Ins Choi's magic grasped the heart of Canada
Meet humorous-yet-heartwarming Mr. Kim
There are only ten limited opportunities to see Kim's Convenience, which has been was wildly popular in Canada, as it goes beyond the theater stage and makes it way onto television. First-generation immigrant and convenience store owner Mr. Kim's life is portrayed humorously, yet in a way that tugs at your heartstrings. Director Oh Se Hyeok, a one of blue-chip director in Daehakno and charming actors present yet another masterpiece.
A father who supports his children but is also as stubborn as a mule, a mother who gives her everything to her kids, a daughter who wants to build her own life, and a son who has become awkward since leaving home - it is time to see the magic of Ins Choi, whose narrative unfolds in a story about the common topic of family in a completely unique way.
Synopsis
“What is my story? My story is not Kim's Convenience. My story is you.”
Korean immigrants Mr. Kim, his loyal wife, and his daughter Janet run a common convenience store in a Regent Park neighborhood. Although it has been decades since he immigrated to Canada, he is still a Korean in his heart. He is very patriarchal, a born patriot, hates Japan, and has a hard time trusting black people. One day, when he is thinking hard about his life, he is offered a generous sum of money to sell his convenience store before Walmart takes over. However, he has other ideas. As he tries to convince his daughter to take over the store, his unreliable son Jung, who has not spoken to him for a long time, comes into his mind.
