The follow-up to the wildly successful (one of the) pioneer of making movies straight to streaming release look cool, PS. I Still Love You covers the ups and downs of Lara Jean's first time being a girlfriend, and to the school's heartthrob Peter Kavinsky nonetheless. Heavy is the head that wears the crown as quoted by her friend and having to deal with insecurities such as Peter's ex which also happens to be her ex-best friend is messing with her, failing to see what's right in front of her. Seeking refuge elsewhere, she gets a response to one of the five letters that her sister sent out which started this whole thing, making it more confusing for her when recipient number three confesses her feelings for her. As if the first two months of 2020 haven't been stressful enough, we all need to know who will she end up with.
Lana Condor is back as Lara Jean, whom we almost lost out to Star Wars whose role eventually went to Kelly Marie Tran. Noah Centineo is also onboard continuing his journey as Peter Kavinsky, penultimate Internet Boyfriend and joining them is Jordan Fisher as John Ambrose McClaren who I remember being caucasian in the first installment. A solid supporting cast is there most notably John Corbett as daddy Covey (if you haven't, check him out in Sex and the City) and Ross Butler (Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why) who I don't know why he was even there in the first place, most probably to fulfill his Netflix contract.
So how does PS compare to To All The Boys? Unfortunately, it pales in comparison and it was less charming as the first one. Yes, there were still cute moments from time to time, and the problem might be that we're still in love with the couple and to force a "third party" to get conflict was too soon. Maybe the way John Ambrose was written also did not sell enough the idea of why we should possibly choose him over Peter, to the point that they had to mislead all of us that PK was bad for LJ just to prop up JA. I mean we did not wait for a year to see less screen time for Peter who let's face it, we love more than Noah Centineo himself. Fortunately, he's a shoo-in for the last installment, curls and all, reportedly out by the end of this year. Lana Condor said it's the most mature of the three movies, having to make decisions for college and beyond. Netflix I swear if they break up, we riot.
