Synopsis

Betrayed by his ex-wife, stripped of everything he owned, and left with a daughter dying of leukemia—Liam Blackwood has hit rock bottom. But just when all hope seems lost, an ancient drake pendant awakens the power within him. Rising from the ashes as the Drake Heir, he heals the incurable with a single touch, and shatters bones with a single step. Now, armed with divine medical skill, unmatched martial prowess, and a burning thirst for vengeance, Liam returns to Everett City—not to beg, but to bury.

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.
