Underdog Rise Short Dramas

Ninety-three series about someone starting with nothing. Notably shorter than the revenge slate it overlaps with — median 42 episodes against 44 — which fits: a rise needs momentum, not a long ledger of grievances. Around $25 to finish at the top of the reported rate.

How this page was built

Editorial policy

The 170 series on this page carry Underdog Rise as a trope label in the catalogue of the platform that publishes them. We do not tag series ourselves, which means this page is exactly as complete, and as inconsistent, as the platforms' own labelling. Episode counts and runtimes are read from each platform's listing for that specific series; coin prices come from the in-app purchase tiers Apple publishes for each app. We hold complete pricing for all 170. Nothing on this page is a paid placement, and we do not rank by anything we were given for free.
