00:11It's been two days since Mino and I crashed and burned.
00:15At least I think it's been two days.
00:18I've lost all track of time.
00:20I now measure the day and the number of times I look at photos of us when we were happy.
00:24Or the number of texts I've sent that he's ignored.
00:28Or my personal favorite by counting all the things that I could have done differently.
00:34Maybe I should just go home.
00:36No one hates me at home.
00:43God, I can almost smell Lara Jean's famous chocolate chip cookies.
00:51Wait, I actually can smell LJ's famous chocolate chip cookies.
01:02What?
01:04Hello?
01:06Hi, sister.
01:11Oh, I can't believe it.
01:18Tell me everything.
01:20After you take a shower.
01:22That's mean.
01:23I'm very fragile right now.
01:27Good lord, I am right.
01:30I'm so sorry.
01:32It's okay.
01:32I'm gonna deal with it right now.
01:42And then I fully accused Mino of getting Eunice pregnant.
01:46Okay, that's not great.
01:48No.
01:49Um, but isn't this whole thing just like a big misunderstanding?
01:52Sure.
01:53One that proves he should be with somebody else.
01:55Someone unlike me.
01:57What's that supposed to mean?
01:59I don't know.
02:00I've just, I've always thought maybe he'd want someone more in his world.
02:04Like a K-pop star.
02:06Okay.
02:07If that fool can't see how awesome you are, then he needs, like, LASIK.
02:11But I should have trusted him.
02:13Hey, didn't he lie to you about where he was that night?
02:16And, and about the necklace?
02:17Only because he was trying to be a good friend to Eunice.
02:20The way our mom was to Yuri's mom back in the day.
02:22And he should have trusted you.
02:24I don't even trust myself right now.
02:26Like, I was wrong about Jiwon and Alex being a match.
02:29And then I messed up my entire friendship with Q in a stupid blurt.
02:33Okay, stop acting like your life is over.
02:36Stop it.
02:36You still have plenty of time left in your senior year.
02:40And then you're coming to New York with me.
02:43Speaking of which, how is your NYU essay going?
02:46Not great.
02:47Wait, what?
02:48When are the early admissions apps due?
02:51Ah, something like if I do the time change.
02:55I'm at like 12 hours.
02:57Kitty!
02:58We talked about applying early being your best chance at getting in.
03:02I know, but the essay prompt is impossible.
03:04Who are you?
03:05Hello?
03:06I don't know or even like who I am right now.
03:08Okay.
03:09Your pity party is over.
03:11I had the entire summer to show you my New York.
03:14And you have like less than 24 hours to show me your soul.
03:18And I texted Jiwon and she's meeting us for lunch.
03:20Okay.
03:21Fine.
03:22I can handle that.
03:23Because for a second I thought you were going to make me write that essay.
03:25Oh no, yeah.
03:26I'm totally going to make you write that essay.
03:28But first we have to get your head on right.
03:30So let's go.
03:30Okay.
03:33You're pretty good tonight.
03:35You're pretty good tonight.
03:38You��요.
03:40I don't know what you're doing.
03:43I don't know what you're doing.
03:44I'm afraid of you.
03:46But when you're working on career,
03:51it's like a lot of anxiety.
03:56I have no life without people,
04:00I have to show you everything.
04:02I'm so tired.
04:29You were a great manager to me, but I ain't even better fan.
04:36Are you crazy? She's blowing up the charts. You have to hold her to a contract.
04:41I can't do that, Dad.
04:42You're just my friend.
04:43This is just not right.
04:45Then you're not right for this job.
04:47I wanted to believe you had what it takes.
04:49But clearly you don't.
04:51You're fired.
05:00Sorry again for all the drama at your dad's restaurant.
05:02Oh, no worries.
05:04I'm sorry that Jin punched you.
05:06Did you figure out what you're going to do about this situation?
05:09Let's see.
05:10Jin's ignoring me when I need to talk to him.
05:13And Marius, who normally leans strongly towards asshole, left me a really nice gift.
05:19See my dilemma?
05:22Kitty just got broken up with, too.
05:24I'm sure she's down to talk.
05:25She's done enough talking.
05:27It's her big mouth that got me in this mess.
05:29Yeah.
05:31What do you think I should do?
05:34You want to talk feelings with me?
05:38Yeah.
05:42Were you happy with Jin?
05:44I mean, I thought I was.
05:46But part of me is wondering if maybe I went all in on Jin because I was nervous to admit
05:50what I had with Marius.
05:52Hmm.
05:57Oh, it's my turn again.
