Season 1 of The Brothers Sun of So Good.
Pros: I like the Two brothers Charles & Bruce and how much they have been through over the course of the season. Michelle Yeoh steals every scene she’s in. This show blends genres of action, comedy & drama very well. This is well paced worth binge watching & I like how the main story is mostly focusing on the theme of family.
Cons: Most of the dialogue with the subtitles were hard to understand what they are saying and can be quite cringey and sometimes the link for the last each episodes do drag a bit.
