xokitty_timeline-1

Given that Kitty Covey is all grown up in XO, Kitty, it’s clear that a lot has changed since the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before movies concluded. The new series sees Kitty stepping out of her sister Lara Jean’s shadow and into her own identity by following in her late mother’s footsteps. While the series is a spinoff of the first three Two All The Boys films, it stands on its own, meaning that understanding its plot isn’t dependent on seeing the three movies.

The show takes place long after the events of the third and final installment in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy. XO, Kitty sets its titular protagonist on a journey to get to know her late mother, while also allowing her to learn a lot about herself in the process. The show reveals what’s beneath the surface of Lara Jean’s quirky younger sister, and it quickly becomes apparent that Kitty is her own person now, with her arc in XO, Kitty representing her growth.

She still believes in love but has a more logical approach…

In the first To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before movie, Kitty was only eleven years old, so she’s evolved a lot since then. The three films focused on Lara Jean, her love triangle, and how she navigated the ups and downs of her relationship with Peter. However, Kitty still played a huge role in the plot as she was the one to leak Lara Jean’s original love letters and played a role in the development of Lara Jean and Peter’s relationship throughout the trilogy.

In XO, Kitty, Kitty is in her junior year of high school, making her around 16 (though her father references her as 17 later) years old, the same age Lara Jean was in the first film. Kitty is still the same quirky younger sister, which is best showcased during her presentation on why she should be able to move to Seoul to attend KISS. However, she’s also a lot more mature and grounded. She still believes in love but has a more logical approach as she is still discovering who she is and who she wants to date.

Since To All Of The Boys I’ve Loved Before: Always and Forever ended, Lara Jean has gone off to college and, according to Kitty, is still with Peter, just like they planned at the end of the third movie. Kitty and Dae have also remained together even though they never saw each other again in person since they met on Kitty’s family trip to Seoul when she was about 12 years old. Eldest sister Margo now lives in London after having gone to college in Scotland in the original movie trilogy.

Kitty has also grown up a lot without her sisters around and doesn’t have the same childlike wonder she had in the trilogy. She is comfortable and self-assured when it comes to asking her father and Trina about attending a boarding school on the other side of the world. Kitty is also much more composed, which plays well into her XO, Kitty storyline.

The timeline of the To All The Boys movies and XO, Kitty do not entirely line up. The final movie in the franchise sees Lara Jean and her friends as the “class of 2021” and early episodes of XO, Kitty reference the year being 2022 (when the series was filmed), which would indicate the two take place just one year apart. Instead, however, Dae and Kitty make it clear the series is set four years after they first met.

When the first season of XO, Kitty kicks off, Kitty has grand plans for her time at boarding school. Fresh off the information that her mother attended boarding school in South Korea for a year when she was in high school, Kitty pitches attending the same school to her father and Trina, complete with powerpoint, visual aids, and a lot of enthusiasm. While it is made clear that Kitty desires to feel closer to her mom, it is also made clear that Dae attends the same school and Kitty would finally get to date him in person.

The first season of the series, however, becomes more complicated, since when Kitty arrives in Korea to attend her new school, she discovers that Dae is dating Yuri, the daughter of the school principal, and the same girl who gave her a ride to campus. As it turns out, however, the relationship between Yuri and Dae is fake, made up for the benefit of Yuri’s parents and Dae’s tuition payment. Yuri has been hiding the fact that she is gay from her parents.

While her love life is in turmoil, Kitty begins to connect with her mother, finding the places and people her mother photographed during her time there. She also uncovers that her mother’s name was used by her high school friend to have a baby and place him up for adoption. That high school friend is Yuri’s mother, adding even more drama to Kitty’s life.

Throughout the season, Kitty eventually learns the truth and makes friends with her roommates. She and Dae work through their problems and date before Kitty realizes that, while Dae might be her first love, she has also developed feelings for Yuri, and she finds them difficult to ignore. Min Ho, one of Dae’s best friends, also falls for Kitty, and chooses to tell her as she is on a plane bound for home after being expelled for living in the boys’ dorm.

XO, Kitty season 2 begins with Kitty getting to return to KISS for another semester after Yuri convinces her mother that it is not fair to expel Kitty if her roommates are not being expelled as well. While Kitty spends the semester discovering what it means for her to be bisexual by attempting a casual relationship with Praveena, she also tries to explore her feelings for Yuri.

Though Kitty ultimately remains single for the duration of XO, Kitty season 2, there are plenty of teases about what her romantic future could have in store for her.

Kitty’s romantic entanglements, however, do end up mixing up the entire friend group for a large portion of the season.

Yuri and Juliana break up, partly because of how insecure Juliana feels about Yuri and Kitty becoming close while she is gone. Dae and Min Ho end up on the outs when Dae finds out that Min Ho told Kitty he had feelings for her last season. Dae does, however, find a new relationship with Eunice, who shares his interest in music and singing. Min Ho ends up in a relationship with someone who is really out to sabotage his father, making for a lot of dramatic twists and turns for all of the couples throughout the season.

In addition to all of the romantic drama typical for a teen series, Kitty continues her examination into her mother’s past. Kitty discovers that her mother originally traveled to KISS because her cousin was a student there and she wanted to get their mothers to stop fighting. Kitty works to reunite her family, getting her older sister Margot involved. Kitty even learns that her mother’s side of her family is a long line of Korean matchmakers, which helps to explain Kitty’s knack for matching people up.

If the relationship drama and the family drama is not enough for the spring semester at KISS, there is also plenty of academic drama. Min Ho’s father joins the faculty as the new advisor for the arts program at the school. His accompanying donation to the school helps alleviate any doubts about his program, which is really geared toward creating a new K-pop star. While Kitty and some of her friends take the music management courses, Dae and Eunice are enrolled in the vocal courses, and even end up competing to become a pop star.

Though Kitty ultimately remains single for the duration of XO, Kitty season 2, there are plenty of teases about what her romantic future could have in store for her. There are also plenty of teases about her exploring her matchmaking skills with her newfound family members. XO, Kitty season 3 definitely has room to explore Kitty’s connections to her roots and Korean culture amid all of the friendship and relationship drama.
