Narrative Synopsis

The father, who insists on receiving formal New Year's bows in hanbok even in the U.S., is clearly unimpressed by his Korean American son-in-law, whose Korean is shaky at best. The mother, though proud of the son-in-law, is not so fond of her own son’s Mexican American girlfriend. Their two children, on the other hand, are more comfortable speaking English than Korean and prefer hot dogs over traditional Korean holiday food.
