**Major spoilers for XO, Kitty Season 3 forward!**
But when Eunice decides to stop making music, Min Ho is left determining what’s subsequent for himself. It could have bene heartbreaking to listen to Kitty is enrolling in NYU, nevertheless it additionally lights a spark for Min Ho as he realizes he may additionally prioritize his ambitions first. And the reply he finds could shock viewers.
“I would say he finally found his way of deciding what he really wants,” Lee informed DECIDER in a latest chat. “He finally trusts his heart and sort of leads with it. … I’m very proud of him.”
It’s a delight to see Kitty and Min Ho lastly be collectively after two lengthy seasons. Though they hit some bumps on the best way, they arrive out on the opposite facet even stronger when Min Ho presents to hitch Kitty on her journey, this time – again dwelling to Portland.
Lee stated this transfer was “needed” of their relationship. “You have to consider that Kitty flew from another country and is just mostly trying to adapt and survive in Korea where she’s surrounded by different cultures,” he identified, including that she is “very welcoming” of the tradition shock. “Eventually, hopefully, if there’s another season, Min Ho gets to see what Kitty’s life was and sort of have a deeper understanding without actually hearing it from Kitty herself. And hopefully that sort of deeper connection sort of connects them both in a romantic way.”
Decider chatted with Lee about Min Ho’s future with Kitty, working with Lana Condor, and enjoying a heartthrob in Jenny Han’s universe.
DECIDER: I might love to begin off by listening to about what you considered Min Ho’s arc this season, each when it comes to his relationship with Kitty and likewise on this profession that he’s constructed for himself.
SANG HEON LEE: Well, I might say he lastly discovered his method of deciding what he actually needs as an alternative of dwelling on issues or attempting to determine what’s proper and what’s fallacious. He lastly trusts his coronary heart and type of leads with it. I may see the fervour and hopefully others characters noticed that as properly and type of perceive that he has this as properly, that he’s this type of particular person. Well, a minimum of I see him that method. So I’m very pleased with him.
We didn’t see as a lot of his father this season, however we noticed fairly a little bit of their relationship and the way a lot it’s modified. What did you consider his relationship along with his father?
I don’t essentially suppose that he seems like he must preserve this good relationship along with his father. It appeared like he now type of realizes, ‘My dad, he could be quite harsh sometimes.’ But there are some factors the place he realized, ‘I need to put my foot down. You know what? At this point, my friends come first. My lovers come first. My people actually, who care about me, and I care about them, they come first.’ It’s not like he doesn’t give a shit. It’s extra like he simply has priorities with individuals now. And so I wouldn’t essentially say that the connection bought higher or worse. It’s simply the best way how it’s. But I might say he has a greater threshold. […] I may sense that he bought stronger from Season 1.
I liked seeing the scenes that you simply shared with Lana [Condor] as properly. Could you speak a little bit bit about what it was like attending to work along with her? Did you anticipate to work along with her or have a shared scene along with her in any respect?
No, I did. I believe she was actually cool, to be trustworthy. That’s how I felt on the day. I imply, she’s proficient, she’s skilled. She introduced the vitality on set. I used to be completely happy to see Ana and Lana be like actual sisters on set. It was a touching second, actually. It was only a good factor to see.
What did you consider the season finale? We get to see Min Ho’s on his option to go see Kitty’s world for a change. What did you consider that?
I believe it’s type of wanted. You have to contemplate that Kitty flew from one other nation and is simply principally attempting to adapt and survive in Korea the place she’s surrounded by totally different cultures. She’s very welcoming. However, there are some challenges or there are issues that she doesn’t perceive. Min Ho, clearly, could be very assured and he simply feels extra settled. […] He hasn’t been in another person’s life, in another person’s sneakers or another person’s hometown. Eventually, hopefully, if there’s one other season, Min Ho will get to see what Kitty’s life was and type of have a deeper understanding with out really listening to it from Kitty herself. And hopefully that type of deeper connection type of connects them each in a romantic method.
Do you could have any hopes for the subsequent season? Maybe any hopes for Kitty and Min Ho’s relationship, or what Min Ho would possibly do?
I’ll be trustworthy. I type of do. I simply need my character to graduate. You know, it simply feels extra like a bow on a field, you realize, like, Min Ho’s lastly graduated. Yay. It simply feels extra proper. I do marvel how, from the Season 3 finale, I wish to see what Season 4 can begin like. I’m very a lot curious on the way it will grow to be. […] It could be good if everybody simply graduates. We may see Kitty graduate. We may see the entire like, an period of her spending time in Korea type of ending.
We noticed you’re employed with Noah Centineo in earlier seasons, and also you sort of had massive sneakers to fill as like the subsequent love curiosity within the Jenny Han universe. I’d love to listen to about your perspective of enjoying like a male love curiosity, particularly on this present and particularly for such a giant sequence, when you have any ideas on that.
Not significantly. Well, okay, I can’t say that I didn’t see any of that. I’ll see individuals saying the entire like MoonCovey factor. Personally for me, I get very defensive when […] it involves something good. Like there’s excellent news coming in or somebody complimenting my work. I’ll be like, okay, thanks. I suppose it’s nothing. […] It’s very endearing and I simply very, you realize, I actually recognize how individuals see it that method. But once more, as a solid, although, there may be loads of us, each should you see intently, everybody’s having that type of love drama relationship going by means of. So I wouldn’t say I’m, or Min Ho is the one highlight there. There’s loads of different individuals on the market. But once more, it’s very touching.
