The thrilling family saga, enriched with a dark sense of humor, commences when an enigmatic assassin targets the leader of a formidable Taiwanese triad. Charles “Chairleg” Sun (Justin Chien), the eldest son and renowned killer, rushes to the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles to shield his mother, Eileen Sun (Yeoh), and his unsuspecting younger brother, Bruce (Sam Song Li) — who has been kept oblivious to the family’s reality until now. As rival factions in Taipei vie for supremacy, Charles, Bruce, and Mama Sun must reconcile and mend the rifts caused by their separation. Together, they grapple with the profound meanings of brotherhood and family, striving to comprehend these notions before their numerous adversaries succeed in eliminating them.
Kevin Tancharoen, overseeing the direction of five of the eight episodes in the series, emphasized that The Brothers Sun’s success hinged on the dynamics within the Sun family. According to Tancharoen, the narrative underscores that everyone, irrespective of their background, grapples with familial insecurities. He added, “Regardless of who you are, having a family, even a somewhat dysfunctional one, can evoke feelings of vulnerability. However, amid these intense experiences, a profound and unbreakable love often emerges.”
