Besides Jenny and Jaewoo, I loved reading about Jenny’s new friends and Jaewoo’s bandmates. One of the best things about this one was the engrossing story and the standout characters. When they reconnect in Seoul, after Jenny finds out who he really is (a K-pop idol who’s treated like royalty at the academy they attend), she also learns that he’s forbidden from dating. Jaewoo is a shy, protective boy who’s drawn to her. Jenny is a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it, and she’s funny too. XOXO is a story so great that I devoured it in one day. Jaewoo Is a K-Pop Star Who’s Forbidden to Date Oh, and he also goes to the academy where she’s now enrolled. She enrolls in the Seoul Arts Academy for the semester, and after arriving at her dorms, discovers the mysterious Jaewoo (who ghosted her after their one great night months before), is actually a K-pop star. A couple months later, Jenny and her mom land in Seoul. That night, he returns home to Korea and Jenny goes home to find out that her mom’s heading to Korea as well, to care for her ailing grandmother. When Jaewoo is reluctant to leave, Jenny challenges him to a sing-off, and mere hours later, they’re exploring the LA Korean Festival together. Jaewoo is a lost-looking boy who turns up at her uncle’s karaoke bar where she works. Jenny is an accomplished cellist with her sights set on attending the Manhattan School of Music. 76 In XOXO, Jenny Is a Cello Prodigy With Big Dreams

I have been rooting for Syndey to acknowledge her feelings for Adrian for a long time. My feelings for him have grown from a grudging acceptance as Adrian as a main character to a genuine respect and admiration for him throughout this series. There was no room for anyone but Dimitri in my heart.īut, in Bloodlines, I started to like Adrian. I liked him okay, but knew he was not Rose's perfect match.
