She may be one of the most successful supermodels in the world, but even Kendall Jenner has insecurities.
Jenner recently sparked quite the conversation after footage emerged of her taking part in Kim Kardashian’s latest Skims campaign alongside younger sister Kylie Jenner.

With many commenting on how incredible the 25-year-old looked, Jenner took the opportunity to highlight that she also has “bad days too”.
“I am an extremely lucky girl. appreciative of all that I have,” she said in response to a fan on Twitter. “But I want you to know I have bad days too and that I hear you! you are beautiful just the way you are!!! It’s not always as perfect as it may seem.”

Jenner has previously been open about her body insecurities, opening up in an interview with The Telegraph, back in 2019, about comparing herself with sisters who are curvier than she is.
However, despite her struggles, the model admitted she has come to accept herself, embracing how she is unique. “I like that I have a different vibe to everyone,” she said. “I like to do different things. And that’s okay.”

Author Jenny Han is back with another teenage drama, but this time, it’s focused on the Gen-Z. XO Kitty is a spin-off of Han’s original ‘To All The Boys I Loved Before.’
This particular series focuses on the youngest Covey sister, who happens to finally live her own love story after meddling in the love lives of her older sisters. Katherine Song Covey a.k.a Kitty is possibly the bravest out of the three sisters. She goes after what she wants and isn’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeves.
Set in the beautiful city of Seoul (the land where all the romantic K-Dramas emerge from), XO Kitty follows the protagonist’s journey of finding love, forging a connection with her late mother and eventually finding herself amidst the chaos.
What sets this drama apart? It could have easily been a cliché narrative where the boy meets the girl, some silly confusion and then a happy ending. Han approached a different storyline with this show — instead of giving the viewers a simple comfort watch, she toyed with the idea of sexual identity and how feelings can be fickle in your growing years.
More than the romantic storylines in this show, it’s interesting to watch Kitty find friendships in a new country that become her ultimate source of strength through difficult times.
Teenage dramas are typically known for pitting young girls against each other over a boy. While in the beginning, it does seem like this show will take a similar route — but through the course of ten episodes, it pivots. A refreshing departure from the girl vs. girl trope.
Overall, XO Kitty is a perfect watch on a casual Friday night when you aren’t looking for any mind-utilising content. But after you finish the series, it will leave you in a warm and fuzzy place.
