The funny, heartfelt story of The Kims, a Korean-Canadian family, running a convenience store in downtown Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Kim ('Appa' and 'Umma') immigrated to Toronto in the 80's to set up shop near Regent Park and had two kids, Jung and Janet who are now young adults. However, when Jung was 16, he and Appa had a major falling out involving a physical fight, stolen money and Jung leaving home. Father and son have been estranged since. |
22 mins 1/7/2020 1. The Trollop | |
Only the Mehtas and Janet and Gerald know thus far that Raj canceled his wedding, with only the latter two knowing he did so because he is still in love with Janet. When Janet runs into Raj, she can only admit to herself that she too still has feelings for him. Sensing an opportunity, Janet does whatever she can to spend time out with Raj, the problem being her burgeoning relationship with Nathan and he and the rest of the world knowing nothing about there ever having been a "Janet and Raj". Umma has already bought her dress for Raj's wedding - her fantasy dress from a high end boutique that costs more than she would normally pay for a dress - and when she learns from Janet that the wedding has been canceled, she wants to keep the dress anyway, while Appa wants her to return it and get their money back. Knowing that Umma won't do so voluntarily, Appa decides to take the dress back for her. Appa may have other things on his mind when he gets to the store. And Jung and Shannon decide to go out for lunch at what for Jung is the best burger joint in town. Upon arriving back at Handy, Jung relays a funny story about the interaction between the clerk and the line cook at the burger joint to great guffaws from his colleagues, but when Shannon cuts in to continue the story, she is stopped dead in her tracks. Why?: because Jung could get away using the thick Chinese accent to mimic that of the clerk, while she couldn't. That brings up the whole discussion, not only between Shannon and Jung, but also Kimchee and Sophie of when it is appropriate to mimic accents and for who it is appropriate to do so.
