Yale's younger brother steals the coveted SSS-class mech core, believing it will make him humanity's savior, unaware it's actually bait for disaster. Seeing through the trap, Yale chooses the ridiculed F-class "junk" core and is exiled to a frontier star system. Teaming up with three fellow outcasts, he unlocks its hidden power and builds the galaxy's strongest mech squad. When the false hero falls, Yale becomes humanity's only hope.

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.
