My Name is a revenge thriller. We have seen many dramas in the same genre, but adding the touch of mafia and some bad blood from the past has just upped the level of My Name. Our leading lady, Han So-hee, was previously seen in dramas like World of Married and Nevertheless. Especially her outing in Nevertheless left fans frustrated with her oblivious character as Na-bi, who can’t stop herself from falling for a guy who is a walking red flag. Han So-hee herself seemed done with her character in interviews. But with My Name releasing just a couple of months later, So-hee managed to wipe her past image in a hot minute. With her amazing chemistry with her co-star, viewers couldn’t help but wonder if they’ll end up together, what would happen to her character, and would she get her revenge? Read ahead to find the answer to all these burning questions.
K-Drama My Name Plot Summary
My Name revolves around the character of Yoon Ji-woo, played by Han So-Hee. She is a loner in school and apparently only has her father as a family member. Her father remains absent for long spells of time, and this infuriates Ji-woo to a great extent. Eventually, Ji-woo ends up witnessing the brutal shooting of his dad on her birthday eve while he was on his way to meet her. The traumatic event leaves her scarred and eventually hungry for revenge. She vows to find and kill the person who killed her father. On this prospect, she meets Choi Mu-jin, played by Park Hee-soon, who claims himself to be very close with her father. He happens to be the boss of Korea’s biggest drug ring. He takes Ji-woo under his feathers and starts training her for the day when she actually comes face to face with her’s dad’s killer. Ji-woo becomes a great fighter under his guidance.
Since she believes that a policeman killed her father, hence she gets into the Police department as an undercover. While working in the police department, she comes across facts that make her have second thoughts about everything she knew. She starts questioning Mu-jin and also the police department. Meanwhile, she gets off on the wrong foot with Jeon Pil-do, played by Ahn Bo Hyun, a detective in the Narcotics Unit. They have a strained relationship but end up falling for each other while they get to know each other more on missions.
Furthermore, we have more bad guys like Do Gang Jae, played by Chang Ryul, who is too hot to be hated. His character will have you wishing for the well-being of Ji-woo and Pil-do alike.

Does Ji-woo Get Her Happy Ending? Does Ji-woo End Up With Pil-do?
Well, the answer to the first question totally depends on your perspective. The show has a bittersweet ending. It gives us the revenge served cold that Ji-woo and we deserved but at some huge costs. The murderer turns out to be Mu-jin himself. It is revealed that her father was actually a policeman who went undercover to bust Mu-jin’s drug ring. Ji-woo misunderstood her father the whole time, and that fact pains her a lot.
Jeon Pil-do is the only one who truly gets her and comforts her when she needs it the most. They end up confessing their love for each other and consummate their relationship. But as they say, good times don’t last forever. Just when we think that Ji-woo finally has someone she can rely on, Mu-jin gets Pil-do killed. That, too, right in front of her eyes. The episode left most of them in trauma, but their relationship was truly beautiful while it lasted. It is a consolation of some sort to think Ji-woo at least got some moments of happiness in an otherwise intense and overall sad drama.
Nevertheless, K-drama My Name makes for a really interesting watch if you like watching revenge thrillers.
