A Korean boarding school, a long-distance boyfriend, and a stack of teenage expectations that don't survive first contact with reality — that's the setup XO, Kitty runs with.
What is XO, Kitty about?
Kitty Song Covey, the youngest of the Covey sisters, transfers to a school in Korea chasing a boy and a version of romance she has mostly built up in her own head. What she finds instead is a campus full of new friendships, rivalries, and complications that force her to rethink what she actually wants from love and from herself. The series follows her adjusting to a new culture and a new social order while old feelings and new ones tangle together, turning a simple crush into a much messier coming-of-age story. Comedy and drama trade off scene to scene, with the show's Korea-set backdrop giving Kitty's search for connection a fresh setting distinct from the films that introduced her character.
About the cast
Anna Cathcart returns as Kitty, joined by Choi Min-yeong, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, and Anthony Keyvan. Jenny Han, who created the character, directs.
Context & significance
XO, Kitty is a spinoff built around a supporting character from a larger teen-romance franchise, relocating the story to a Korean setting and a school-life format better suited to a full series than a single film. Released in 2023, it belongs to the current wave of coming-of-age shows blending comedy, drama, and romance for a young-adult audience. Episodes run a compact thirty minutes, which keeps the pacing brisk and makes the series an easy binge for viewers who prefer shorter installments over long, single-story films.
