Ever moved on with the XO, Kitty fever?
Last week, May 18, 2023, the famous book turned movie, To All the Boys I Loved Before released its spin-off entitled XO, Kitty on Netflix starring Anna Cathcart, Choi Min-young, Anthony Keyvan, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, and Peter Thurnwald. With this spin-off series, Jenny Han, the author of To All The Boys I Loved Before was also the writer and executive producer of its show.
This story features Katherine "Kitty" Song Covey and her journey as she finds her true love and explores her own identity as she experiences the different ups and downs of her youth - meeting different people and discovering bits about her biological mother and her past alma matter.
Despite being cringe-worthy to some viewers, the series was still something worth watching especially with its eye-catching cast, not to mention the beauty of its location, South Korea and the showcase of its culture that could attract viewers, plus the K-POP songs from different K-POP artists that were played within the series like SEVENTEEN, Twice, Blackpink, Stray Kids, Momoland, and many more!
The story was a literal slice-of-life series filled with friendship, family secrets, with common love tropes like enemies to lovers. Yet despite the common storyline, everything was uniquely delivered and showcased throughout the scene due to Kitty’s unpredictable yet adorable character.
Surely a lot of the fans still couldn't get over it, especially after watching the cliffhanger ending that left the viewers much more excited for season 2! Other than Kitty’s love interest, there were also some unanswered questions regarding Kitty’s mother’s relationship and MinHo’s heart-fluttering confession during their flight back to the US, season 2 will surely be a jampack season that we're all excited for!
Who’s your bet for Kitty’s endgame? Are you the first love never dies, Team Dae? The rediscovering romance, Team Yuri? Or the enemies to love, Team MinHo?
