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.

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.

As someone who has watched K-dramas for many years now, I found this mix of American TV and Korean TV a really interesting concept. But in my opinion, it wasn't executed in the best way.

I wish they would have leaned more into the style of k-dramas: a more slow-paced and slow-burn style. Instead, this series felt messy. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with all the love triangles and the drama.

I don't think the actors did a bad job, but the lines and dialogue were often quite awkward, which didn't serve the actors any justice. But when it wasn't too much, I did occasionally enjoy the fluffy and corny feeling in this. Sometimes we even got some interesting thoughts from the main character that other teenage dramas don't touch on.

I also liked the incorporation of K-pop, there were many great songs in this. But again, it felt messy. There were almost too many songs and sometimes they didn't quite fit in. I wish they had stuck with a distinctive sound for this, instead of trying to cram in every popular K-pop song from the last few years.

Overall, I liked this idea, but it lacked cohesiveness and authenticity. I wish there had been more time to explore individual characters more, since there were many interesting stories in this.

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.
