Dear Gossips,<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is a big day for arts and culture in Canada. Kim\u2019s Convenience<\/em>, the first Canadian television sitcom starring Asian actors, will premiere October 11 on\u00a0CBC at 9pm. The show is based on a celebrated play by Ins Choi about a Korean family and their convenience store. The parents are immigrants. Their children were born in Canada. So it\u2019s about how Mr & Mrs Kim relate to their children, a theme that\u2019s relatable to almost anyone, except more often than not \u2013 in fact, almost always \u2013 the comedies that show us what that looks like look not like the Kims at all. Jean Yoon says that<\/a>, for her, and for her co-stars, the opportunity here is to not be an accessory but to be the main event:<\/p>\n

“In my experience, we’re coming in to play roles that will further the plot, that would deliver information, that would set the hero up, but in this show we \u2014 the people of colour \u2014 get to be the heroes.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviews for Kim\u2019s Convenience<\/em> have been solid so far. In America, audiences have embraced two season of Fresh Off The Boat <\/em>(now in its third season). Hopefully we\u2019ll do the same here in Canada for Kim\u2019s Convenience<\/em> even though its debut is happening on a night when many Canadians will be focused on something else: the Blue Jays and the Orioles, wild card game, in Toronto tomorrow night. I mean, I get it. It\u2019s all one-game take all situation. So\u2026set the PVR? Set a series recording? Kim\u2019s Convenience <\/em>on Tuesdays, CBC 9pm. Click here<\/a> for more on Kim\u2019s Convenience, including how the show was developed and information about the actors. Also below, short character videos about the Kim family. The name Janet for their daughter? It\u2019s PERFECT. And the way Mrs Kim just takes over the manager\u2019s office because she\u2019s his \u201cmommy\u201d. This is totally accurate.<\/p>\n

Yours in gossip,<\/p>\n
