Unveiling the Secrets: XO, Kitty
The Netflix romcom series, XO, Kitty, is a 10-part spin-off of the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy. The show follows 16-year-old Kitty Song Covey, a biracial Korean American, as she navigates the Korean Independent School of Seoul (Kiss) and her complicated romantic relationships. The plot quickly becomes convoluted, with Kitty discovering that her long-distance boyfriend, Dae, has been lying to her about his family’s economic status and is actually dating another girl named Yuri. As the story unfolds, more secrets and love triangles emerge, keeping viewers engaged.
Despite the messy plot, XO, Kitty is lighthearted and entertaining, delivering wholesome hijinks and misadventures reminiscent of Disney Channel shows. Each episode is around 30 minutes long and filled with action, making it a fast-paced watch. While the mysteries in the series are quickly solved and the characters often state solutions outright, it doesn’t detract significantly from the overall enjoyment. The show’s cutesy love triangles and cliffhangers can captivate adult audiences as well.
XO, Kitty offers glimpses of Korean culture through Kitty’s perspective and explores her desire to connect with her late mother’s heritage. The series also introduces Chuseok, a Korean holiday similar to Thanksgiving, and contrasts American education with Korean education through the recurring joke of Kitty’s failing grades.
Overall, XO, Kitty may not be prestigious television, but its charming cast and light-hearted nature make it a delightful series to watch, especially for fans of the To All the Boys franchise.
