This television series is about a Korean immigrant family of four living in Toronto, Canada. The family owns a convenience store, named Kim’s Convenience. Each episode recounts the humorous daily life of this family set in the convenience store. The family consists of two older children named Jung and Janet, a father whom they address as “appa” and the mother, “amma.”

The show is comedic but talks about issues that are geared towards an older audience, which is evident through the many curse words used throughout the show. I would recommend this show to an audience above the age of ten because of the language and topics discussed. Personally, my favorite character is the father because of his dramatic reactions to events that occur in the show and his opinions about topics within each episode. This show is both humorous and relatable.

Kim’s Convenience provides valuable insight into the life of an Asian immigrant family living in the city. The show is funny, cute and realistic. It brings up important topics in a comedic and relatable way, making it accessible for most viewers. I think a show like this would be interesting to watch for UNIS students because of the diversity of our student body. Many parents of students at UNIS are immigrants and as this show is about an immigrant family, these students could find it relatable and entertaining. It depicts the life of Korean-Canadian immigrants and their first generation Canadian children.
