Netflix Confirms 15 October Release Date for MY NAME Starring Han So-hee

Netflix has revealed the 15 October release date for Korean series My Name alongside the release of a teaser poster. Starring Han So-hee in the lead role, My Name is about a revenge-driven woman who joins a crime ring and becomes an undercover police officer in order to find her father’s killer.

The teaser poster reveals a gripping copy that reads: “No one can know. My enemy, my revenge.” It is accompanied by the haunting image of Han So-hee, in a role of which viewers have never seen her in before. Her portrayal of Jiwoo in My Name marks a 180-degree turn from her other well-known characters as Yeo Da-gyeong in The World of the Married and Yu Na-bi in Nevertheless.

In the poster, she is standing in a dark alleyway with deep scratches on her face and a gleaming dagger in her blood-stained hand, looking as if she had just survived fierce combat. Han So-hee, who performed the difficult action scenes herself, is convincing as Jiwoo, a woman who willingly enters a criminal underworld to avenge her father’s murder and becomes a mole in the police force using an alias. She’ll stop at nothing for revenge and comes face-to-face with brutal truths.

Director Kim Jin-min has previously teamed up with Netflix for his much-acclaimed series Extracurricular, an unconventional story about the darker side of high school teens. With his keen instinct for suspense, Director Kim weaves a rich and dramatic storyline with Jiwoo and the other fascinating characters played by Park Hee-soon and Ahn Bo-hyun. My Name promises to be a gratifying action noir film with a tightly woven plot and thrilling suspense.

My Name will be released in over 190 countries around the world on 15 October, only on Netflix.
