Uncommon card · No. 90292

Duanju (simplified Chinese: 短剧; traditional Chinese: 短劇; pinyin: duǎn jù), sometimes translated in English as microdrama, short drama, vertical drama, vertical minidrama, vertical series or mobile drama, is a type of short form web or television series that originated in China. The series typically feature 1–2 minute episodes. A series may include 20 to 100 episodes, resulting in a total runtime comparable in some cases to that of one or two feature films. Produced specifically for smartphone viewing, many are shot in vertical format and optimized for fragmented, bite-sized consumption on platforms such as Douyin. Some titles are further adapted into interactive film-style mobile games. Duanju is characterized by fast-paced plots and heightened melodrama, with common themes including revenge, organized crime, wealth and status, and romantic relationships.
