MDL Year in Review

Anyone have year end stats they want to share?

I feel like I spend a lot more time watching than these numbers represent, lol

This one I find rather strange, only one of these was new to me, the rest were rewatched, but I guess since I updated the number of times I watched it counts as rating them. :woman_shrugging:

I just knew PHS wasn’t going to be on the top of my list for 2022, but I’m going to fix that this year, although I can’t complain, these guys are all great.

I knew I’d watched a lot of BLs this year…

I forgot that MDL does this. I’m excited to see what my stats are, as last year was skewed due to the fact that I had just started my account and everything I added from all my years of watching counted for that year.

Well here is the link - I have not done any print screens with cutouts for a while and have some sleep disorder back bouncing this week …

https://mydramalist.com/profile/lutra/year/2022

dramas: 59 movies: 25

I feel as if I watch 6 or 7 movies before and after Christmas

It says I watched drama for 6 hours a week, I think this is the smallest number ever of what feels like the worst year ever for me, real life not dramas per se, since most dramas I watched were older ones.

My top-rated dramas:
Dear My Friends - Once Again - The Good Detective - It’s Beautiful Now - Unkind Women - The Red Sleeve

My top-rated movies
A Taxi Driver - My Palpitating Life - Tunnel - Seobok - Escape from Mogadishu - Honest Candidate 1

Well, well, if MDL says so …

I had no idea MDL offers a Year in Review. Let’s see what my statistics are: https://mydramalist.com/profile/gedachtenwereld/year/2022

Dramas: 57 movies; 5 .
Yeah, I’m not much of a movie watcher. Often I spend so much time choosing one that I don’t have time for it anymore.

Top-rated dramas:
Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People - Sky Castle - Healer - My Mister - Joy of Life 1 - Reset
Nr. 1 and 3 are rewatches. Nr 5 is a half-rewatch. I started it, but decided to begin over again.

Ratings: I’m not very generous with giving out 9 or 10 stars and I quite easily drop drama’s that I don’t find interesting (anymore) so it’s rare for me to give drama’s a low rating.

My most-watched dramas are from South Korea. For this year, I’m going to try to balance it more out with other countries. I’m sure there are a lot of nice stories from other countries that I haven’t discovered yet.

The actors I watched in most series are Bai Jing Ting and Kang Tae Oh (both 3 times). The other ones including the actresses all have 2 series I watched them in. I am assuming this is about Main Leads, because if Secondary Leads/all actors were included, it probably would look very differently.

I forgot this too, wow I sure didn’t watch much, I laughingly said. it only showed the ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  stuff, looks like it didn’t show other places. unless I just picked ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  stuff. but its still good to know

I am the same now, I ā€œbunkeredā€ a few in the currently watching section, so I am slowly picking up one after the other.

Isn’t it fascinating that I watched only 2 dramas more than you, but you still have used triple the amount of time to watch yours. Then again, I think, I watched a lot of short dramas that year and daily dramas, who do not deliver more than 2,5 hrs of content in one week …

Like you, I am scrooge in giving 10 or even 9 points as a raiting.

It could be because I often watch multiple dramas simulteneously and I rarely watch on-air series. I just get too impatient and then don’t remember stuff and lose my interest. I was quite surprised to see how much hours a week I spent watching dramas. Didn’t expect it to be so high…
I haven’t seen any of your top-rated dramas, but I have seen 3 of your top-rated movies. (One of them was before 2022) Interesting to see how we all watch and enjoy different series.

I wonder if the MDL system is still working on the year end numbers, my number of episodes watched doesn’t work with the number of dramas I watched. 152 dramas, but only 374 episodes? That’s 2 1/2 episodes per drama, umm no.

For anyone interested the link to my MDL year end SweetyBird's 2022 Year In Review - MyDramaList feel free to add me as a friend if you want.

Yes, when it is about the top-rated content, then we both only have a sole item that shows up: A Taxi Driver, which is quite surprising since it isn’t really in the line of our usual pick …

I wonder too, it’s true I watched a lot of short dramas but most of them still had the length of 8-12 and almost all the year I had a daily drama on the sideline, those usually are over 100 episodes …

For me, 2022 = Chinese dramas


I’ll see what 2023 has in store for us. Will my favourite dramas be Korean this year?

I was surprised since my year was mostly Thai lol, I have to say that 2022 was the year when I started watching Thai dramas, but I didn’t expect that result since my favorite 2022 dramas were Chinese :rofl:

Ahaha i forgot MDL does this!! Watched only 25 dramas this year…

I watched ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  stuff most - and ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  comes second XD :see_no_evil: didn’t expect that, but the plots and overall fluffiness do compensate for the terrible subs. Thank you to all the Viki volunteers who made their dramas watchable :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
My pet service tvN didn’t rank in my most watched services… got replaced by SBS


I see it’s a mix of classics and new ones. 2022 was my year of It Started With a Kiss-They Kiss Again obsession so it’s not surprising Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng made it to my top favorite actors :see_no_evil::see_no_evil: Romance, comey and happy endings are still hold all my top spots.

It’s been a crazy year. Wonder what 2023 holds for all of us… whatever it is, I’m grateful for the chance to know and engage with all of you. Dramaland, here’s to another chaotically hilarious year of laughter, love, and warmth!!
