Micro Drama Weekly Ranking (Dec 15–21, 2025):

Animated micro dramas also saw limited activity, with 160+ titles in circulation, representing about 1.33% of all active content. Among last week’s charting titles, familiar werewolf-themed dramas continued to perform strongly, while several Christmas specials also entered the rankings. Join us as we break down the top-performing titles and key content trends of the week.

The Last Howling: The Alpha King’s Revenge

Last week's top 3 micro dramas were The Last Howling: The Alpha King’s Revenge. The drama mainly revolves around the plot of the previous wolf king rising again to protect his daughter. It is a typical male-oriented drama with the theme of "pretending to be weak while actually being strong".

Let’s break down one of the top-performing creatives from this drama. The storyline follows a classic arc: in the early stages, the villain repeatedly bullies the male lead’s daughter, while in the later stages, the male lead returns as the Wolf King to take revenge. The creative achieved explosive traction. Within just three days of launch, its estimated impressions exceeded 110K, showing that audiences strongly resonate with this type of plot design.

The story opens with the villain publicly bullying the male lead’s daughter because her father is a powerless house painter, instantly triggering audience outrage. In the middle, the male lead is consistently looked down upon, while his daughter suppresses her resistance out of fear of retaliation. As the villain’s cruelty escalates, the truth is finally revealed, pushing the male lead to reclaim his Wolf King powers and unleash a decisive revenge, ultimately rescuing his daughter.

The Billionaire Dad I Never Knew

This micro drama is a classic Christmas-set “chasing-after-her-too-late” story. It weaves in a variety of Christmas-themed elements throughout the narrative. Ironically, in most scenes that highlight the idea of Christmas reunions, the male lead is shown not with his family, but with his so-called “white moonlight” — his first love. Given that setup, it’s hardly surprising that he ultimately ends up losing his wife and family.

This creative uses the classic "chasing after a woman" micro drama format and achieved an estimated impression of $1,426 in just 3 days. It opens with the male lead’s remorse shown in reverse chronological order, then reveals his past misdeeds, and concludes by echoing the opening. At the start, he holds a doll as a gift, hoping to reconcile with his daughter, only to find his wife and daughter already gone, sparking audience curiosity. The middle shows why: he pretended to be poor, made his family suffer, and indulged with the second female lead, even forbidding his daughter from calling him "Dad" in public. By the end, he realizes his family is gone and tries to make amends, but it’s too late.

That wraps up this week’s rankings. There are plenty of other trending new dramas on the list worth checking out. For more mobile marketing data, please visit www.socialpeta.com.
