That's what's so great about the show. Oftentimes, Asian-Americans are seen as foreign. And on the "nice" end of the spectrum people will curiously ask where they are from, and on the mean end of the spectrum people tell them "go back to your country" even if they were born in North America. And Kim's Convenience pretty much shows a normal Canadian family, not so different from any other family. Representation is so important.
@@ArcticZombie I think that it had to be Canada to make this kind of culturally sensible show because America and UK or any europe countries with majority being Caucasian are so prejudiced that they don't know how to enjoy this. Canada had to be that country mature and open enough to enjoy it. Other countries are not ready.
Yeongseo Lee what? Are you serious? Don’t believe everything you hear in the media. I am a 47-year-old white dude and this show is awesome. I guess fresh off the boat doesn’t ring any bells? This show could’ve easily been made in America, hell I was in the season three before I realized they were in Canada.
never heard of andrea bang till i watched kims convenience.. thought that her and the entire cast was p solid in terms of acting.. alot of genuinely funny comedic moments lol
What I like about the show is that they don't try to make it just about culture, but they also don't ignore it entirely, because while I am interested in other cultures and ways of life, I know that the people in those cultures are still people, with families especially.
Ya I totally agree with u. But I think that it had to be Canada to make this kind of culturally sensible show because America and UK or any europe countries with majority being Caucasian are so prejudiced that they wouldn't enjoy this. Canada had to be that country mature and open enough to enjoy it. Other countries are not ready. I lived in UK for very long time and I had to face lots of barriers and judgements that are too general. Few were willing to see me past the asian stereotypes, curious about my true nature. I was very happy to watch this sitcom which kinda gave me a hug.
This is the most underrated show on Netflix. Probably because it was on Canadian tv for so long. I'm a white American and even I can appreciate how amazing it is. You don't need to be Asian to love it.
My wife is Korean, half Korean daughter. The show stays true to what immigrants go through and how they actually see the world. Love the show and iis well written.
I absolutely adore each of the characters on this show, it's the first time, usually I like one or two characters in a show, but this one....the writing is clever, funny, and hands-down so well acted by each actor...I love it....it lifts my spirits, it's just what I needed during these hard times. Andrea Bang is absolutely fantastic!
Agreed. Love the family characters and I love the customer characters. The Dad actor in real life is an amazing guy who is very loving and professional. I've watched every episode twice and think I'll do it again
Tom seems like he does a great job; he knows his facts, he lets the guest talk and asks the right questions at the right time. It might be a good idea, though, for people who get nervous, to do a little talking before the camera/mikes are on and if anything interesting comes up, he can broach it again.
I introduced my cousin in Nigeria to the show on Netflix and his wife is now hooked. I really enjoyed the show. I hope most of the actors and actress hit it big in the future.
Love the show - any scene with Janet (Andrea Bang) and Appa/dad (Paul ?) is just HILARIOUS! I get excited when they both walk into a scene together. “STOP!”
I love Andrea Bang! She's a real cutie. Met her before and she's as sweet as she is cute. Cool down to earth chick. I Wish her the absolute best! Still crushing on her. She hates my impressions. Lol.
i can't stress how relatable the show is and i'm not even korean. i never heard of the show, but i watch korean media (from korea) just not in an obsessive way where i'm looking for korean media left and right and my cousin who doesn't watch any korean media (even though kim's convenience is technically canadian media) told me about this show and i got SOOO hooked. my cousin and i can't stress how relatable everything is in our south asian families. it's also very realistic in general. i just watched a movie where in this one part two high school seniors were talking about where they were going to school and they literally said columbia and nyu. other shows/movies try to dramatize EVERYTHING and make characters seem so perfect with miniscule problems but this show is so raw and i love that no one is perfect or even close to perfect. and so many asians, east and south alike, can relate hahah.
I really like Kim’s Convienience. I laugh out loud at so many of the the situations that come up. I really hope there are more seasons because it is a great show with a great cast.
I am a Kimbit and proud of it. Love Andrea Bang and really appreciated the easy-going interview style of Tom Power. An excellent interview on both their parts.
