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.

If you're looking for a well put together show like breaking bad or GOT yeah you're going to hate it.

It's totally unbelievable and corny but so cute and so fun. The show depicts the exact genre it's trying to. If you like sex lives of college girls, the summer I turned pretty, heartstopper, trinkets, on my block, or kdramas I mean you've come to the right place.

Light hearted fun and lovely characters. It's exactly what it was supposed to be and delivered.

Drove me nuts they are In south korea and all speak english but it is what it is and I will still watch any future seasons of it.

Here is my remaining 15 characters needed.

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.

Just a heads up before I start, but be respectful of others opinions pls. Just because you like or hate something doesn't mean you need others to do the same. Half of this review section is mostly just people hating and others liking while being also very aggressive and forcing.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I loved the idea of having Lara Jean's sister, Kitty, have her own series but this would've done better if it followed the format of Lara Jean's love story.. in other words maybe a movie series instead of an actual one.

What happened in 10 episodes could have happened in just 2 hours and 30 minutes of watching. Maybe even just 2 hours, if the writers would have a good job summarizing everything which they clearly did not.

The story did NOT go anywhere. The acting was alright and I did love the energy of Kitty, but also hated her character from time-to-time especially since she meddled a whole lot in the story.

It was introduced to us in the beginning that the whole reason of her wanting to go to Korea was to meet Dae, which did happen but also because she wanted to know more about her mom. And well..

The side stories about her mom felt a little underwhelming. Throughout the episodes, it was only inserted a little bit every here-and-there and then back to her love story which I know was the main theme anyway, but the writers could've made a scenario whereas it would seem that finding more about her mom wasn't just a side quest.

All-in-all, I think that's all for me. I hope everybody had a great and maybe a not-so-great time watching the show. Waiting for season 2 just because I do admit I have a love-hate relationship type with this kinds of series!!

I deserve more. I loved the characters but kitty she just went around and fell in love with everyone tf. Well anyways it was good which i wasn't expecting it to be. Minho is so funny. I really enjoyed. It was funnier than expected and it felt like real people interacting and a story that could happen. A bit romanticized obviously and a lot of coincidences that wouldn't happen in real life but i liked the characters depth and how they felt like humans and not so black and white one is evil one is good. Minho was the best thing from the story really. Kitty was my less favorite but she was okay too i guess.
