SEOUL – American romantic comedy XO, Kitty, which is set in Seoul, has been well received in South Korea since its release last week. But the Netflix series has also been called out for its scenes depicting food, fashion and kissing.
South Korean viewers have taken to social media to point out unrealistic portrayals of life in their country in the show, which is a spin-off from Netflix’s popular movie trilogy, To All The Girls . The 10-episode series follows Kitty Song Covey , an American teenager whose late mother is from South Korea, as she moves to Seoul to look for true love.
Among the scenes in the teen drama that would not have happened in real life were the many depictions of kissing in the school library, which would have brought the wrath of the librarians upon the culprits. Other inaccuracies in the show include the protagonist placing a cupcake on her lunch tray, which some viewers said was unlikely to be served at a school lunch. To make matters worse, she placed the cupcake in the space where a bowl of soup was supposed to be.
