We talk to the stars of the new Netflix series about playing siblings, action scenes, and working with Michelle Yeoh.

Crime stories, action series, and comedies rarely converge satisfactorily. In recent years, Netflix has taken stock in presenting shows and films from Japan, Korea, China, and India that embrace this blend of genres and techniques. Like the recent show Obliterated, Netflix is banking on the star power of Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh and superproducer Brad Falchuk. Co-created with Byron Wu, The Brothers Sun is an international production between Taiwan and Los Angeles that brings new talent to the forefront in Sam Song Li and Justin Chien.

I got to talk to the two stars of The Brothers Sun, Justin Chien and Sam Song Li. We discussed Chien balancing his character’s love of baking and his cutthroat skills as an assassin. Sam Song Li talked about his favorite moment in making the series, and both talked about what it was like collaborating with Michelle Yeoh. We also discussed how they found chemistry in playing siblings and what comes next. Check out the full interview in the embed above. Read our review of the show HERE.
