Ep06 John Cho House! John Cho House! My suspicion about that woman turned out to be correct. Poor Charles, again. Sure looked like his father set up that situation in the restaurant when he was young. So many golf enthusiasts.

Ep07 Gymkhata Poor Charles. I feel so bad for him. Nice fight in the kitchen but I don't think the head of the boxers can fight. Boy, Papa Sun is a dick. This was a nice good twisty episode Great conclusion at the restaurant. Sad, that there is only one more episode left. I hope Charles perfects his Churo recipe.

The Brothers Sun, starring Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien and Sam Song Li, will not be returning for a second season on Netflix, The Hollywood Reporter learned Friday.
While the reason for the cancellation wasn’t immediately known, the news comes months after the eight-episode first season of the action-comedy-drama premiered on Jan. 4. The show was created by Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu, and also included Joon Lee, Highdee Kuan, Alice Hewkin, Jenny Yang, Rodney To and Madison Hu in the cast.
Brothers Sun followed Charles Sun (Chien), a Taipei gangster who has settled into his life as a ruthless killer, but when his father is shot by a mysterious assassin, he must move to Los Angeles to protect his mother, Eileen ‘Mama’ Sun (Yeoh), and younger brother, Bruce Sun (Li).
While it had a solid opening on Nielsen’s streaming charts, the series took a notable leap forward in its second week, growing by 38 percent compared to its debut week. It also spent five weeks in Netflix’s Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at No. 2.
In her review, TV critic Angie Han, wrote the series “serves up plenty of violent action and dramatic twists — but that, above all, aim to deliver on a good time. And although the end result feels like something less than the sum of its parts, it still yields enough fun to make Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk‘s action-comedy-drama as bingeable as a tray of freshly baked cookies.”
Falchuk also served as the show’s showrunner and executive produced alongside Wu, Mikkel Bondesen and Kevin Tancharoen.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Yeoh wrote, “Heartbroken… and finding it so hard to understand why… however, I am so very proud of My ‘Brothers Sun’ family and what we presented to the world. heads held high.”
Variety confirmed on Friday that Netflix canceled the crime family dramedy after one season. Created by Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk, “The Brothers Sun” followed Charles Sun (Justin Chien), a Taiwanese gangster who must travel to Los Angeles to protect his mother and younger brother, Bruce (Sam Song Li), after his father — the head of a Taipei triad — is shot by a mysterious assassin. Yeoh starred as matriarch Eileen “Mama” Sun in the series.
Justin Chien, who played Yeoh’s son Charles, took to social media on Saturday to show his appreciation for the fans, writing on Instagram, “Thank you for riding with us on this labor of love. It will take some time to digest this news, but I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your love and support for the show. Thank you for every post, tweet, edit, interaction, etc. It fills me with so much joy knowing that the show resonated with so many people. Your love made all of our collective work, sacrifices, and heartache, worth it.”
Chien then thanked the “Brothers Sun” team for “giving their blood, sweat, and tears to make the best show possible,” as well as several Netflix executives for “giving our story a platform and giving me the opportunity to play a dream role.”
Chien concluded his post, “Thank you all for your love. Without you, this wouldn’t mean nearly as much as it does. I gave everything I had to this show, and I can’t wait to do the same in the next project, whatever, whenever it may be — I promise I will give it my all. Love, Chairleg.”
