Netflix’s XO, Kitty came back with a hooking second season on Thursday, January 16, that provided a mix of romance, drama, and heartbreaking moments that fans had been waiting for. The series, a spin-off of the To All the Boys film franchise, follows Kitty Song Covey’s experiences at KISS (the Korean Independent School of Seoul) in South Korea.
Season 2 begins with Kitty facing the complications of romantic relationships and growing as a person. Min Ho chose to express his feelings for her as he and Kitty boarded the plane to Los Angeles. Surprised by Min Ho’s unexpected confession, Kitty returns to KISS, promising not to let relationships stand in her way of discovering more about her mother’s time in Seoul. Things quickly become problematic when she is forced to share a room with Yuri and her girlfriend Juliana, who has returned to KISS permanently. But Kitty is not over her crush on Yuri, and their proximity complicates things. This season features a new possible love interest for Kitty, as well as a number of other characters.
“Kitty’s relationships are so full of drama, but I hope that she ends up with Min Ho. He’s the best option for her in my opinion.” said senior Valeria Torres.
Additionally, the season features new characters who change the overall tone of the narrative. Stella, in particular, creates tension and mystery with her unclear motivations, which unravel gradually and keep fans interested. Her appearance strains the main cast, bringing layers of drama and suspense to move the story along. Stella’s character really challenges Kitty and her friendship with Min Ho, and he is often forced to choose between the two. The series does a good job of blending these fresh relationships with the previous ones, making each character seem important to the growing stories. The show also relies on unexpected turns, creating moments of surprise that raise emotional consequences and keep viewers hooked.
One of the most interesting aspects of season two is Kitty’s greater understanding of her Korean roots. This story line provides insight into her late mother’s past, bringing emotional significance and complexity to the plot. Kitty’s journey of self-discovery is both devastating and realistic, as she grapples with issues about her place in her family and her community. These scenes are shown with thoughtful consideration, demonstrating the series’ ability to combine humor and realistic depth.
“I really liked Kitty discovering things about her mothers past and her family. That part in the show was kind of sad but also heartwarming in the end.” said senior Karla Merino.
The season finale wraps up many of the unfinished story lines from previous episodes, giving emotionally fulfilling ends to important themes. However, it does leave the door open for additional seasons, promising new character changes and future romances that will keep fans wanting more. Whether or not you’re a returning fan or new to the series, this season delivers an entertaining yet meaningful watching experience that will leave you ready for what’s next.
