of new fans worldwide.
