It makes me so sad to know how hard the cast members had to fight for their voices and accurate + respectful portrayals while filming. I hope these stars know that revealing their struggles with scripts/producers/cultural inaccuracies on set is such a helpful and honorable thing to do. It's clear that these actors are knowledgeable and each have their own impressive paths - I am rooting for you each all the way.
@@frasixx7480 I think the actors have spoken about it being hard to get accurate portrayals, which is why they made this comment. Also, just because they have a white person as their picture doesn’t mean they’re white? They could be, obviously, but such a weird thing to base it on.
@@frasixx7480 What the hell? Where did you get that they are trying to tell you what to do? Also, by that logic, we must ONLY listen to Kanye West and Candace Owens on issues affecting the black community since they’re black right? This commenter literally was just talking about how the actors have talked about how it was hard for them to have accurate representation, and you went on the attack out of nowhere. Did they say anything about the jokes? The characters? Even the audience??? I mean did you EVEN READ THE COMMENT? 🙄
It makes me sad that these actors who help sexualize kids and get paid millions for it struggled to fake a accent. So sad the worlds smallest violin is playing rn because of how sad it is.
As a kid who grew up eating trash food in the 90s/early 2000's, I can say with confidence that canned ravioilis are in fact good when cold. Maybe even better than when warmed up.
My coworker told me he used to sneak a can into his room at night and eat them in secret and when he was done to hide the evidence he just flung the empty cans under the bed 😂
Just learned that the April 13, 2021 episode will be the last! I must live in a cave, not to have known sooner. Heart broken. Will Jung and Appa grow closer? Will Umma's MS go into remission? Netflix needs to buy the rights and resolve all of this in a sixth season. What a heartwarming show that ended far too soon. Simply charming....and there are not many shows like this any more. It will be missed. Thanks for 5 years of joy.
I really loved this show and Paul and Jean anchored the show so amazingly well (not to sell any of the cast short, of course). It's a damn shame that it ended, but I can understand Ins Choi wanting to move on because it had dominated so much of his life. I'm more surprised/disappointed/upset that another Asian showrunner couldn't be found to keep it going. So many more stories could be told about "us" that we won't find anywhere else. But despite what this collection shows, I think Appa's best moments are when Paul really put on his acting chops; nothing made me hurt more than seeing him cry and be vulnerable when he is otherwise so proud and stubborn. Those turns in the show were the real reason I kept coming back and I wish there as more of it to explore.
The reason why Koreans call their moms umma and dad appa is because that’s how we approach our parents when we are kids. When asking something from your mom, you first go “umm ma, can I go to my friend’s house this weekend?” With dad, you can’t be reluctant with the approach, you have to earn his permission. So you do something to make him proud and say “ah, pa, guess what I got an A on my science project, can I go to my friends during the weekend?”
some people say that kim's convenience is a disrespectful portrayal of the korean diaspora and our lived experiences, but i find it very enjoyable and relatable. it's tame enough to appeal to the white suburban masses, yet it still manages to evoke the same feeling in me as the smell inside the korean markets near my home. it's familiar and charming even if not all koreans find it accurate. it's just good television imo
I think their perception of it being disrespectful is colored by the fact that the cast had to constantly fight the producers because what the producers had in mind was truly disrespectful. For example, they wanted to have an episode in which Umma gets in trouble for wearing flesh colored yoga pants, and just can't figure out why people feel uncomfortable. The cast got them to scrape the idea but this just gives you an idea of what sort of things didn't make it into the show
Yeah, Mr Kim didn't mean any harm, he just said the sign didn't look that great. He never said because your gay your sign is bad. I feel like some gay people are taking advantage of the system by doing that.
@@lilPopper Yeah, Mr. Kim isn't against gay people, he's against extravagant, public displays. He just thinks they're loud and showy but he's not singling out gay parades, he thinks that about anything that's loud and showy.
Such a shame. Besides Superstore and Still Open All Hours, Kim's Convenience is the only tv show I can think of that has a store as its main setting, and Superstore just got cancelled as well. You'd think that "store comedies" would be more popular, seeing as how the premise is so universal, yet so underutilized. You can feel from the last two seasons that the writers were tired of it, but that's no reason to cancel the whole thing. It wouldn't be hard to find more competent writers and just continue, seeing as how the entire main cast seems to be regretful of the decision. I just hope they uncancel it somehow.
There's a lot of reasons: The actors were paid poorly and their thoughts and input was mostly ignored, despite the fact that it's a show about Asians, starring Asians, but the writing staff was mostly white. For example, Umma's actress pointed out that it made no sense for her character to have MS, because it's extremely rare among East Asian people (less than a 1% chance). The writers brushed her off and said she "doesn't understand comedy". Then the show creators decided they wanted to move on, and they left the show. CBC decided the show wouldn't be "authentic" without them and cancelled it, even though they had an entire cast full of people with a similar cultural background and a good understanding of their characters. Simu Liu even offered to write and direct new episodes, but CBC wasn't interested. It's such a great show, it's really sad to know there were so much disrespect behind the scenes.

