My Name

My Name | Official Trailer | Netflix [ENG SUB]
The Swoon
Action packed Korean gangster show. We've got a cute little tough girl beating up gangs of thugs. It's great, unbelievable, but great. I guess we like to see the underdog winning. It's fast paced, the sets are great, the gang leader is suitably inscrutable, and the villain is villainous. And then there's the mystery of who killed her dad. Clues point to the police, but that gang leader, being all inscrutable and all, he might have something to do with it, even though he is our girl's protector and mentor. I mean, we can't have a straight forward story, we need a complicated plot twist in here. It's not like it's not already very complicated because our girl, loyal to the gang leader, has joined the police and is now in the narcotics division chasing the gang leader. Reminds me of The Departed. We watched the first four episodes last night.

Netflix, Korean, English subtitles, 8 episodes, 45 minutes each.
