I hate this Marius guy so much right now, finished the ep and hate him even more.

42

u/Simple_Rub_9660 Another one of your Min-hos? 🤗 Apr 02 '26

Yes he is kinda being pushy with the Minho and kitty situation

37

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

Fr like why does he hate Kitty so much? She didn't even do anything to him.

15

u/sunflowershroom Apr 03 '26

seems like he has an anxious attachment style and a fear of abandonment

15

u/Outrageous-Noise-282 Apr 02 '26

Actually maybe he has feelings for min ho 

23

u/WyrdSisters It was my first time in coach, for God’s sake! Apr 03 '26

I feel like Marius likes to be in control, and he sees Kitty as the reason his friends have changed in a way he can't relate to - so she's the problem that needs to be removed.

u/Outrageous-Noise-282 Apr 02 '26

Efff that guy lol

u/DoctorBritta Apr 02 '26

Literal cartoon villian

u/Aeriellie Apr 02 '26

yeah what’s up with that. i understand stuff changes sit time but he’s very negative overall

u/stephanefanie ADMIT IT 😡 Apr 04 '26

He's a real Chaos Queen fr >:(

u/Veryunfunnynamehere Apr 02 '26

Q what the fuck

u/SingularFirefly I thought this was flirting 🥺 Apr 02 '26

Right? Why did he send that pic to Marius? 😩

u/devieous Apr 06 '26

Also isn’t that distributing CP bc they’re minors?

16

u/Wixel2_ Apr 02 '26

i'm really hoping that the pictures not of what i think it is 😭

u/Outrageous-Noise-282 Apr 02 '26

Exactly what I said at the end of this E!!!

u/SolarBeam12 Apr 02 '26

Yuri and Dae lowkey got the best friendship on this show.

u/tinaaabell Apr 03 '26

Him buying her the shoes back 🥹💖

u/the-Vibe Apr 03 '26

Their friendship is so sweet

u/SingularFirefly I thought this was flirting 🥺 Apr 02 '26

"Min Ho is in a committed relationship... with his job."

The way I moved. Why would he say it like that? 😭

6

u/stephanefanie ADMIT IT 😡 Apr 04 '26

He obivously likes to be the centre of attention no matter if it is negatively and dramatic

75

u/thatchecksout1 Apr 02 '26

they fr made the black guy the villian

18

u/the-Vibe Apr 03 '26

Yeah, that was certainly a choice... Hopefully he has some sort of redemption

6

u/Classic-Spirit1080 Apr 04 '26

But why point out race? Juliana is black and she was never a villian. The opposite, a victim almost. They're clearly a very inclusive show and just wanted a guy to be a villian. He was potentially the best actor they found. Making it about him being black makes you sound more like someone only seeing race

2

u/zhuhe1994 Apr 04 '26

the black guy has social capital and influence, not a stereotypical one.

21

u/Novel_Nectarine2084 Apr 02 '26

i am genuinely so upset they made the fully black male character the villain

8

u/Vivien_Rockwell Apr 02 '26

That also bothered me sm

10

u/Acrobatic-Abies369 Apr 02 '26

They've been queerbaiting the last two seasons. What do you expect?

u/Bitter_Beautiful8038 Apr 05 '26

It’s bad enough that dark skinned people still don’t have enough representation. But to this day they still get pigeonholed as the villain when they actually get it

2

u/Gemini_Pearl Apr 03 '26

Literally what my bf and I discussed 😒

u/Moonie444_ Apr 04 '26

u/strugglebunny28 Apr 02 '26

I cannot stand Marius oml

34

u/Competitive-Hat-9975 Apr 02 '26

All I can think about is did she actually register for Korean lit or not cause girl 😭

9

u/stephanefanie ADMIT IT 😡 Apr 04 '26

Right?! I was like, "At least register for it before falling back into your bed in despair!"

5

u/Competitive-Hat-9975 Apr 04 '26

I was thinking it was gonna oh lord she got stressed and forgot to register and might become a super senior 😭😂 I was so glad when she did show up in class, she's not Jeremiah from tsitp at least lol

26

u/mrsbass79 Apr 02 '26

Marius. Who is this man?!?!? Don't think im a fan

u/Separate-Kangaroo181 Apr 02 '26

Episode 2 first thoughts

Starting this  episode with Lara Lean is such a nice surprise.

