XO, Kitty heavily features Kitty learning about her mother, but the series also revolves around romance. The titular main character sets off on this journey in a relationship with Dae, but she finds herself involved in multiple potential romances. The self-proclaimed matchmaker also has a hand in helping others find love. Plus, the series starts out with multiple other established relationships. Ultimately, with so many romances featured in XO, Kitty, not every pairing has the same strength and potential.

Later, he even calls her son a problem. She finally has the strength to confront him about how unhappy she is, and he calls her spoiled. By the second season of the show, Yuri and her father are not really speaking, but she does mention that her parents are divorcing. That seems to be the best thing for them.

13Min Ho And Stella
Their Relationship Is Built On Lies

At first, Min Ho and Stella seem like a fun match. Min Ho is not all that interested after Kitty sets them up, but he finds himself intrigued when she is the first person he meets who stands up to his father. She also appears to be thoughtful, packing sandwiches when he accompanies Kitty to meet her relatives. All of that, however, is calculated by Stella, who is really a teenager named Esther out to get revenge against Min Ho’s father.

12Jina And Daniel
The Relationship Between These Former Lovers Is Underdeveloped






Jina and Daniel, aka Mr. Lee, get almost no time together, and their former romance isn’t even revealed until halfway through XO, Kitty. The only thing she tells Kitty about their relationship is that he was her first love and has good taste in music. The two don’t even get a meaningful scene together in the series. The last the audience sees of them together is Jina taking her son, Daniel, and Yuri to talk together.
It is clear that the group talks off screen and that they likely have an amiable relationship. Yuri and Alex bond, chatting, giving one another advice, and shopping together in season two. Alex even lives with his father during the break between semesters, getting to know him better. Daniel and Jina, however, do not get more time together. The audience does not get to see what drew them to one another other than their mutual love for early ’90s hits.

This Couple Deserves To Be Explored More

It’s early in their relationship, and they could very well end up as just friends in a possible season three of the show. The trouble is the audience does not know how they connected, though it presumably had to deal with their mutual issues caused by Yuri and Kitty’s kiss, and does not get to see them interact beyond Juliana’s explanation to Yuri.
They could have a very interesting dynamic if they get to be explored more as characters and as a relationship in season three.
10Kitty And Praveena
Kitty And Praveena Are Better As Friends

If Kitty and Praveena had simply been friends from the start, they would have been much better off.

Kitty and Praveena clearly have fun together as Praveena has a sense of adventure that meshes well with Kitty’s need to meddle. The trouble is that Kitty is not entirely truthful about how “done” she is with her feelings for Yuri. Praveena is not looking for complications. The two are good for one another, but they are not in the same place. When Praveena learns how much Kitty truly cares for Yuri, and that Yuri kissed her, she is incredibly hurt and avoids Kitty and her friends completely.
If Kitty and Praveena had simply been friends from the start, they would have been much better off.
9Juliana And Yuri
These Star-Crossed Lovers Get Very Little Time In XO, Kitty






During XO, Kitty, it’s established that Yuri and her best friend Juliana are in love and hiding their relationship because of their parents. They get split up after the housekeeper catches them together. That, however, is all established without Juliana being in the show for more than a handful of scenes. There was potential for these two to have a cute romance.
XO, Kitty has an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Juliana and Yuri’s relationship is plagued by insecurity on the part of Juliana and dishonesty on the part of Yuri. Juliana is sure that Kitty is coming between them. Yuri denies that despite it being obvious. When Yuri and Kitty kiss, the two break up, but Yuri cannot give Juliana the space to process finding out about the kiss. Yuri clings to her relationship with Juliana as the only thing that matters in her life, even completely ghosting Kitty and never talking about the kiss after.

XO, Kitty Season 2: Stars Anna Cathcart & Anthony Keyvan Can’t Wait To Share New Fan Edits With Each Other
XO, Kitty stars Anna Cathcart & Anthony Keyvan confess that they enjoy sharing fan edits with each other and reveal how they’re like their characters.
They prove that not every relationship needs to be serious to be valuable. The only reason they place lower among the couples is that they never seemed to have much in common. Their connection was very face value, rather than having shared interests.
7Kitty And Dae
Kitty And Dae Are Each Other’s First Loves






In XO, Kitty, the titular character goes to KISS to surprise Dae but learns that he’s in a relationship – albeit a fake one. Throughout the rest of the series, they go back and forth between having romantic moments and fighting. They have many sweet moments, including him kissing her after detention and setting up a date on their camping trip. Unfortunately, they cannot communicate, always assuming the wrong thing about one another.
Kitty and Dae first meet when the Song Coveys are visiting Seoul at the start of To All The Boys: Always and Forever.

