  • RJOY is bringing bite-sized dramas to Malaysia and Indonesia.
  • Big deals signed with Sooka and the IDN App.
  • Why vertical TV is the new visual aesthetic we love.

We just saw some news that is going to change your morning commute forever. If you love quick stories, listen up. The microdrama app RJOY is officially heading to Malaysia and Indonesia. They just signed some huge deals at the APOS event in Bali this week. This is a big win for everyone who loves watching TV on their phone.

RJOY is teaming up with Astro’s Sooka platform and the IDN App. This means more content is coming right to your pocket. Fast. Short. Fun. It’s the kind of news that makes us think about how much things are changing. Even icons like Jay Leno think late night TV is dying because of new trends like this.

The vibe of these microdramas is totally unique. We love the visual style they use. Think bright neon colors and fast, snappy editing. It feels like a high-budget TikTok. Since the shows are vertical, they fit perfectly in one hand. It’s a whole new aesthetic for a generation that doesn’t have time for hour-long episodes.

Everything is moving so quickly in the streaming world. It reminds us of how Jamie Bell still has those lightning-fast moves from his dancing days. RJOY is moving just as fast to capture our attention. Even stars like Jelly Roll are using apps like TikTok to talk to fans, so vertical video is clearly where the party is at right now.

Our Take

We think this is awesome. Sometimes you don’t want a long movie. You just want a three-minute story while you wait for the bus. It’s like snackable art. The colors pop and the stories get straight to the point. We are excited to see what kind of wild, short dramas come out of these new deals next.
