XO, Kitty is a spin-off of the To All the Boys I've Loved Before movies, starring Anna Cathcart as the spunky and lovable Kitty Song Covey. The series follows Kitty as she moves to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the same school as her long-distance boyfriend, Dae, and to learn more about her late mother's culture. Along the way, she makes new friends, faces new challenges, and discovers new aspects of herself and her love.
The series is a cute and fun watch with colorful visuals, catchy music, and diverse characters. Anna Cathcart does an excellent job as Kitty, bringing her humor, charisma, and heart to the role. She has good chemistry with Minyeong Choi, who plays Dae, her sweet and supportive boyfriend. The other supporting actors do a decent job, especially Gia Kim as Yuri, Kitty's sassy and loyal best friend, and Sang Heon Lee as Min Ho, Kitty's handsome and mysterious classmate.
However, the series also has flaws that prevent it from being great. The plot is predictable and clichéd, with many tropes and twists that have been done before. The series also tries to juggle too many themes and subplots, such as cultural identity, family bonds, friendship dynamics, and personal growth, but none are explored deeply or satisfactorily. The series also lacks the charm and depth of the To All the Boys movies and feels more like a generic teen rom-com.
XO, Kitty is a decent binge-watch for rom-coms, teen dramas, and cute stories fans. It is a light-hearted and enjoyable addition to the To All the Boys universe, but it could have been better.
6.5/10 stars.
