Four years ago, Jenny Yang reached a plateau in her career. She’d achieved many of her goals — she was a successful stand-up comedian, she’d launched her own comedy festival focused on platforming Asian American talent, she’d worked as a staff writer on Busy Tonight — so she sat down to chart something new. Yang decided that what she really wanted to do was become an action comedy star. She trained for a half-marathon and took up kickboxing training. But then a casting director for a new Netflix show about a Taiwanese crime family was scouring the internet during a late-in-the-game search and came across one of her viral stand-up videos. “All they told me was that it was a gang drama and I wouldn’t have to do any accents,” Yang says. “And then they gave me the role and were like, ‘By the way, you will be...

Bǎohù jiārén. Protect the family.
Not only is that the title of the Season 1 finale of The Brothers Sun, but it’s also the mantra of Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk’s action-drama series. And after spending 15 years torn apart by patriarch Big Sun (Johnny Kou), who only wanted to protect his crime family, “Mama” Eileen (Michelle Yeoh), Charles (Justin Chien), and Bruce Sun (Sam Song Li) have had enough.
In Episode 8, they decide to finally step out of Big Sun’s shadow to redefine what family means. For once in their lives, they choose their own path — to each other. “This is a fractured family story about picking each other back up and bringing love back together into the family,” executive producer and director Kevin Tancharoen told Netflix.

What would you do if you discovered that your once-ordinary life was built on the foundation of one of Taiwan’s largest (and successful) organized crime families? Netflix’s crime comedy The Brothers Sun runs the gamut and the streets of the San Gabriel Valley for answers. Co-created by Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk, the eight-episode series follows the Sun family matriarch, Eileen Sun (Michelle Yeoh), who, after falling in love with a “country boy,” became second in command to one of the most lucrative and dangerous gangster businesses in Taiwan. Because of the potential threats on her family, she decides to spare her youngest son, Bruce (Sam Song Li), from the violent family business and moves with him to Los Angeles while leaving her older son, Charles (Justin Chien), back in Taiwan with his father (Johnny Kou) who turned him into a cutthroat assassin.
