I've seen several drama challenges on this forum but none with specific requirements that make people really hunt around for something that fits the criteria, so naturally I created one for you :^)

200_s.gif
(Inspired by this)

HOW IT WORKS

You must find (and watch!) a drama that fits each criteria listed below, however you may only use a drama once- every drama must fit a unique criteria!

There are 4 levels, each with increasingly specific criteria listed within, with level 1 being the easiest and level 4 the hardest.

The aim is to complete all 4 levels (No need to complete them in order!)

Most importantly, remember you are supposed to be discovering new dramas that you wouldn't have watched normally- That means every drama you watch for  this challenge must be new to you! 

And don't forget to reply to this thread with your entry form!

(Any questions feel free to ask!)



THE CHALLENGE

(This is a form you should copy+paste into your reply and update every time you finish a drama by writing its name alongside the criteria)

There is no designated time period to finish the challenge within, however feel free to set yourself one as an extra challenge~:)


I hope as many people as possible will join this challenge as it did take a long time to create x) But of course, have fun with it.


UPDATES:
- Changed Chinese drama to Chinese/Taiwanese
- Changed LGBT drama to drama/movie




For the dramas do we only watch one episode, however many we want, how many is available or the entire thing? I really wanna do this but I just wanna get all the rules right. :)
The idea is to watch the entire thing or however many are available if it's an airing series~
You can still list a show if you are in the process of watching it though, just make sure to update the "completed" section on the right-hand side when you have finished it.  :)
Thanks! I'm starting right now!
that sounds like fun! ^^ 
I'm in ^^

Here is my own legend : green is watched already, orange is currently watching and red is plan-to-watch.
