The TSITP movie is being made at a time where more of Gen Z is being introduced to Michael Jackson's music. The Michael movie is a huge success money maker. The demographic and its primary viewership is part of the millennial age. Millennials were being born at the height of Jackson's career and then most likely growing up on his music. Jenny Han is a Millennial. TSITP has already used a Jackson 5 song in the highest viewed and much loved episode, "Last Dance." With all of this in mind and thinking about the TSITP movie, I just can't wait to see. I was wondering what possible songs of Jackson's could be in the movie? The series spent a lot of money on music. Taylor Swift songs are obvious to be in the film. I am curious if there are any Michael Jackson fans that can speculate, wish, or suggest a song for the film. What would it be? Will You Be There is my personal favorite.

Happily -1D
False God - Taylor swift
Lover - Taylor swift …..
Give me you’ll guesses of what songs you’ll want 🥰🥰🥰🥰

My friend recommended this series to me last week, and I ended up binging it pretty quickly. I’ve always loved heartfelt family dramas and youthful romance stories set in summer vibes, similar to Never Have I Ever and 13 Reasons Why. Overall, I’d rate this show 6 out of 10.

Below are my thoughts along with my friend’s opinions. This is just our personal viewing perspective from Chinese viewers, so please take it lightly and no hard feelings!

1. I adore all the mother characters in the show, even Taylor’s mom. They all live fulfilling lives of their own instead of centering their whole world around their children, which stands in huge contrast to how my parents live. Laurel is undoubtedly the most impressive figure among them. She devotes plenty of care to young people while still respecting their personal boundaries, and she sticks firmly to her own principles.
2. I still cannot understand why Belly was so eager to marry Jeremiah. Maybe I am too grown-up to relate to teenage mindsets. The two are still quite young, and their wedding funds all come from Jeremiah’s father. They never seem to realize the problem with this situation, nor do they have stable foundations for their future. Their life ahead remains full of uncertainty. Is it because the American social welfare brings them a sense of security**？（**If so i am so jealous) I would weigh countless matters before getting married. At the very least, couples ought to become financially independent first.
3. Susanna is such a kind and noble woman. She treats everyone around her with tenderness and sincere love, and she possesses an incredibly resilient mind. She acts like the glue holding this big family together and serves as the spiritual pillar of everyone. Belly, however, won't become another Susanna. She Is the one who always take but not give. She has a long way to go.
4. Many teen dramas set up two typical love interests for the female lead. My friend and I classify them into two types: Candy in shit flavor / Shit in Candy flavor. I won’t go into further details here haha.
5. My friend and I are huge fans of the summer atmosphere depicted in The Summer I Turned Pretty. The scenes feel warm, tranquil and refreshing all the way through.

Huge Jeremiah fan. Know how it ends. Can I just ignore season 3? 😂😂😂

Does anyone else miss the feeling of waiting all week for a new episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty?

There was just something about the weekly releases during summer that made it feel like an actual event. Everyone freaking out over previews, making theories, arguing on twitter over Connie & Jere, the edits on TikTok, the music choices… it genuinely felt exciting in a way I haven’t experienced with a show in a long time.

I’ve tried rewatching it because I miss that feeling so much, but it weirdly doesn’t hit the same. I still love the show and am looking forward to the movie, but the anticipation and community around the weekly episodes was such a huge part of it. Like half the magic was being in it while it was happening.

Ever since then I haven’t really found another show that gives that same excitement vibe. Maybe I’m just chasing the feeling at this point lol.

I need recommendations for youtube channels who've reacted to tsitp and appreciated Conrad? I'm somehow finding ones who aren't? Help please.

I already found ‘Watch What Happens Next’ and ‘Reel Time’. Though the show drove her crazy, ‘netflix party’ didn’t completely hate on it or Connie. Anyone else who actually enjoyed the show on youtube?

