The new Netflix series “XO, Kitty” takes some notes from the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” film trilogy, but it also branches out for youngest sister Kitty’s (Anna Cathcart) adventures to Korea. After getting the same scholarship that her mom got to study abroad at the Korean Independent School of Seoul, Kitty jets out to surprise her long-distance boyfriend Dae (Minyeong Choi), who happens to attend KISS. Things get a bit more complicated when Yuri Han (Gia Kim) dreams up a fake dating scheme to distract her mother from other parts of her life, and she chooses Dae to be her fake boyfriend.
And just like the “To All the Boys” movies, the “XO, Kitty” soundtrack is great.
K-Pop dominates the show’s episodes with big hits from BTS and BLACKPINK as well as Seventeen and more. The series also connects to Jenny Han’s films starring Lana Condor with songs like Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” which became Kitty’s mother’s favorite as well as Marina’s “About Love,” which played in “PS I Still Love You.” Anna of the North also had some songs featured in the films, and her song “Nobody” kicks off the Netflix series.
