XO, Kitty

XO, Kitty follows Kitty Song Covey, the lovable teenage matchmaker from the 'To All the Boys' franchise, as she embarks on her own journey of self-discovery. Kitty, played by Anna Cathcart, moves to South Korea to attend a prestigious boarding school where her mother once studied. Seeking to reconnect with her late mother's past and to find true love with her long-distance boyfriend, Kitty's adventure is filled with unexpected twists, friendships, and relationships. As she navigates this new chapter of her life, Kitty learns that love is more complex than she ever imagined, and that sometimes the person you need to understand the most is yourself.

Critics have had mixed reactions to XO, Kitty, as reflected in its average rating of 6.5/10 on IMDb.
