MDL's 2024 Challenge FAQ and Discussion

 Mart:

Hi, I have a question, I tried to check if it had already been asked but I don't seem to have found anything about it so here I am.

To get the "floral fan" badge in the first round, do I necessarily have to see 5 titles in the same block or are 3 titles required by the challenge enough?

The way I read it, you would have to complete all 5 prompts. Completing 3 prompts would complete the block but not get you the badge.

Can I use the same block for different Leap Flowers? I'm using Block 4 for the Leap Flower 'Floral Fan' which requires to watch all 5 prompts with titles of the same actor/actress etc. 

Can I come up with a prompt and add it to this block for the Leap Flower 'Leap Year'?

New question: I rewatched a drama already watched in 2024 and used for my challange. Can I give it to someone else and use it for the black rose prompt?

Hi Mart, if you used the title for the challenge then the answer is no unfortunately. If you want to help someone the title you watch must not be used by yourself.

for the Floral Fan question, others already answered it but I’m just confirming. You need to watch all the prompts in a block to achieve the badge. Within a block, all prompts are completed with titles that share the same main lead actor, writer, or director.

Hi JulyMoon, if they indicate that there is a flower festival then you can use it for that prompt. You can add the reason in notes :)

Thanks, Rien! Thank you for replying. <3 I already found a drama for the flower festival prompt, but I was asking in general so I add the drama to the list then. :) 

Can you maybe help with my previous question? 

I was wondering if I can use the same block for 2 Leap Flowers? I'm using Block 4 for the Leap Flower 'Floral Fan' so I'm fulfilling all 5 prompts in that block.

Can I use the same block also for the Leap Flower 'Leap Year' by adding a 6th prompt?

just wondering, did all of the past years challenges get deleted? i was going to look back on mine to find a new prompt for the leap year badge & it seems like they are gone???

I just tried to look back at mine and I have the same issue. I’m not sure what happend, let’s hope it’s just a temporary problem. 

 Rien:

The answer is yes.

Ah, that's great! Thank you! <3

Flower In/As Food 

Do flower petals scattered around a plate's edge count? The scene was short, so I couldn't tell if the petals were part of the food, as in edible petals. The petals (they looked real to me) were on a plate that is on a table full of food.

In another drama, food is presented with real flowers on the edge or on top of the food. But again, I don't know if the flowers are just decorative or edible. Do they count, since the prompt says "Flower in food"? 

Also, do flowers in drinks count? Not being a drinker myself, I don't know if those kind of flowers are edible or not. Either way, do such flowers count towards this prompt? 

-------------------

Flower Boy/Girl - In a drama there is this little girl carrying a basket of flowers, who goes up to the male lead and asks him to buy flowers for the pretty lady. Is this acceptable?

-------------------

Plant Agriculture - Do orchards count? Like in Samdalri, the FL's parents own/work in an orchard.

--------------------

Edited to Add -  Any help or flexibility with the "Botanist" prompt? I've watched so many dramas and movies in the past 6 months, but not one had a Botanist in it. I'm stuck. There are only 7 shows in the relevant list and they're not my cup of tea.
