Every Genre Challenge

The challenge is: 

  1. Watch 1 drama from every genre on MDL's search menu.  Optional: Watch a movie and short dramas from every genre too. I will be doing all.
  2. No time limit and no re-watches or dramas from before the starting date are to be included.
  3. Genres that have been turned into tags (like zombies) are still watched. If any of them can't be found I'll probably go for something similar to the genre (for example, a historical with a gun-wielding lead, like Gunman In Joseon, could replace a Western as it has somewhat similar elements) but, if I really can't find anything, I'll just ignore the category.
  4. No purposefully small dramas (excluding jdramas, which are naturally smaller) or movies for each genre unless it's specifically for the short section. 
  5. Short dramas must be anything under 35-30mins per episode or be a similar length to a web series (4h, or something like that). Think Love Cells, The Miracle or 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii length.

Start date: 21st November 2021
