too bad. makes me wanna read the book now, has anyone read it?

i heard it was very "real" and he brought up tons of issues like asian domestic violence and like... what it was like to be an asian kid, like the dark side of asians perceived by progressive westerners lol.
They're nothing alike apparently. His parents hated each other, and constantly fought. He was on twitter complaining about it, but it's a fucking family sitcom, so I don't know what he expected.

Anyway I doubt there's any one way asians grew up, so it could go either way. I'm sure some people relate to the show, and some would relate to the book. To me that part is not really relevant, I just think it's pretty funny, especially the two young kids.
