Welcome to the

2021 Watch Challenge

დ

:) please read the following carefully (:

This year Old Anime Lady, Dramaworld and Poia are happy to represent the new MDL yearly watch challenge in it's new version and we hope you all have fun with it.

By introducing the block system this year, we hope you would all have fun creating your own challenge.

დ Each block represents a category and the idea is that each user will pick the blocks they want in their challenge.

დ Just cut and paste the blocks you want as long as the number of the challenges matches the difficulty level.

unless stated otherwise; all the items in the block must be completed for the block to be counted.

the bonus block: you can use items from the bonus block as a substitute or as extra items. (you can substitute items from any block with items from the bonus block) (you can pick items from the bonus block to add to your challenge) BUT you can only use each bonus item ONCE unless otherwise stated. So you have to decide, replace or use for extra points.

The final score will depend on how many blocks you COMPLETE; with 2 being the minimum Blocks for -super busy but still want to play: 2 Blocks (10 +)

დ We hope you like the ideas we came up with and if you have suggestions for 2022 add them to the discussion thread. : )

დ Please welcome our amazing discussion helpers NightTraveller and ElBee. We thank them so much for their hard work and support. დ

დ We thank Hessa for passing the torch and making it such an amazing challenge in the previous years and SheyCroix from MAL for first introducing this challenge. We do not intend to take someone else’s credit and Hessa already got permission from MAL. Moreover, if you are a fan of Anime or Manga make sure to check out their 2021 Challenge.) *

დ We also thank The Butterfly for testing and looking over the challenge before its release and their contributions in making it better.

After you finish your challenge you should post your turn-in form in this thread before December 28, 2021.

the block must be completed to be counted, unless stated otherwise.
Any forms or questions posted in the wrong thread will be IGNORED.

Can I add something I started watching in 2020 but is still ongoing?
- No, only add things started during the challenge period.
I don't have a favorite actor, director, or screenwriter. What can I do?
- Go to your favorite drama/movie and see who is the actor, director, or screenwriter and watch one of their other works.
Is the Challenge for Korean dramas/movies only?
- No, you can watch dramas/movies from any country listed on MDL.
Can any award be chosen for the award-winning challenge?
- Yes, any awards work. SBS, KBS, MBC, Baeksang, etc.
Can I list several dramas/movies for each challenge (Example: Watch a drama/movie adapted from a novel)?
- No, only 1 will be counted. So, choose one (either drama or movies) and use it for the challenge. We will only count the first title.
Only a few titles are listed in the links you provided?
- We added links to tags to make things easier for you, however, you don't necessarily need to use it. Moreover, not everything is tagged, so only a few things would show up. Hopefully, as we do the challenge, we help each other and add tags to watched dramas/movies.
Can you provide the code so I can copy it and keep the same format?
- Unfortunately, copying and pasting codes in the forum is disabled. Sorry about that, nothing we can do. You can ask the admins to add the ability if you want.
Can I re-watch titles instead of watching new dramas/movies?
- Yes, but remember a title can only be used once in the challenge.
Why does this challenge end on December 28, 2021?
- Because we need time to check all the users who finished the challenge and make the 2022 challenge. Also, we want to spend time with our families.
Where can I find films that are 3-hours long?
- Here is a list we compiled.
Where do I Find the Ranking of a Title?
- [Example] (see users question for where to find this box)
What credits should be counted for the (an actor/actress with 5 credits or less)?
- All credits in their MDL page should be counted. they don't have to be a leading cast (add the name of the cast member you choose+ this credit count near the title).
  here's a list that we complied.
Do i have to rewatch the whole drama i dropped? i don't have any dramas in my Dropped list?
- No, you can continue watching the drama where you left off, even if you dropped it years ago (this is the only exception). if your Dropped list is empty you can use your On Hold list.
Where can i find old movies with English subtitles?
- you can use THIS or the lists our amazing challengers helped create in the discussion thread.
Where can I Find MDL sections?

დ NOTE: we welcome all recommendations, notes and ideas so please check out the discussion forum.

*Disclaimer: of course real addiction/insanity is nothing to aspire to or mock and joke about, but in our drama-film loving world, we sure do practice it a lot *cough*SweetHomeMarathon*cough*!). the levels were only meant to be viewed in a drama-film loving light and no offence was ever intended.
