Grief curdles into infiltration in this South Korean action-thriller series, where a young woman burns down her old life to chase one question: what really happened to her father.
What is My Name about?
After her father is killed, a grieving young woman makes a choice that pulls her into the orbit of an organized crime ring. To dig further, she agrees to go undercover inside the police department itself, trading one dangerous identity for another. The show follows her as she learns to move between both worlds without letting either one see the seams, gathering pieces of a case that keeps circling back to the people closest to her. Directed by Kim Jin-min, the series builds its momentum through close-quarters, physically demanding set pieces rather than courtroom talk or slow-burn procedure, and it uses that intensity to keep raising the stakes of a hunt for the truth behind one man's death.
About the cast
Han So-hee leads the ensemble in a role built around sustained physical performance, working alongside Park Hee-soon, Ahn Bo-hyun, Kim Sang-ho, Lee Hak-joo and Chang Ryul across a cast split between the criminal underworld and the police force the story moves through.
Context & significance
The series arrived as part of a broader run of South Korean action and crime dramas that lean into stunt-driven choreography rather than dialogue-heavy investigation, and it stands out within that group for centering a woman's undercover arc rather than treating her as a secondary figure inside someone else's revenge plot. Its 2021 release put it alongside a wave of Korean genre television that found a large audience well beyond its home market, part of the reason titles like this one keep surfacing in conversations about the strongest crime series to come out of the region in recent years.
