You May Know Them From Md

A browser extension for MyDramaList that instantly shows where you’ve seen an actor, director, writer, or other credited person before - based on your own MDL library.

❓ Ever had this moment?
“I know this actor from somewhere… but from where?”

👉 Instead of scrolling through a full filmography and trying to remember where you have seen someone before, this extension answers that instantly by comparing a person’s credits with the titles saved from your synced MyDramaList account. If you have already logged a drama, movie, or show they appeared in, you will see the match immediately! No need to scroll through their entire filmography every time.

✨ What it does
- Displays a banner on MDL people pages showing titles you already know them from
- Lets you open a “Show more” modal with detailed matches
- Shows your watch status (Completed, Watching, On Hold, Dropped)
- Includes role information (Actor, Director, Writer, etc.)
- Optionally supports staff credits like directors, writers, composers, and more
- Uses high-quality posters with local caching for faster loading

💻 How to use:
🔸 Click the "Add to Chrome" button and pin it to the toolbar.
🔸 Sync your MDL's account username on the extension's popup. You can also save your username for later use.
🔸 Now, every time you open up a person's page you'll get a banner at the top of MDL that tells you where you know that person from! You can also open up a "Show More" modal with more detailed information about each of the titles you know them from. note: you can toggle "Include staff credits" on the settings in the extension's popup

All data is stored locally in your browser
