Japanese Watch Challenge

In preparation of the new year, I bring to you the Japanese Watch Challenge!

This challenge is for veteran dorama watchers, casual dorama enjoyers, and newbie watchers just dipping their toes alike which is why there’s levels to the challenge depending on how seasoned and/or committed you are/wanna be!

HOW IT WORKS:
There are 4 levels total, each with 4 categories/sections. There are 5 prompts per category/section. The levels get more difficult each time, with the last one being the most difficult to complete. This however doesn't mean that you need to finish all levels. You can pick and choose which levels you want to do. Say you only want to do level 3 because you like the prompts in that one but not the others, just do level 3, it still counts! And if you only want to do 1 category, you can do so too! There is no time limit so take it easy and enjoy exploring the dramas and movies Japan has to offer!

If you want to discuss jdramas or find recommendations, feel free to drop by the Japanese Dorama Club! We're friendly!

INFO:
• There is no time limit. Start whenever and take as long as you want/need!
• Anyone can join (even if you’ve never watched Jdramas/Jmovies).
• You don’t need to do every part of every level; you can pick and choose however many prompts/sections you want!
• 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) unless otherwise specified (e.g. asadoras which are dramas only).
• You can edit the format for the challenge however you see fit.

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. Only Japanese titles can be used for this challenge! The idea is to watch more doramas after all.
5. 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!

Special thanks to @JulyMoon for helping with a lot of the prompts! She's a lifesaver! And of course to all the lists I linked that aren't mine! Definitely check out the creators who put so much effort into compiling these lists!

QUESTIONS:

Q: Do I need to complete all the levels?
A: No, complete however many levels you like.

Q: Do I need to complete all the categories to complete a level?
A: No, only if you want!

Q: Do I need to complete all the prompts in a category?
A: No but there must be 5 prompts completed per category. You can change a few of the prompts if they're too difficult or you don't like them.

Q: Can I add more levels?
A: Of course!

Q: Can I add extra difficulties/challenges to the challenge?
A: Of course! (E.g. exceptions aside dramas only, no rewatches, only titles never heard of before, etc)

BADGES:

If you wanna contribute badges, please DM me and I'll add them!
