If you’re struggling to find something to watch on Netflix, look no further: This K-drama has only eight episodes and is one of the most underrated TV shows on the platform.
We’ve all been there: you sink deeper and deeper into your couch, flipping through Netflix categories with blinding indifference to everything in sight. Before you know it, you’ve spent too much time trying to decide and it’s time to go to bed.
It’s hard to choose a new movie or TV show to binge-watch, especially with so many streaming services vying for your attention.
Make your life easier: According to people on Reddit, My Name is one of the best K-dramas on Netflix, and you can watch it in full right now.
The series follows Yoon Ji-woo (Han So-hee), who sets out on a quest for revenge after witnessing her father’s murder.
“She trains in hand-to-hand combat under Choi Mu-jin (Park Hee-soon), a powerful crime boss and close friend of her father, and eventually becomes a mole within the police force. Now a rookie cop in the narcotics unit, Ji-woo hunts down her father’s killer while helping Mu-jin escape the police,” reads the official synopsis.

He was hailed as a “hidden gem”viewers praising the chemistry between the lead stars, the choreography of the fight scenes and the 80s synth music.
“It’s a lot closer to a Korean TV version of Infernal Affairs/The Departed than Squid Game. That said, both of those films were critically well-received and My Name took it and put its own spin on it,” one viewer also wrote.
Unfortunately, there has been no news of a second season, so if you do end up watching My Name, make peace with the likely reality that the story ends there.
