Not sure about others, or if I understood your question correctly, but here goes nothing:
You can use the basic functions, such as: currently watching column for dramas that you are watching, the "plan to watch" list for you to save all the dramas that you maybe saw on reels and felt like they are interesting, "on hold" or "dropped".
Another feature that mdl offers are "lists". You can create various lists and set them on private or leave them public and save there various shows in any category you want (horror, comedy, lgbt, movies etc). You can use the list option as your "plan to watch" and slowly browse them (then delete them from that list once you completed the show), or save favourite shows that you would like to watch again at some point.
Mdl is rather flexible in terms of organising your shows: you can either bunk them all together in their basic mode or spend some time and slowly create lists to organise them as you wish.
Hope this helps!
(But in case I understood the question wrong sorry)
