“It keeps you from taking your eyes off it despite the short running time.”

The new short-form drama ‘DADDY - Please Save Mom!’, starring Go Joo-won, will be released simultaneously worldwide at 12:00 a.m. on the 13th via the short-form drama platform ‘ReelShort(ReelShort)’ app.

‘DADDY - Please Save Mom!’ is a romance melodrama about ‘Joy’, the hidden daughter of a chaebol family, who sets out to find her father and, amid crossed misunderstandings and conspiracies, uncovers the truth about her family and wins back true love. It promises the rapid development and highly immersive storytelling typical of short-form dramas, a rising trend, and is heightening expectations.

In the story, Go Joo-won plays the male lead, ‘Mu-hyeok’, who hides deep wounds behind a cool, cold exterior. In the past, while living under a false identity as a poor college student, he falls into a passionate love with the heroine ‘Hye-rin’, played by actor-singer Son Dam-bi. However, after a sudden one-sided breakup, he closes off his heart.

Go Joo-won is set to portray Mu-hyeok, a relentless romantic who may appear ruthless on the surface yet still carries tender feelings for Hye-rin deep down, through nuanced emotional acting. With a gentle image coupled with deep charisma and a reputation for exceptional on-screen chemistry with leading actresses, this project is likewise drawing strong attention from viewers.

The drama begins when a shocking secret about Hye-rin comes to light. It turns out that Hye-rin gave birth to her daughter Joy in prison while falsely accused and was secretly raising her. To save her mother, Joy musters the courage to seek out her father, and once the chaebol father (Go Joo-won) learns of his child and former lover, a fierce revenge saga unfolds in which he takes down the powerful villains pulling the strings.

A representative from The Harry Media said, “This project compresses a tension-filled revenge drama, heart-wrenching romance, and family love into the stylish short-form format. Despite the short running time, Go Joo-won delivers weighty acting and a singular presence that will maximize immersion,” expressing anticipation.

Meanwhile, ‘DADDY - Please Save Mom!’, which teases the intense chemistry between Go Joo-won and Son Dam-bi and a cathartic, satisfying revenge arc, will be available on the ReelShort app at 12:00 a.m. on the 13th.
