˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ ACE my name characters with their idol!s/o (headcannons!)

choi mujin —

- this man will buy anything that has your name on it including the sport car that you created

- you had been given the chance to create your own car and when mujin found out about it he immediately tried to buy it

- key word tried

- apparently your fans were counting down the seconds that it came out

- and when it was finally his turn the bright screen of his computer said that the cars had been sold out already

- this man would become so frustrated by your fans bc no one would give up their car, no matter the price he offered

- when you came home from practice you found your boyfriend furiously tapping at his computer while a cigarette hung from his lips

- he looked up at you when he heard you entering his office

- when you asked what happened he told you that your fans are crazy maniacs

- apparently one of your fans tried to bribe him to get him to get you sign their turtle in exchange for the car

- as he annoyingly tapped his finger against his desk you walked up to him with a smile before kissing him

- he returned the kiss while pulling you onto his lap, his arms wrapping around your waist while yours were wrapped around his neck

- after a short make out session you parted with a bright smile on your face

- istg your man’s face dropped when you told him that you already owned the original car

- but he’d still try to buy your car from you bc he really wants that shit with your name on it

- you eventually gave in with a smile before you handed him the keys to now his new car

- he’s inseparable with that mf car

- and he’d get so mad whenever there’s a scratch on it or if there’s a splatter of blood that accidentally got on it during a fight

- he’ll side eye any other car he’s in bc it’s not as good as yours

- your groups songs would automatically be downloaded so he listens to it anytime he’s driving

- one time taeju got into his car and mujin insisted on driving and when he turned on his playlist which is filled with your songs taeju eyed him with a raised brow

- just imagine two feared gangsters listening to girly pop music with a straight face while chasing some other gangster that betrayed them

do gangjae —

- gangjae loved it when you did interviews but he really really hated it when you had to lie about your relationship

- he knew you had to do it bc of your company but it didn’t stop his annoyance though

- especially not as he watched your most recent interview in his car while a cigarette hung from his lips

- he had a fond look in his eyes as he watched you laugh at something that your members had said

- but when the man interviewing you asked you about your love life and you awkwardly laughed while denying having a relationship he could feel his fists tighten against his phone

- he watched the rest of the interview and glared at anyone that tried to speak to him

- later that evening when you came back home he grinned at you before kissing you heatedly

- the rest of the evening was spent in your shared bedroom and when you finally fell asleep gangjae took your phone

- he unlocked it quietly before opening instagram

- gangjae glanced at your sleeping form in his arms with a slight smile while choosing a couple of pictures of the two of you

- in one of the pictures his arms were wrapped around you while you held your phone

- while in another one the two of you were in his car after an event that you went to, he remembers picking you up and right before the two of you were about to kiss he snapped a picture of the moment claiming he didn’t have enough pictures of the two of you together

- the last picture of you was a mirror pic where you had your arms wrapped around his neck while kissing his cheek lovingly, his tattoos and abs were full on display and your body was pressed against his

- gangjae skimmed through the pictures one more time, putting a red heart in the caption before he posted the pictures for the whole world to see

- he quickly shut your phone off making sure it was silenced so nobody would disturb your time together before he wrapped his arms further around you placing a kiss against your nose

- the next morning you let out a groan but you weren’t able to reach for your phone because your boyfriend tightened his grip around your waist

- eventually you were able to escape from his grip and when you finally took your phone you saw a billion notifications from everyone you knew

- you furrowed your brows in confusion before replying to your manager who was talking about some instagram post so you immediately went to your page only to see a few pictures of you and gangjae blowing up

- your mouth fell open and your phone fell from your hand as you felt your boyfriend crawl behind you to kiss your neck

- ‘what’s wrong baby?’

