Lara Jean finally has what the characters in her beloved romance novels have, until childhood crush and recipient of one of her original love letters, John Ambrose McClaren, shows up and knocks her right off her feet. They’re going on fancy dates, sending paper lanterns emblazoned with their initials into the night sky, and promising to not break each other’s heart. I Still Love You picks up soon after the events of the first movie, with Lana’s Lara Jean and Noah Centineo’s Peter Kavinsky finally actually dating following their sham relationship. Given the additional resources this time around, Lana teases, “your wardrobe is heightened, your beauty is heightened, everything.” On February 12, fans will see Lana reprise her role as Lara Jean Song-Covey in one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of 2020. When they shot the first To All the Boys movie, it was on a shoestring budget, with no concrete plans for whether it would be released in theaters or on a streaming service, much less become one of Netflix’s most rewatched movies of the year. That’s when she started to work pretty consistently, full-on committed to performing. It took her nine months to nab another job, Patriots Day. Having caught the acting bug, she deferred from college to try acting for a year. They chose California, where she graduated early from high school and booked a role as the firework-slinging Jubilee in the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse. When her father got a job in Los Angeles, he gave the family a choice of staying in New York or heading back to the west coast. Throughout Lana’s childhood she studied ballet at storied institutions, including Joffrey Ballet and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
