But things could've gone a very different direction had the show's creator stuck with his initial idea for one of the lead characters.
But after talking to the comedian about an unrelated subject, Lee had an a-ha moment: She was perfect for the part.“He called me the next day and was like, ‘Well, you know, I just want to tell you I have this idea that I’ve been kicking around for a while but this road rage incident based on something that happened in real life. I always pictured the person opposite of Steven a white man, but now I’m thinking that it would be a lot more interesting if it was you,” she says.
He said that having the two stars involved from the beginning as creative partners — complete with late-night text conversations spent flinging around ideas — helped them craft the perfect pitch before shopping the show around to studios. As a result, Danny’s parents moved back to Korea and he — along with younger brother Paul — were struggling to make ends meet. As the show continues, Issac takes on a bigger and bigger role in Danny’s life and he is eventually the driving force behind the show’s climax in the final two episodes.
“And so I texted Steven and Ali and asked, ‘Hey, like, do you think David would ever act?’” he says. Choe eventually submitted “the most creative self-tape I’ve ever seen in my life,” Lee says, complete with bloopers and creative editing, and the rest was history. Danny is “very intense” with his Korean family and his return to the Korean church. Amy’s character, in addition to portraying herself as a “Zen” person to sell products to mainly white audiences, marries into “a high art Japanese family, almost for optics," Lee says.published this week, Lee and Yeun revealed they'd initially bonded as friends at least partially because they'd both grown up in the Korean church.