06:01Well, if Kitty had never come to kiss,
06:05I'd have to spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been.
06:10Right.
06:12Can't know what's at the end of the road unless you go down it.
06:16Exactly.
06:17Wade.
06:19Am I good at this?
06:24Yes.
06:25Ah, yes, yes.
06:27Yes.
06:28Actually, I'm a designer designer for you.
06:31Hello?
06:31Isu is craving impossible again, huh?
06:34There's a reason that's the name of the restaurant.
06:36Yeah, tell me about it.
06:38I love this.
06:40Who designed it?
06:41That would be me.
06:43I thrifted the ties and turned them into this.
06:45You're submitting your designs to the contest, right?
06:47Me?
06:48No, I'm just an assistant.
06:50So?
06:51Everyone who submits is an up-and-comer.
06:53I wouldn't even know where to begin.
06:54Try a pencil and paper.
06:57You're talented, Yuri.
06:59Do you want to make dinner reservations for the rest of your life?
07:03Ready to go?
07:04Yeah, let me go grab my stuff.
07:07Um, is this a date with Gigi Nuna?
07:11No.
07:13First Kitty and now you.
07:15Does everyone think I'm just a miserable player?
07:17No, I don't think that.
07:19I know how much you care about Kitty.
07:21I'm really sorry about what happened between you two.
07:23I feel really bad.
07:25Like, I got her all worked up and I...
07:26You didn't make her accuse me of cheating.
07:29We're getting Eunice pregnant.
07:31That was all her.
07:32Valid.
07:33But for what it's worth, she feels terrible.
07:37It is what it is.
07:38Ready?
07:48I can't believe how well you know Seoul.
07:50It's such a great city, isn't it?
07:52And the shopping?
07:54I got tech for dad,
07:55Oslox tea for Trina,
07:56and PDRN cream for Marco.
07:58I also saw you got character socks.
08:01And I know who those are for.
08:03Does that mean...
08:05We are not back together.
08:06But Peter is coming to New York.
08:08Just to talk.
08:10Because we are still 5,000 miles apart.
08:12Literally.
08:13And emotionally.
08:15Well, I'm not going to give up hope.
08:16I know you two are endgame.
08:19I don't know about that,
08:20but I will keep you posted.
08:28This is a pleasant surprise.
08:31How's the eye?
08:33It's healing.
08:35Thank you for the flowers.
08:38That was...
08:39thoughtful.
08:40Of course.
08:43Look, I think we should talk...
08:46about what you told me the other night.
08:48How you...
08:50came back to kiss.
08:51For me.
08:52And I know that was a lot.
08:54And I definitely overstepped.
08:56If you're having a boyfriend.
08:57Dad.
08:59I...
09:00Actually, I don't...
09:01I don't even know what Jin and I are right now.
09:04Well...
09:05I was just going to go on a ride.
09:09If...
09:10If you're down.
09:17What does it feel like
09:19I don't want to...
09:22I don't want to...
09:49I can't draw to save my own life.
09:51I can draw, remember?
09:53I'm down to help.
09:54You'd do that for me.
09:55Oh, thank you.
10:00So, Yuri, are you excited for tonight?
10:03I've never been on a blind date before,
10:05but it was sweet of you to set me up.
10:08What now?
10:08You remember Sophie?
10:10She's one of the DJs over at Sugar Bar.
10:12I think her and Yuri will really hit it off.
10:15Yeah, totally.
10:16I think I know what I'm wearing, but help me with my makeup?
10:21Absolutely.
10:22I'm thinking a neutral shadow.
10:24Probably pink.
10:25Oh, yes.
10:25Love that.
10:26So, you work for a book editor?
10:28I'm an editorial assistant.
10:30For now.
10:31She wants to be a writer,
10:32and she's working on her first novel, and it's amazing.
10:34I don't know about that, but I did finally finish it.
10:38Yeah, it's the upside of being single.
10:40I've got lots more free time.
10:42Well, are you going to show it to your boss?
10:44Oh, no, God, no.
10:45I am too scared to see what she's going to think.
10:48Hi.
10:49Hi.
10:50Welcome.
10:51What do you want to eat?
10:52Oh, um, kimchi, mandu one, bajeon one.
10:56Uh, are you good with beef tartare?
10:58Mm?
10:59Uh, could you go yukwe bibimbap three pieces?
11:02Oh, no.
11:03That yukwe bibimbap two pieces.
11:04Oh, that yukwe bibimbap two pieces?
11:06Yes, thank you.
11:07Okay.
