I Hired His Rival

Synopsis

Grayson and his friends made a bet: he would make Avery fall in love with him, then humiliate her. Avery finds out about it. She hires Roman, Grayson's old rival, to act as her boyfriend, and uses the fake relationship to get back at Grayson. The staged kisses stop being staged. Roman begins to care about her past what the arrangement covers, and Grayson works out that his own feelings are no longer part of a game. Avery has to decide what love is with no audience, no contract and no prize.

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.
