Completed my sixth challenge

NOTICE: My display name changed from moonchild/LunaNoir to JulyMoon!

Going for one last recommendation this year or maybe my first in 2024, who knows? 


Saygo, since the years end is approaching, I'm gonna give you a couple recommendations and you can choose what works best for you. :) 

The Boy Next Door (15 episodes, each 6 minutes long; funny and short drama)

Navillera (12 episodes, 1 hour 5 minutes each; heartwarming, but also nostalgic/bit sad watch) 

The Living Dead (movie, enjoyable watch if you liked Wen Ning in The Untamed) 

Like Father, Like Son (movie, typical Japan slow storytelling but good)


Open for recs, but please keep it to a maximum of 12 episodes or a movie. Preferably from my watchlist but not necessarily. Any heartwarming, comfort watch is welcome. Thank you!

I accept Xiao Zi's recommendation for Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi

Status: Completed

Rating: 9 

I really enjoyed it. It was funny, but also with enough depth to make it more than a simple rom-com. I'm happy that I watched it. :) 

5th Challenge Completed - The Killer's Shopping List (7.0/10)


It was a one-time watch, but a good one.


Thanks, everyone for all the recommendations. Had a Fun Time Watching. 

I'm neither accepting nor giving any recommendations further. I hope you enjoyed my recommendations. 

Hoping for a Happy New Year for Everyone!!


Next person Please recommend to LunaNoir. Thanks.

7th Challenge completed.


I recommend LunaNoir to watch Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi. It's short (just 9 eps of 24 min) and is on your PTW. It's one of the best dramas that I've watched this year and I hope you'll like it too.


Open to recs, but only short ones or movies, that I can complete in a day or two (cuz it's almot year end). Rec don't have to be from my PTW. 


Happy New Year, everyone! 

I especially thank Wish for creating this challenge. I hope you'll do this for the next year as well.

12th Challenge = Complete ^_^   


I think it is too late for a rec now  so maybe they can be the first  for next 2024 one.

Status- Not open for  recommendations until the new 2024 challenge

All recommendations from this year's challenge need to be completed by January, 15th so basically you could still recommend a short drama/movie and then you will be the first that gets a recommendation for 2024. That's up to you and Xiao Zi though, of course. :)

Happy New Year 2024! 

The inaugural We Watch Challenge 2023 had a good run, all thanks to the active participation of the challengers. Thank you so much! 

I had a lot of fun hosting this challenge as much as our Challengers. Love the progressively engaging interactions and also the progressively longer reviews of recommended dramas, plus detailed reasons for recommending dramas. I hope you have added new MDL Friend(s) from participating in this Challenge.

A wrap up of We Watch Challenge 2023 will be done at the final We Watch 2023 Challenge Award Ceremony to be held on 20-21 Jan 2024.


We Watch Challenge 2024 has moved to a new forum under “General Asia”, to avoid this challenge being swiftly dropped to the nth page by the other rapid -fire forum games.

Important notes for Challengers of We Watch Challenge 2023

  1. If you have not started watching the drama recommended to you, please complete the drama and update your post by 15 Jan 2024, 2359H (UTC).
  2. If you have already watched the recommended drama, do update your challenge post with your rating and a short take on why you like/ not like about the drama, for count towards the challenge tally for 2023 Challenge.
  3. The final We Watch 2023 Challenge Award Ceremony will be held on the weekend after 15 Jan 2024, 2359H (UTC).

Wish, you should ask one of the mods or admins to pin your post for the challenge! It might be seen by  more looking for this kind of activity if posted in the games forum but pinned at the top like the MDL Watch Challenge, 24 recs challenge etc., though I think the 52 week one is in general Asia (can’t remember, can’t be bothered to look at the moment). Wherever it is, pinning it will keep it from being buried under the ”word starting with ___” kinds of posts that have dozens of pages and last for years. :)

Hello Elbee, thanks for your ardent support for We Watch Challenge 2023 and your suggestion! Will KIV your suggestion for the future, as currently I'm worried that I might not cope if there are more challengers than I can cope ^^

Hello, 

I have (finally ^^""") watched the drama recommended to me (6/10) and updated my post : https://mydramalist.com/discussions/forum-games/83729-we-watch-challenge-2023?pid=2492789&page=4#p2492789
