Dr. Ken is a comedic series that follows the daily life of Dr. Ken Park (played by Ken Jeong), a physician who works at a small practice in California and balances the challenges of his professional and personal life.
Season 1 episode 2, entitled "The Seminar," revolves around the staff at Welltopia's seminar, which promises to inspire and motivate healthcare professionals to become more efficient workers. Ken is excited to attend the seminar and impress his boss, Pat (Dave Foley). However, when he finds out that he has to deliver a speech alongside the other doctors, his nerves get the best of him.
Meanwhile, Ken's wife, Allison (Suzy Nakamura), and their daughter, Molly (Krista Marie Yu), are also attending the seminar but with a different mindset. Allison is looking to bond with the other mothers, while Molly wants to ditch the seminar to attend a hip-hop dance workshop.
At the seminar, Ken and his colleagues Dr. Julie (Kate Simses) and Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin) struggle with delivering their speeches, and it's not long before Pat steps in to take over. However, Ken sees this as an opportunity to prove to Pat that he can handle more responsibility and insists on finishing his speech.
Meanwhile, Allison finds herself bonding with the other moms, but their conversations quickly turn into gossip and negativity. Molly, on the other hand, has a change of heart and decides to attend the seminar and support her dad.
As the seminar comes to a close, Ken finally delivers his speech, which receives a mixed response from the crowd. However, Pat is impressed with Ken's determination and willingness to take on more responsibilities.
Overall, "The Seminar" provides a hilarious and relatable portrayal of the challenges faced by working professionals and their families. With its witty writing and excellent performances, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the series.
