At its best, Kim's Convenience was one of the most heartfelt sitcoms on television. Ironically, for a show celebrated for representing the Korean Canadian immigrant experience, the series eventually stumbled due to a lack of Asian voices in the writer's room. The CBC series followed the Kim family — parents Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and Umma (Jean Yoon), who run a humble corner shop in downtown Toronto. As first-generation immigrants, they frequently come across generational and cultural gaps with both their children and the city's diverse customers.
