Once Was Love, Now I Choose Me

Synopsis

Seven years ago, Dahlia Godfrey, daughter of the divine realm's ruler, fell for the ill-fated Perez Carver and became his wife. She stood by him, cared for his family, and used a sacred spell to give him her fortune, helping him rise as a general. But after his victory, he abandoned her for a princess. After shedding Hearttears three times, Dahlia breaks the spell and returns to the heavens—heartbroken, but free.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<

My favorite of his modern-set work and honestly my favorite short drama full stop. You get the complete unhinged-psycho performance, and I'd say his acting leveled up here. If you're working through his filmography, this is the one.

The plot is hard to follow and never really comes together. With all the flashbacks and dream sequences, the pacing has no tension at all…
