Release dates are the ones the apps show. A dash under Free means we haven't opened that drama's page yet. Our records for this month start on May 2, so earlier days may be missing. This month only has ReelShort dramas: our records for the other apps start later. We started counting in October 2026, so an older month shows the dramas still listed by the apps then, not everything released at the time.
