Jessica To

Jessica To’s name might not be plastered everywhere, but she’s been quietly stacking a pretty interesting set of credits in the world of romantic comedies and dramas. You probably recognize her from “To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You” (2020), which kept that sweet, slightly awkward teen romance energy alive and well. She’s sort of got a knack for stories that blend youthful hope with the messiness of figuring out who you are (and who you want to text at midnight, honestly). Then there’s “Love at First Sight” (2023)—a film that manages to take the whole “chance encounter at an airport” vibe and actually make it hit you in the feels. The story goes deep into how one moment can flip your entire world, and Jessica brings this really genuine spark to the screen, making you root for love, even if you’re usually a cynic. And let’s not forget “To All the Boys: Always and Forever” (2021), which rounds out the trilogy with all the bittersweet, coming-of-age stuff—proms, graduation, the terror of long-distance, the works. Jessica’s performances lean into the chaos and charm of young adulthood without ever feeling forced. It’s not all hearts and flowers—there’s a realness there, like she’s lived through some of these heartbreaks herself. Whether she’s in the middle of a love triangle or just trying to survive another awkward family dinner, she brings a warmth and relatability that makes you want to rewatch her movies when you’re having a rough day.
