American Born Chinese is now streaming on Disney+, and season 1 skillfully takes audiences through young Jin's (Ben Wang) hero journey while also introducing them to iconic figures from Chinese mythology. Jin's cautious way of life is thrown into chaos when he meets transfer student Wei-Chen (Jimmy Liu), whose overconfidence stems from his heritage as the son of the Monkey King. The latter, believing that Jin holds the key to saving Heaven, drags his friend into a world of powerful gods and destined missions — but all Jin wants is to ask out new girl Amelia (Sydney Taylor).
