AI-generated micro-dramas starring anthropomorphic fruits, vegetables and other unlikely protagonists are captivating audiences of short videos in China with their bizarre charm and unapologetically over-the-top storytelling.
Packed with dramatic twists — from betrayal and infidelity to revenge and redemption — the bite-sized series play out like soap operas with produce in the starring roles. In one viral storyline, a devoted durian heroine is betrayed in love and sets out on a path of revenge.
Many viewers watch with equal parts amusement and disbelief, mocking the absurd plots while eagerly waiting for the next twist. Comment sections are often filled with playful outrage over fictional betrayals and calls for faster updates.
The craze has even sparked a new wave of parody, with some creators filming live-action skits in which humans imitate AI-generated characters.