- you quickly turned to him, already having figured out that he was the one to post those pictures

- he immediately calmed you down telling you that he’ll fully take the blame for it with a grin on his face while you complained to him with your head buried into his shoulder

- so for the next two weeks you were busy with interviews, lives and press conferences while gangjae enjoyed that he could finally be your proper boyfriend

jeon pildo —

- this man was sitting behind his computer screen waiting for your album to come out before immediately pre ordering it

- even though you told him that you would gladly give him an album for free he refused telling you that he wanted for you to make money out of it

- so he waited three weeks for his album to arrive

- his album arrived in the morning right before he had to leave for work but he couldn’t wait to open it so he took it with him to open during his lunch break despite the fact that his colleagues would tease him for it

- after a quiet morning of sitting at his desk he finally got the chance to open his album instead of eating his lunch

- he tore the carton box that was around the album before finally taking the album into his hands with a smile

- but just before he could even look through the album, his colleagues came in

- hyejin sat down at her desk next to his while glancing at the bright pink album in his hands

- she raised her brow which made pildo roll his eyes at her

- when she asked him what it was he quickly told her that it was his girlfriend’s album

- but when he said that she didn’t realise that he meant it as in that the album was made by you and not bought by you

- he quickly went through your members their pages before stopping at yours

- he took his time to admire you with heart eyes while hyejin looked curiously at his album

- ‘that’s my girlfriend’ pildo said proudly while showing her a picture of you

- ‘she’s pretty’ his partner told him while watching him staring at your pictures with loving eyes and an amazed smile

- and when he finally came to the extras he nervously shifted in his seat praying for one of your photocard

- he took the first pc before flipping it and falling back in his seat when he got one of your members instead of you

- he quickly pushed the pc away hoping that one of the two remaining pc’s is one of yours

- then he flipped the second one and let out a sigh when he got another member who wasn’t you

- he quickly readied himself and flipped the third and last pc a wide smile blooming on his face as he saw your sparkling eyes and kind smile

- pildo immediately send you a picture of his new photocard of you that he could add to his collection before taking his other photocards to try to trade them online with a pc of yours

- with a final smile he put the photocard in his wallet so he could always keep you close to him

jung taeju —

- the thing taeju hated more than anything was when you left for tours because he knew he could never go with you

- so he resorted to watching interviews and concerts of you after a hard day of work and coming home to an empty house

- he called you anytime he could and made a habit of sending you gifts as often as he could

- and you absolutely loved to come back to the hotel while knowing that there would be a present on your bed waiting for you after a long tiring concert that had absolutely drained you

- you opened your door while quickly bidding your members goodnight before closing your door with a sigh

- you entered your bedroom and a smile grew on your face when you saw an expensive looking gift neatly placed on your bed

- you pulled your phone from your pocket and quickly pressed on your boyfriend’s contact number

- taeju picked up his phone at the first ring while laying on your shared bed with his arm underneath his head

- a smile spread across his face when he heard your voice for the first time that day while you jumped onto the bed, quickly putting him on loudspeaker to be able to open the package he send you

- he quietly listened to you gleefully unpacking the expensive vivienne westwood necklace that he picked for you himself

- as you thanked him endlessly he asked to face time you so he would be able to see you and you happily did it while thanking him endlessly

- you put on the necklace and showed it to him while he compliments you endlessly

- for the next few hours you talk with each other until you fell asleep while taeju watched you lovingly already counting down the days that you come back home to him

- but he was pleased enough when he noticed you wearing your new necklace at your next concert

yoon jiwoo —

- you and your girlfriend were walking hand in hand through the empty streets while talking quietly with one another

- your relationship had to be kept secret so your company told you to tell people that she was just your friend

- fortunately jiwoo didn’t mind that much because she was a pretty private person and liked to be able to walk around without dispatch taking secret pictures of her

- as the two of you were talking about your weekend plans she noticed a group of high schoolers following the two of you while giggling loudly

- she tugged on your hand which made you turn towards her with a soft smile before it slightly fell at her serious expression

- you looked at the direction she nudged her head to before you smiled warmly at the teenagers that froze when they noticed you saw them

- after a few seconds they ran up to you before bowing at you and complimenting you for your hard work which made you smile wider

