Sasha’s parents own a store, so they often leave her alone and Marcus’ parents invite her over for dinner, and Marcus’ Korean mother, Judy, teaches Sasha how to cook. Sasha and Marcus become close friends, but in an accident, Marcus’ mom gets killed. As Marcus is grieving, in the spur of the moment, they share an intimate act, but get into an argument and lose touch with each other. Flash forward to sixteen years later, and Sasha is engaged to Brandon Choi, a successful restaurant manager, and she is a celebrity chef in New York. However, Marcus is still living in San Francisco, and has not amounted to much. He is dating Jenny, a hipster Asian woman with dreadlocks. Sasha breaks up with Brandon after he delays their wedding multiple times, and she moves back to San Francisco to oversee the installment of her new restaurant. She encounters Marcus as he works to repair her air conditioning. They have some friction, but after a while, they become friends again. Marcus still has feelings for Sasha, but he fails to tell her. She later announces that she is dating Keanu Reeves and invites Marcus and his girlfriend on a double date. The date is very tense, and ends with Marcus and Keanu fighting, and Jenny staying at Keanu’s place.]]> 2021-04-28 06:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467729726 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467732314  Sasha and Marcus begin dating each other, and he helps her find her community again. She rediscovers memories and Marcus teaches her how to loosen up and have fun. However, Sasha needs to go back for New York. Marcus tries to convince her to stay, but she tries to get him to join her. After a while, Marcus comes to the revelation that his mother’s death has made him afraid of life, and he wants out. He moves out of his childhood home and helps his band become more successful. He regularly updates Sasha with voicemails, but never gets a reply. He keeps pursuing it, and finds out that Sasha has been supporting him secretly. In a huge bold move, Marcus goes to a red carpet event in New York and asks Sasha to take him back, and she accepts. She takes him to her restaurant where there is a whole menu themed after his mother and her recipes. ]]> 2021-04-28 06:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467732314 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467758328 As Marcus, Keanu, Sasha, and Jenny are in the odd restaurant, Marcus feels out of place eating the fancy restaurant. The unfamiliar scene of everyone enjoying these abnormal foods makes Marcus nervous and jumpy. He feels isolated, and feels the need to conform and act like he enjoys the food. He is forced to act like he enjoys the food so that he can fit in with the high life people. ]]> 2021-04-28 06:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467758328 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467840411 When Sasha returns from her successful run in New York, she encounters a messy, broken Marcus that is still living with his dad. She assumes that he is just a no good pot head. However, he is still recovering from his mom's death and Sasha breaking his heart. He has so many problems stem from issues. ]]> 2021-04-28 07:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467840411 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467933713 While Sasha was in New York, she faced a lot of prejudice. She faces prejudice as a woman in the cooking industry and as an Asian in a predominantly white industry. She feels that she is being held back.]]> 2021-04-28 07:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467933713 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467959925 When Marcus first meets Keanu Reeves, he gets the impression that Keanu is a big jerk. Marcus then uses this impression to then judge Keanu for the rest of their encounter. He used this to make a snap judgement of him, and it caused friction between the two for a while, and eventually escalated into a fistfight. ]]> 2021-04-28 07:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467959925 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467979976 In the diverse environment of San Francisco, the many cultures are evident. The movie highlights the Asian cultures in San Francisco and how they interact with each other. They can enjoy each other and be one because they share a background. ]]> 2021-04-28 07:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1467979976 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1468016081 When Marcus and Keanu fought, both of them got into trouble with Sasha. However, neither of them felt that they were responsible for the altercation. They diffused the blame to each other, and neither wanted to take blame for the situation. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1468016081 aaronle3 https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1468077274 Sasha displayed her unselfish regard for others when she supported Marcus' band from the background. She showed her full support when she bought a ton of his merchandise, with no regard for herself. She was so full of love and devotion that she anonymously helped Marcus out, and this was a huge factor in his proposal. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronle3/k89f93zcjh4hzmk0/wish/1468077274
