Humor and heart on every aisle
Mr. Kim, a first-generation Korean immigrant, dispenses fatherly wisdom, history lessons, and potato chips from behind his convenience store counter in the up-and-coming Regent Park neighborhood of Toronto. With new luxury buildings popping up around the convenience store and a Walmart preparing to move in, Mr. Kim receives an unexpected offer for his property. He now has a difficult decision to make: keep the cash or keep Kim's. But Kim's Convenience is more than just his livelihood - it is his legacy. Follow Mr. Kim as he tries desperately, and hilariously, to convince his daughter Janet, a budding photographer, to take over the store. Wholly original, hysterically funny, and deeply moving, Kim's Convenience tells the story of one Korean family struggling to face the future amidst the bitter memories of their past. But no matter what, humor and heart find their way onto every aisle in this award-winning play that is now a hit series on Netflix.
