This idea that change can be really, really scary - and it’s also inevitable. And, um, and I think that comes with growing up. You see her experiencing so many feelings and emotions that she never has had to deal with before. And I think season two, you see a lot of individual growth, especially for Belly. “Season one was a lot of seeing these characters together and on this journey together and growing together. There’s been a lot of time since we last saw them, and they’re all in very different head spaces,” Tung says. “I think the characters have grown a lot since the first season. Season two finds the characters several months in the future, with plenty of flashbacks to fill in the blanks. The show follows Belly as she finds herself in a love triangle between brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, who she’s grown up spending summers with on a Massachusetts beach. I loved that I could relate to her and I felt like a lot of people would be able to relate to her.” “And she went through many experiences and felt many of the feelings that I had felt at 16 and was still feeling at 18. She was such a fully fleshed out character, you know? Like a real human,” she says. “I really admired her curiosity and her determination.
In playing Belly, she gets to sink into a character who is “so full of life.” She taped her audition in her apartment with the help of her roommates, and the rest is history.
The audition came while Tung was in her first year of college, 2020 into 2021, which included a mix of Zoom and double-masked, in-person classes. Prior to auditioning, she was unfamiliar with the series but was a fan of Han’s other mega successful books-turned-movies “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.”
“The Summer I Turned Pretty” was Tung’s first acting job. And it made me so excited for everyone to see it because I’m reminded of just how proud I am of all of us and how wonderful Jenny is, and it’s really cool to be part of something that means so much to so many people.” “It’s made me so happy to see the excitement that everyone has about the show.
