About
ShortDiziLab is a Turkish-audience discovery platform for short-format vertical dramas — compact, binge-friendly stories curated for Turkish viewers, available also in English and Romanian. No subscription, no payment, no signup.
What ShortDiziLab is
ShortDiziLab catalogues vertical-format short dramas — 60 to 120-second episodes in 9:16 portrait orientation, with each complete series running 30 to 80 episodes. Across romance, mystery, action, romantic comedy, hidden-identity, CEO romance, and male-led action arcs, the catalog spans approximately 46,000 episodes and hundreds of distinct series. A single completed short drama takes 90 minutes to 3 hours to finish — designed for evening binge sessions rather than feature-film-length sittings.
Three languages, three independent catalogues
The site operates in three locales — Turkish (primary), English, and Romanian. Critically: these three locales are NOT translations of each other. Each locale carries its own independently-curated series set selected for that specific audience. A series available in the Turkish catalog does not automatically have an English equivalent; each language operates its own collection.
Editorial approach and process
The catalog is updated weekly by the ShortDiziLab editorial team. Our discovery cycle checks current titles each week from major source platforms (ReelShort, ShortTV, DramaBox, etc.); series that pass technical filters and align with our audience's interests are added to the catalog. The shelf-promotion decision considers three criteria: (1) is the series complete (we don't list ongoing serials), (2) is the video quality at 1080p HD, (3) does the content fit a general-audience category.
Editorial standards
Content types we don't publish: pornographic material, content depicting child abuse, recordings of real violence, and titles with substantiated rights claims against them. When we receive content-removal requests from legitimate rightsholders, we de-list the title within 24-48 hours. If you spot a technical issue, translation error, or editorial misjudgment on any episode, reach us through the contact page — fixes typically ship within 24-48 hours.
Advertising model and the free tier
ShortDiziLab is completely free — no subscription, no signup, no card on file. Advertising is our sole revenue model and we work to keep it balanced: no pop-ups, no auto-playing audio, no full-screen interstitials that block playback. Sidebar banners and between-episode banners are the only formats in use.
Operations and legal entity
ShortDiziLab is operated by a legal entity registered in the Republic of Moldova. Because we're not US-based, we don't operate under formal DMCA procedures — instead under Moldovan law and our voluntary rapid-response policy. In practice, rightsholder requests are answered within the same 24-48 hour window. See the Privacy Policy for data-handling details and the Terms of Use for the user agreement.