- you noticed jiwoo letting go of your hand when your fans asked for some pictures but decided to talk with her after the encounter

- a few minutes later you were having a friendly conversation with them but you noticed them squirming nervously while glancing at your girlfriend every few seconds

- your fingers grazed hers for a second and it seemed to wake her up from her daze

- your fans left shortly after and you quickly linked arms with your girlfriend again while continuing your walk

- when you asked what was wrong she just shrugged so you decided to drop the subject noticing that she wasn’t in the mood to talk to about it

- you quickly looked around before dragging your confused girlfriend into an empty, darkly lit street before kissing her softly

- she softened into the kiss and put her hand on your cheek

- and you knew she knew what you wanted to tell her when you parted with heavy breathing and soft smiles

[tewwor-moving]

* & INTROSPECTION — PILDO / JIWOO BY PROXY .

hi, hello, let me babble into the nothingness of my soapbox that is this platform thank you.

mn spoilers(ish) below!

in my third verse ( bite the bullet ) for pildo, i’ve noticed a fairly stark difference of personality and it won’t leave my head. like, yes, he did almost get shot in the head before jiwoo yoinked him out of the way. but it’s never really been about the physical trauma he experiences himself. it’s always what other’s go through that leaves a deeper and longer impact on him, so i think.

going back to the car scene ( again — no i won’t shut up about it ), pildo either has some serious compartmentalization skills going on to chat with jiwoo like normal when she wakes up and he deals with the trauma off screen, or nearly being pancaked by a car crusher really didn’t have a big impact on him ( which i personally highly doubt — which is why i have my hc of certain triggers for my version of him ).

also, when giho’s tapdancing on the line of dying, the shock and hurt you see pildo go through is visceral before and after the incident. in my mind, he becomes a little more desperate to get to the bottom of things ( whichever way that may lead him ) and open.

i know he has that whole speech of wanting revenge so badly that he began to lose himself in that shack on the beach. he didn’t recognize who he was anymore, etc, etc. but i think.. that maybe... after jiwoo ( in this third verse ) decides to continue her pursuit of mujin outside of the law ( because he’s still alive, he’s still here, danger can and will always follow so long as he breathes — even if it feels as if his own is linked with hers because of roots planted in betrayal ) that pildo breaks a little. he starts to revert back to that time where he doesn’t know his face anymore. where he’d do anything to catch whoever he’s seeking, albeit without wanting to harm them this time since it’d be jiwoo after she barely makes it out alive ( which he wouldn’t even allow himself believe ).

so he’s more rough around the edges. more brash and bold ( if you can believe that ). less peppy and outwardly annoying ( he doesn’t have the time to fool around anymore ). even quicker to anger, quicker to lash out, quicker to reprimand. more.. careless. but he’s still got a good heart underneath all of that. it’s just hidden for the time being as he sorts through ( or doesn’t ) the pain of understanding how jiwoo thought that was for the best. that, despite the deep trust they’ve developed, it’s better to continue that cycle of violence because it’s the only finality that will stop mujin.

last thing. even if pildo and jiwoo do cross paths again and — let’s say the best happens and they partner up again or at least stay constant in each other’s lives — i don’t think.. that pildo will ever revert back to how he is for the majority of my name. some of that light-hearted cocky arrogance will come back, sure, but never fully. like he’s almost.. mellowed out juuuust a little bit in a weird way. i also think he clings to those he loves that much harder and closer.

my name

when i tell you i have screamed kicked shouted squealed and cried

i. the first time i ever saw han so hee was in soundtrack #1 so u can imagine the shock i got. the action? spectacular. the acting? fantabulous. the beautiful gory storyline? im in love.

