My bestie betrayed me review: at 34 episodes, Candy's longest series

Updated 28 Sep 2026

Quick facts

How the story opens

On the surface, Emma has the perfect life, until a single night wrecks it: she discovers her best friend and her boyfriend together. Candy’s synopsis then piles on the fallout, from a rebound nobody knows about and a positive test to a school where lies are everywhere. The heartbreak becomes a war, and by its end Emma is untouchable.

Paced like a soap opera

In the catalogue, no other series comes near 34 episodes; the closest in length stops at 15. That makes it a different kind of purchase. Where the usual Candy Shorts title gives one scenario five episodes, this one plays out like a soap, stretching betrayal, secrets and revenge over a long arc. The synopsis reads less like a one-night fantasy than a pitch for a whole season of TV drama.

What the premise gets right

The setup has plenty to run on. A best friend’s betrayal is as strong a motive as they come; the secret rebound and the positive test supply complications that can hold up over a long run; and the revenge angle means the plot is heading somewhere. Emma also wants something of her own, and in a catalogue whose leads mostly just react, that alone makes her a real protagonist.

What it takes to finish

The problem is the price, plus the commitment behind it. Each of the 32 locked episodes costs 12 tokens, so the full series runs to 384 tokens, roughly $15.36 at the yearly rate, $34.56 at the quarterly rate or $53.76 paying month to month. Since a plan gives you 100 tokens a month, that adds up to nearly four months’ worth. Two free episodes, meanwhile, are a thin slice of 34 episodes: they lay out the premise but can’t show whether the long middle keeps its grip.

It also puts the drama first. Taboo is the single tag Candy lists, and it has no rating on our explicitness scale yet, so anyone mostly after intensity will find that a five-parter delivers it sooner, on fewer tokens.

Who should sign on

• Sign on if you like a betrayal-and-revenge story that unfolds slowly and don’t mind paying for it across several months.
• Sit it out if you want a short, standalone story, or an explicitness rating before you commit.

How the other long series compare

Interested in the premise, less so in the length? The 15-episode titles split the difference: Caught Between Sisters and Mona’s Worst Enemy both cost 156 tokens, and Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right needs 144 tokens. Go shorter again and Your girlfriend’s younger sister costs 96 tokens for 10 episodes. Everything else in the catalogue is on our episode list.

The bottom line

Of everything on Candy AI Shorts, My bestie betrayed me has the biggest ambitions: a whole revenge drama where other titles settle for a quick scenario. The premise justifies the length, but 384 tokens is a big commitment. Start by watching the two free episodes, then decide whether to stay with Emma’s war until the end.
