In March 2021, it was announced that a series spin-off to To All the Boys was in development, with each episode being a half-hour romantic comedy. The series got developed as a Netflix exclusive, from Awesomeness and ACE Entertainment. The books' original author Jenny Han was reported to be the creator, writer and executive producer as well as writing the script for the pilot with Siobhan Vivian. Anna Cathcart was also reported to be reprising her role as Kitty Song Covey. Six months later, Netflix ordered ten episodes along with announcing other crew members. Sascha Rothchild and Matt Kaplan joined Han as executive producers while the former is also the showrunner along with Han. On April 5, 2022, Choi Min-yeong, Anthony Keyvan, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Peter Thurnwald, and Regan Aliyah were cast as series regulars while Yunjin Kim, Michael K. Lee, and Jocelyn Shelfo joined the cast in recurring roles. By that date, production had begun in Seoul. Gia Kim and Sang Heon Lee, the actors who played Yuri and Min Ho, respectively, are siblings in real life.
On June 14, 2023, Netflix renewed the series for a second season. On April 25, 2024, it was announced that the second season had begun production in Seoul.
