Doctor turned actor/comedian Ken Jeong (Community, The Hangover), plays Dr. Ken, a brilliant physician with no bedside manner. He is always trying to be a good doctor, as well as a good husband and dad to his two kids. However, these good intentions have a way of driving everyone crazy at both work and at home. Luckily, his therapist wife Allison is just the right partner to keep things sane.
Ken Jeong returns for a second season as the titular character in "Dr. Ken" and continues to be the hilarious general practitioner we all know and love. He has a smart and beautiful wife, two decent kids and a loyal but sometimes irritating support staff in a job where he gets to help people on a daily basis, all the while using his unique sense of humor to get him through the day.
Complications arise when Ken's wife, Allison (Suzy Nakamura), takes an open psychotherapist position at the HMO he works for, Welltopia. Now, Ken must modify his regular behavior (i.e., his "spot-on" impressions of her), and wrestle with the various issues of working with a spouse. Allison, of course, will end up doing most of the wrestling, having to deal with Ken's ego, childish antics, and constant references to his "tight five at the Laugh Factory." As their marriage is tested in new ways, they'll try to get through it as professionally as they can - well, Allison will. Ken's idea of professional is doing it "with lab coats on" in a supply closet.
The rest of the HMO gang is affected by Allison's presence at Welltopia, now that the bullpen's previous dynamic and "flow" has been interrupted. The brusque and quick-witted receptionist, Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin), and Ken's adoring registered nurse, Clark (Jonathan Slavin), love having new insight into Ken's personal life. Ken's boss, Pat (Dave Foley), is gleeful about having someone else at the job to knock Ken down a peg.
In addition to office changes, the HMO gang experiences changes in their personal lives. Pat will struggle with his romantic life, having to finally end his on-again, off-again relationship with Damona after she meets a new love interest. Clark's relationship with his boyfriend, Connor, gets more serious, leading to a possible holiday-time engagement.
At home, Ken keeps trying to be the best father he can be. He'll help his daughter, Molly (Krista Marie-Yu), now a high school senior, through the college application process. She trades some of her past, superficial hobbies for a more serious goal: getting into her dream school, Stanford. Dave (Albert Tsai), Ken's endearing and oddball son, will also be dealing with big life changes, as he starts at a new school for junior high. He'll try to re-invent himself (possibly getting rid of his fedora for good) and even meet his first girlfriend.
Ken and Allison have a full plate: a socially-awkward son starting at a new school, a college-bound daughter with only one year left at home, and the difficulties that come with working together at the HMO. And just when Ken feels they've found a healthy balance, his gruff Korean father, D.K. (Dana Lee), will announce he's moving into the Park home. One would think an educated medical professional would find a way to handle it all in a mature and logical way -- but hey, that's not our Dr. Ken!