11:08But you love yukwe.
11:10I'm not eating raw foods.
11:11Oh, my boss is so afraid of salmonella.
11:13She's pregnant, so she can't really eat any of the stuff.
11:20Your Korean is getting really good, Kitty.
11:22I'm jealous.
11:25Um, so Kitty says that you're an amazing teacher.
11:28I bet your homony is so, so proud.
11:31Mm-hmm.
11:33Excuse me.
11:34I need to go to the bathroom again.
11:38She and emo homony aren't really speaking right now.
11:40Oh.
11:42But she doesn't normally get that emotional.
11:44Mm, I get it.
11:45My boss, she just, like, cries at a drop of a hat.
11:48Mm.
11:49You're pregnant, boss?
11:51Mm.
11:51Oh, my God.
11:52What?
11:53Part of the reason why I thought Eunice was pregnant
11:55was because Yuri and I found a positive pregnancy test at Shusok.
11:58And Eunice was never pregnant.
12:00Mm-hmm.
12:00No.
12:05I can't tell if that was terrifying or exhilarating.
12:09No, I aim to please.
12:11Could you guess where I was taking you?
12:13Yeah, our old spot.
12:15Unless you take all your sneaky links down here.
12:18We've had lots of good hangs here.
12:21But that doesn't all have to be in the past.
12:25I want another chance.
12:29With you.
12:39I'm sorry, was it Yuri?
12:41No.
12:44Do you remember the last time you brought me here?
12:47Of course.
12:48Or something with you.
12:50Last day.
12:53I remember asking you if we could be a real couple.
12:57You made me believe that we could.
13:00And then you ghosted me.
13:02But I came back.
13:04And I came back for you.
13:06I've changed Q.
13:08Yeah.
13:10When you were finally ready.
13:12Even though I had a boyfriend.
13:15Not everything can be on your timeline.
13:20Things are different now.
13:22I've changed too.
13:26And a lot of that is because of Jin.
13:29So that's it then?
13:32You're not even gonna try?
13:35We've been down this road before.
13:39This is where it ends.
13:50You seriously thought I'd enjoy this?
13:54Can we take a break?
13:56My hands are gonna need a powerful dip after this.
13:58Aww.
13:59If your nail breaks, you can bill me for the manicure.
14:01Forget the bill.
14:02I don't think I can make it to the top.
14:04That's why I brought you here.
14:06I heard about what happened with your dad.
14:08Yeah.
14:08It just felt nice to have him believe in me for a change.
14:11He should.
14:13You are a good person, you know?
14:15Tell that to Kitty.
14:16Oh, so you still care what she thinks.
14:18I just can't get past it.
14:21The trust thing.
14:22She said she was in her own head, worried she didn't fit in my world.
14:26But I never made her feel like that.
14:29It doesn't mean she didn't feel that way.
14:32Your whole world is intimidating.
14:35Red carpets, K-pop stars.
14:38I mean, your own dad just fired you.
14:41True.
14:42Look, I don't know what to do about you and Kitty,
14:43but I do know that you don't need to take the path set out for you by your dad.
14:47Alright.
14:49Then what?
14:50I mean, you produced the hell out of Eunice's music video.
14:54Maybe your talents are bigger than just controlling artists' lives.
14:58Maybe.
14:59But without my dad's support, it'd be pretty hard to make it.
15:02You know, it's easy to take the obvious path.
15:05But the riskier one is way more satisfying.
15:11Wanna give it a go?
15:15No.
15:16Alright.
15:17No, I cannot get involved, LJ.
15:20I have overstepped so many times this semester.
15:22If I do it one more time, G1 might never speak to me again.
15:25No, okay, Kitty.
15:26I know you're better than anyone else in the world.
15:27You are a good person, with good intentions.
15:30And G1 might really need your help right now.
15:32Help with what?
15:40I found a positive pregnancy test at Chisak, and we think that it might be yours, and you don't have
15:43to say if it was, but we want you to know that we are here for you if it was
15:45or if it wasn't.
15:54What am I going to do?
15:57My harmony and I fought so hard for me to get here, and instead of proving I could handle myself,
16:03I got pregnant, and now I've ruined my life, and his too.
16:08No, you have not ruined anything.
16:11Have you told the father?
16:13An unplanned pregnancy will be extra triggering for him because...
16:18Because he was unplanned himself.
16:23It's Alex, isn't it?
16:31We met at summer orientation, and I wasn't into him at first.
16:36He's so earnest, and that accent.
16:40But I love him.
16:43This is wonderful.