I love "Kim's Convenience"! I was born to an immigrant family (Armenian and Russian Jewish) and went to undergrad in Canada, so while this doesn't map directly to me, it's got a wonderful way of being relatable to so many audiences. Similar to "One Day At A Time" (about a Cuban multi-generational household). Also, this radio interviewer is great - he's got a wonderful way of guiding the discussion.
Loved her. I admire Genuine, open individuals who still hold on to their boundaries. The interviewer was great as well. I admire him being curious, understanding and acting like a host host :)
My daughter first told me about this show so my wife and I started to watch it. We became hooked. We binged on the whole series. We watched EVERY EPISODE. LOVE IT. Christy. Worcester UK xxxxx
This interviewer is so emotionally in-tune - what a guy! And Andrea is just a cutie. Good for you for breaking out of the mold that a lot of children of immigrants struggle breaking out of due to fear of disappointing our parents who want us to have that stable income. Don't ever say you are boring - what you did and continue to do takes a lot of courage.
I started watching the show with zero information beforehand but i ended up loving the show and each and every character. It is funny and relatable even if you are not an immigrant.
She is adorable! Love the show - I just started watching a few months ago, and as for her comment about people watching as a family, I just have to say that YES! I am watching with my teenage son and we both enjoy it.
The percentages of yes gifs for Andrea is going up big time. She’s adorable. She was absolutely amazing in Kim’s Convenience. What a great show with, fantastic writing and an incredible cast.
I love Kim’s Convenience. I found it on Netflix, last Summer, and recommended it to my teenaged granddaughter. We’ve watched all 4 Seasons together, at least 4 times.
I'm glad Netflix picked up this show, it's a very cute heart warming show that i didn't immediately warm up to but after a few episodes I've been binge watching since. I'm glad the show is popular well deserved
I have been watching it on Netflix. What a delight. It is like a kinder, gentler, Canadian version of All In The Family (Archie Bunker). I am dreading getting to the last episode of the 2 yrs on Netflix.
I love Kim's Convenience. The social commentary is never too heavy-handed, and the use of "slow release" humor (like in Corner Gas), where you need a split second, and then... "hey, what?" is perfection. The characters are not perfect which makes them so relatable (although, Simu has the usual impossible abs of TV-land... must be special effects). Things like Kimchee's (my favorite character) need to pick on Terence... such a twist and thought provoking... Terence is not "mainstream" (which is often the root of intolerance), but he's a good person... (which is why intolerance is so limiting). The awkwardness of the office manager, Shannon. Excellent comic relief. Mr. Kim has an edge, but is ultimately a lovable character --- Yes! We all know about Korean Independence Day now. Janet's encounters with all sorts of moral dilemma that don't go away... Just like her mom, so real. Derek McGrath ... Kung Fu comedy... you never see it coming. His is the perfect delivery of a punch line that is in the white space. We all know someone like his character. I could go on and on... but fans all know what I'm talking about. Here's to many more years of the Kims.
This is such a great show- our family just found it on Netflix and watched all 4 seasons and really loved it. The actors are wonderful - so funny and so heartfelt. The stories are so authentic and relatable and the characters are so likable. Looking forward to seasons 5 & 6!
We hope season 5 of Kim Convenience will happen because we enjoyed the show so much. Tom Power is a good interviewer. He made Andrea at ease during the interview.
I love Kim's Convenience, it's one of my favorite modern sitcoms. I have a Korean friend who's family owns some convenience store and he hates it... because "it's too accurate!"
I have loved this show since the first episode (which I watched several times!!) . It's not just Korean! Love it ! Absolutely amazing written and acting!
Started watching yesterday and I can say that this is one of the most genuine and funniest series that I have ever watched. All of the jokes are not forced. Love from the Philippines!!
I agree! Kim's Convenience is a SOLID SHOW and all the cast members performed MAGNIFICENTLY! Should bring back the SHOW and have APPA continue to say, "Ok see you!"
I love this show so much. as a Korean, sometimes this show looks so koreanish. I heard that except father , sunhyung lee , all members haven't lived in Korea. but how do they act korean so good? I hope this show wouldn't end.
Kim's Convenience is sooooo good. I'm not Korean, but so many characters act just like my family. It really is the perfect Canadian sitcom.
It should tell you at the end of the day we are ALL human.
That's what's so great about the show. Oftentimes, Asian-Americans are seen as foreign.

