What I'm reading says that **どうだい、きに いったかい** translates to "Well, do you like
it?" The parts individually are translated as

> どうだい - How about
>
> きに - I can't figure out what **きに** means at all. Unless he is talking about
> trees.
>
> いったかい - you said?

Which kind of makes sense that he wants her to tell him what she thinks.

I'm having trouble understanding the sentance どうだい、きに いったかい
I think the issue is you are compartmentalizing the words in the sentence
incorrectly.

きに does not mean anything in itself. The phrase you're looking for is "気に入る"
(ki ni iru) which means "to like" or "to be pleased with".

~かい - this marks a yes/no question.

気に入ったかい？ = do you like it? (ki ni itta kai?)

どうだい、きに いったかい? = Well, do you like it?

answer
きに いったかい is a conjugated form of 気に入る (ki ni iru) which means to be fond of
something, or in your case to like, or be pleased with. I'm guessing いったかい is
a shortened version of いったくない。
