Last Dance

In an ideal world Jenny Han would have directed every episode. The first four episodes of this season haven't had emotional depth I'd hoped considering this is the final season. They felt like filler episodes, they contained context that was needed but nothing more. This episode? Cinema perfection. It speaks deeply and allows insight in a way that allows the audience to exist in that moment, to feel it. Christopher Briney, although new to the scene, is an underrated actor. He's someone I see becoming a household name. From the golden hue that's surrounds Belly in flashback scenes when viewing them from Conrad's perspective, to Christopher's way of expressing so much without any words, down to the song choices... This episode was everything and more, an absolute stand out from all three seasons.

The writing and direction of this episode blew me away. This season has been a bit of a mess thus far, I was starting to lose interest in what happens with any if these characters. But then everything changed. The performances landed, and the emotional weight actually felt earned.

I really enjoyed Conrad's point of view and the music choices for each scene felt perfectly placed. If the rest of the season keeps up this momentum, we might just be in for a beautiful redemption arc not just for the characters, but for the show itself.

I know this dreamy lens can't apply to every episode but jenny's direction was just absolutely phenomenal. It could not have been more beautiful. The acting, the camerawork, the setting, lighting, costuming, EYE CONTACT, every last detail was perfect. This was undoubtedly the best episode we've ever gotten from this show and it will go down being what it's remembered for.

I almost started to expect there would never be a nice episode from this show... Even though it's a Conrad POV I'm glad that we could also get to see more of Belly's inner thoughts surprisingly , especially after the freaking messy episodes before this one and after Jere and Belly decided to get married. In this episode I could empathize a lot more with Belly, and that's how Conrad sees her through his eyes, I think that itself says a lot.

I know tsitp has been and is supposed to be soapy and cliched in a lot of ways, but the chemistry between Conrad and Belly is something different that kept me watching this show, this episode maximize that chemistry between those two to a level that is calm and crazy at the same time... And I even started to think they intentionally did the previous episodes that horribly just to contrast... I don't know what I'm ranting about maybe I'm just out of my mind after watching this episode.

Jenny Han needs to direct the rest of the season. This was one of the most beautiful episodes of tv I've ever watched....

The way it was shot, the lighting, the music, the romance of it all. The way we got to understood Conrad more than we ever have in just one episode!! Jenny stayed true to the books but added so much more. Elevated every book scene. This one is for the hopeless romantics.
