XO, Kitty is a romantic comedy-drama series on Netflix, serving as a spin-off of the popular 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' film trilogy. The show follows the spirited teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey as she moves to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS), her late mother's alma mater, and to reconnect with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae. However, Kitty soon discovers that love is far more complicated than she anticipated, navigating complex relationships, friendships, and her own identity amidst a new cultural environment. The series is aimed at a young adult audience, exploring themes of first love, self-discovery, and family secrets, and contains content appropriate for viewers aged 14 and older.
Things to Consider
LGBTQ & Gender Identity
The series prominently features LGBTQ+ representation, with the main character, Kitty Song Covey, realizing and embracing her bisexuality. Several other primary characters are openly gay or lesbian, and their relationships are central to the plot, including same-sex romantic relationships and coming out narratives. The creator has confirmed Kitty's bisexuality is canon, and the show normalizes diverse sexual orientations.
Kitty Song Covey develops romantic feelings for Yuri Han, an explicitly gay character, leading to Kitty having a 'sex dream' about Yuri. Kitty later comes out as bisexual, expressing her feelings for both boys and girls. Yuri Han is openly gay and is in a committed relationship with Juliana Porter; their public relationship with Dae was a facade to conceal Yuri's true sexuality from her parents. Q Shabazian is an openly gay character, and his relationship with his boyfriend, Florian, is also depicted.
Romance and Sexual Content
The series contains a significant amount of romantic and sexual content, including passionate kissing between both heterosexual and same-sex couples, suggestive dialogue, and explicit discussions of 'sex dreams' and contraception. Cheating and love triangles/polygons are recurring plot elements.
