Park Yu-mi: Absolutely! The family, led by kim Ye-won from Korea and Daniel Maxim from France, represents a engaging fusion of cultures. They’ve settled in a third country—Canada—and their daily lives reflect a lovely mix of traditions. For example, they’re growing perilla leaves, a vegetable unfamiliar to many Canadians, which shows how they’re bringing a piece of Korean culture to their garden in Montreal.

park yu-mi: Their experience highlights the adaptability of families in new environments.Although perilla leaves are not commonly grown in Canada, the family’s determination to cultivate them shows the importance of maintaining cultural roots while embracing local customs. The use of advanced gardening tools, as Daniel enthusiastically showcases, is another interesting aspect that symbolizes how technology can aid in blending traditions.

Park Yu-mi: Kim and Daniel’s relationship began in unexpected circumstances—schoolmates in a language class both trying to assimilate into a new culture. their differing backgrounds created both challenges and charm in their interactions.
