Actor Go Joo-won has returned with the short-form drama ‘DADDY-Save Mom!’. He transforms into a cold-hearted chaebol and launches a ‘pure-love revenge’ opposite Son Dam-bi.
The new short-form drama ‘DADDY - Save Mom!’ starring Go Joo-won will be released worldwide simultaneously on the 13th via the short-form drama platform ‘ReelShort(ReelShort)’ app.
‘DADDY - Save Mom!’ is a romantic melodrama about family in which ‘Joy’, the hidden daughter of a chaebol family, sets out to find her father and, amid crossed misunderstandings and plots, uncovers the truth about the family and regains true love. It signals the fast pacing and highly immersive storytelling typical of short-form dramas that have recently become a trend, raising expectations.
In the drama, Go Joo-won plays the male lead ‘Mu-hyeok’, who hides deep scars behind a calm, cold exterior. In the past, while living under a false identity as a poor college student, he falls into a passionate love with the female lead ‘Hye-rin’, played by actor and singer Son Dam-bi. However, after a sudden, one-sided breakup, he closes his heart.
Go Joo-won is set to portray Mu-hyeok, a hardened romantic who may appear ruthless on the surface but still harbors tender feelings for Hye-rin deep inside, with nuanced emotional acting. Known for deep charisma beneath a gentle image and for remarkable chemistry with actresses, he is drawing strong attention from viewers for this project as well.
The drama begins with the revelation of a shocking secret about Hye-rin. She had given birth to her daughter Joy in prison after being falsely accused and had been raising her in secret. To save her mother, Joy bravely sets out to find her father, and once the chaebol father (Go Joo-won) learns of his child and his former lover, a fierce revenge tale unfolds in which he takes down the powerful villains behind it all.
An official from The Harry Media said, “This project compresses a tension-filled revenge tale, a heartrending romance, and family love into the stylish short-form format. Despite the brief running time, Go Joo-won’s weighty acting and singular presence will maximize immersion,” conveying anticipation.
Promising intense chemistry between Go Joo-won and Son Dam-bi and a cathartic, refreshing revenge narrative, ‘DADDY - Save Mom!’ will be available on the ReelShort app on the 13th.
