    Steven Yeun is so well spoken. I concur with him in that we are caught in a 3rd culture..where we have to validate ourselves or identify ourselves as either Korean or American but we are amalgamation of both and we are just who we are...so very true!

    this film is one of the best really. The casting was superb, especially Steven and YJ. Allan Kim showed depth no young actor in recent years have shown, and Han Yeri, who i clearly believed was the heart of this film, should have gotten a nod too (that last scene with Steven at the side alley of a store was deeply moving, and only an Actress with her caliber can deliver). I'm thinking, is the water in South Korea reallly that diffrent? How are this country producing these great acts? Like seriously? BTS? Bong Joon Ho? Now the cast of Minari? (arghhh).
