"American Born Chinese

When this first came out, and I heard (I think) that it was based on a comic book series...but didn't see there being any real hype about...I thought that maybe it hadn't done well. But, thankfully, I always go to check these things out for myself. And I was pleasantly surprised! I liked this show, and I'm sure that a bunch of you guys will too.

Let me start of by saying that you will NEED subtitles to watch this show! I actually watched it on Disney+, and it didn't have subtitles, considering the great amount of dialogue where the characters are speaking Mandarin Chinese. Why they didn't double check on that or correct it is baffling to me! BUT, when you watch with the subtitles, the rest of the story makes sense and it's really cool to get submerged into the legend and the mythology of it all. So double check for subtitles.

A teen student named Jim Wong is just trying to fit in and make it through high school, day by day, all while dealing with his arguing parents. That is until a brand new student, Wang, shows up and he's supposed to guide him around the school to help him get adjusted as well. However...his new friend is a LOT more than he appears to be, tossing Jim into a real life world of fantasy and danger where is trapped in a deadly game that he can not escape!

If you were looking for something fun to get into, with some action, some humor, and some magic...all woven in to a coming of age high school theme? This one might be for you! Enjoy! :)
