DramaBox - Filmes e Dramas +12

Of all of the short drama, real drama shorts and minor movie apps this one hands-down wins like the other app I reviewed real short I would strongly recommend the $200 option for a yearly subscription. This one is more reasonable on the price per minute for lack of a better description and reward system is not really worth dealing with and just go get the $200 option if you like this I have a tendency to watch the hidden identity and supernatural martial art style dramas as well as the ones that were similar to American daytime television during the 90s this one was very upfront about the subscription options versus the pay a few minutes of questionable writing. I used to work for one of the studios that did this type of daytime production New York so I was not on the production team. I did have significant access and very much enjoyed these as a distraction. I have taken a liking to the Chinese version which I find quite enjoyable, most of the content on here is import. There is some English and some questionable quality dubs all fun to listen to and to some extent this one does better transitions between scenes and less repetitive with the screen transitions. you’ll notice most of the other apps make you rewatch almost 20 seconds of material every few minutes that is just evil

Really like the short episodes with the vertical format. I think this is a great way of showing little stories that doesn’t require a ton of like production and what not. The acting isn’t like what you’d see on like well known tv and things but it has its own charm that’s really nice.

That being said I think getting currency for free should be improved a little. I understand that making users watch ads to continue watching these mini stories is incentive to purchase the coins and i have no issue with that. But the problem is that when doing the things to receive free coins it is simply not enough. If you decided to watch 15 ads to get coins you’d only be rewarded with 30 coins which is enough for 6 episodes when most series have over 30 episodes. This doesn’t include how much time you’d spend to watch 15 ads. Because not only are the ads 30+ seconds long but you have 20 second wait times between each time you watch the ads. It takes too long and you get very little in return. I’m not saying just give out coins for free but making them a little easier and convenient acquire would be great.

Update: so there was an update and every video was five coins and five minutes was one coin 10 minutes was two coins 15 minutes 20 coins. It was pretty good today. I don’t know if it’s cause it’s April fools Day and this is just a fools joke, but they added a zeros to the back of everything and I’m just not a fan. I liked the low value understanding not having to do complicated math in order to know how many episodes I was gonna get. I liked that every episode was five coins. Now it’s 50 why we needed to add in a zero I have no idea.

I like the stories on this app as far as ad per play value they had really gone up in status. This was my go to app for dramas. I recommend it to anyone who likes to watch these dramas. I just hope they go back to the five and not the 50 cause then it feels like a lot and it’s stressful. I also wish that it was $10 a month and not $80.
-original-I’ve watched 10 ads so far today and you can’t exit out of the ad so therefore you can’t watch the next episode. $20 a week is really expensive. I honestly might subscribe if it was like $20 a month. The stories are good the acting is pretty decent, but I can watch IQIYA and get full 45 minute episodes for like $10 a month. Granted the stories are obviously a little more full and the drama is less but I’m writing this review hoping somebody will fix this ad error so I can finish the story that I’m already watching.
