This is a tragic story about Stella, a young girl whose mother uses a high-tech "honesty necklace" to punish her for supposed lies—glowing red and delivering electric shocks. Despite enduring immense pain, Stella is never believed, while her twin sister, whose necklace is permanently green, is always trusted. After Stella dies from a untreated medical emergency, the truth is revealed: the necklace never detected lies—only fear and pain. Her mother's blind faith in pseudoscience leads to irreversible tragedy, guilt, and the destruction of her family.

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.
