The two seasons of the comedy about a Korean-Canadian family who runs a convenience store in Toronto strongly resembles ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat "in their broadness, unexpected poignancy, and not-always-successful efforts to maintain the tricky balance between cultural specificity and mainstream accessibility," says Inkoo Kang, who adds: "To watch Kim’s Convenience as a Korean American is to witness the immigrant culture in which I grew up strained through the cookie-cutter mold of the family sitcom genre...And yet Kim’s Convenience is undeniably a North American translation of Korean immigrant culture. Sometimes quite literally."
