Why it scores 72 difficulty
DramaBox - Stream Drama Shorts holds the top spot with 872,795 ratings behind it. 6 of the ten carry over 100,000 ratings each, which is what makes this difficult: rating count is the slowest thing to change about a competitor, and it is most of what holds them there. The top three hold 60% of the page's ratings. 8 of the ten put the phrase in their app name. On this term the name does the work, and a listing that leaves it out is not really competing for it.

How to rank for “short drama”: no top app leads with it

At 11 characters it fits an app name with 19 to spare, yet the 4 names in the top ten that use it are much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.

Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“short”, “drama”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.

None of the ten opens its name with it — the 4 that spell it out put it later in the name.

Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “short drama & mini tv series” scores 31 on opportunity against this term's 16, at difficulty 20 rather than 72. 7 of the 9 related terms score higher; the other 2 score lower.

Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
