Synopsis

Ten years ago, my quiet dad ran a tiny pool hall. Before that, he was Southvale’s legend—the Cue King. He hung up the cue to protect what mattered. Now slick relatives bait his kid into a rigged hustle, debts stack, and impossible racks keep showing up. Dad plays dumb until the last second—then the break hits different. Lines get crossed, secrets slip, and the table stops breathing. Who really set the trap?

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.
