      I’m not. It’s a testament to the talent of both actors that we see Appa and Omma as so different than Paul and Jean.

    Paul is a great actor. Really like his role in the show. He is authenticate and believable. Janet is another character that keeps growing on me. She is funny. Love all of them. Great show. Kimchee is hilarious. He is one of my favorite characters in the show. Hope to see more of the show in coming years.

    Jean Yoon, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and the entire cast are terrific! I think it's probably one of the best half-hour comedies on television. Period. Also, since I lived in Toronto for years and years, I like to play, "Guess the Neighbourhood" when they show exterior shots.

    The relationship between Mr. Kim and Janet has grown to be my favorite part of the show.
    They are two sides of the same coin, neither will back down to the other, but at the end of
    the day they share a love/distinctive bond and wish to please one another that I find really touching.
    One of my favorite character dynamics in television history, and they're only four seasons into it!

    Growing up in Toronto Ontario Canada was a challenge for myself being Japanese Canadian in the 60's to 90s.
    I never had role models ie Paul,Jean,Uni,Simon,Andrea.
    All I had was movies like the Flower Drum Song and that was it.
    White and Black people had The Jefferson's and Leave it to Beaver,Happy Days,etc.
    Most of my life ,for me I felt invisible.
    If I was my sons age ,20,I would feel pretty good about myself.
    Great show , Kims Convenience 🏪

    Kim's Convenience is brilliant, in a way similar to Que Pasa USA. It's so important and validating to see the stories of immigrant families, especially fascinating to see how that straddling of cultures happens for those first generation children of immigrants. I'm kind of curious, though, to see more about the back story. Like, more about Appa & Umma's lives in Korea before moving to Canada.

    i didn't really care for kimchee in the 1st season , but as season 2 came along, he became one of my fav characters. Actually all of them are good so i hope to always see them all there. it's rare when all of them just feels real and human, i binge the whole season 1-4 in 2020 and wish i found them earlier. i thought they would be tokenize and i didn't bother with "westernized" asian shows because it feels forced usually imo. HOWEVER, Kim's Convenience, whether asian or not, was not only funny but the characters feel real. i hope to see this show goes on for a long time
