Julie Tieu sparkles in this debut romantic comedy, which is charmingly reminiscent of the TV show Kimโs Convenience and Frankly in Love by David Yoon, about a young woman who feels caught in the life her parents have made for her until she falls in love and finds a way out of the donut trap.
Jasmine Tran has landed herself behind barsโmaple bars that is. With no boyfriend or job prospects, Jasmine returns home to work at her parentsโ donut shop. Jasmine quickly loses herself in a cyclical routine of donuts, Netflix, and sleep. She wants to break free from her daily grind, but when a hike in rent threatens the survival of their shop, her parents rely on her more than ever.
Help comes in the form of an old college crush, Alex Lai. Not only is he successful and easy on the eyes, to her parentsโ delight, heโs also Chinese. Heโs everything she should wish for, until a disastrous dinner reveals Alex isnโt as perfect as she thinks. Worse, he doesnโt think sheโs perfect either.
With both sets of parents against their relationship, a family legacy about to shut down, and the reappearance of an old high school flame, Jasmine must scheme to find a solution that satisfies her familyโs expectations and can get her out of the donut trap once and for all.
