The Episode Review

What a binge-worthy roller coaster this season was! Kitty wanted a drama-free semester, but that was not meant to be. The chaos, love triangles and teen angst is what makes this show a binge-worthy teenage show.

There is never a dull moment in Kitty’s life and even though she means well, she is always causing trouble. I think that is one of the charming aspects of Kitty’s characters. Each character in this show has different layers to them and it is intriguing to see that in every new season. This was a good season and definitely worth the wait. Noah Centino and Jane Parrish’s cameos were some of the highlights this season.

Thankfully, they didn’t leave us on a major cliffhanger this season. At least we know there might be hope for Kitty and Min-ho. I was never on the Yuri bandwagon and I am glad that Min-ho is getting his chance. In the words of Lizzo, “It is about damn time!” While Yuri and Kitty would have made a great couple, it was clear they are not there yet.

Yuri was pining for Juliana and somewhere along the way, Min-ho made it to Kitty’s heart. Although some may disagree, Min-ho and Kitty are so endgame. They have a certain dynamic that makes it easy to love and root for them. They have a good foundation with their enemy to friend arc and they care for each other.

This season saw Kitty get answers about her mom and find her Korean family. It makes sense that Kitty never gave up on reuniting the sisters. I think this was a huge thing for Kitty. It probably felt like she has found a part of the puzzle that is her. I loved the scene where they paid tribute to Kitty’s mom in the traditional Korean way. It shows that Grandma is finally coming around and accepting her other granddaughter. 

As for Stella, I loved that she shook things up and proved that Min-ho can be dedicated in a relationship. Subconsciously, that might have been something that Kitty was wary about. However, seeing him with Stella showed her that he is not just a playboy, he can commit to one woman. Sadly, although we liked Praveena, her character was under utilised. At the same time, I wish the writers gave us more of Eunice and  Dae’s story.  

Well, that is a wrap for XO Kitty season 2. What were your favourite moments and music track? What would you love to see in season 3 if we get one?
