“Those are always my favorite kinds of Korean dramas,” Han told The Lily. Characters “are set on a path, and [they think] that they understand how the story’s going to go.” The audience knows the characters are only fooling themselves. Somewhere along the line, the story is upended, much like when Lara Jean and Peter realize they have real feelings for each other.

Everyone can relate to feeling “behind” in life and being uncomfortable with change, as Lara Jean is when her older sister, Margot, first goes to college. Later, she deals with her father entering a new relationship years after her mother’s death and contemplates what will happen when she goes to college herself.
