Grandma (Lori Tan Chinn) is going to get her share of the spotlight on the next episode of 'Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens'. Titled 'Grandma And Chill', we are going to learn about Grandma's happening love life back in the 1960s, when she had to choose between two handsome hunks. The best part? The story will be narrated in the form of a Korean drama.

The official synopsis of the episode reads: "In the style of a traditional Korean drama, Grandma tells Nora the thrilling story of how she met her husband."

In the promo for the upcoming episode, we can see that Grandma is caught between two handsome men — Garbage Boy and Doctor Hottie. Her first love was Garbage Boy, but unfortunately, troubled times in China compelled her to leave the country for the US, where she met the dashing doctor. So who did Grandma finally choose? The next episode will tell us.



 

In the previous episode, Nora was frantically competing with her cousin Edmund for her Grandma's love and attention. Meanwhile, her father Wally (BD Wong) tried to impress his crush with an Instagram account. However, things did not work out as planned and a rather obscene photo of his got plastered all over social media, much to Nora's chagrin. 

Up until now, the first season of 'Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens' has focused on Nora's adventures, which included a trip to Atlantic City, taking up a job at a real estate agency, proving to the bank she isn't dead, helping her cousin Edmund create an innovative app and getting kicked in sensitive parts by her young cousin. The show has had high ratings from the get go and is already renewed for a second season.

'Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens' airs on Comedy Central on Wednesdays at 10.30 pm.
