FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth

Floorplans of the store and apartment from "Kim's Convenience". A or B?

@angryappa @jeanyoon88 @andrea.bang @simuliu

NOTE: The original house doesn't have the attic area on its front where the daughter's bedroom is supposed to be. (It's a fake element that was removed from the roof after filming was finished)

The problem with this set is the location of the staircase that leads to the upper floor since, being where it is, it should be inside the store... and it's not there.

This error is aggravated at the upperf floors, as the staircase is oriented towards the central part of the house, which would make it impossible for it to lead to the front area of ​​the attic with the daughter's bedroom.

I don't understand why this kind of thing is done sometimes. The solution to having a coherent design was so simple. Anyway...

"BEHIND THE SCREENS: Illustrated Floor Plans and Scenes from the Best TV Shows of All Time" (ISBN: 179721943X) is already in bookstores.
