I love him so bad 😫💜✨️

for a straight lady, jenny han sure knows how bi awakenings work.
i just think that it would be funny if in season 2, yuri's mom just kicked all three of the guys out of KISS instead of letting Kitty back.
girls don't want boyfriends girls want yuri and juliana's relationship to be developed in season 2 instead of a cheap breakup plot.
part of the watchability of xo kitty comes from the fact that it's dumb, super cliched and borderline bad, but it switches up enough so that it makes everything decent to watch.
like, no one is a flamboyant stereotype; it's (as far as we know) straight boy minho who's obsessed with skincare and clothes, not Q the athletic scholarship boy. yuri is a feminine lesbian and so is Juliana. kitty being bi and not having a cheating storyline is honestly the most shocking part of this.
and the story ends with two potential love interests and doesn't go the 'bisexuals must end up with a girl to be bi' route, although i predict many fans will if kitty ends up with minho. and many people will also complain about 'straightbaiting' if kitty ends up with yuri, but i digress.
i can't believe that jenny han managed to hype me up more for the plot threads over the ships.
i talked about this in the tags of a different post, but i can't get over how xo kitty literally created one of the messiest plots possible for the three guys who aren't even really the focus. i spent most of my time biting my fingernails over small kernels of potential conflict with these losers more than the fucking pregnancy storyline and kitty's mum's first love. like they drew me in with the utter craziness that i kind of wish kitty's storyline had. dae, q and minho are bonkers in a fun way; kitty's storyline is bonkers in a boring, unsatisfying way.
i mean, think about it.
there's three roommates here: dae, minho and q. and ALL of them have such a messy relationship that is on the precipice of absolute disaster
q and dae: dae is poor; he clearly can't afford to go back to school without his scholarship. if he finds out that q knew about the cheating that florian did in order to stay in school and how that messed him up, he's definitely going to tell on florian and potentially get him expelled. dae might even break the friendship, since what kind of friend dooms you for their boyfriend of a couple of months? q is basically sitting on information that damns two people and he has to pick which person he's going to damn: his friend or his boyfriend.
dae and minho: most of the messiness of minho and dae comes from the fact that minho likes kitty and so does dae. the idea that minho and kitty might have been in love and screwing him over led him to pick a fight with the guy. in minho's case, he's kind of resentful that kitty was with him, and he didn't get his chance. dae let him go only after kitty swore that she wasn't into him, and it seems like he assumed that minho also wasn't into her. how is dae going to react when he finds out that minho confessed to his ex-girlfriend five minutes after their breakup? this relationship is probably the one that'll be exploited in the next season, and it's going to so bad in the worst way.
q and minho: this isn't really as messed up as the other two, but it's definitely messed up because of the other two. q is basically sitting on information that damns Dae, and minho definitely values his friendship with dae; he literally antagonizes kitty because he values and prioritizes dae over her. he's definitely going to take it well if q sits on something like this. if he finds out what happens with q, he's probably not going keep his secret. on q's side, minho is fucking up their friendship by professing his love for kitty, which could exacerbate q's guilt for sitting on that information. i could 100% see q picking dae's side in the inevitable fallout between dae and minho because of his guilt over dae
Xo kitty? More like Hellnaah kitty.
Considering the legacy of tatbilb to be followed, the pressure on the show is understandable. But what's not understandable is the levity with which the show was made. What could have been a great show with a storyline that popular media would adorree, was reduced to just poorly written fanfiction with y/n entering the dreamlands of Hanguk. And yet it is sad to notice the failed attempt in capturing the kdrama essence, leaving them in the in betweenness of American romcom and a kdrama. I can rave about the amount of cringe in it but I have an exam to study so bye. Again, the script is so poorly written and Kitty's character from tatbilb didn't deserve this.
Ps.the tension btw minho and kitty in his dream is UNDENIABLE
