XO, Kitty

First season was better.

Second season is just a lead up to the third season.

Nothing epic or exciting happened.

The most compelling part of the season was the family story but nothing worth watching in the romance department.

We lost a lot of banter between Min ho and Kitty which was the relatable and endearing aspect of their spark.

It just rushed over Kitty exploring her bisexuality.

Too many extra characters that it felt like you lost the connection to the original characters as you were spending all your time learning about the new ones.

Not worth the 2 year wait.

Hopefully the third season is redeemable.

The polarizing reviews have been... interesting. I liked "XO, Kitty" quite a bit. I think it's relatable enough; it fairly captures the uncertainty and chaos surrounding teenage love, even though the series might feel all over the place sometimes. It maintains the charm of the movies and possesses lush and beautiful cinematography and sets - it's satisfying to watch in that way. I think the acting is okay, nothing special. I was initially concerned about character depth (given the show's fast pace), but even though some might feel one-sided, it never felt like I didn't know them. The 'plot twist' surprised me but I'm on the fence about it because it isn't thoroughly justified. While I also commend the writers for avoiding certain cliches they totally could've gone with, the script isn't without its qualms. The unrelenting miscommunication between characters bothered me and started to feel like decisions to further the plot. Overall, I thought it was entertaining enough. It's decent popcorn television (much like everything else from the TATBILB franchise). I've loved the characters so far, and I loved meeting new characters. I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

It's sweet, it's popcorn TV which we all expected - I have enjoyed the binge and would recommend for anyone who is after some light hearted watching

It's cliched, it's Netflix & most importantly it's enjoyable

It won't win any awards but I doubt you will regret a lazy Sunday watching it - Kitty is what I would assume every teenager aspires to be, understanding, forgiving and has no judgment which at this difficult time we all need

👏🏻👏🏻 Netflix it's rivals Emily in Paris without the scenary or fashion

It gave me a warm hug & im not sorry for watching - every review is someone's personal opinion this is mine & I hope you enjoy this show for what it is.

Xo Kitty.

This had good actors, amazing OST and deep, controversial and emotional themes (being LGBTQ, multi racial, teenagers having sex and casually dating, multiracial characters...all of that being in South Korea is shocking to say the least) but without getting too dramatic into them.

Theoretically all those ingredients would let you as a result a pretty good series, but although it is interesting, it is also a hot mess.

The plots and subplots are extremely unbelievable and there's hole after hole, how the hell can you just guess who gave you in adoption by looking at some pictures?? Unrealistic is an understatement.

Then it becomes very erratic and confusing when everyone likes everyone ( literally) and all characters turn to be gay/bisexual. I was so happy when I saw there was not only one gay couple but also a lesbian one but then a love triangle becomes a whole love group thing? It made me feel like I didn't have anyone to root for because love interests changed so fast!

I didn't like that at all.

Overall is interesting and I like the fact that they kept it quite real with the korean interactions and original language, they casted actual koreans and not just Americans.

If it was longer I wouldn't have watched it, but is so short it was okay. I probably will give the potential second season a miss.

This tv series tries to cram as much drama into 10 episodes as possible and by cramming so much in, it fails to explore any of the characters and themes in a meaningful way. A prime example of this is the love pentagon, with Kitty (the female lead) jumping around from crush to crush, making it difficult to connect with any of her romantic counterparts.

If the series had focused primarily on one or two main themes like Kitty's connection with her mother or her relationship, the series would have emotional substance but instead it comes across as a bottom of barrel rom com that Netflix mass produces.
