I also agree that the best part of the movie was that early trip to Seoul, because it felt like it opened up a lot of Lara Jean’s character and her relationship to the mother she didn’t get to know, including her regrets about not having learned Korean from her. JM: Very grim! You gotta start protecting the moisture retention in your pillowy face now, Peter! Though that’s also realistic for the skin-care approach of any bro-y lacrosse player in high school, so I appreciate the verisimilitude. Can I get your input about Peter’s sheet-masking technique? He rubbed it off with a towel immediately after taking it off.
I say this as someone who’s typing with the Berry Lip Sleeping Mask slathered around my entire lower face. Taking it back, I think my favorite part of the movie was when the Covey girls go on a shopping spree at Laneige when they’re vacationing in Seoul. I can’t wait for an epilogue where she discovers the joys of setting her Hinge profile to a three-mile radius because she’s too lazy to travel to the other NYC boroughs, never mind a 3,000-mile difference to California. As soon as Lara Jean hit us with the “we’re not like those other couples” ideology, I zoned out. I’ll be frank, Jackson, I just don’t see these two beautiful teens staying together, just as I don’t see Peter making it to his second semester at Stanford without getting on academic probation. Do you have hope for them making it past the classic college freshman Thanksgiving-break breakup? In my time, this was for some reason dubbed “the turkey dump.”ĭevon Ivie: I love the term “turkey dump,” and now I’m suddenly craving one of those Wawa Thanksgiving sandwiches. It all involves a lot of hand-waving over the college application process, but to me, it also sort of felt like watching an extended breakup, even if the two of them stay together at the end of the movie. First, she lies about getting in to try to keep things superficially okay, and then she’s lured by the siren song of NYU to consider moving across the country instead. She fell in love in one movie, was caught in a love triangle in her second, and in the third, she’s dealing with heartbreak! Well, not specifically of the romantic kind, but academic, since the big twist here is that after all of her and Peter’s planning, she doesn’t get into Stanford with him. Jackson McHenry: What a journey we’ve been on with Lara Jean.
