XO Kitty Teases Possible Reversal of Key Romance Twist in Season 3

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for XO, Kitty Season 2!

The finale of XO, Kitty Season 2 introduces a potential romantic relationship for Kitty Song-Covey, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for intriguing plot twists in a possible Season 3. Although the narrative of the second season ventures beyond romance, it remains faithful to its romantic comedy roots, showcasing multiple blossoming relationships. Central to the story are Kitty’s affection for Yuri, which dominates the first half of the season, and her evolving feelings for Min Ho, which take precedence in the latter episodes.

Initially reluctant, Kitty rebuffs Min Ho earlier in the season. However, a pivotal moment occurs mid-season when her perception of him begins to shift. By the penultimate episode, she finally acknowledges her true feelings for Min Ho. Although she struggles to come to terms with this, the conclusion of the season suggests that Kitty and Min Ho will emerge as the anticipated couple in Season 3, especially after Kitty decides to accompany Min Ho on Jun Ho’s summer tour. Additionally, the series subtly establishes the potential for another romantic connection.

Closure for Yuri and Juliana

Despite the chaotic relationship dynamics in XO, Kitty Season 2, which includes some problematic representations of Sapphic relationships, neither Kitty nor Yuri would likely engage in a new romance without first ensuring Juliana had closure. For Yuri to fully commit to Kitty, she must first recognize Juliana’s ability to move on. Given that the show’s structure follows a semester format at KISS, this allows Yuri ample time to heal before reconnecting with Kitty. Their amicable relationship post-breakup helps alleviate Yuri’s guilt over her past actions.

Equally, Kitty’s support for Juliana and Yuri throughout both seasons complicates her feelings. By prioritizing their relationship, Kitty might feel apprehensive about pursuing something with Yuri if their history remained fraught. The closure between Yuri and Juliana subtly hints at a possible romantic connection between Yuri and Kitty in Season 3, should Netflix renew the series.

However, XO, Kitty Season 2 has faced criticism for its portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and the reinforcement of stereotypes surrounding lesbian and bisexual identities.

Grand Gestures in Season 2

The Significance of Grand Gestures in XO, Kitty and To All the Boys

Both To All The Boys and XO, Kitty emphasize grand gestures as a essential expression of love. Lara Jean reflects on this notion in Always & Forever, while Kitty echoes these sentiments in the first season when assisting Yuri in reconnecting with Juliana. By the end of Season 2, Q points out the romantic tension between Min Ho and Kitty, remarking on the epic gestures they have exchanged.

In a nod to potential future developments, XO, Kitty may be hinting at a romance between Kitty and Yuri by integrating these grand gestures into their storyline. During Season 2, Yuri performs multiple noteworthy gestures for Kitty, beginning with a pivotal phone call at the end of Season 1. The second gesture occurs in Episode 6, titled “Kiss and Make Up.” When Jiwan turns away from Kitty, Yuri seeks out Kitty’s cousin and persuades her to give Kitty another shot, showcasing her dedication to mending Kitty’s family relationships.

While Min Ho’s grand gesture is more overt, Yuri’s actions are impactful despite being less flashy. This comparison suggests that the show may be nurturing the seeds of a future romantic connection between Kitty and Yuri.

Parallels Between Kitty, Yuri, and the Original Couple

Season 2 Deepens Parallels with Lara Jean and Peter

The first season of XO, Kitty is rich with direct parallels between Kitty and Yuri and the original relationship of Lara Jean and Peter. A Reddit user even crafted a montage showcasing these similarities—many scenes are shot using the same angles and dialogue, creating a visual symmetry between the two couples. Adding to the intrigue, Lara Jean refers to Peter as the second boy she loved, while Yuri is similarly positioned as Kitty’s second love interest.

I know I’m in the minority but I really hope Kitty and Yuri are endgame but I truthfully don’t think they are, I think they’ll go with Min Ho JUST because of popularity. Ppl talk about all the Lara/Peter parallels with Min Ho but Yuri has a few too by u/Terrell8799 in XOKittyNetflix

In the second season, the show does experiment with parallels between Kitty and Min Ho, incorporating mirrored scenes similar to those with Lara Jean and Peter. However, the narrative does not relinquish the established chemistry between Yuri and Kitty. Just as Peter only grasps Lara Jean’s feelings after discovering a misplaced letter, Kitty’s rapid transitions between emotions raise the possibility that she might still gravitate back to Yuri in XO, Kitty Season 3.