ii. this is the second show in which i have shed actual tears (first one was guardian). the beautiful beautiful way they showed us the pain of both jiwoo and choi mujin, and we knew that jiwoo’s dad was definitely attached to both dongcheon members and his job so it definitely had to have hurt. choi mujin’s character was so spectacularly layered, instead of being a one dimensional evil druglord. i loved that whatever he did, we could see the pain in his eyes (im trying to make this as spoiler less as possible shutup)

iii. jeon pildo. do NOT get me started on that man. i dont think if i start ill be able to stop. HE DESERVED BETTER???? he was such an all rounder cutie pie and i was so happy when he defended jiwoo

iv. another thing i loved : unlike hollywood, kdramas dont shy away from making their heroines unattractive while fighting. i mean, how can hollywood heroines be flipped once punched twice kicked thrice and their hair is still set with a little dribble of blood from their lips? fuck yku man

jiwoo was shown crazy and mad and evil and vengeful and sentimental and stoic but we saw her longing for her life with her dad. and i think the ending, with the photo of both her dad and her on the grave, it was somehow a little bow on top.

ps: a little special point for do gangjae. that man was HOT

[euphoniumpets]

hi! could you write fluff jeon pildo x reader?

Sleep | Jeon Pildo

Please don't plagiarize my work!

A/N:finally my first jeon pildo request! I rly hope that it will be more of Jeon Pildo fics out here in tumblr soon. ALSO, THEY'RE SO ADOABLE IN THIS GIF WHY DID THEY HAD TO MAKE HIM DO LIKE THAT

Warnings: none, just pure fluff.

Pildo tried not to make a sound as he arrived in the apartment in the middle of the night. He had finished his night shift at the police station and then he went out for drink with his friends and Jiwoo.

All day he waited to come home to you and be in bed. He missed your warmth in bed and the scent of you still lingered in his mind. The door creaked a little as he winced and hoped that he didn't wake you up before he tossed his shoes to the side.

He let out a sigh before he entered the bedroom as he could see your sleepy figure in the bed. He smiled softly when he saw that you were wearing his black t-shirt that was a little too big for your size.

You knew that he was coming home late and didn't waste to take it on before you went to bed. He was already gone and you missed him the minute he left.

He took off his pants and then his shirt and tossed it to the drawers before he walked over to the bed. He lifted the blanket as he approached your body.

You stirred awake as you felt someone entering the bed as you shifted your body. You fluttered your eyes open as you could feel someone wrap their arms around you.

''Pildo?'' You asked with a groggy voice when you felt him snuggle into your body. ''Go back to sleep, honey,'' You heard him from behind as you could feel him bury his head into your neck as he pressed small kisses.

Pildo watched you as you drifted back to sleep and soon or later, he also fell asleep next to you in his arms.

– late night confessions

jeon pildo x gn!reader

genre: fluffy

warnings: scars mentioning

request: could you please write something really cute with pildo from my name??

author's note: i miss him so much it made me emotional also for recommendation i have butterfly - stayc idk the song is nice and romantic in my perception

you and pildo have been friends since you two met when you were freshmen on the police station, always going out just the two of you together to vent about work or personal situations, overall, you were "partners in crime" (that's how everyone liked to call you).

"can you hurry up, dumbass?!" pildo calls you from the outside the bar while you say goodbye to your other friends who had chosen to stick together.

"i'm coming, idiot!" you control the volume of your voice due people around you, smiling softly at your friends and running at the man.

when you step outside, you see his smile and feel you heart skipping a beat, as usual – but unknow for pildo, – making you smile back at him and hide your face with your scarf to prevent a blush from occuring in front of him.

"are you cold? let's go to a warm place, i really need to tell you something." he pouts looking the snow falling on top of you. "it's worth it, i promise."

"okay! we can go to my house then." you agree with your head and lead him to the way where you live, not too far from where you're at.

the silence between you was always comforting, but for some reason you felt pildo tense and it made you nervous too. 10 minutes after walking side to side you unlock your front door and signal him to enter.

"make yourself at home." you head to the kitchen, wishing a cup of coffee or tea.

