Synopsis

Adrian ends up in a world where fighting strength decides everything, and what he wants is standing in it. The talent that would have given him that went to other people. He is middle-aged by then, worn down, carrying injuries that never healed properly. Then a system wakes up inside him. It repairs the old injuries and gives him force enough to break through what is in front of him. "Life has its ups and downs," he says. "Never look down on a man of humble birth." He starts on the martial path from where he is.

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.
