Good one time watch if you're looking for suspense thriller.

I was going through a drama slump. There was nothing thrilling to watch, and I really wanted to watch a thriller & that's when I decided to watch 'My name'.
Truth be told, I wanted to rate it a 10/10, but the climax hit me. It kept me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, upto episode 6 . But then the last two episodes came along ? Episodes 7 and 8. They have too many loop holes and weird trajectories, that changed my opinion regarding the story.

Upto Episode 6 it was just wonderful, pretty much awesome . Things were interesting.
Episode 6 onwards, ...
Why? why did she kill Taeju, and then destroyed the evidence simultaneously. Their actions made no sense. Once it was clear to her, whose her father's killer, if she was so desperate that nothing mattered to her, she had many chances to get back at him.
The last episode romance trajectory between her and Pil do, didnt make much sense. Never throughout the series did it ever felt like she had any kind of attraction towards her sunbae. Then why choose this plotline, only of he's gonna get killed in next 15 mins.
Another weird plotline : when Mu Jin was clear that he wanted to kill the girl, and left to get revenge from her, why why on earth did he kill Pil do & left her unharmed like that. He could've killed either only her or both of them right there. Honestly the last episode didnt make much sense & I just dont get it : if the captain survived, why on earth did Pil do had to die.

Enough about the negatives, now coming to the positives in the story :
Honestly speaking, from episodes 1 to 6 the drama is a gem. Right from the 1st episode the way fl is introduced, her dad's story it was really interesting to watch. Initial couple of episodes were fast paced and interesting. The plot handled really well and the story felt like a beautiful tapestry.

All in all its a good watch.
An action packed thriller.
A short drama, perfect for binge watching.
