Hello and welcome to the OST Watch Challenge!
I know this year has had an explosion of challenges but since I'm part of the problem, I'm going to make it worse and bring in another one <3
The OST of a drama or movie plays a big part in making the experience. For some it's more important than for others, but overall, it's safe to say that everyone enjoys a good song. The purpose of this challenge is just that, to explore dramas/movies through their music.
If you want to discuss OSTs/Soundtracks or find recommendations, feel free to drop by the Soundtrack Lovers Club!
Some prompts inspired by the Music section of the Mandarin challenge ^^
Category 5 was suggested by Simi_Tutu and Category 6 was courtesy of Indie Art Girl <3 Thank you both for the help!
INFO:
• There is no time limit. Start whenever and take as long as you want/need!
• Anyone can join.
• You don’t need to complete the prompts in order.
• You can watch any type of title as long as it fulfills the prompt (i.e., dramas, TV shows, movies, or specials).
• Titles from any MDL country count.
• You can edit the format for the challenge however you see fit.
• Feel free to add extra difficulties to the challenge (e.g. Only from 1 country, repeat various times for various countries, dramas or movies only, 2 titles per prompt (drama & movie)).
RULES:
1. You can only use a title once per prompt.
2. You can’t use titles you already watched unless you rewatch them. (You can, however, finish watching from your currently watching or on-hold list!)
3. Only post once in this thread and edit that initial post with progress.
4. Have fun!
If you have any questions, feel free to DM me or ask me here, and I’ll answer to the best of my ability. If you have or know of any lists that fit a certain prompt, let me know and I’ll add them!
