MDL's 2024 Challenge FAQ and Discussion

2 more questions:

1. In EXchange 3 (variety show), one of the participants reacts to a bee and another claims that it's not a bee but a wasp. Then 2 of them sing a song about a bee.

I have no idea what they saw since the camera didn't zoom in. Can I place this show  be listed for either bee or wasp prompts since both were mentioned?

2. For healing plant, do seeds of plants count? Or how about the mention of a healing plant? Will it be enough? In 'The Legend of Shen Li', the male lead is often using what appears to be seeds and dried parts of plants to concoct medicinal brews.

Edit: I accidentally thought I heard the mention of a healing plant but still better to ask if it needs to be spotted or no.

Hello, 

I have a question:

To get the Floral Fan badge, do we have to watch all 5 prompts in a block (with matching actor/writer/director), even when we’re only going on the first round?

And does this rule still apply when we do second round on that block?

Thanks in advance  :) 🌸

 JulyMoon:

I asked the same question before and the answer was we need to fulfil all 5 prompts no matter which round. 

Thanks @JulyMoon :)

By the second question, I mean, if we're doing second round on that block, do we need to watch titles which have the same actor/writer/etc that was chosen for the first round? Or we treat the block as a clean slate?

TBH I'm still not sure if I'm going to go beyond first round, but I'm considering it.

@ JulyMoon thanks again, really appreciate it. :)

Such a coincidence that I also chose block 4 for that, but I like your clever idea on doing the Floral Fan on round 2! I might do that if I decided to go beyond round 1.

Hello,

I have a question,

I watched a Filipino movie on netflix, but when I checked the title on MDL it wasn't there. Can I still count this film?

Thank you ?✨

What’s the film? I can do some digging for you to see if i can find it or add it. 

As long as it is produced by the Philippines, it would count. We do encourage you to add anything that is missing into the MDL database. But if that's not your gig, a link to a source saying that the production company is from the Philippines would work.

For the sexual assault prompt, can I use other tags that relate to it like attempted sexual assault, reference to sexual assault, sexual abuse, etc?

other prompts like arranged relationship & discrimination work that way too but i just wanted to be 100% sure :)

 PrincessJirachi:

I can't find the Tag for Block 18 #4 "Ex-Girlfriend / Ex-Boyfriend returns", what should I do?

Ex Comes Back

I can't be the only person not overly keen on the season/flowers aspect of this years challenge? I also agree with those who have said that it's overly complicated this year. I am not taking part for those reasons. I hope this doesn't come across as rude because I don't want to be, it's just my feedback.

I know that work goes into creating them and that people are still enjoying it so obviously appreciate that aspect.

If you were to do a similar one next time I would hope it would be more easily split in two - the standard genre/tag/year (etc) challenge and the theme challenge, and that if someone wanted to complete both with different titles they would get a special badge or something.. because I did like taking part in the past :)