"you know i do." he laughs shyly, following your movements with his eyes.

meanwhile, pildo is in the living room looking respectfully at the decoration. "i'm falling in love with their taste in decoration too?!" is what goes through his mind, making him shake his own head to distract himself from these thoughts.

you come back from the kitchen with two mugs in hand, sitting on the sofa while putting the mugs down at the table in front of you. you take a sip of the content inside and signalize him to sit on your side, what he does almost immediately.

"thank you." you hear his low voice and give him a confused look.

"hey, what is bothering you?" you take his hand with your free one, caressing softly, feeling his scars. "you can talk anything to me, dumbass." his eyes meet yours, making you put your mug down to pay full attention to him.

he sighs and laugh a bit, hiding half of his face with his other hand, making you smile with a thin line on your lips. feeling flustered about being sharing this moment with him made you get lost in your mind, appreciating all of his traits.

his eyes glowed every time he talked to you, his lips always formed a little smile after seeing you walk out the place, his hands were always hesitant about touching your hands or back while guiding you. and you never noticed any of those things, as he never noticed your blushes or stuttering when you get to close to him. you always tried to cheer him up when he got hopeless, helped him with the work he didn't have time to get done.

you were tuned with each other since you met.

"i think i'm in love with everything about you." he says laughing shyly, feeling like a teenager while his face starts to get hot.

you open your mouth a bit in shock not sure if you heard right. you laugh at his face getting red but you knew yours already was too.

"well, i'm sure i love everything about you." you confess your feelings to him, taking his hand close to your face and placing little kisses on it.

you felt his right hand slide on the side of your face, making you stop your previous action. both your eyes have this soft look as he leans to kiss your lips slowly and softly.

oh god, this was better than anything you lived before, his gentle touches made you melt in every emotional way possible, making you embrace him in the middle of one of the many sweet kisses you were sharing.

the snowy night became warm now with pildo.

   “   awh,   c’mon   -   don’t tell me you’re already tuckered out on me.   huh,   gangjae?   ”   pildo tipped his head in the drug lord’s direction,   his lips momentarily pursing as he brought his leg up,   the tip of his sneaker making solid contact with the other man’s stomach.   an excessive use of force, but he didn’t really care all that much   -   this guy was worth any reprimanding he might receive.   “   i can keep at this all day.   you sure you don’t want to start talkin’?   ”   he queried,   his tone surprisingly chipper for a man who was beating another man senseless;   however,   he couldn’t bring himself to feel pity for this man in particular. 

[prodbyblush]

Heyy, this is my first ask on this app ever. I'd like a scenario where reader meets mujin for the first time. No smut tho, unless it's watered down. You can do this scenario w pildo, if you want, instead. I have nothing specific to say, but u can go crazy w it!

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 100%

ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ!

・❥・ requested

Word Count: 575

Summary: mujin despises the narcotics team of inchang metropolitan police agency. but as he was about to "come clean" to the station, he meets the newly hired investigator and becomes smitten

Police, detectives and investigators are like leaches. They leach you out of information and wouldn't let you go until they have much information on you and your crime. That's what Mujin thinks of them. A leach to society, pretending to be good citizen and ordering peace among people; but once they have their backs turned on them, they too commit crimes and shamelessly ask the public for forgiveness.

Especially after Donghoon betrayed them? His hate for the so called officers came to a burning passion. Wanting nothing more but to take their assigned guns and use it against them to shoot them in the skull.

But even though he hated them, he needed to get on their good side. And that is why he found himself one morning at the front of Inchang Metropolitan Police Agency. Though he hated being here, he needed to. Or at least, needed to push Jiwoo and her buttons.

"Y/N, head over here to assist me. Choi Mujin is in the building for questioning."

Mujin stayed calm and laid back in his seat. The sight of them didn't scare him, what was so scary about people having guns? The boss of the biggest drug ring isn't scared. But the sight of you entering the questioning room felt like he caught a lump in his throat.

He had his eyes on you ever since you came in. In his mind, you looked like the type who didn't know how to properly hold and wield a gun, but looks can be deceiving. He learned that the hard way, but your innocent looks had him becoming hard under the table.

