Plot
Lara Jean Song-Covey, accompanied by her sisters, Kitty and Margot; her father, Dan; and her neighbor and father's girlfriend Trina Rothschild, visits Seoul for spring break. She reconnects with the memory of her mother by searching for a lock her mother had left on a bridge to memorialize her love for Dan. They finally manage to read her accompanying message, which says "for the rest of my life."
Returning home, Lara Jean mentions to her boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky, that the two of them never had a meet-cute, to Peter's surprise, as he remembers their first meeting quite well. They do not have a song either, so he starts brainstorming songs. Lara Jean nervously waits for the result of her Stanford University application so she can attend college with Peter. She has also applied to the University of California, Berkeley and NYU.
