MDL's 2025 Challenge FAQ and Discussion

Construction Worker Prompt -
   a) In a drama, some people in hard hats use ladders to climb and remove a sign from an office building and replace it with another. Do they count as construction workers?
  b) CEO's secretary FL is told the men (no other explanation) are on the verge of a strike. She then goes to meet these men who're wearing hard hats, have shovels in their hands and are threatening to destroy the building they're all standing in front of. Do they count as construction workers?

So for construction worker, again it is a spot it so basically all someone has to do is mention the word construction worker and it counts. wearing hard hats doesn't make a person a construction worker and neither does changing a sign or threatening to tear down a building unless the people doing it are known to be construction workers. I home this makes this clear 

As for me I found this moment while watching The Ex-Morning and will probably ise it for this prompt just for fun.... 

If there is a cdrama on youtube that fits a prompt but I can't figure out the title to search if it is on MDL, can I just share the link to it instead?

Sadly most vertically filmed dramas on youtube are posted without original titles or I would have created a page for it.

I managed to find the title and other information and have submitted it for review.

Thanks for your hard work!

Yeah, I’d agree with your instinct — a dormitory is generally not the same as a hostel. A hostel is typically a temporary, short-term living arrangement (often for travelers), while a dormitory usually implies a longer-term residence tied to schooling. That said, I’d wait to see if someone on the team has a more flexible interpretation — especially if the dorm is portrayed like a shared/communal space with transient residents.

As for the construction worker prompt — thanks, Shiro, for the clarification. “Mention = counts” makes it much easier to spot and track. Also love that someone’s using The Ex-Morning for that — curious to see how it fits!
