''My Name'' is an action thriller KoreanDrama created by Creator/{{Netflix}} that premiered on October 15, 2021.

Yoon Ji-woo (Han So-hee) vows revenge on her father's murderer. Desperate and alone, she seeks help from Dongcheon crime boss Choi Mu-jin (Park Hee-soon), one of her father's closest confidants and his best friend. Choi Mu-jin trains Ji-woo and teaches her through ToughLove how to fight hand-to-hand, how to survive, and encourages her to prove herself to the other gang members. After a dangerous confrontation with two other initiates, Mu-jin asks Ji-woo to take on a fake identity for her protection — and for her to infiltrate the police force as Dongcheon's mole.

Five years later, Ji-woo — under the name Oh Hye-jin — has been transferred to the Narcotics Department and directly onto the team overseeing the case against Dongcheon. There, Ji-woo meets her reluctant new partner, Sargeant Jeon Pil-do (Ahn Bo-hyun), and Chief Cha Gi-ho (Kim Sang-ho), both of whom have grudges against Choi Mu-jin and his drug empire. Ji-woo now has to face the challenge of juggling her roles as cop and mole all while treading an impending gang war between Choi Mu-jin and Do Gang-jae (Chang Ryul), a new drug dealer with an old grudge against Ji-woo.
