The 2018 release of the Netflix teen romcom To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, changed the lives of its stars, Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, by putting them on Hollywood’s radar.

“People are taking me more seriously,” said Condor, a 22-year-old Vietnamese American. “I feel like I can take up way more space, and I really, really appreciate being part of the conversation of representation. That’s something that I feel so passionate about.”

And Centineo, 23, has become a leading man. He will star as He-Man in Masters of the Universe, due out in 2021.

The first movie introduced Lara Jean, a Korean American teen whose younger sister mails out a stash of hidden love letters to former crushes that were never intended to be read. To mask her embarrassment, Lara Jean fakes a romance with one of those recipients, Peter, who is looking to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Things grow complicated when they fall in love.
