    I really enjoyed Kim’s. Simu is an amazing actor with great depth and kind personality.

    I'm from Sri Lanka (close to India) and I love Kim's Convenience. Most of my friends do as well. It is such a wholesome show and despite obvious strains in relationships it never turns ugly or cruel because at the core everyone is bound by a whole lot of love for each other. For example sometimes I hate Kimchee because of how he treats Jung but you can see the love. It's complex but it's there. Also, Simu pls visit our country sometime

    Kim's Convenience is of the best shows that's come along in ages, my wife and I just love it, and interviews like this help me love it even more. Also, Tom Power needs a lot more credit for being such a good interviewer and host. Super Newf!

    Wow Simu spoke really, really well here - especially around the conversation around immigration families - very real, and I want a link to this letter he wrote now! I'm also happy that his parents didn't feel gaslighted or more distanced!
    👏
    He also advances the conversation around challenges with Asia-America (and Asians in western countries... and actually immigrant families to western countries in general)

    Time to watch season 4 of Kim's!!!

    I love Simu and his character as Jung but Kimchee has to goooo. No offense, but I don't think he (Kimchee) is a good character as he is not funny and he's not good at acting.

    • @gmail7894
      @gmail7894 Před 4 lety +8

      Kimchee is awesome. Whach talking abt. Both Jung and Kimchee are awesome. If he is acting bad it might be coz of character turning that way. For me season 1 was the best.
