Limited Run

Complete | Eeej | 2019 released

storyline: yeon-oh is a rookie actor who has to provide for his family as his dad is a serial gambler and keeps getting them in trouble with loan sharks. jae-hyuk is a rich man who decides to sponsor him, but has his own agenda that involves yeon-ho’s cooperation. too bad yeon-ho’s heart doesn’t follow the “no strings attached” rule. review: great angst, 7/10 redemption arc from jae-hyuk (although it seemed to be spawned a bit from nowhere), but the ending was too abrupt and unsatisfying. such a long story should’ve had a more appropriate conclusion imo.
