They dramatize messages into fantasy chains to create effective, fun, entertaining communication and build relationships between users. The author applied a descriptive approach and a conversational analysis method with fantasy theme analysis techniques. User comments are narratives that explain the dramatic message conveyed by the user. The research object is three video replications on TikTok.
