I'd feel like I cheated on my favourite characters in this series if I don't share a review of my experience on it. I've seen the first season of this series over three times and I would be seeing the second season for the second time soon. That's just how much I enjoy every bit of the storyline.
It's a new story that begins from the film franchise I reviewed some days ago "To All The Boys I've Loved Before". I still remember the scene it spinned from, where the lead character now was just a little sister to Lara and meets a young guy during her family's vacation in Korea.
A long distance relationship got close when Kitty decides to travel back to Korea to find her mother's story and meet the love of her life by attending the school her mum went to... "KISS".
Season 1 Review
Now I feel like words will fail me to express just how well done I think of this series "XO, Kitty", the story and the characters all met my standard for a mixed movie, featuring Americans and Koreans. I would be honest to say I got curious of actual Korean actors being good in English in it.
Min Ho isn't the main character, Kitty is but he had my attention in every scene he got in because of his British accent as a Korean guy. His duo with Kitty is the main reason I'm invested in this series, it's amazing how they are not together yet but we're all rooting for it to happen.
Talk of a perfect slow burn romance with lots of comedy to keep every viewer engaged and happy through till the end. The season one had all the excitement flowing, as the lead character (Kitty) travels to Korea and attends the prestigious high school, KISS to meet Dae and other reasons.
First off, the School doesn't exist in real life so I must give them that for making the whole thing seem so real. Her first meeting with Min Ho (the supporting character who take over the show) was both funny and one that kept us excited for how their friendship will turn out besides Dae.
I enjoyed the many twists with Kitty's feeling from the start of her time in school to the end, it's still shocking how she went from liking guys to liking girls. Viewers can't get over that about the story, it's not something I support the idea but I think it okay since they wouldn't end the story there.
The story in season one ends with Kitty breaking up with Dae, her first love and while she is being confused about her new feelings for a lady, she gets confessed to by Min Ho who has fallen for her. What a twist to end the series! This had viewers waiting for the next season as we are all hoping to see Kitty and Min Ho together officially.
Season 2 Review
Even with how hyped I was since the end of the first season, I forced myself to wait till all episodes of second season were out before I started this one and it was totally worth it as I binge-watched all episode in less than half a day. As expected, it started from where we all wanted.
The heartbreaking thing was, Kitty didn't accept Min Ho feelings and so we continued with the slow burn romance and hiding of feelings to not be the weird one. Min Ho gets into a relationship with a new face character (a new student) who has an ulterior motive. I was totally against it lol.
There were iconic scenes and my favourite is where Min Ho confesses his feelings and later in the second season, Kitty realizes her feelings. There were also iconic lines like "I think I've fallen in love with you, a little bit or a lot" that keeps ringing in my head and I know I'm not alone, lol.
The Kitty - Min Ho duo is my favourite part of the whole series and so I chose a trailer that focuses on them in both seasons. The second season ended but we're left in suspense waiting for the next season as some things haven't happened yet, especially our favourite duo getting together and I kinda believe it would be worth the wait.
Till the next season, I'm recommending the series to anyone who's yet to see it and would love a beautiful teenage love story. It's 9/10 from me.
