Synopsis

The prince spent three months as her prisoner, and she was the one who had him tortured. Cinderella came by that position by accident. She passed out drunk and woke in the body of a princess of a kingdom that was already falling. The rebels finished it off, and the man leading them was the prince from the cells. She set out to keep her head down and stay alive. He married her instead, made her queen, and gave his attention to no one else.

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.
