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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't understand the negative reviews. It's a nice coming of age story that doesn't try and force a love triangle, I remember being that age and having lots of crushes. I think it's trying to show how quickly things can change with your relationships as a teen. I like the strong friendships shown too. Hate the comments about the actresses teeth, why force everyone to have capped, whitened teeth? The main actress looks lovely. It was nice to showcase a young cast who managed to play their characters well. Yes there were cheesy parts but that's half the fun. Would definitely recommend for fans of the movie or romance/coming of age stories.
