After a childhood disappearance and a humble upbringing, Harper Foster returns to society following her grandfather's death—not only to reclaim his stolen legacy but also to uncover the truth about her biological parents. Disguising herself as unattractive to avoid alerting her enemy, she accepts an invitation to stay with the Hawthorne family. Mocked and underestimated, Harper repeatedly reveals her hidden identities, catching the attention of the three Hawthorne brothers. In the end, she reclaims her inheritance, finds her real family, and finds love with one of the Hawthorne heirs.

You Are My Antidote

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.
