Hong Kong Drama Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to the Hong Kong Drama Challenge! After (and actually way before) creating the Hong Kong Cinema Challenge (which you should totally join if you haven't yet!) I began planning a drama version of it. I'm pretty new to Hong Kong dramas but I'm totally obsessed with them and excited to watch more, if you are the same or a total newbie who's curious you're very welcome to join me on this journey! People who've already seen a few (or many) can also join in on the fun of course :)

As HK dramas aren't as widely accessible elsewhere as other MDL countries' dramas, feel free to ask me (or let me know hehe) resources for watching these dramas. I should also mention that this challenge was inspired by and resembles other similar challenges you can find on MDL for other countries.

The challenge has 5 original levels, 1 bonus level and an extra challenge in the end. You need to watch 5 dramas each for the first 4 levels and 10 dramas for the 5th level.  You can watch up to 3 dramas for the bonus level which i explained further in the rules.

You don't have to watch a separate drama for the extra challenge in the end, you can review one of the dramas you completed for a different level and link the review at the end (You can also add a short review there if you wish.) I just thought of adding it after seeing how few reviews basically most Hong Kong dramas have on here.

I decided to make this a drama challenge only and not allow other types of titles because I didn't want us to resort to mostly watching movies out of convenience since that would defy the purpose of the challenge.

RULES:
- Only use dramas to complete the challenge. Movies, Specials, etc. don't count for this challenge.
- Only use titles you completed after joining the challenge. (You can opt to use up to 3 dramas you completed before the challenge but you must complete a bonus prompt for each of them.)
- You don't have to complete all levels, you can complete only one of them if you want. But you do have to watch a drama for each prompt in a level to complete the level.
- You also don't have to complete the bonus level. *Check Rule #2
- You don't have to complete the extra challenge either.
- You can rewatch a drama to use it for the challenge.
- There is no time limit to complete the challenge.
- You may customize your sign-up form in any way you want as long as it has the basic info needed.
