Synopsis

Ever since their parents married, Becca has hated her stepbrother, Samir. For two years, she's blamed him for stealing her family, her home, and the life she lost. But when a brutal heatwave knocks out the AC, they’re trapped alone in a house that’s far too hot—and far too small. As Samir struggles to fix the broken air conditioner, lingering resentment gives way to lingering touches. The line between hate and desire begins to disappear, and Becca must face the one truth. She's spent years denying that the man she's forbidden to want may be the only one she can't resist.

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.