He wanted nothing more but to bark at everyone to leave you and him alone, bend you over the desk and spill out everything he would tell him while he drills into you from behind, pulling your hair back and watching you arching your back and screaming his name.

It would be such a sight to see, especially to your department. How the boss of the biggest drug ring do lewd things to their teammate. His eyes slowly fall down to your breasts and they stayed their for a long time, imagining how they soft and heavy they would feel against his rough and calloused hands. They looked like they are handful and maybe would overflow through his hands.

"What are you looking at?" The investigator slams his hand in front of him on top of the table, catching his attention. Unfortunately, Mujin had to avert his eyes from you to the investigator named Jeon Pildo. Yet, he didn't say anything, not giving in and giving out valuable information, only giving away very little but helpful answers that would clear his name.

He wanted nothing more but to take you away from this horrible place, snatch your name plate that pins on your right chest and make you his. With him, he can offer you the best protection rather than risk your life and reason to him that it is for the common good.

When it was over, he took one last lingering look on you before walking away from the building, but not before he sent a message to every men, which was a rare thing for him to do.

" Lay a hand on the new investigator and I will personally come after you "

Surely Mujin knows that it wouldn't be his last time seeing you. He'll make sure of that.

A post shared by 한소희 (@xeesoxee)

(Been a while since I’ve done one of these… speaks volumes in itself. Doing this on the app & there will be spoilers—consider yourself forewarned.)

Just saw Netflix’ My Name for the 2nd time today. To say I was enamored would be an understatement; moreover, a disservice. Come to think of it, let’s leave it as alexithymia.

The grit. The gore. The rawness. The complex & 3-dimensional characters brought to life by these actors. I can’t eloquently express it other than, pure chef’s kiss.

And So Hee. Han. So. Hee. Daebak. From standing up to her high school bullies, right down to the final standoff at Liber… and every single narrative in-between.

That scene by the door where she witnessed her father’s murder.

That lucid dream sequence by the sea with locked doors.

That inner battle with her conscience slowly tipping her over the edge of morality.

That mental breakdown of uncovering the lies upon lies she’d been fed with.

That subtle & fragile disposition interspersed with sheer fervor & grit.

I haven’t seen So Hee’s other works, I mean sure, Nevertheless—but I pretty much skipped to scenes involving Jiwan & Sol, so there’s that. As Yoon Jiwoo however, I am unequivocally hooked.

The way she’s managed to pull you in a rollercoaster of emotions.

Daebek.

Though let’s be honest here, it’d be downright unfair to fangirl over just Han So Hee.

The Director. The Ensemble. The cinematography. The music. The minute & low-key quirky tidbits interwoven in the storytelling.

Some might have felt rushed but considering it was less than an hour long, 8-episode series, the production team successfully fused just enough & purposely left out plot lines for the audience’s interpretation & imagination.

Reading between the lines. Subtle hints here & there. Makes for an interesting & interactive viewing experience.

The first episode pans into certificates, medals & trophies on display chronicling how physically adept Jiwoo is—foreshadowing her fighting prowess. As each & every episode unfolds though, we bare witness to how cunning & calculating she becomes.

—Need a diversion? Uses (literal & figurative) smoking gun. Icing on the cake? Leaves & plants said gun on the scene. Killing two birds with one stone.

—Gloves? Nope. Who needs them? Jiwoo clearly doesn’t. No fingerprints on the system? Check.

—Casually looks at lawyer’s business card. Uses number to call said lawyer a few minutes thereafter.

Sure, there was that “Um. What? No.” moment where, yes, she was caught on CCTV. But I think that in itself was driven by utter nonchalance, brazen disregard & resolute resignation.

And let’s not forget Park Hee Soon’s Choi Mujin.

While he had been the baddie, you can’t help but empathize with & root for the big shot crime boss at the start.

Though under false pretenses, he took Jiwoo under his wing when nobody else would have. Mentored & created his own perfect foot soldier.

