The end of the year means there's a lot to do and not enough time to do it all. But that does not mean you have to deprive yourself of delicious drama fun. It's easy to indulge in a marathon or two in with the latest mini dramas.
Since the episodes are only about 10 minutes long, you can fit a few into an hour. And there's at least an hour for drama even in the busiest days.
It's as delicious as eating a scrumptious dessert without worrying about the calories.
So, why not enjoy these guilt-free treats at lunch time, on the check-out line or over a holiday latte.
According to Tim Lee at the international content provider DramaFever, mini dramas have nearly double the completion rate of longer dramas, because they are so short and bingeable.
Here are a few of the latest binge-worthy mini-dramas you might enjoy.
"Love Cells 2"
