Just watched Turning Red and supportive dark haired dad of few words that cooks has to be my favorite gender
(Edit: I recently rewatched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs cause many recommended the dad from there to be included in the list, but I’m sorry to tell you that he’s not qualified. Lack of hair aside, he’s not as supportive as those other three are until the last third of the movie. Marinette’s dad from MLB however does qualify.)
Live REACTIONS and FAVORITE THINGS about XO, Kitty S3:
Kitty and Q's friendship (their opening scene, Q agreeing w/Marius & then looking at "death stare" Kitty)
SCreamiNg, cRYinG, KiCking mY fEEt aNd GiGgliNG: MINHO AND KITTY ON THE CABLE CAR-Minho getting mesmerized by the view of Kitty, Kitty falling into his lap, the almost kiss then Minho clearing his throat..stop it right now
The banter is still just as good "Ahoy, mate!" ....Kitty being mistaken for a waitress genuinely is so funny. my poor bby
Kitty and Yuri's friendship already so <3 love my babies
Got so much second-hand embarrassment from Kitty that first episode, but it was good for the plot! Kitty lighting up on the floor was her most unfortunate moment yet! 😭 noo but I also love it for a season starter
More Korean
The friendship of Yuri & Dae, always <3
THE KISS <3 hallelujah! not the dress lighting up 🤣😭❤️
LJ and Kitty in New York #Roomies, They're so sisterly! KITTY POSING "CANDIDLY" and LJ taking the pictures
The natural convo of Kitty's sexuality and seeing Lara Jean be ok with it (this was never a question, but I just appreciate the mention) 💖💜💙
😭😂 Kitty painting her other hand a different color to look like she's meeting people to make Minho think she's having the time of her life
I kinda love and hate the inclusion of LJ/Peter having problems (love because it's realistic; hate because don't toy with me and break covinsky up for good! 😭)
Does Marius like Minho? Is that what it is? (I'll come back to this)
"Do you know me...AT ALL?"-Yuri (lol)
("See was that so hard? But no, I'd rather live with you") I hate Marius oh my god; being mean to Kitty (wat are u doing-you could literally be queerplatonic friends!)
I love that Jin doesn't care about Q and Marius hooking up in the past but uh oh (what's that look?)
I love the party scene and just chaos in one room <3
Yuri and Madison <3 (Yuri knowing to offer her boots for 100,000 more and then Madison thinking she negotiated well lol)
Nonchalant bf who pretends to hate his heart hat + Hyper gf who dances corny in the street -that was super cute
WOAH that kiss kind of shocked me (you know the one)
So many times in this season, I thought to myself, Kitty DO YOUR Homework!!
Praveena and Juliana are...not compatible, but I love how Praveena interacts with Yuri (not romantic, I want them to be besties)
the dedication to still showing Kitty and Yuri bonding over their mothers is appreciated
Eunice is such a cutie and I love her in her pop star era 💕
I'm enjoying Juliana and Yuri's friendship (more than the relationship...istg don't hurt Praveena)
Yuri being poor is hilarious
Are Jiwon and Alex not...? (why are they acting like a loser💕 couple with matching outfits <3) Are they developing a spark? edit: no, they were fake-dating oh...
I feel bad for Marius (watching Q and Jin kiss)
Some of Kitty's internal monologue's were genuinely funny ("Girl, read the room" "where WERE you last night?"--whErRe weRe you last night?"--"where were YOU last night")
Yuri and the dog
Daes sister!!!
I love Q's mom "This bitch is sick"...oh 😞 I hate Q's mom....oh I love her again?
