Viral structure
Why did it binge? Now you know—and can remix.
Most tools jump straight to generation. DramaSo starts by breaking down the dialogue of a viral short drama: when the hook lands, where conflict and twists hit. You get a beat sheet and remix paths you can write from, not a vague summary.
Audio-first workflow
Hear the hook before you pay for pixels
Validate viral pacing cheaply: text → playable dialogue → dialogue + storyboard stills → full vertical video. Spend more only when the episode sounds like a hit.
