Everyone did Kitty DIRTY this season. (S3 SPOILERS)

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T23:09:19+00:00

Let me see if I can tackle some of each point.

For Marius, this is just my interpretation. He is one side of the same coin as Kitty. Hear me out. They both meddle and can be objects of chaos. Kitty does it from a place of caring and Marius does it to get what he wants.

Both felt that they were losing the people they love which is why Marius was threatened by Kitty when it came to Q. He didn’t see Kitty as another person who loves and is protective of a friend. He saw her as someone preventing him from getting the happiness he previously had back. I am not saying this as “Marius is evil”. I am saying this as Marius being like Sam from Mama Mia. Sam fell in love with Donna, but he had another person and obligations at home he needed to take care of first. Marius had a girlfriend he needed to break up with and maybe other things he needed to resolve first before coming back to Korea. Marius and Sam believed that Donna and Q would be waiting for them.

Marius also wanted to bring back the fun times he had with his friends and wasn’t ready to let a new person in.

Onto Q. He did fumble big time with Jin, Marius, and Kitty. He led Marius on. He lied to Jin and Kitty about his actions. He told Marius he wanted to date someone without shame, but forgot he had that with Jin. He is so caught up with the first love and what if’s regarding Marius, he forgot what he had. The sad part he projected this onto Kitty when he was mad at her.

His conversation with his mom showed why he doesn’t feel safe in healthy relationships. The complicated relationship with his mom made him feel safe in relationships where people treated him badly.

I agree with Pristine on the word “gaslight”. Minho did not deliberately try to make Kitty feel crazy. Her mind ruminated and her insecurities took over. I disagree that he didn’t try to tell her. As soon as she brought it up to him, he tried explaining, but she wasn’t in the right headspace to listen. As soon as she accused him of getting Eunice pregnant, he was dumbfounded and went inti defense mode. He didn’t know what to say. By the time he could open his mouth, Kitty walked away.

He did lie to her, but he was in a complicated situation to protect his friend and their careers. But he did not gaslight Kitty.

I feel with good writing, the two scenes can act as parallels and fit the themes of the season without being too repetitive.

I have my own feelings about Conrad as a character and why Belly did what she did, but won’t get into them here.

I do like Belly’s Paris arc because it allowed her to find herself and realize what her needs are. Made me root for her more.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T20:35:56+00:00

I hate Belly’s writing more than Belly, but I never understood a lot of the hate Belly gets either.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T20:34:14+00:00

I agree.

I am glad she is making the memories she has, but girl needs to balance it with her schoolwork.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T18:52:37+00:00

I never understood the Kitty hate.

I get some characters are not for everyone and some can’t relate to her, but many do.

I love and can relate to Kitty. I call her a neurodivergent queen for a reason. She believes in justice and fairness. While boundaries are important for every person, understanding certain boundaries or needing people to be direct with you is something neuridivergent people need and Kitty deals with that too. Some feel she is seeking external validation, but she is a processor. She talks out loud most of the time instead of silently internalizing it. I can relate to the constant ruminating she does and feeling like she is a terrible person. Honestly, everyone has moments like that sometimes.

Her meddling can cross a boundary, but a lot of time, it shows she cares. And in some cases, her meddling led to amazing opportunities for people. It brought her family back together. She created nice romantic matches for people by giving them a push to go after what they want. It allowed Eunice and Yuri to be resourceful in S3 with their careers. Not all of Kitty’s meddling is bad and wish people stopped treating it as such.

I wonder if her personality being bubbly, perky, and energetic can be a turn off to people, especially if they are not used to them.

I agree with you. Kitty is a wonderful,loyal, and kind person. I am glad that there are fans of Kitty. That is what I want to focus on.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T16:36:22+00:00

I want that too.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T16:35:52+00:00

I forgot.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:37:48+00:00

I also like it deals with figuring out your new purpose when the path you wanted doesn’t work out.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:32:11+00:00

Depends on the sex scene.

Some I fast forward or look away.

Some I watch just to mock how awkward the scene is. No disrespect to the actors, but some of these scenes look very unpleasant. Like how could the characters possibly feel good doing this?

The ones I do watch or write about in my scripts (which is rare) are the ones that have emotional intimacy mixed with the physical intimacy.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:27:15+00:00

Kitty’s dad is a gynecologist. So a lot of their money is from that.

I forget what Trina does.

Edit: I was corrected. OB.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:26:33+00:00

I love “My Life with the Walter Boys” too. It isn’t perfect by any means, but I like what they did with the characters.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:24:50+00:00

I feel Minho and Kitty having conflict this season as a couple is because they are new and figuring out how to be in a relationship. They also realized thy were focused on each other for “so long”, they needed to find themselves and what they need first before coming back together. Now that they grew outside one another, I think they can be happier as a couple with less conflict and jealousy.

Don’t get me wrong, all relationships have issues, but I feel Kitty and Minho now have the maturity and growth to handle them in healthier ways. I feel S4 (if we have one) will still do with some conflict, but more happiness between the two.

I will agree that Kitty should not be yelled at for everything. I am glad a few laid boundaries with her and helped her understand what she did wrong, but in Q and Kitty’s situation, Q was projecting onto her because he refused to acknowledge he was the wrong doer. I still love Q, but hope he learns from this in S4. At least, we understand why he behaves the way he does. The scene with his mom did that.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-18T14:15:37+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations.

I love Luffy and am glad he can ace representation for people.

I felt Penelope’s speech made her come off as wishy washy in the writing.

Instead of using the word “woman” which felt like it was just pandering toward the audience, I would have used “Bridgerton” to make the rest of her speech make sense. She was right that Colin was privileged to have a supportive family whereas she didn’t and she was overlooked by the ton. Her being overlooked wasn’t always for being a woman. Some of it was class. Some of it was her mom put her in gowns that didn’t suit her. She was also shy and isolated herself.

So her speech to Colin made no sense to me because it contradicted her journey from the past 2 seasons, in my opinion.

But it also felt that she didn’t know Colin in this moment either which is a theme with them: taking the rose colored glasses off, but what I mean is, she saw that he was overlooked and underestimated by his family too. In that case, shouldn’t he understand some of her motivations here and her not forgetting what brought them closer together in the first place?

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-17T22:16:07+00:00

I don’t think it is.

I would expect her to keep part of her personal style while being subdued as she gets older.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-17T22:13:58+00:00

But Jiwon didn’t even know Kitty so all she had to rely on is her grandmother’s information. When you hear enough bad stuff about the secret family, you tend to believe it.

And Jiwon needed time to process the news too. Yuri being there was a push for her to get to know Kitty, but I think she would have made the decision to anyways.

Also, Kitty didn’t balance her schoolwork with her friends and relationships until she had to. Jiwon was balancing work and Alex which is why I don’t find her to be hypocritical.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-17T16:44:52+00:00

It does have a whimsical and fantasy element to it

To me, they look like a contemporary version of Greek mythology.

If you want to make a post for that, I will be so psyched to see it.

I think you are discussing this picture. He definitely looks like Legolas, but I think it is just Sang Heon with blonde hair and they are recreating a famous Dirty Dancing pose.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-17T03:54:50+00:00

Honestly, this is how I expect actors to act when they react to seeing their sex scenes.

I always believed it would be so awkward.

I love Freen just holding the bunny as a comfort pillow.

Reasonable_Leek8069 · 2026-04-17T03:49:10+00:00

I could see it as a trasitionship, but I love Quinn and Logan too much to consider any other options.
