౨ৎ Favourite Vertical Series ౨ৎ
I'm really picky about verticals, and hope that this list helps those who are starting to watch short-form series for the first time! Most series tend to have multiple genres in one drama (e.g. fantasy combined with rebirth and revenge, etc.) which can make it hard to choose quality scripts or performances.
In general, I tend to like:
- Decent cinematography and subtitles
- Strong chemistry between pairings
- Trope subversions or interesting characterizations
- Strong physical intimacy/kiss scenes
- Preference for romance scenes over plot
I also really love red flag characters and villains, so I would recommend still checking out the reviews for those who are a bit wary of these characterizations!
