• Why does Kitty travel to Seoul in XO, Kitty?▾

  Kitty Song Covey travels to Korea to attend KISS (Korean Independent School of Seoul), the same school her late mother attended, partly to feel closer to her mother's memory. She also hopes to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend Dae, believing they can finally have a real relationship in person. When she arrives, she quickly discovers that Dae has moved on and the connection she imagined isn't what she expected.

• What is the significance of Kitty's mother's past at KISS?▾

  Kitty's mother Eve attended KISS as a student and left behind a hidden legacy there, including a secret romance with another student named Jina. As Kitty investigates her mother's past through old letters and clues, she uncovers a side of her mother she never knew — including the deep bond Eve shared with Jina, who is now the school's principal. This revelation reshapes Kitty's understanding of her mother's identity and the full complexity of her life before marriage.

• What is the nature of Kitty and Yuri's relationship, and why does it become complicated?▾

  Kitty and Yuri begin as rivals — Yuri is Dae's girlfriend when Kitty arrives — but gradually develop a close bond built on honesty and mutual understanding. Their relationship becomes complicated when both begin to question their feelings for each other, eventually leading Yuri to acknowledge that she is gay and that her feelings for Kitty go beyond friendship. The emotional complexity is deepened by the fact that Yuri's controlling mother has orchestrated much of her life, including pushing the relationship with Dae, leaving Yuri little space to explore her own identity.

• Why does Min Ho's attitude toward Kitty shift over the course of the season?▾

  Min Ho initially antagonizes Kitty and views her as an outsider disrupting his social circle, particularly because of her connection to Dae. Over time, however, his antagonism gives way to genuine affection as Kitty challenges him in ways no one else does and sees past his privileged, performative persona. By the season's end, Min Ho's feelings for Kitty have clearly evolved into a romantic interest, setting up a central love-triangle dynamic heading into Season 2.

• What does Kitty discover in the letters she finds at KISS, and how do they change the story?▾

  Kitty finds love letters exchanged between her mother Eve and Jina, revealing that the two shared a romantic relationship during their time at KISS before Eve eventually married Kitty's father. The letters are pivotal because they force Kitty — and the audience — to reconsider everything about Eve's past, suggesting her life was more layered and unresolved than her family knew. This discovery also fundamentally shifts Kitty's relationship with Jina from distant authority figure to someone intimately connected to who her mother really was.
