Synopsis

Mila Parker has spent three years as Adrian Nolan's stand-in for another woman. She looks almost exactly like Vivian Blair, the woman Adrian loves, and he keeps her only as a substitute for Vivian. He humiliates her and calls her his lapdog. What none of them knows, Mila included, is that she is Vivian's younger sister, lost to the family years ago. Vivian, who has money, is furious when she learns how her sister has been treated, and sets out to get justice for Mila. With her sister looking after her, Mila puts her life back together, climbs to the top, and finds a love of her own.

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…
