a resonating story for any asian-american. reminiscent of a childhood with slight disconnect between two strong generations, full of love through the form of disagreement. one of the best depictions of the asian-american mother/daughter dynamic especially due to the realness of each story. every character was extremely easy to envision and justify. gave similar feelings and reflections as "crying in h-mart".
