@pickletrip gave me the BEST pre-easter present today (not that I really celebrate mind you, I just appreciate the long weekend off 😏) by pointing out an unexpected early appearance of a shirt on the Thai Communal Wardrobe list in Love By Chance season 2.
I'm not updating the original post with it yet, though, because it's also going to be worn in Deep Night at some point, but I can't tell you how happy it has made me. This shirt has been worn seven times now, with 3.5 years between the first sighting and the most recent.
Anyway, this brilliant news spurred me on to do a scroll through of LBC 2 and I was pikachu-faced when I saw this dinosaur shirt on Can...
...because it's one that's stood out for me from another well-known series that I've always wondered if I'd see it again (to be fair there are a lot of items of clothing like this for me 🤭) AND NOW I HAVE!
So, before I make a post about this new item, I'll give 1000 bonus points to whoever recognises where else it's been used/worn 😁

10 BLs where the Main Couple has NO Prior History
Or at least, very very little of it. The opposite of the very popular LTP (long term pining).
This post in response to a question posed by the most excellent @luuhecia who asked: Soooo here's my plea: do you have any recommendations of shows where the people involved have no previous history?
In other words we get to watch them meet and fall in love with no prior history on either side. So I eliminated those were there was a made crush even if only recently (e.g. Light on Me, Takara & Amagi).
1. Seven Days
They know of each other but just in a normal high school way. No pining. The story is basically about the 7 days it takes them to fall in love.
2. Color Rush
They are destined for each other but they have never met before.
3. Semantic Error
In fact, part of the premise is a “hunt for the unknown boy who made him fail to graduate.”
4. To My Star
They have a couple of meet cutes, accidentally shack up together.
There are actually a TON from Korea.
5. Addicted
The new kid in high school. They have a family connection (it turns out) but they didn’t know each other.
6. Restart After Come Back Home
We see them meet for the first time and then go on from there.
7. HIStory 2: Crossing the Line
They meet by crashing into each other because... Taiwan.
8. My Tooth Your Love
Just so cute.
9. Eclipse
There are a lot of good ones from Thailand but I chose this because it’s part of the plot, how they know nothing about each other.
10. Love by Chance
Just the greatest meet cute ever.
NEW ENTRY
11. The Eighth Sense
Actually uses the fact that the DO NOT have prior history with each other as a plot point and for character development. It’s addressed directly ind dialogue. Very nicely done!
