VERTICAL or SHORT-LENGTH Shows ? Well, maybe.
To be honest, I'm still not 100% convinced by the quality of these micro-dramas/mini-movies but I'm willing to stay open-minded and to give it a try from time to time.
The titles below are ranked from BEST (on top) to WORST (below).
Note: at the very bottom are the shows I haven't watched, and thus not rated, yet.
