Netflix’s topical series ‘Kim’s Convenience’, which opened yesterday (19th), will be held at the Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville until February 19th. This play is self-planned by Aurora Theatre, which recently has renovated.

It is played in English and has Korean subtitles.

In an interview with Global Nrews Today on the 20th, a board director Natalie Cho, who is the first Korean boardmember of Aurora Theater, said, “This play is a must-see play that conveys the tears and laughter of immigrants.”

Ms. Cho introduced, “Every scene, including the main character Kim and the stories and conflicts of Asian immigrants, is a dominoes of being moved” and said, “Through this play, it will be a great help to understand different cultures.”

The plot is like this.
The protagonist, a Korean immigrant, planned a better life and legacy in Toronto. When he eceives an unexpected offer for a shop in an up-and-coming neighborhood, he has to make a difficult decision: take his money and give it to the developers who closed the church his wife loves, or convince his daughter to follow in his footsteps.

In this process, the main character Kim calmly tells the stories of her family and neighbors through the process of finding a moment-to-moment solution in a series of conflicts experiencing the demands of customers and strong-willed families.

Actors from various cultures, such as Korean, Chinines, Japanese, Lantinos, and American, the father’s heart, the decision of an immigrant woman as a wife and mother, and the daughter’s growth process, which conflicts with her father but eventually understands the whole family The in-depth lines and mature acting skills of the actors vividly capture the things that immigrant Korean families experience at least once, just like the story of our own family.
