**Seoul, South Korea –** Netflix’s teen rom-com sequel, XO, Kitty Season 2, dropped today, continuing Kitty Song Covey’s chaotic journey at the Korean International School of Seoul (KISS). While delivering the expected teenage drama and swoon-worthy moments, the season struggles to fully realize its ambitious plotlines, leaving some viewers wanting more.

Picking up after Kitty’s expulsion, Season 2 throws her back into a whirlwind of romantic entanglements. Her relationships with ex-boyfriend Dae, best friend Yuri, love interest Minho, and newcomer Praveena create a complex love triangle that, while captivating, occasionally feels rushed. While Yuri’s budding romance with Juliana offers a more grounded LGBTQ+ representation, Kitty’s own exploration of her bisexuality feels underdeveloped.

The season also features the return of Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky, bridging Kitty’s story with the “To All the Boys” universe. However, the spotlight remains firmly on Kitty, played by Anna Cathcart, who excels at portraying the character’s endearing yet frustrating qualities. Sang Heon Lee shines as Minho, whose character arc shows remarkable emotional growth, creating strong chemistry with Kitty despite their unresolved romantic tension. Minyeong Choi’s portrayal of Dae, however, feels somewhat underdeveloped.

Family secrets emerge, adding emotional depth, particularly in Kitty’s connection to her late mother. However, the multitude of storylines – from romantic dilemmas to family mysteries – overwhelms the eight-episode format, preventing deeper exploration of key themes.

While director Jenny Han delivers emotional intimacy and captivating moments, the pacing suffers, leaving the open-ended conclusion feeling more like a setup for a third season than a satisfying resolution. Despite its flaws, XO, Kitty Season 2 remains entertaining and relatable, offering a blend of humor, heart, and the messy realities of teenage life. The show earns a 3.5 out of 5 stars. All episodes are now streaming on Netflix.
