The season synopsis promises emotional choices and "surprise revelations" that challenge Kitty's plans.

How did XO, Kitty Season 2 end?

Season 2 wrapped on a dramatic note. Kitty's love life turned complicated as she developed feelings for Yuri even while trying to maintain her long-distance relationship with Dae. Just when she was building the courage to act on those feelings toward Yuri, Juliana appears, interfering with Kitty's confession. She ultimately decided to leave Korea with the intention of never seeing Yuri again. But it leads to a classic cliffhanger and a deeper unresolved romantic tension. That's because Min Ho enters with an unresolved arc, as Kitty feels sparks flying with him. This sets up the emotional focus of Season 3.Will the viewers see a Kitty and Min Ho endgame and their transition from friends to lovers, or will her attraction towards Yuri become a dampener? This is what forms the core of the new season.
