I did this last year, and I'm a dork, so I'm gonna do it again :D
My personal challenge in review post:
Movies watched: 29
Dramas/specials watched: 31
Favorite movies: Radiance, A Fool, Water Flower, Mandala
Favorite dramas: Sandglass, A Boy Called Flora A, Cheo Yong
Country distribution: Korea (34/60 = 56.7%); Japan (18/60 = 30%); China (5/60 = 8.3%); Taiwan (2/60 = 3.3%); Thailand (1/60 = 1.7%)
Total time spent: 30,255 minutes! (504.25 hours / 21.0 days / 3.0 weeks)
Oldest thing watched: Hand of Destiny and Twenty Four Eyes (both 1954)
Things I watched that I probably wouldn't have otherwise: Rakshasa Street (had never heard of it before searching manhua adaptations), Painted Skin: The Resurrection (had to do some searching to find something set in a fantasy world - why was that so hard?)
Average score given: 6.9 (excluding the two dramas I rewatched for the challenge)
Worst score: 1.5 (Kids)
Best score: 8.5 (to Radiance, Sandglass, Snowy Road)
This year's challenge was pretty different from last year's! There were some categories that had me pretty stumped not because I couldn't find options, but that I wanted to want to watch the thing I chose, haha. So it took me some time to find some things. Last year, there were more categories that kind of forced me into watching some things (because there actually were fewer options based on how the categories were set up), for better or worse (I can think of examples of both, actually). Even if they didn't end up being great dramas or movies, I like being pushed out of my box and for whatever reason, I didn't get that from this year's categories. Or maybe it was me. *shrugs* Still, this gets me through a bit of my PTW backlog and it does make me search for some things, which I find fun.
Constructive criticism: I like the idea of giving more points for watching longer things, but I feel that the difference between 5 and 24 is too big. And there are so many dramas much, much longer than 25 hours that the scoring doesn't reward much at all. But I get that to make it perfectly fair, we'd need a multiplier or sliding scale and that people would object to having to do math. Ha.
So I'm sure I'll be back next year :) Thank you again for organizing, Hessa!
