Love By Chance Season 2 – รักนี้บังเอิญคือคุณ (2020)

Season 2 of Love By Chance will focus on Tin-Can (the second main couple) due to the lack of an effective conclusion in the initial season. Fans are demanding closure and the production team has obliged.

Nexus International deals with an exclusive BL brand named Blue Romance who will serve as an “official link between the studio and the Korean & international fan bases”.
