2026 BACK TO THE PAST WATCH CHALLENGE

Welcome to the Back to the Past Watch Challenge 2026 !

Goal : To watch 1 drama or movie aired/released in 2026, and from the years before until you’ve had enough. How far back would you go?

For example, if your goal is to go back and watch dramas/movies that were released from 2015 till 2026, then you need to watch 12 titles.

Rules :

  1. Watch 1 title (drama or movie) that aired (was released and completed) in 2026. And then, keep going back a year (so it goes like 2026 ➤ 2025 ➤ 2024 ➤ 2023 ➤ etc.) until you want to stop.
  2. Put the titles in chronological order from most recent (2026) to older. 
  3. You do not have to watch the titles 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 2026 (from January 1 till December 31).
  6. Any type of dramas or (short) movies are accepted.
  7. 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 8 countries of MDL.
  • Watch only titles from a specific genre.
  • Watch only titles from a specific actress, actor, director, or writer.
  • Watch only titles you haven’t watched before.
