No idea what to do with my life & so I blog.

Some people are being so weird about them :/ They were literally my OG ship back in season 1. Season 2 kinda ruined them though...ugh

Honestly, same. I really hope Season 3 moves away from the love triangles and focuses more on individual character development. I'd love to see a deeper exploration of Kitty’s growing feelings for Minho. One issue I’ve had with the show’s writing is how fleeting her romantic feelings can feel. One moment she’s madly in love with Dae, and the next she’s head over heels for Yuri.

That’s why I actually appreciate how the relationship between Kitty and Minho has been written so far. It’s been a refreshing slow burn, from annoyance to reluctant friendship to something genuine that’s slowly evolving into more. It feels more grounded and realistic compared to the typical “insta-love” often shown in teen dramas, where characters are portrayed as impulsive and spontaneous when it comes to emotions.

I also hope we get more of Minho’s backstory. His dynamic with his family seems layered and could add real depth, especially if written with some emotional weight. Season 2 also set up a promising new arc for Yuri, so there's plenty of room to grow without relying on tired love triangle tropes.

Yes, they did reshoot it—but even in the original Season 1 finale, she already had a subtle hint of a smile. That moment was actually pointed out in the comments way back in 2023, and it was part of what sparked early hype around the possibility of their pairing. But to be honest, I don’t think it ever blew up enough for the production team to fully catch wind of how fans felt about that scene because there were other more obvious factors that made fans see the potential in this pairing. The smile was too subtle for anyone to really notice—let alone make enough noise for the production team to pick up on it and add it in as fanservice. It’s more than likely that it was already planned in their storyboarding—they just decided to make it a little more obvious this time around.

Her slight smile in the original cut was already an intentional directing choice—just like him calling her “Covey.” So unless the fanservice really started all the way back then, which wouldn’t make much sense, it seems more likely that those details were just part of the narrative plan from the start. Sure, they directed her to smile a little more in the reshot version, but that raises the question: is it really fanservice if the seed was planted from the very beginning?

Personally, I don’t think Mooncovey is fanservice at all. Their dynamic has been simmering quietly in the background since season 1—subtle, yes, but consistent. Just because it wasn’t front and center from the beginning doesn’t mean it wasn’t being developed. The groundwork was there: in their interactions, the way they understood each other, the little moments that hinted at a deeper connection. It’s just that the story took its time unfolding, and now that it’s coming to the forefront, it feels earned—not sudden or forced. And frankly, they had the most natural transition from annoyance to reluctant friends to an actual friendship.

As for Minho, I understand why some viewers might have overlooked him in season 1, especially when compared to characters like Dae and Yuri, who had more elaborate setups from the start. But that doesn’t make him any less important. From his very first appearance, Minho played a meaningful role in Kitty’s journey, just as much as the others did. As the story unfolds, his character gradually develops in ways that feel intentional and organic, ultimately intertwining with Kitty’s arc in a way that brings things full circle.

This pattern is mirrored in the season finale, but with the order reversed—first, she meets Dae (who, after their breakup, is no longer a contender in her romantic journey), then Yuri (who she shifts her interest toward), and lastly, Min Ho. This structured progression suggests that Kitty’s romantic journey isn’t about being torn between two people at once (like how Belly was in TSITP), but rather about passing the baton from one love interest to the next as her feelings evolve.

Min Ho himself foreshadows this idea in a mid-season episode when he brings up the three categories of relationships: "A reason, a season, or a lifetime." This statement perfectly aligns with the show's portrayal of Kitty’s love life as a relay—not a triangle.