"I'm also a screamer" Jin 😞omg 😭
Also Jin's speech <3 I love him!
wdym, "I'm responsible too" was the thing that clued me in that I was supposed to assume Minho got Eunice pregnant? Not us all trusting him so much we never batted an eye! Lol
I knew Kitty would catch Minho in a lie at the restaurant and I still dreaded it when it came (idk why I'm all about the drama of finding a pregnancy test in a public bathroom, though? this ep is exciting)
Appreciate Q's talk with his mom about choosing people; it surprised me (in a good way)
DAE?!? GOT EUNICE PREGNANT (that shocked me. I thought it was Tae-Oh from the tour)
Did you sleep with Eunice? 🤭 (i kno Dae is dying from this conversation rn 😭)
MORE Lara Jean <3: her hair flip: her aura, her willingness to drop everything for Kitty, HER Kitty and Jiwon (and Alex), her talking to Kitty about their mom. They're stressing me for the possibility of her and Peter not getting back together tho (and Kitty and Minho)
Eunice and Minho's friendship <3
Dae's awkward breakup advice with Q ("Wait...am I good at this?")
Again...I'm enjoying Juliana and Yuri's friendship (more than the relationship...it's making me want them to grow back together now lol...but if they got together I think I'd wish for them to be apart again. a dilemma...)
Lara Jean and Minho (her being judgemental of him was perfect!)
I find the Jin and Marius feud/(maybe) future friendship funny now. Yup, gimme more
Eunice and Dae 💘🤍💙
Not Kitty speaking Korean 😢
Peter and LJ are back!!! (Now, give me my Minho/Kitty endgame too)
Kitty's birthday party in general was just ❤️🥺
I really liked the Dae and Minho we did get, including the little montage moments in Busan
Dae and Jin's "I love you" was so heartwarming, just as much as "part of me wants to make you grovel..like forever." idc they're true love
I'm so glad the door closing was a fakeout because I was already mad from the gate scene like, "MINHO IF YOU HAVE TIME TO TEXT A SONG, YoU hAVe tImE tO tEXt 'WAIT'!
"You what?" (I thought it was Kitty's line from season 1, to learn it's LJ's!!...I totally forgot <3❤️💛)
(as always) enjoyed a lot of the music
(Random) Commentaries:
- I really love Minho and Kitty being more expressive. I don't just mean the obvious communication, but all of the little expressions of Minho being straightforward by saying "I'm glad you invited yourself" or "I'm really lucky to have you", and Kitty saying "look for me in the crowd" quite flirtatiously. I really love this new dynamic of being more divulging of deep information in this "will we, won't we" stage, and Minho being eager to offer up how he feels because he can tell Kitty likes him now (leading up to the tour)
- I love how Dae's in the middle of Kitty and Minho's fight and how he just comedically removes himself from the room, only to place himself into getting them back together later (symbolism!! 💕)
- On track with these last two points: NoT KiTTy sAyiNg MiNho's fiRsT loVe being aRoUnd hIm mAkes heR feel kiNd oF wEiRd aS Dae's just leFT the Room!!!😂 (I don't know if this was intentional but I love this kind of humor) i love them!
- I appreciate the future talk. The way it happened really solidified Kitty and Minho as a serious couple that you don't often see depicted in high school along w/merging lives established in 2 separate nations
- I feel bad for Jiwon's pressure of meeting expectations from Halmoni. I appreciate the storyline being included (again more matute themes and topics). That dinner was rough.
- I don't blame Marius for being demeaning to Q's worth while being stuck in the closet. But he also shouldn't get back with Q (as he said)
- I enjoyed the inclusion of more mature topics and Eunice dealing with a pregnancy scare
- Q crying + yelling outside the restaurant was peak drama, even if it was cheating drama. props to Anthony Keyvan
- The emphasis on Kitty's independence: The lines from Jiwon about not focussing on a boy (she was lowkey projecting but it's ok), Lara Jean's insistence on it, Kitty and Minho having a convo closely related towards this topic and Kitty providing her own wisdom on Minho's uncertainty)
- "Maybe he will, maybe he won't" -the line from Minho about his dad coming around. Growth. (I appreciate that depiction in a television series: The non-closure but settlement of peace)