16:45But his dad is my boss, and we couldn't get caught, so we kept it secret and played up that
16:51we didn't get along.
16:53I'm so sorry, Kitty.
16:56No, I've been such a hypocrite.
16:58No.
16:59I was so hard on you for focusing on a boy when I was busy focusing on my own romance.
17:05No.
17:07It's okay.
17:08I know this is scary right now, but if I have learned one thing about you this semester,
17:14it's that you are brilliant and so strong.
17:21And honestly, you're a total baddie.
17:24And I'm sure that's why Alex fell for you.
17:28And I know he's gonna be there for you.
17:32And we're gonna be there too.
17:44Thanks.
17:47Hey.
17:49What's going on?
17:50You've seemed off all day.
17:52Right.
17:55Okay.
17:56Um, I wanna be mature about this.
18:01You setting my ex up on dates is just...
18:04weird.
18:09Because you still have feelings for her.
18:12No, no, no, no. I just...
18:17Yuri was my first love.
18:20And I think that I'm always gonna care about her.
18:24I'm sorry. I'm just... I'm trying to be honest.
18:26I know you are.
18:28I'm glad we're being honest.
18:31That's the healthiest way to break up.
18:33What?
18:34No, I thought we were being, like, evolved here.
18:36I didn't say that I wanted to break up with you.
18:38Look,
18:39I deserve to be with someone
18:42who's excited to see me every time I walk into a room.
18:46The way you are when you see Yuri.
18:49Maybe...
18:49I was setting Yuri up because...
18:52deep down I...
18:54knew you felt this way and...
18:57I didn't want her to be available.
19:00But...
19:02if I'm feeling insecure...
19:05and...
19:06you're feeling...
19:08a little bit... jealous...
19:12maybe we're doing something wrong here.
19:24Let's go.
19:25Here's what you're doing.
19:26What did you do?
19:27I just gave my email to their...
19:29and...
19:30I'm going to get it.
19:33Really?
19:34You're going to get it?
19:36What is it?
19:38I don't think...
19:40you have to worry about it.
19:45I'm looking for money.
19:46I didn't think I was going to think about it.
19:51He told me you had a dream for me.
19:57A dream?
19:58A dream?
19:59Yes.
20:01I was in the same way, but...
20:03I was like...
20:04I don't think so.
20:05Is it music?
20:07How did you know?
20:09You were in the last year when you were sitting there,
20:11you were really good at it.
20:15I was thinking about it.
20:17I was thinking about it.
20:20It's fun to make it?
20:23It's fun to be.
20:25But it's not fun to be.
20:26It's fun to be.
20:27It's fun to be.
20:29How do you feel?
20:31It's fun to be?
20:38I'm sorry.
20:44Okay.
20:46She's telling him.
20:55Wow.
20:57To think Mom set up Jiwon's parents all those years ago.
21:01And now you're bringing Jiwon and Alex back together.
21:06I think if Mom could see you now, she'd be so proud of you.
21:10I know I am.
21:12Do you really mean that?
21:15Kitty, at 16, you flew across the world.
21:19You learned a new language and you built a rich life for yourself and soul.
21:26How can you not see how amazing that is?
21:29I mean, it's what you did when you went to New York.
21:33God, no.
21:34It was so hard for me to go.
21:36I mean, I had never been on my own because I'd always had my sisters.
21:40I was so scared to put myself out there, but not you.
21:45You're the brave one.
21:46The leaps that you take and the lengths that you go to for others.
21:53That's what makes you you.
21:54And your heart is always in the right place.
21:58Thank you, sister.
22:09Who am I?
22:10For better or worse, I'm someone who's not afraid to take a leap.
22:13When I'm lucky, I find Annette there to catch me.
22:17Like my incredible family who's always there for me.
22:21But even when I've made mistakes and fallen, I've been stretched.
22:28Stretched by an amazing city that I will forever consider a second home.
22:32It's taught me things I never knew I needed to learn.
22:35Like how to show up for people when they need me.
22:39How to be open to unexpected relationships.
22:44Or how to pivot when relationships turn out to be different than I expected.
23:00It takes courage to leap.
23:02But it also takes courage to pick yourself up when you fall and keep going.
23:06To grow.
23:08But that's exactly what I intend to do.
23:10Because I know there is so much more of myself to discover.
23:14I'm not done leaping yet.
23:16I'm barely getting started.
23:26I love it, kitty.
23:27If this doesn't get you in, they are fools.
23:32For everything.
23:33Okay.
23:35Okay.
