Is the main character consciously doing a Pat Morita impersonation ?


Just wondering, anyway...what a terrible show.

Yeah lmao. He kinda reminded me of him.

Come on, mr Kim is too funny. That stop line alone is enough for me to love him

What surprised me a little bit is the accent he has on the show is TOTALLY created by the actor to fit the stereotype of a native Korean who has not been in Canada long enough to have lost the accent.

When I saw the actor who plays Mr Kim being interviewed - there was absolutely NONE of that 'immigrant' tone to his voice or actions - which surprised me - which made me realize I was making assumptions about him.

And the same with his wife.

I kinda get a Mr. Miyagi vibe from him too. I love the show though and think he is funny as f#%k.

THE FACT THAT YOU ONLY KNOW TWO ASIAN VOICES AND YOU THINK THEY ARE THE SAME IS FUCKED....ALSO THE SHOW ROCKS.
