2025 BACK TO THE PAST WATCH CHALLENGE

Welcome to the Back to the Past Watch Challenge 2025 !

Original idea of this challenge belongs to Rien.

Goal : To watch 1 drama or movie aired/released in 2025, and from the years before (going back) until you’ve had enough. It can be a (short) movie or any type of drama. How far back would you go?

For example, if your goal is to go back and watch dramas/movies that were released from 2014 till 2025, then you need to watch 12 titles.

Rules :

  1. Watch 1 title (movie or drama) that aired (was released and completed) in 2025. And then, keep going back a year (so it goes like 2025 ➤ 2024 ➤ 2023 ➤ 2022 ➤ etc.) until you want to stop.
  2. Put the titles in chronological order from most recent (2025) to older. 
  3. You don’t have to watch it in chronological order.
  4. Don’t skip a year! Or else it beats the purpose of the challenge.
  5. Only count titles you have watched in the year 2025 (from January 1 till December 31).
  6. For any questions, PM me!

For added difficulty (optional) :

  • Pick only one type: movies or dramas.
  • Watch 2 titles per year: 1 drama and 1 movie.
  • Watch only titles from one specific country. 
  • Watch at least one title from each of the 7 countries of MDL.
  • Watch only titles from a specific genre.
  • Watch only titles from a specific actor, actress, director, or writer.
  • Watch only titles you haven’t watched before.