23:37Here we go.
23:49Hello.
23:50What's wrong?
23:53Early decision feels so binding.
23:59Like if I do get in, then I'm going to NYU next year.
24:07I thought that's what you wanted.
24:09Yeah, I love NYU and I would be so excited to go to New York and be closer to you
24:14and home.
24:15But soul has become such a big part of me.
24:20And I can imagine myself staying here too.
24:22I get that.
24:24I mean, you've built a whole life for yourself here.
24:31And Minos here.
24:36I would be lying if I didn't say a part of me still hopes we work out.
24:49Still hopes that we're endgame.
24:54The way I know you and Peter are.
25:00I don't know what's going to happen between you and Minos.
25:04I don't know what's going to happen between me and Peter.
25:08But we can't just stop living our lives.
25:12I think that we have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great
25:18adventure.
25:28Okay, here goes nothing.
25:37I love you.
25:39I love you, Kitty.
25:46Hi, sorry I'm late.
25:48I hope you weren't working too hard without me.
25:50Not too hard.
25:51How did your date with Sophie go?
25:53Not bad.
25:54Yeah.
25:54She asked me out again.
25:57You gonna go?
25:57Yeah.
25:58She's nice.
26:00And your girlfriend has good taste.
26:02But we already knew that.
26:06That's great.
26:07I'm happy for you.
26:09So show me what you've been working on.
26:11Do you remember?
26:13This one.
26:14Wait, no.
26:16You fixed Spongebob.
26:17A little tweaking.
26:18What is your vision?
26:19It's so good.
26:22Just hear me out.
26:24Please.
26:33This summer, I was confused.
26:36It was before you visited me and I was lonely at USC.
26:42And...
26:42I slipped.
26:45But I'm not confused anymore, Jin.
26:49You...
26:51You are my person.
26:55Can we please start over?
26:58Maybe...
27:00We can talk about what that would look like.
27:02As long as there are no more secrets between us.
27:04I promise.
27:06I took the time to go down that road with Marius.
27:09But...
27:09The choice is clear.
27:10I choose you.
27:11Down the road?
27:13What does that mean?
27:14Nothing.
27:14We...
27:16We rode to our old spot.
27:18But let me finish.
27:19That place, it...
27:21It made me realize that you were the one that I want.
27:24Q, I didn't need to spend time with someone else
27:27or go on some romantic motorcycle ride to know you were the one.
27:29I know.
27:30And I'm sorry.
27:30No, I changed who I was for you.
27:33I used to be the guy who wouldn't let anyone in, but I trusted you and I let you in.
27:39I'll never make that mistake again.
27:48I wish you could stay longer.
27:50Me too.
27:50But I have to get back before my boss realizes that I do not have neurovirus.
27:54And you have to get to Korean Lit.
27:56You know, you could distract your boss by sending her your manuscript.
28:02I already did.
28:03Wait, what?
28:04Are you serious?
28:05Yeah.
28:07I sent it last night.
28:08I feel like I was just so scared, you know, to do it because, like, everything would just become so
28:14real.
28:16Like, the future, New York, and I really do not know what the future holds for Peter and I.
28:25But I can't not bet on myself.
28:30And that is why you are the perfect role model.
28:33I can't believe I'm going to be related to a New York Times bestselling author.
28:38I love you, Kitty.
28:40I love you too, LJ.
28:42But please don't make me fly all the way across the world to fix your life again.
28:45I'll try my best.
28:48Okay.
28:48You're going to be late.
28:49Go, go.
28:50You're going to be late.
28:51Go, go, go.
29:00Yeah, um...
29:01Why don't you go ahead?
29:02I'll catch up.
29:08Lara Jean?
29:10Hey, Mina.
29:14How's Kitty?
29:17How's Kitty?
29:18Honestly...
29:20She's great.
29:22You know, I thought I was coming here to help her.
29:24And as it turns out, at the end of this, she was the one who inspired me.
29:29She's a really great person to have in your corner.
29:32Yeah.
29:35She really is.
29:37Just don't forget that.
29:41Oh, let me get that for you.
29:54Holy and silence, and that fell for you.
30:01Wayne and sugar kindness, and that fell for you.
30:09We need you.
30:11What needs to be touched?
30:12And I could tell you.
30:17Sickness had enough.
30:25Hold me in silence, and I felt for you.
30:36But you needed to be touched
30:43And I could tell you
30:49Sickness had enough
31:29Sickness had enough
31:58Sickness had enough
32:28Sickness had enough
32:58Sickness had enough
33:07You
