The Countdown

Synopsis

Rising tech star Adrian livestreams an armed bank robbery, then begs police to jail him—refusing settlement despite minimal losses. His fiancée, mentor, and elderly parents plead, but he insists on prison. A detective's deeper probe reveals the absurd act hid an unspeakable hardship and a life-or-death rescue timed to the second.

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.
