XO, Kitty Season 2 recap: Kitty's relationships take a complicated turn

XO, Kitty Season 2 was majorly about Kitty’s emotional growth, especially exploring love and her identity. She continues to have strong feelings for Yuri despite her desire to forget her.

Kitty’s struggle to cope with her feelings for Yuri and seeing her with someone else keeps her feeling conflicted. She continues to grow as a person she begins to express her identity openly, which is a step forward for her personally.

However, being honest about her identity does not make her relationships immediately easier. Instead, it adds more complexity and conflict to them. Kitty attempts to begin a new relationship with Praveena, who is someone she is very attracted to.

However, she is unable to give Praveena her full emotional attention, so their relationship does not work out. At the same time, Yuri's relationship with Juliana begins to deteriorate due to her unresolved feelings about Kitty.

Then there’s Min Ho, who made a surprising confession in Season 1. His bond with Kitty slowly develops into something more meaningful. By the end of XO, Kitty Season 2, Kitty begins to realize that her connection with him might be deeper than she initially thought.

The final episode of XO, Kitty Season 2 pulls together all the major storylines and finally exposes the truth behind the season’s biggest conflict. Stella, who had been pretending to be a normal student, is revealed as the one manipulating events from behind the scenes.

Her real motive was to get revenge on Min Ho's father who once rejected her during a talent show. Min Ho was in a relationship with her, but broke up when he realized the truth. However, Stella kept threatening him using Kitty and his brother's secret.

Thankfully, the situation flips when the truth is revealed publicly, taking away her control. Although her plan falls apart, she messed with Min Ho's mind. At the same time, other storylines also reach important turning points. Dae has moved on and focuses on his new relationship, while Yuri deals with the emotional fallout of her breakup with Juliana and the complications in her personal life.

The friend group feels more divided but also more honest than before. But for Kitty, these events helped her clear her mind. She finally realizes that her feelings for Min Ho are real. She wants to tell him everything, but it wasn't easy.

Min Ho was still reeling from the pain Stella gave him and was about to leave for a world tour with his family. In a bold move at the end of Season 2, Kity asks "Can I join you?" to which Min Ho nods his head and the two take off.
