      Jung's criminal record is often brought up as an obstacle in his professional life, however, because Jung committed his crimes as a teenager, the Canadian Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) would have kept his criminal involvement confidential. His criminal record would have been sealed and/or destroyed when he turned 18.

    A wholesome version of The Simpsons
    I was highly impressed by by Kim's Convenience. Characters both main and supporting are all very strong and well written -- meaning all of them can definitely hold their own story lines in episodes. I absolutely loved when the writers would have story lines which would focus on one of the main characters as well as supports (need more Mr. Kim and Kimchi adventures!).

    All in all this is one of the most wholesome shows on TV I've enjoyed in a long time; definitely fun for the whole family!
