Chinese Short Dramas in English
The vertical short drama is a Chinese format, and most of what you find in English is that format subtitled or dubbed. These are not. Every series here was made in English, and the ones on this page carry Chinese settings, characters or story traditions — dynasty courts, wuxia, a Chongqing childhood, a family business in Shanghai.
These are Chinese-set short dramas recorded in original English, not translations. The format — vertical, one to three minute episodes, dozens to a season — came out of China, and this collection is the part of our catalogue that keeps its settings and story traditions. The audio is English throughout, so there is nothing to read.