@Terran You mean Appa and Umma
@@Pulpswo Exactly! Nobody is that much different from each other at our core.
Corona Netflix binge & I found this hilarious show. Starting to think Corona is "sneak attack" ..
I see what you did there... ;)
I LOVE that expression, "sneak attack!", HAA this is soooo funny!!!!
WhAt YoU TaLkiNG?!
That would be amah-zing
i love that Corona is sneak attack lol
its about a korean family but many japanese, chinese, pinoy, indian, pakistani, bangladeshi etc can easily relate !! typical asian family :P
What's great though, also even small town Canadian/Americans can relate black/white whatever.
It's just about family I guess. We have different cultures and life styles. But, being a family isn't different that much.
Bat freakin Man yup! I’m filipino but I can relate on so many levels

This is the best series canada has produced in a very long while. Possibly ever. Love Andrea and the cast !
It's a great show, but check out Letterkenny.
Agreed!
Schitts Creek is a great show too. Too bad it's the final season.
And trailer Park Boys
Corner Gas. Corner Gas. But I love Kim Convenience too.
Man, he’s a great interviewer, hats off man, made her so comfortable
Dats Tom Power Newfinland fer ya
The begining was uncomfortable.
@@justahuman4862 that's what I was thinking
Andrea Bang is so humble 😭 I'm such a fan of her and the show
she has to be humble when she is so unattractive!
just finished all 4 seasons, for someone who's never really acted, she can turn on the tears in a heartbeat, love her relationship with Mr. Kim
Andrea you are natural,sincere and talented wishing you continued success
This is the most underrated show on Netflix. Probably because it was on Canadian tv for so long. I'm a white American and even I can appreciate how amazing it is. You don't need to be Asian to love it.
Ya, and think of how many all white ppl shows Asian people have to even appreciate
she is so adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO sad that the series is over. It deserves to be another Cheers lasting years and years.
My wife is Korean, half Korean daughter. The show stays true to what immigrants go through and how they actually see the world. Love the show and iis well written.
just learned she's 30... damn that asian genetics...
Dustin whaaaaaaaaa...
wow i just googled it and she's the same age as jung irl
TIL: Umma (Jean) is 10 years older than Appa (Paul).

That's sounds like what I told a co-worker, this was the first show in many years where every major character is likable.
Agreed. Love the family characters and I love the customer characters. The Dad actor in real life is an amazing guy who is very loving and professional. I've watched every episode twice and think I'll do it again
The writing on this show is so brilliant. Its like Seinfeld with a heart and no laugh track.
Tom seems like he does a great job; he knows his facts, he lets the guest talk and asks the right questions at the right time.
It might be a good idea, though, for people who get nervous, to do a little talking before the camera/mikes are on and if anything interesting comes up, he can broach it again.
@B P Good point
I love Kim’s convenience! 😍 The chemistry of the actors is amazing and it’s just so chill and happy going. Please bring more seasons! 💕
Andrea so sincere and cute! Her expressions are priceless and shes super funny
She is so cute
She sneak attack into the show ❤
She is such a sweetie!!! Can totally relate to being nervous in interviews :)
I see so much of myself in Janet’s character. Love Andrea’s acting and the show!
I introduced my cousin in Nigeria to the show on Netflix and his wife is now hooked. I really enjoyed the show. I hope most of the actors and actress hit it big in the future.
As a japanese Canadian, this show is so relatable
he is a good interviewer
this show is the perfect combination of funny and heartwarming. after the last episode, i immediately started watching it again from the beginning.
She’s like a human puppy. She’s absolutely adorable!
Love the show - any scene with Janet (Andrea Bang) and Appa/dad (Paul ?) is just HILARIOUS! I get excited when they both walk into a scene together. “STOP!”

Is Kimbit the official fandom term? I had no idea... totally labeling myself that too!
Yesterday I finished binge watching all 4 seasons, took me almost a week and I'm already wishing the 5th season would drop.
I just want to give her a hug.

I’m gonna slowly watch Season 4 because when it’s done, I’m gonna miss them all 😭😂 I never binge watch shows until this one. It’s so good!!
There’s going to be 2 more seasons
I love Kim’s Convenience so much. I love when a show can be funny but understands that you need that strong emotional appeal
the way koreans say appa and umma is so much like indians !! i love it :)

I love watching Kim's Convenience it is one good show I hope to see Andrea in more roles
Everyone needs a best friend like Janet🥰
Just saw it the other day and I am loving it.
Just watched in the UK it's characters are fantastic and funny , the show is well written and very enjoyable
AMAZING show!!! I wish all cultures here in the US could be represented with such great shows as Kim's convenience
