Synopsis

Lily, a physician from a fallen noble family, is forced to marry Dominic, the fearsome "Bloodthirsty Duke" of the North, as a substitute bride. On their wedding night, he gives her the "Heart-Devouring Elixir"—a deadly wager: if she falls in love within thirty days, she dies. Yet Dominic never relinquishes his physical possessiveness over her. Deep in the ancient castle, amid mutual wariness and testing, a tug-of-war between desire and emotional restraint unfolds.

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.
