Synopsis

Martin Byron, betrayed by his brother Max and his fiancée, was disowned and exiled to his late mother's dilapidated courtyard. There, he found a water jar linked to 1980 and Erica Lucas. Trading future intel and scarce supplies for Erica's hoard of vintage treasures, Martin built a swift fortune. As Max teamed up with Alan Donne to plot against him, Martin leveraged his foresight, preparation, and the backing from Rusk Group's Rita Rusk, to turn their schemes against them. In the end, the villains choked on their own bitter fruit.

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 >_<

You Are My Antidote

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.