Season 2 is a great example of that as they are clearly still there for one another as Dae explores a new relationship and Kitty spends some time alone, though she does have feelings for other people.
6Q And Florian
Q and Florian Are The Most Consistent Relationship in XO, Kitty






Early in XO, Kitty, the perky teenager uses her matchmaking skills to get Q together with his crush Florian.

While their communication could be better, they offer each other patience and understanding when things aren’t perfect. They’re the perfect example of a relationship that doesn’t need chaos to be romantic.

Their Shared Interests Help Them

Dae and Eunice, who he jokingly called Yuri’s “follower” in the first season of the show, are paired up to work on a duet together as part of their advanced voice class.

4Q And Jin
The Track Stars Are Surprisingly Good Together

Jin picking on Q does not make for a great start to their interactions together. When their pranking back and forth because they are track rivals gets out of hand, Jin admits he thought they were flirting, not fighting. That is when they take a turn.
Q and Jin try to keep their relationship a secret at first since Min Ho and Dae were previously the victims of Jin’s bullying tactics as children. When they make amends, however, Jin is clearly changed from who he was, and when he realizes his attempts at flirting with Q have been misguided, he does not use the same tactics anymore.
Even when Q ends up taking Jin’s place in a big race because Jin is injured, Jin apologizes for initially reacting poorly, and eventually admits that he does not even want to be a track star anymore. The two have open communication with one another, support one another, share each other’s interests, and have friends in common. Once again, Q has one of the best relationships in the show.

3Yuri And Kitty
Yuri Is Kitty’s Best Potential Romance In XO, Kitty






The best potential romance in XO, Kitty season 1 is that of Yuri and Kitty. The foundation of their romance is built early in the season. Even when these two are enemies, they stick up for each other at Min Ho’s party. They soon develop a heartwarming friendship that allows them to open up to one another. Yuri trusts Kitty enough to tell her about her dysfunctional family and her sexuality, an extremely daunting decision for someone in Yuri’s position.
Kitty also tells Yuri that their moms knew each other. They start putting each other’s desires ahead of their own, with Yuri helping Kitty and Dae get back together and Kitty helping Yuri get in contact with Julianna. Sparks start to fly as they develop a deeper connection.
Even when she’s with Dae, Kitty can’t stop thinking about Yuri.

When Kitty and Yuri do kiss, Yuri is focused on how much she has ruined her relationship and completely cuts Kitty out of her life in an effort to get Juliana back. While it’s commendable that Yuri wants to make things right with Juliana, completely turning her back on her friend is not exactly the way to go. While Kitty and Yuri initially seem like the best-matched pair, it’s clear that Yuri needs to figure out why she kissed Kitty in the first place and Kitty has to figure out just who her feelings are stronger for – Yuri or Min Ho.
2Kitty And Min Ho
This Popular Romance Starts Off Problematic






Of all Kitty’s possible romances from XO, Kitty season 1, the least healthy is her relationship with Min-ho. Kitty and Min Ho start out as adversaries and stay that way throughout most of the series. He verbally harasses her, calls her names, and treats her terribly. He furthers the idea that she’s a stalker, making her an outcast at school.
They finally start to bond on Chuseok when they cook together. Then, at the end of XO, Kitty season 1, he admits that he loves her. While this is a fan-favorite ship, the romance between Kitty and Min Ho perpetuates dangerous ideas about romance. Min Ho is the proverbial boy pulling on the girl’s pigtails, an action that’s societally accepted as a sign he likes her.

The way Min Ho treats her isn’t romantic. He doesn’t get a pass for treating Kitty horribly just because he is nice to her a couple of times.
However, this idea teaches people that violence from a boy is romantic. The way Min Ho treats her isn’t romantic. He doesn’t get a pass for treating Kitty horribly just because he is nice to her a couple of times. Because of this, Kitty and Min-ho’s relationship in XO, Kitty season 1 ranks as one of the worst romances.
Luckily, the second season does show the two of them making strides as friends. Min Ho is there to support Kitty every step of the way when it comes to resolving her old family conflicts. He breaks into the school with Kitty and Praveena, offers up his car for Kitty to use to visit family, and is instrumental in getting Kitty’s grandmother and her sister to resolve their conflict. Kitty tries to be a good friend to him and is there to help when she realizes Stella has been blackmailing him.
Even when Min Ho is with someone else, it’s made clear that he and Kitty are still attracted to one another. Whether a romance would work out between them, however, is unclear as of yet. A potential season 3 could see the two come that much closer to romance.
