"I think for younger generations there's less of a binary and they're just more relaxed about sex and people's identities and it doesn't have to be one or the other. "It felt right for the character and right for the moment," showrunner and author Jenny Han explained to E! News of her decision to make Jeremiah sexually fluid. In episode three, he hooks up with a guy named Luke before fully realizing his romantic feelings for Belly ( Lola Tung). "I just like to kiss and be cozy with people," he explains. In episode two, it's revealed Jeremiah ( Gavin Casalegno) is sexually fluid when he points out multiple people he's made out with at the pool. "It's a memory, but at the same time, I wanted it to feel resonant and current and raw."
"I wanted it to feel like a locket that you find, you open it up and there's this picture inside," Han told E! News. Fortunately, she didn't have to kill any of her darlings and that dreamy, wistful and magical aura of the source material fully translates to the screen, which was the author's goal. In addition to writing the pilot episode, Han served as co-showrunner and got to make the major decisions about what would remain from the book-and what would be cut.
