The drama series tells the story of The Kims, a Korean- Canadian family, running a convenience store in downtown Toronto. Mr and Mrs Kim (‘Appa’ and ‘Umma’) immigrated to Toronto in the 80s to set up shop near Regent Park and had two kids, Jung and Janet who are now young adults. However, when Jung was 16, he and Appa had a major falling out involving a physical fight, stolen money and Jung leaving home. Father and son have been estranged since. The world of ‘Kim’s Convenience’ is real, colourful and urban - a diverse landscape of people and places and at the heart is the Kim family and their store. While the family continues to work and live, finding humour in the everyday tasks of running the store, they long for the day when the rift between Appa and Jung is mended and the family is whole once again. In this episode Mr Kim offers a gay discount at the store, while Mrs Kim tries to find Janet a cool, Christian, Korean boyfriend.
