Synopsis

Nora, dying of cancer at 28, wakes up in 1996 as healthy 18-year-old Scarlett. She plots revenge against her mother Valerie, who refused bone marrow. But she discovers Valerie isn't cold—she's a traumatized teen hiding pregnancy from a rape by Austin, Nora's own father. Nora learns her mother secretly loved her but couldn't save her. After Nora dies stopping Austin permanently, Valerie keeps her letter, goes to Harvard, and raises a new Nora in love, not pain.

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.