EDIT: On Brad Evans reaction to Season 1, he asked if he should do Season 2. He needs to hear from us though! You know what to do!! He despises Jeremiah btw! 😂

I watched TSITP twice just because I feel like im being actively gaslit by this sub. I still cannot believe how we all watched the same thing and majority of yall walked out believing Bonrad is in any type of way romantic. They both are the most batshit, selfish, manipulative, backstabbing ppl who lack any sort of morality, tact or respect.

I’m not even team Beremiah (??). Literally just Jeremiah. “Jeremiah is a cheater tho.” See this one argument summarizes exactly what in my opinion is so insane about the fandom. Jeremiah is judged for mistakes the other two also did. Or they did something else that morally is as bad. I’m going to reply to that comment, which encompasses why I I am team Jeremiah.

Conrad is a confirmed cheater too (S1) and Belly not only emotionally cheated during that Christmas moment with Conrad in S3, she kissed Conrad a week after she started things with Jeremiah S1 which morally is only a hair away from cheating.

Imagine youve been absolutely in love with a guy. After years, they tell you they definitely 100% only want you, promising you repeatedly that their crush on your older sister is DEFINITELY a past childhood obsession. They work to make u believe it too. You finally let yourself feel and relent, ur now in a relationship. Only for your dckwad sister to realize theyre abt to lose them, so they kiss them and they actually give in and start a relationship right then and there knowing damn well they just convinced YOU to be in a relationship, and that said crush was an irrelevant past. They cheat on you but all this is supposed to be romantic btw.

Surprise surprise older sister who has BEEN a dickwad to literally everyone include cheating on your now cheating ex, and being horrific to your dying mother and you (also hurting just as much, prob need your big sister). Cheating-ex breaks up with them, its a whole thing, they run back to you and yet again tell you they only want you. Theyre in love with you, they have woken up, they only want a future with you yadayada yada. You tell them VERBATIM “Listen last time u said that u kissed my sister a week later. No hard feelings. But if u kinda still want my sister or have feelings left, just be together. Dont do this to me again.” They go the DISTANCE to convince you “I swear I aint pulling that stunt again pls”. You again (bcs theyre working u bad and ur deeply in love), relent.

FOUR LONG YEARS they hide that, in fact the feelings for her are still there😃, they are NOT gone, ur just hiding them which is easy given that after your moms death ur own sister basically ghosted them AND you. Your sisters feelings for your boyfriend btw also never faded in fact got stronger btw. So two in love ppl, mind you. And after 4 years, they by accident meet at your vacation house. And they spend time ALONE together for several days, sharing DEEPLY INTIMATE, romantically THICKKK physical touches and emotionally intimate long moments. The long intentional staring in the eyes, your boyfriend basically breathing in her breath. Slight physical touches they both know stop them in their tracks. Like genuinely the definition of emotional cheating while they both KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE VIBE IS. And when you ask, “how was ur solo vacay at the beach house” they not only say it was uneventful, your boyfriend makes it a point not to tell you your older sister was there. He makes it a point to tell you he was ALONE. Knowing damn well, shes the ONE person you are weary of, he’s still in love with, had all those moments with. Bcs he knows damn well what he has to confess to if he says your older sister was there. Hence the conscious decision to lie.

And im not even gonna make you all imagine if after all that, the day before the wedding your own flesh and blood ruins and humiliates you at your own wedding by attempting to take your man. All bcs YET AGAIN she only wants him when hes abt to move on. Four years and THATS the time and place she’s pick. In itself such a sickening manipulative move. But the idea that your own man would entertain it yet still want to marry you bcs he want his cake and eat it too? Like THAT SELFISH???

Yall, Belly is a fucking cheat and Conrad is a sibling backstabbing, manipulative bastard. Compared to all that, what Jeremiah did was not enough. Make it four times damn it. DOUBLE IT AND DO IT AGAIN!!!

Hi all, now that we have seen a few of the leaks, I have been so inspired to listen to beachy love songs. Do y'all have any songs in mind that you think will be in the movie? We should make a playlist together!
