2025 - 52 Week Drama Challenge

You know it already, the same as usual :D

This is not a competition or anything. It's more like a list of dramas/movies you've seen in 2025 divided into months/weeks. Just for you to keep a better track of those. Often the goal is to watch 52 dramas per year but no one will judge you for watching 12 dramas in a year or 1000 dramas in a year (if that even is possible?).

Because these questions are often asked, I'll answer them here:

"Can I count rewatched dramas?"

"What about a drama I started 4 years ago and never finished but decided to finish now?"

Yes, you can count ANYTHING you FINISH during 2025 as long as it falls under the titles that are & will be on MDL during 2025.