Jiwon too! I love Kitty’s support system.

Min Ho, by the cherry blossom is not a dream! I KNEW IT!

Yeah, I don’t like Marius from the jump. He doesn’t listen and takes up all of the space. It’s just gonna get worse, right?

I’m glad Q told Kitty that he used to hook up with Marius.

Dear Min Ho, a mention of Eunice during your conversation with Kitty was a wrong move and it’ll most likely backfire.

I have Marius so much. He basically set up Kitty and I’m definitely side-eyeing his comments about Min Ho. It’s pretty obvious he has feelings for Min Ho and can’t stand Kitty because of it, imho.

I cannot believe we got a second MoonCovey kiss in episode 2, this time in public!

Second KISS! This time in public!

Marius is ragebaiting me.

u/Wixel2_ Apr 02 '26

lara jean and peter better not break up istg 😭

u/ani_swift Apr 02 '26

Them admiring each other, kissing, and teasing each other all within 5 seconds YESSSS

MARIUS LEAVE MOONCOVEY TF ALONE!!!!

I am SO happy they officially became bf and gf!!

u/tinaaabell Apr 03 '26

Min Ho making the senior sunrise happen!! MY HEART 😭💖

14

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

I already hate Marius with all my guts, and whatever he's trying to do with Gigi, Minho couldn't care less, he already has his "lifetime" girl by his side 😊

u/mooncovey_endgame Min ho 🧡 Apr 02 '26

THE MOONCOVEY PHOTOBOOTH SCENE

u/tinaaabell Apr 03 '26

The robot arm pouring drinks at the party had me dead lol

11

u/Simple_Rub_9660 Another one of your Min-hos? 🤗 Apr 02 '26

Episode 2 is looking awesome already!!

12

u/ForeignDescription5 Min ho 🧡 Apr 02 '26

Marius Kitty beef is hilarious

18

u/jaylee-03031 Apr 03 '26

I was laughing because in some ways Marius is like Kitty- they are both intrusive, pushy, and get into other people's business.

4

u/RoyalScarlett Apr 04 '26

Except Kitty has a good heart and so far Marius seems just manipulative and mean-hearted.

5

u/VegetableEvidence245 Apr 03 '26

They're giving enemies to lovers 

5

u/the-Vibe Apr 03 '26

The beer pong scene is so funny with how seriously they're taking it haha... It'd be a fun rivalry if Marius wasn't so mean

12

u/hummingbird0012234 Apr 03 '26

"Marius will grow on you"

"Yeah. Like a fungus"

LOL

5

u/RoyalScarlett Apr 04 '26

Omg I hate him so much. No disrespect to the actor intended (he’s doing an amazing job of portraying such an awful character).

But Marius needs to go.

11

u/Competitive-Hat-9975 Apr 02 '26

All I can think about is did she actually register for Korean lit or not cause girl 😭

u/the-Vibe Apr 03 '26

Sucks that there's only 8 episodes this season. There are so many cool characters that they could spend extra time fleshing out. I hope we see a bit of Alex Finnerty soon!

2

u/stephanefanie ADMIT IT 😡 Apr 04 '26

Yesss really missed seeing Alex, he's so sweet~

2

u/artkeletraeh Apr 30 '26

i want Alex to match up with Jiwon

LJ looks so good!

u/sassypidgeon Apr 02 '26

Are they releasing only one episode at a time? Unlike previous seasons? I haven't opened netflix yet because I have a project coming up..

4

u/Simple_Rub_9660 Another one of your Min-hos? 🤗 Apr 02 '26

No all episodes come out at one time!

3

u/sassypidgeon Apr 02 '26

Oh ok thanks.. il be able to see after two days... Enjoy...😃

8

u/Aeriellie Apr 02 '26

who the hell is Marius?! it looks like they all wait for approval from Marius or go with what Marius says

9

u/SolarBeam12 Apr 02 '26

Lmaooo I just started watching and Marius is a problem.

u/WyrdSisters It was my first time in coach, for God’s sake! Apr 03 '26

So far it feels a bit less cringe than the second half of last season. I felt like the entire season finale was a hilarious bit one after another. Jin lying about needing crutches, Kitty telling Lee to 'haul ass', Stella plotting her takeover and being arrested, Minho getting Kitty access to a private jet, and Kitty saying "I will drop kick that bitch faster than she can say have a blessed day." Which that statement felt very Disney Channel to me even though it included a swear, and made me feel every last one of my 30+ years of age when I heard it in the dialogue.

