XO Kitty Season 3 has officially wrapped up, bringing a total of 8 episodes that delve into the intricate relationship between Kitty and Min Ho. The season culminates in a pivotal moment where the two characters, after a series of misunderstandings, finally confess their love for each other.
Throughout the season, viewers witness the evolution of Kitty and Min Ho’s relationship, which transitions from enemies to friends and ultimately to a romantic couple.

Kitty’s character development is notably influenced by her relationship with Min Ho, as she navigates personal growth throughout the season. Showrunner Valentina Garza notes, “When Kitty and Min Ho have this breakup, it really causes Kitty to look inside herself and figure out what’s important for her and have personal growth.” This introspection is crucial for Kitty as she learns to embrace her identity and desires.
The season finale features a touching scene where Kitty and Min Ho share their first kiss and say “I love you,” marking a significant milestone in their relationship. This moment serves as a callback to the Season 1 finale, where Min Ho comforts Kitty on a plane, creating a narrative symmetry that fans appreciate.
Anna Cathcart, who plays Kitty, emphasizes the importance of banter in their relationship, stating, “Banter is so important in a relationship, and Kitty thrives off that.” This dynamic adds a layer of authenticity to their interactions, making their romantic journey relatable to viewers.
