Anyone here watch it? Apart from the Korean guy playing a Chinese guy, I do find it quite entertaining and lighthearted - especially because I can relate to it. My fiancé's remark was it's like an Asian modern family.

Seen a few clips from the show on my Facebook feed. The show looks good, but never had the chance to properly check it out

Sounds politically incorrect.

Yh, I've watched it.

 

[BandSixFix]

It's a really great show - and yeah you're right, its basically an asian modern family

 

[seremify007]

It's not bad. I only got into the show when I was watching it on Singapore Airlines the other day. That and Mr Robot.

Its just cringeworthy. The jokes are predictable and their asian accent sounds like a native english speaker trying to put on an asian accent.

There are a few cringe moments ... not sure why but my fiancé finds the two younger brothers cute/adorable but I don't. :S

haha, its weird how my white m8 hate it but my azn m8 loves it. But personally I think its a good show to watch when you are bored and what a laugh and it also shows the 90's culture such as music and clothing, however there are jokes which are being taken too far.

Is this chinese or what?

I think so but some say they are Taiwanese...

 

[seremify007]

The family is meant to be Taiwanese but for all intents and purposes, I think the "Asian parents" or "Tiger Mom" applies universally across the various Chinese-ethnicity stereotypes (eg my Malaysian-Chinese parents).

It's quite stereotypical and it is interesting! Similar to the Family Law.

Yeah. I can relate to it. I do have similar sort of parents.

 

[si2136]

I find the mothers voice annoying, but of course it's an act.

I presume so but she does it quite consistently I wonder if she sounds like that normally!