He kept a picture of him & the person who betrayed him on his desk.

His unmistakable bond he shared with Jiwoo.

Layers & layers of complexity, which we’ve barely scratched the surface of.

And then there’s Ahn Bo Hyun’s Jeon Pildo.

Unpopular opinion, but I could really care less about the injected dose of romance—the camaraderie between him & Jiwoo would’ve sufficed and the storyline could’ve gone either way; can’t be helped, I guess.

Jang Yul. Lee Hak Ju. Kim Sang Ho. The rest of the cast all came to play under Director Kim Jin Min’s vision.

And that final scene was sweet liberation.

All throughout, Jiwoo had been trapped by her relentless desire for vengeance & Choi Mujin’s influence.

I think that 3rd urn symbolizes the death of that Yoon Jiwoo. And at the end, she finally managed to break free & start anew.

Best not sleep on My Name.

Review

Wow , the show Rocks !

Plot The first 15 minutes of My Name was solid. We see Jiwoo in a very miserable plight — she’s ostracized and bullied at school, constantly tailed by cops looking for her dad, with nobody to lean on but herself. It gets worse after she has witnessed her father’s horrific murder on her birthday, just a door away from the crime scene. Put all of these pieces in the first episode, and you now tugged the viewers’ attention. As the show goes forth, we see Jiwoo fearlessly clinging to all means there is to get justice, even if it involves joining a notorious drug cartel and embodying a whole new persona. She then successfully infiltrated the Inchang Metropolitan Police Agency’s Narcotics department, intending to unmask the identity of his father’s murderer. However, My Name soon fell into one huge cliché puddle. There were twists, but they felt underwhelming. Everything was moving so fast, but it didn’t really make the series more compelling. The romance between Jiwoo and Pildo, for instance, seemed to have bloomed out of nowhere. Episode by episode, there weren’t any notable scenes to tread that romantic lane. The build-up was scanty, leaving an impression that it was just an afterthought. Even the open-ended conclusion may leave you puzzled or tepid, to say the least. Extra two or three episodes would’ve helped improve the show overall. For an action-packed series like My Name, making it an eight-part series almost seems like a disservice because it has the potential to go for something more thought-provoking, storyline-wise. Whether a new season is in the works or not, the series is still good for your nightly K-drama binging. But in terms of replayability? Not really. Characters and Performance In an interview, So-hee reveals she wants to show a different side of her in My Name. The up-and-coming actress was successful in accomplishing that goal because she delivered an excellent performance. Jiwoo is a woman of few words, revenge-driven—but So-hee portrayed the pain and grief of her role marvelously. Not to mention, she also went through extensive training together with her co-actors. That nature of commitment is almost a rarity in the entertainment wonderland and merits praise. Given the show’s gritty and dark theme, Pildo (played by Ahn Bo-Hyun) could’ve given a tinge of delight or goofiness that My Name needs. He gave a good performance, but his character tended to be a little uninteresting in some scenes. The relationship dynamic between Pildo and Jiwoo would’ve been more thrilling to see if they weren’t too similar. Park Hee-Soon was also very remarkable. The fact that viewers can dislike and feel for him simultaneously proves how effective he is in portraying Choi Mu-jin’s calm yet ruthless demeanor. It’s a little difficult to imagine someone else filling in that kind of role without coming off too dull or monotonous. Cinematography and Visuals My Name lived true to its promise of delivering heart-pounding scenes. All fights were impeccable and well-choreographed, presenting viewers with an impressive variety of camera shots every time Jiwoo is on combat mode. One great display of camerawork was seen in episode one. The creative showcasing of how Jiwoo and her father were near yet so far from one another is simply exquisite. The use of warm colors fits the show’s bloody theme, too. All things considered, My Name wasn’t confusing nor congested with unnecessary flashiness. Conclusion It felt like My Name live up to its hype and the remarkable performances of the cast. After watching up to the last episode, really leave an impact. The show is still worth watching, but it also makes you wonder what could've been if the story was further explored.
