The close-up camerawork of a short vertical drama builds up layers of contradictions between “guilt” and “expectation,” creating a lingering impact comparable to a
feature-length film, even at just under a minute. Refusing to simplify good and evil, the acting, which draws the audience into the action as if they were involved, brings a fresh sense of realism suited to the viewing experience of the social media era.