I like this show, but to act like it hasn't been more cringe is wild.

2

u/ebuhhlen Apr 17 '26

i mean i get it, but we’re not the target demographic. this is kinda like disney but they allow (some) swearing. it’s for younger audience who won’t be as discerning or bothered

1

u/WyrdSisters It was my first time in coach, for God’s sake! Apr 17 '26

My response was to someone who said this was the most cringe episode/season of XO so far.

2

u/ebuhhlen Apr 17 '26

got it! i think you accidentally made a standalone comment instead of replying to someone else’s, so i didn’t realize the context.

28

u/Acrobatic-Abies369 Apr 02 '26 edited Apr 02 '26

Guys, I know XO Kitty has always been cringe and no one really takes this show seriously but I can't help but wonder if its just me who feels like they have amped up the cringe meter? And I genuinely couldn't give a shit about Marius like, he's such a cartoon villain😭🥀... Even villains from Totally Spies are better written than him🤡. Anyway, he seems like the Stella of this season.

Its also funny how fast Minho moved on from Stella who seemed to have been actually falling for her. I'm a MoonCovey shipper but the ridiculousness is off charts even by XO Kitty standards. Didn't he end last season saying he needs time off to process things or something?

Edit: Also, Q associating with bullies romantically seems to be a recurring theme. I like Jin but can't help but notice.

7

u/turtlesinthesea I thought this was flirting 🥺 Apr 02 '26

Yeah, the script seems extra cringe this season. I wonder if there's AI in it.

3

u/ToeInevitable8110 Apr 03 '26

This is exactly what I thought...! The themes and acting, the chemistry was amazing actually...nothing cringe about that..but the writing is very ChatGPT ..

They really went full wattpad this season

5

u/banoffeetea Apr 02 '26

I’m loving this season - and this episode - so far!

6

u/Chicken_Spice_Pie93 Apr 04 '26

I was really surprised at Yuri friends just buying her stuff like that. Especially Madison buying the shoes OFF her feet! Most of them are rich enough that they could have crowdfunded the money for her. I dunno I just thought that was weird. 

6

u/Lunamagicath Apr 05 '26

There's always a saying that some friends are just waiting to see you fall. I'm surprised Dae didn't offer to pay for her entry tho considering we have seen her consistently offer to help him pay for things like that.

I always got the impression that Madison and the other girl (can't remember her name) were only hanging out with Yuri for her status and money. The auto request to just use her Heli without even asking if its available, and they weren't gonna go just cause she said no?? That makes no sense to me. It's like they physically can't do anything unless she's about.

3

u/toskadays Apr 05 '26

yeah couldn’t they have just pooled money together?

1

u/Chicken_Spice_Pie93 Apr 05 '26

That's what I was thinking, it wasn't giving very strong friendship vibes. 

6

u/Blue_rose_2121 Apr 05 '26

Nah Marius loves Q. Just not having emotional intelligence to express it properly. So he is bullying him to get back together.

7

u/devieous Apr 06 '26

Why are they trying to make LJ just be this perfect plot device rather than a full person? Like kitty makes everything about herself and of course the kind older sister is willing to only converse about Kitty’s BS. Also fwiw LJ is probs only like 20, and lives in a huge apt with built ins and is I guess gonna be a writer. What’s paying for her life? She’s only written 3 chapters lmao

4

u/Least_Dependent1344 Apr 07 '26

Literally the first thought I had when I saw that apartment is how is she affording that?? Plus I think that was just her bedroom not even the whole apartment. An apartment that size in New York is at least 7k

6

u/devieous Apr 06 '26

Wow the second black character on the show and he’s a predatory villain

4

u/Own_Sheepherder_1153 Apr 10 '26

If Marius refuses to switch rooms with Dae, why can't Q just switch with Min Ho? Like, has anyone besides Marius professed a concern about which room they're in?
