The Chair's Sandra Oh on taking on the serious side of comedy

From the hospital corridors of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital as Dr Cristina Yang, via some globetrotting spy games, to the English department of Pembroke University as Professor Ji-Yoon Kim. That is where you will find Sandra Oh, starring as Professor Ji-Yoon Kim in The Chair, now streaming on Netflix. 

Kim is the first woman of colour to be elected as the head of a struggling English department at the elite university. 

Over the course of the six episode series, Kim tries to juggle the challenges of her new job, parent her spunky adopted daughter Ju Ju (Everly Carganilla), while negotiating her relationship with her crush and friend, Bill Dobson (Jay Duplass).
