Mooncovey's Dynamic in Season 3

I've seen a lot of posts here and on other social media proclaiming the discontent for Minho and Kitty's lack of chemistry after they started dating. I'm usually someone who falls into this category. I enjoy the electric tension and yearning before two characters get together but once they do I usually grow bored of the relationship.

This is not the case for Kitty and Minho.

And I think it's because as much as I enjoy them together, I enjoy them as individuals more. Their ship is amazing. They have the kind of natural chemistry that just draws you in and their banter is so fun. Their dynamic is perfectly healthy for teenagers still learning. They are everything I wanted in a cute romcom ship. But they are also amazing as individuals. I love them outside of their relationship too. I loved their personalities and seeing them grow and learning everything there was to know about their characters.

Which is why them getting into a relationship did not deter me from enjoying seeing them together. Yes, I can admit that I felt like they lost some of their tension. But that's usually the case with most couples. In fact, the tension was back in full force during their breakup so that didn't last very long. They were great together. I learned so much about them individually that I already knew and prepared myself for what they would be like in a relationship. I knew Minho would be incredibly affectionate and soft and just doing the best he could to keep her by his side. And I also knew Kitty would be her usual chaotic self who loves being in love but also very afraid. Which of course she would be after how her past love life turned out to be.

So maybe a bit of their tension faded. They were no longer in that 'will they, won't they' dynamic so I feel like that's natural. Maybe their banter changed too. Very flirtatious but none of that former bite. But they were exactly what I expected when I thought of them together. Completely sickeningly adoringly in love with each other. But I very much appreciate Minho and Kitty as individuals. It's very rare that a writer can make me invested in the characters, not the story. It's the characters I love. I just want to see them literally do anything at this point. And its that love for these characters that made me want to know everything there was to know about them. And I've been waiting for Minho and Kitty to get together for three years now so how could I possibly be disappointed when my wish finally came true?

Their relationship was everything I expected and more. And it's because I enjoy them individually even more than I enjoy having them together and understand their characters that I'm able to look past any 'lack of tension' during a very short period. I'm still very hopeful for a season 4. Not just because I want to see them grow even closer in their relationship but because I just want to see them. On my screen. No matter what they are doing.
