I wanted to break down the first scene in 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 / 40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto because there is some loaded meaning to this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To celebrate his birthday, Suzume buys a strawberry shortcake, which is half price off, as indicated by the yellow and red sticker on the plastic cover of the box. He refers to the cake as a Christmas cake because in Japan, strawberry shortcakes are essentially The Christmas Cake. As his birthday falls on the eve of Christmas, it is also serves as his birthday cake. Notably, "Christmas Cake" is also an outdated term used to describe women and because unsold Christmas cakes are thought of as unwanted. Traditionally, women in Japan were expected to get married early, so not getting married after 25 suggested that they would no longer be wanted, since people only eat Christmas cakes until the 25th of December, which is Christmas. (source)
As such, the underlying meaning of the scene is that Suzume too, has past his prime and is no longer wanted, as a single 39 year old, which are also reflected by his own current beliefs about himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The gaga sub is wrong here. Suzume says "a guy who is almost 40".
In Japan, when you are almost 40, you can use the term "arafo", which means around 40, to describe yourself, but it's once again, used in terms of being 'old'.

Let’s think of a couple pose, just in case we end up on billboards together. [...] If that day really comes,do you want to move in with me? Huh? Why not? If both of our faces are on that billboard, we could buy a place in this condo. Then we’d wake up and see our faces every day.

This Week in The TCW
Apr 20th - Apr 26th
It's a real mixed bag this week with ten items of shared clothing being worn across twelve different shows. AND PIT BABE, KINNPORSCHE, AND JEFF SATUR HAVE ALL FINALLY MADE THE LIST! (It almost happened previously for KinnPorsche - a top worn by Macau was used in the opening credits of We Are but sadly not in the actual series, so it didn't count.)
Apr 23rd - My Golden Blood
The first item this week was a complete surprise for me in ep 7 of My Golden Blood. This yellow 'Weekend' shirt was worn also in City of Stars (Feb 2024).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is Tong's blue, grey, and white t-shirt. It was first worn in Wandee Goodday (Jul 2024) and has already been worn this year in The Boy Next World (Jan 2025). With this one I'm not sure if the colour differences are from the filming/post production, or if they just are different tones.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was good timing this week for me to start my Pit Babe re-watch ahead of season 2 because I spotted Charlie's shirt (from ep 2, Nov 2023) on Mark (both are linin, the stripes are the same width, and the stripe directions on the shoulder seams are the same on both).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apr 25th - Sweet Tooth Good Dentist
The first of four items in ep 5 of Sweet Tooth Good Dentist was one I knew would be worn from seeing it in the trailer. This was first used in Peaceful Property (Oct 2024) and then very briefly in ThamePo (Dec 2024).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But it was a surprise to see the t-shirt underneath Gugg's jacket - also worn by Day in Last Twilight (Dec 2023).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This pink and white hoodie jacket was another item I knew would appear in STGD - also worn in The Trainee (Aug 2024).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this last one I had been anticipating since the pilot trailer. Also worn by Top in Only Friends (Aug 2023).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Historical Discoveries
The first historical discovery is a recent one - @jackandjoker pointed out to me that Tong's 'human' t-shirt from ep 3 of My Golden Blood had also been worn in KinnPorsche (Jul 2022), thus putting KinnPorsche and Jeff Satur on the Communal Wardrobe list! 🎉 (The writing on the back of the shirt is also the same. Incidentally, this is the only time Kim has anything written on his shirt - he almost exclusively wears plain tees [usually white or black if I'm not mistaken] - when he is thinking of and missing Chay. Make of that what you will).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Due to the above, I decided to do a scan through of the whole of KinnPorsche and discovered right at the end why a shirt I had seen in Monster Next Door (Aug 2024) had felt very familiar - worn also in ep 14 of KinnPorsche (Jul 2022).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And lastly, I saw the blue cloud sweater in this post from @mysterygrl20 which @gaypplonmyscreen then helpfully informed me was from ep 7 of Pit Babe (Dec 2023). Worn first (that I'm aware of) in Our Skyy 2 A Boss and a Babe (May 2023), and then more recently in Flirt Milk (Feb 2025).

