Barry producer Jason Kim is teaming with Girls and High Maintenance vet Greta Lee on creating the dark comedy revolving around Koreatown -- described as “L.A.’s most eccentric zip code" -- and the kingpin family at the center of it. Lee is also set to star as Yumi, a "self-proclaimed Brentwood Barbie" and daughter of the Kang family, who reconnects with her “embarrassing” Korean roots to become a powerful Korean-American woman. Lee is a veteran of Girls, Inside Amy Schumer and Wayward Pines, as well as High Maintenance. Kim, who also worked on Girls as executive story editor, also wrote KPOP: The Musical.
