Forrest Wheeler, who plays Emery on the show, shared a similar sentiment. He recalled a scene in which his character, along with Evan, played by Ian Chen, and Grandma Huang, played by Lucille Soong, danced to TLC’s “Waterfalls,” adding that he didn’t “think the majority of non-Asian viewers ever thought of Asians living those cultural iconic moments or considered us as sharing in them until they watched our show.
While many cast members liked how the show proved how the Huangs were not so different from any other typical sitcom family, Ian said his favorite episode was “Ride the Tiger,” which revealed many different Chinese customs to American audiences. For some time, the show was the only mainstream program in which the cast was not only majority Asian, but there were also characters who exhibited a diversity of personalities. But Wu claims she never felt the burden of representation, describing her place in the show’s prominent position in the landscape as “a privilege and a joy.”
