JAKARTA - The film To All The Boys: PS I Still Love You today, Wednesday, February 12, will be broadcast simultaneously on the Netflix streaming service. The second part of the storytelling in this film is taken from the novel by Jenny Han, continuing the first part that unites Lara Jean with her ideal man, Peter Kavinsky.
To All The Boys: PS I Still Love You tells the story of Lara Jean (Lana Condor) who lives a school life with her boyfriend Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo). Like two teenagers who are drunk in love, they plan to celebrate Valentine's Day together. However, before anything happens, Lara Jean meets her ex-crush, John Ambrose again.
An incident brought together Lara Jean and John Ambrose, who were both volunteers before submitting college forms. On the other hand, Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky's relationship becomes loose when Lara Jean feels the shadow of Peter's ex-girlfriend, Gen (Emilija Baranoc) continues to haunt her. This made Lara Jean sad and chose to end her relationship with Peter Kavinsky.
If the previous film, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, presents the excitement of the romance between these two teenagers, then the excitement of the sequel will be doubled. This can be felt from the chemistry of Lana Condor and Noah Centineo which is so sweet and adorable. Both are the best elements of this film so it is difficult to replace their roles.
To All The Boys: PS I Still Love You has all the requirements of a romantic comedy film in general. Sweet plot, lovable characters, attractive color tone selection and soundtrack that supports the storyline. This time, the soundtrack was filled with indie numbers such as MARINA and Reem.
Meanwhile, even though it was not a soundtrack, the song Ocean Eyes, which was delivered in an acapella version in one of the scenes, also sounded catchy.
Although this film is no longer directed by Susan Johnson, in fact Michael Fimognari is able to control a romantic film. He also directed the final part of this film, entitled To All The Boys: Always and Forever, Lara Jean.
Back to the second film. The story of this film is also associated with family, friendship, and romance. The feeling of the presence of new people is the main problem in this film. Whether it's about prejudice or feeling isolated, it's all mixed up in Lara Jean's mind. Even though he couldn't process all of that, there was always the answer: open communication.
Jordan Fisher as John Ambrose appears to be a kind-hearted man who only wants to meet Lara Jean. Even though he was placed as the second man, it felt difficult for the audience to hate this man because he was not so mean to Lara Jean.

The Korean side that is in Lara Jean's genes is also presented a little bigger than before where she appears wearing hanbok (traditional Korean dress) and attending family events.
Unfortunately, several times Lara Jean's narration sounds too long, so it seems wordy. However, that doesn't interfere with the overall storyline. There is only sweetness after watching the end of the love story of Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky.
To All The Boys: PS I Still Love You was released to celebrate Valentine's Day. While the third and final part of this film, To All The Boys: Always and Forever, Lara Jean has finished the production process, but there has been no news regarding the broadcast schedule.