He’s so supportive
I love how Appa always finds a way to make a sale regardless who it is.
A true sign of an Asian

At least hes being equal about it lol. Love this character.

I finished seasons 1-4 in less than a week. I hope season 5 will be available on netflix soon. Appa's my fave
Just search for Andrew Youngs ! You'll find new episodes from season 5
You can watch them for free as they come out on CBC Gem online
@@mymicks21 its only for Canadian citizens !
Same appa for life
The show debuts on Netflix right after the season ends. Sadly, looks like the last.
I wanna hug Appa in real life so bad. He's such a teddy bear!!!!!!!
with an arm falling off and an eye missing
He reminds me of my grandpa
I want to hug Janet or Pastor Nina.
Can confirm he gives the best hugs!
He went from playing Appa to Uncle Iroh. So versatile!
And he’s only in his 50s. Umma is older by 10 yrs in real life
Yip yip
And he’s the only man keeping the new Republican together in the mandalorian.
Wait, he voiced appa?
@Rayenn_19 no this is appa. He played iroh in the Airbender live action series
Appa-Janet banter is always my fave!
“You messed up idea”
“You no”
“You what”
“You stop”
“You so if I stop”
Killed me 😂😂😂
Used to watch this with my children. Pretty entertaining❤
Thank God I found this show!!!! Desperately trying not to binge it and stretch it out. Canada knows comedy.
Hell yea Kim's, Tpb, and letterkenny.. Canada definitely knows comedy!
Same here, just finished s1, in love w it and don’t want it to end
I unfortunately am binging it even thought there’s only five seasons
@@rustyshackleford5516 I love Letterkenny!
@@rustyshackleford5516 And Corner Gas!
I love the chemistry between Paul and Andrea!
Can't wait for him as Iroh. Perfect casting!
Okay, see you!
that is perfect casting!
@@CrownWho Right??
There’s so many funny Appa moments. Also another fave is when he tries to remember the gym password lol

Agreed.
Appa is friggin hilarious I started watching this show very recently and I like the episode when he ate the expired can of Ravioli.
I love Appa's logic on things 😍😍😍
He really made a good impersonation of a native Korean person that speaks English with a Korean accent. So similar to Mr Miyagi in Karate Kid
Mr. Miyagi was Japanese.
@@elbruces yes I recall - he reminded me of Mr Miyagi
@@lakt2136
Japan is not Korea, all I'm saying.
@@elbruces agreed. always remember (5:28): 1910, JAPAN ATTACK KOREA 🤣🤣
He made it so realistic
he's the best character on any tv show ever made ever
finished the whole 4 seasons in 3 days!!! SOOOO GOOOOODDDD!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh man I’m gonna miss this show.
I loovee this series! So good and genuine. Git me crying several time. So sad that it got cancelled :((((
I have been studying english with Kim'convinience and as you know
I learned Appa and Uma's English and only Skiny asians can be gay

He is the chosen one ......
Appa is also an X-Wing pilot who shot down Mando lol
I'M SO EXCITED!!! PAUL is gonna be UNCLE IROH in the Netflix live adaptation of AVATAR THE LAST AIR BENDER!!!!!!
Appa seems like he will be the prefect live action Iroh
He got cast as uncle iroh. Perfect choice!

so wholesomeee!!!
Completed all season 2rd time, please make more seasons!!
That first scene annoyed me so much. That Black guy was so frickin out of line😂.
To be honest I thought the same thing too. In my opinion, Mr. Kim didn't like the design of the sign.
