My Name (2021) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is moderate. One scene in a brothel depicts implied sexual activity with a woman riding a man, though no explicit nudity is shown. There is a scene where a man and woman begin to undress, showing partially covered breasts, and another where they are in bed together under sheets. A rape attempt is made but interrupted.

Violence is severe and graphic, practically constant throughout every episode. It features detailed stabbings, shootings, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and torture, often resulting in heavy blood spray and visible wounds. Characters endure severe beatings, and there are multiple on-screen deaths. Ji-woo herself engages in numerous violent confrontations.

Strong language is consistently used throughout the series. Profanity includes frequent uses of 'fuck,' 'shit,' 'asshole,' and occasional uses of 'bitch' and 'cunt' in both English subtitles and implied Korean equivalents, especially during tense or violent confrontations.

Alcohol consumption is frequent, with characters seen drinking socially and in distress. There is a strong plotline involving a drug ring and drug production, though direct drug use by main characters is not extensively depicted. Characters are often seen smoking cigarettes.

The central theme is revenge, as Ji-woo dedicates her life to finding her father's killer, leading to significant moral ambiguity and psychological distress. Themes of betrayal, identity crisis (as Ji-woo lives under a false persona), loyalty within criminal organizations, and the corrupting nature of violence are deeply explored. Grief and trauma are underlying emotions driving many characters' actions.
