Synopsis

The grievance Zale Cole carries into his second life is his own doing. He had the talent for football and wasted it, and the life that followed came to nothing. He wakes at sixteen, sitting on the substitutes' bench of his team, and a system activates in him. It gives him other players' technique, the outside-of-the-foot pass Modrić hits, Ronaldo's dribbling and finishing. Football in Valerius gets talked down, and the people who do it are who Zale has in mind while he works his way up off the bench.

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 >_<

You Are My Antidote

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.
