Overview

  • Episode 8 premieres Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT on Prime Video, with three episodes remaining after this week.
  • The latest episode featured a pivotal confession and a relationship reveal that heighten pre-wedding tensions without resolving Belly’s choice.
  • Critics note the show omits a key internal monologue from the novels in a goodbye scene, arguing it softens the emotional impact on screen.
  • Jenny Han has said the TV finale will not exactly mirror the books, signaling further adaptation shifts in the closing run.
  • Fans are speculating about a major Taylor Swift placement next, and Prime Video has urged viewers to keep online discussion respectful.
