Need a K-drama, but not exactly a K-drama? Something light on the heartbreak but high on the chaos? Say hello to XO, Kitty, your next binge-worthy guilty pleasure.

This spin-off of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before follows the ever-curious, ever-chaotic Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart), as she uproots her life in the U.S. to attend a prestigious school in Seoul—all to be closer to her long-distance love, Dae. But when she lands, she discovers Dae might already be taken (plot twist!). Or is he?

And so begins a rollercoaster of teen drama, identity crises, cultural curveballs, and unexpected feelings. Two seasons of it.

Throw in a pinch of Mean Girls energy, a dash of Boys Over Flowers vibes, and very emotionally repressed boy named Minho, and you’ve got a rom-com recipe that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still delivers all the feels. Kitty may stumble her way through love, friendship, and family secrets, but her heart is always in the right place (even if her plans are not).

Silly, sweet, and messy, XO, Kitty is the kind of show you put on for a laugh, and end up watching for the emotional whiplash and lovable chaos.