This Week in The TCW
Apr 13th - Apr 19th
It's a bit of a mixed bag this week. Not as many from Sweet Tooth Good Dentist as last week, but I made an historical discovery, there's a special mention below, and we've had our first Thai 🤝🏽 Korean Communal Wardrobe clothing item.
Apr 16th - My Golden Blood
Ironically, since it was Songkran in Thailand, we had a dry start to the week in terms of qls and therefore clothing, but Wednesday saw the return of this cosy knit top in My Golden Blood ep 6. Worn originally in Only Friends (Oct 2023), then in The Trainee (Sept 2024), and three months ago in Perfect 10 Liners (Jan 2025). My bet's on it being used in Sweet Tooth Good Dentist as well at some point (I'd love it to be on Jimmy too).

Apr 18th - Sweet Tooth Good Dentist
Following our epic haul last week, episode 4 of Sweet Tooth Good Dentist this week gave us just a third of the amount we got in ep 3. The first is a shirt also worn originally in Only Friends (Sept 2023).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next up is a sweater I noticed from a scan through of The Trainee (ep 11, Sept 2024) and saved it thinking it might be worn in Sweet Tooth Good Dentist since it's food related...and I was happy to be right!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And lastly, I knew this cardigan was going to be worn by Captain from the trailer, but I'm always happy to see it - and Jimmy - because it's a popular one. Last year, it won my "We Bought This on Wholesale Award" in my 2024 roundup for being the item of clothing already on the communal wardrobe list which had the most reappearances in 2024. This lighter blue version has been worn in seven series now. A darker blue version was also worn in The Trainee, and a dark blue short-sleeve version was used in My Dear Gangsta Oppa. A brown version also exists, which has been worn in two series (not all series pictured).

Historical Discoveries
This week I went looking for Tonkla's tiger shirt (worn in ep 6 of My Golden Blood) in Secret Crush On You. I did not find it, sadly, but I did notice this PARTNER t-shirt in ep 14 (May 2022). It has also been worn in The Eclipse (Oct 2022) and Only Friends (Oct 2023).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Special Mentions
Although not on the communal wardrobe list yet (it needs to have been worn in another series first) this sweater from Lost in the Woods ep 5 earned a special mention anyway. It was worn first by Khaotung, and is assumed to be his own sweater (and not something he was styled in for work). (Photos from this post by @scarefox and @respectthepetty)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And finally, this week produced what i think is our first Thai and Korean item of shared clothing. They may not be exactly the same shirt, or brand, but the pattern is definitely the same. Fourever You ep 12 had a long-sleeve version, Heesu in Class 2 ep 7 had a short-sleeve version, and Boys in Love will soon also have the short-sleeve one.

especially gutted by the fact that upon waking up and having no clue what happened, Akin initially assumed he was waking up next to Jin and immediately went to reach for his hand 😭😩

Well, it's safe to say that Mark cannot wait for Tong's Happy Hour to add Golden [REDACTED] to the menu [Insp. ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★]

Show, we need to talk.
Thus far there's been a lot of fantastic embracing of vampire/supernatural tropiness in this production.
A mind-controlled child tackling Tong like a linebacker? Perfection!
Tumblr media
Mark going feral over that sweet sweet blood? Delightful!
Tumblr media
It's why we watch a show like this.
However.
When you have a villain who looks like this:
Tumblr media
And you have him holding a knife dripping with the lead's blood:
Tumblr media
HE IS SUPPOSED TO LICK IT
This is vampire villain 101!!!
This can be redeemed. In one way. If you let him lick Tonkla.

I'm sure that this kiss wasn't because of the golden blood. It's from my true feelings. Feelings that... I've never felt before in my life.

If I were to kiss you then go to hell, I would. So then I can brag with the devils, that I saw heaven without entering it.
