🎙️ In this episode, we spoke with Sarah from “Escapism Via Verticals,” a Philippines-based reviewer and vertical drama fan, about how social media ads pulled her into the world of short dramas — and eventually inspired her to start writing one herself.
We also discussed fan communities, thriller vs romance trends, female-led storytelling, AI motion comics, and why vertical dramas have become a form of emotional escapism for global audiences.
If you want to understand short drama from a viewer and fan community perspective — this is an episode worth listening to.
