Love triangles continue to captivate viewers with the arrival of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, demonstrating that the allure of romantic entanglements never fades away.
In the third and final season of the popular Amazon Prime Video series, "The Summer I Turned Pretty," the central love triangle between protagonist Isabel "Belly" Conklin (played by Lola Tung) and the Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, continues to captivate audiences.
Belly, now 21, finds herself torn between her feelings for the two brothers, a dynamic that remains a key dramatic element in this season. While she initially chose Jeremiah over Conrad in the previous season, Conrad's emotional connection persists, keeping the love triangle at the heart of the series.
Fans of the show have been expressing their opinions fiercely, with a significant following for #TeamConrad, due to his complex emotional journey and the heartbreak of seeing Belly with Jeremiah. On the other hand, some fans believe that Belly is meant to be with Conrad, fuelled by the use of Taylor Swift's song Red in the season three trailer, with its lyrics reflecting the love triangle.
One TikTok user even believes that Conrad is harmful to Belly's well-being, while another user posted a meme suggesting that the plotline of season three is Belly and Conrad giggling, with Jeremiah cast aside. However, over on TikTok, some users are expressing their support for Jeremiah, highlighting his supportive actions towards Belly throughout the series.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Tung expressed her support for Belly making her own decisions and declared herself as Team Belly. She has also asked fans not to threaten anyone if their preferred outcome for the love triangle doesn't occur. Tung has also hinted that Belly could end up choosing a third option, focusing on herself rather than choosing between Jeremiah and Conrad.
Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed how the colors blue and red are used in Belly's clothing, with blue representing her time with Jeremiah and red representing her growing feelings for Conrad. The emotional depth of Belly's feelings for Conrad is contrasted with Jeremiah, who is seen as a 'safe' option.
As the series reaches its conclusion, fans continue to eagerly debate and discuss the love triangle, reflecting the strong emotional ties they have with the characters and the narrative’s romantic tension. The third season of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is now available on Amazon Prime Video.
The emotional journey of Conrad, coupled with Taylor Swift's song Red in the season three trailer, fuels the fanbase's belief that Belly should be with him. However, some fans advocate for Jeremiah, highlighting his supportive actions towards Belly throughout the series.
