An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Short vertical drama content is engaging, but the coin mechanic is designed so that earned coins can be deducted without the user knowing, and marketing channel ads do not match the real in-app experience.

What people use it for

Fans of vertical short dramas who are comfortable with a paid model.

What reviews praise

The vertical format and melodramatic storylines hold attention in short sessions.

What reviews complain about

Coins are charged for previously watched episodes on re-access, which feels like a dishonest mechanic.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

They show you false ads to watch shorts for free then make you pay. I earned more coins watching ads on the app and they made me go back a bunch of episodes so i would have to use all my coins to get back to where i actually was in my short series.

Use to be good. They gave you lots of options on how to keep watching your verticals but now you can't even watch ads to continue watching. Also the AI verticals are horrible… I'm not going to watch an AI vertical especially if it's not free that's just crazy.
