My favourite scene in the latest season was definitely Diego yelling in Spanish, with Ben screaming back in Korean! 😂

[nena]

I dont know what it is but as a Mexican American, watching David proudly show off his heritage this season in the show & in interviews just makes me so happy! Hes so unapologetically Mexican which is what I strive to be. Hope to see more of him in another tua season and other future works!

David's mom is the sweetest, most warming person. She really replied "yes, you are my dear" when Justin mentioned how he already felt like part of the family.

[Skybar]

this is giving me 'bring my bf to meet the parents' vibe...so cute

[siiiiiuu]

Justin is such a charming and well-spoken dude. He’s that friend all the parents want their kids to hang around bc he’s a good influence lol

[everythingoes]

This was so cute! It'd be really cool to see if Justin could show Korean culture to David in reverse.

[cruzinthruspace]

This is what representation brings you.
Different people enjoying each other's culture.
Open up your world

[rena.m]

i love how justin is like reciting the dictionary to david’s parents complementing the food, while david is shoving his face in the background

[ndo]

"I lost my name. Now I'm the Dad of David Castenada" lmao😂😂

[zahra]

David's parents are so cute, they are just admiring their conversations while making awesome food!🥺😭

[pawshands]

This show is such a relief. The cast is phenomenal and seeing the actors in a relaxed setting is awesome.

[iyacromes]

“...Legal age of drinking of course” The way he looked at the camera at 8:22 lol

[vsaturated]

Idk why but being Mexican and seeing one of our own being so successful and being able to show off our culture to the masses makes me so happy :, )

[Vaneet]

This video is so wholesome, from the way that David’s parents speak so highly of him, to the way that Justin is so charismatic and friendly towards them and the way that David is so proud of his heritage. It’s so amazing to see things from a different perspective.

[floresherreraestefania]

David has always shown pride towards his country Mexico and always makes it known that he is Mexican and that is something that we fans like, we like him to notice it and that his friends like the cast of the umbrella academy like it and know more about this beautiful country 🥰

[mxdnokd]

The mom could easily have her own show. She’s adorable

[filipecarvalho]

David and Justin are incredibly so down to earth. It's heartwarming.

[pamm]

Asian and Hispanic cultures are very similar. I'm Asian and my husband is Spanish/Mexican and we have never had any culture clash. Everything that we value is the same and the way we work together is so natural.

[fernandafuentes]

your best friend and parents coming together to roast you is a universal experience

[markantonygreat]

The way Justin remembers so many facts from previous conversations with David.
