Emily in Paris follows Emily Cooper, an American from Chicago with a Master's degree in communications, who moves to Paris for a new job opportunity. She is tasked with bringing an American point of view and social media presence to a venerable French marketing firm. Cultures clash as she adjusts to the challenges of life in Paris while juggling her career, new friendships, and active love life.
The Series not just focuses on Emily's personal life, it also takes a dig into her professional life in Paris. It also solely doesn't revolve around Emily but characters like Sylvie, Mindy, Camille and Gabriel have also got equal limelight.
The Big problem for Emily is, she doesn't speak French, so she struggles with her boss besides the cultural differences between Emily and them in business. She arrived in Paris with zero French but took classes which is not enough, even this way she manages to work full of challenges. She is at least creative and know how to manage the accounts they have.
