My Name Tldr
Overall, I would say Han So Hee's acting really shine and the depth given was amazing. The storyline of My Name is so unpredictable and insane, every second of the drama was intense and you would want to click on Next Episode so quickly that the Netflix's 5 second is just too long of a wait. 

Rating: 4.5/5
