The season of love is coming! Prepare your chocolates, your love letters, and confessions, for Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away. And what better way to celebrate than immersing yourself in the world of love by watching Jenny Han’s ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.’ A coming-of-age story where a young girl finds out that the love letters she’s secretly written to all her crushes have been mailed out, this is a great romance film, but even greater if there were a K-drama version of it. So come and check out which ten celebrities would fit the roles within this film.
1. BTS's Jungkook as Peter Kavinsky
The male lead within the film, Peter Kavinsky, is charming, confident, playful, and soft-hearted. The most popular guy in school, he’s the one that everyone wants to be friends with. He’s romantic, protective, and once he sets his eyes on something, you can be assured that his loyalty will be unwavering. An all-rounder, BTS's Jungkook would definitely be Peter Kavinsky. Especially with the fact of just how romantic at heart he is, and his ability to be able to zone in and put his full dedication and heart into his goals.
2. ZEROBASEONE's Hanbin as Josh Sanderson
The ultimate boy next door, also the former boyfriend of Lara Jean’s sister, Margot. As all boy-next-door are, he’s giving all sorts of golden retriever energy. He’s sweet, dependable, and although a bit reserved, it just comes to show that when he truly opens his heart to you, he trusts you until the end. And as all good relationships go, trust is a big factor that one needs to take into consideration. Nonetheless, ZEROBASEONE’s Hanbin is the perfect fill-in for Josh Sanderson. The ultimate boy-next-door, Hanbin, is the epitome of golden retriever crush. Sweet and dependable, he’s always looking out for others before himself, which makes you fall in love with him even more.
3. BTS's Jin as Josh Ambrose McClaren
Now, some people may not like Josh Ambrose because he may come off as someone who is too arrogant for himself. And while he is one of the more preppy side of things, he’s quite well educated, he’s polite, smart, and clean cut. A more mature character in comparison to his age, and definitely one who is ambitious in the world of academics. Considering that BTS Jin had to take care of six younger brothers, BTS Jin gives off that air of elegance. In addition, on multiple occasions, we’ve seen just how well-mannered and well-educated he is.
4. Hyun Bin as Dr. Daniel Covey
Also known as the father figure in the film, Dr. Daniel Covey is a single parent doing all he can to make sure that his daughters make the most of their lives. Emotionally grounded, despite the fact that he’s having to navigate the lives of three children on his own, he’s quiet but is the one willing to provide meaningful advice on love and relationships. Granted, sometimes the advice he gives can be slightly awkward, but that’s the charm! Now, a real-life father, Hyun Bin knows what it takes to be a dad. Additionally, with his calm persona, Hyun Bin just seems like the perfect actor to play the role of Dr. Daniel Covey.
5. Kim Hye Yoon as Lara Jean
The center of it all, Lara Jean, is an optimistic romantic. Although on the outside she’s someone who keeps fairly to herself, upon learning that her secret love letters have been mailed out, she starts to break out of her shell. Learning what it means to develop new and meaningful relationships both romantically and platonically. Kim Hye Yoon has that burst of youthful energy that fits so well with Lara Jean's character. I mean, we've all seen how wonderfully she portrayed a high schooler in 'Extraordinary You,' and even within 'Lovely Runner.' She's an actress who can portray both the bold spirit and timid personality that is represented by Lara Jean.
6. TWICE's Jihyo as Margot Covey
As all older sisters and firstborns go, Lara Jean’s older sister, Margot Covey, makes a big move to Scotland. Trying to make a life for herself, through the film we’re able to see that she takes on the typical responsible, mature, older sister figure. Someone highly dependable and who wants the best for her younger sister. A guidance counselor in matters of friendships, love, and life. TWICE Jihyo, by far, can take the role of Margot Covey. Jihyo is known to have a tight rein on her members, yet she also has the gentle heart to know when members need her the most. Not only is she a great leader, but she's a vital pillar to TWICE's success.
7. NMIXX's Lily as Kitty Covey
The youngest one, who is full of sass. Mischievous, funny, and extremely observant for someone her age. Kitty Covey takes it upon herself to mail out the letters that she finds secretly stashed away in Lara Jean’s closet. A catalyst, and a ball of fire. Be careful, for you never know what she’s up to next. NMIXX Lily's personality is a radiant ball of sunshine. But when she wants, she can be sassy, and we're all here for it. Her childlike innocence isn't to be underestimated, but Lily is quite perceptive. More than you think.
8. IVE's Wonyoung as Genevieve
Known as Peter’s ex-girlfriend and Lara Jean’s former best friend, in every K-drama, there’s always someone who ends up turning their back only to become the rival to said main character. Well, let’s just say Genevieve is your typical popular, but often antagonistic character. Being one of the most sought-after K-celebrities, IVE Wonyoung's beauty is unmatched, and well, let's just say usually any former girlfriend of the most popular guy in school always tends to be popular themselves, with all the beauty and brains to accompany it too.
9. BTS's V as Lucas James
Sweet, with a great sense of fashion and extremely friendly, within the movie, Lucas becomes one of Lara Jean’s closest friends, and if there’s anyone who’s as friendly and sweet as Lucas, it has to be BTS's V. Often known for his expansive group of friends due to his outgoing personality. BTS's V perfectly fits the role of Lucas, especially because his sense of fashion as well is unmatched.
10. RIIZE's Wonbin as Kenny Donati
Although not extensively shown within the film, Kenny Donati is a past crush of Lara Jean’s. A boy from summer camp, a fleeting crush, yet a memorable one. Something about RIIZE Wonbin fits the aura of the boy from summer camp. Bound to have a lot of popularity due to his handsome looks and kind personality. But just based on all the sports that Wonbin has participated in, from rock climbing, track and field, to taekwondo, and even soccer and swimming. Summer camp just seems like the place that Wonbin would naturally be attracted to.
