Despite being an American tv drama, most cast are from Canada. One of them is the first actual Vietnamese refugee in Toronto and the famous host from Paris by Night is playing her deceased mother in the drama.
Exactly. Actress Kieu Chinh is the very first Vietnamese refugee in Toronto!
Hoa Xuande is full Viet he just plays a half guy
You're probably right, but Xuande as a Vietnamese name ... dunno ... Never saw that before. Ever.
@@choongtahis actual name is Hoa Xuan Nguyen
@@cocotra123 Maybe so, and also maybe there's an explanation for that rather odd Xuande.
As an Asian guy who trained for five years to earn my black belt. I kinda expect tough guys on screen to be more than simply some actor with a tattoo and gun. Learn combat skills. Btw, the new Karate Kid movie stars an Asian teen(with black belt) alongside Jackie Chan and Daniel-san.
It's one of the best series not just vietnamese!!!
Asians in general are underrated. Trying my best to grind and represent Asians in basketball content
I saw the first episode and I thought it was good. IMO all children of Vietnamese immigrants are told stories of the war. Me being my parent's first child born in America I was told these stories too, but it was hard to connect or really imagine it. The show gave me a visualization of what people went through that I didn't have. I mean the whole escape scene, that's scary stuff. Some of the characters bring creditability to show, the wife of the general is the daughter of the prime minster at the time of the fall. It was pretty eye opening. I hope you guys watch it and come back and share what you think.
2:42 it’s like infernal affairs. You couldn’t really tell which side Andrew Lau’s character was really at… he was just trying to survive by any means.
Much more complex than Andrew Lau's character who wants to pay back his mob leader. It's purely gratitude and materialistic. If he senses he can move up in police force he will while character of sympathizer is twisted between ideals he believes and the reality of society he lives everyday after he moved to US.
My only complaint about this show is the main character played by Hoa Xuande doesn't look anything like half Viet-half French. He looks more like mixed with Cho Lon's Chinese. I know quite a number of Vietnamese mixed with French (usually their granddad/ great granddad) and there's no way a hapa would look like this.
Other than that, it's a great show. Especially the scenes of Saigon pre-75, it looks so real and so close to what Saigon used to look like!
Hoa Xuande killed it as the Vietnamese guy in Ronnie Chieng's International Student 😂😂
Dude, Park Chan Wook is one of the greatest directors ever. You viets are lucky you got a Korean guy directing it
The Koreans were the most brutal during the war, I'm sure there's still resentment in the Viet community against them.
@@trollking99 war? Which one, vietnam has been raped and pillaged by so many countries and you’re wrong China was the most brutal and massacred and slaughtered so many viets and yet viets want to be East Asian so badly that they forget about that part when they say they’re East Asian when they are clearly not
Yeah as a korean i'm really ashamed about how their government aligned with the usa
Not only Did the usa genocide the korean people, They forced the weak poor koreans to fight in vietnam.
Plenty of Asian leads in Pachinko. Ken Leung was lead in Industry. 3 Body Problem.
Some representation is better than none.
I look forward to it.
Amazing show
1:37 - seven seas? 😂
You have to understand that when Hollywood made the book into an HBO series, the actual story from the novel is water down and everything is exaggerated for creative effects.
Great show as a viet i absolutely love it
It's about time that we get hard-boiled tv-series and movies from somebody else than Pentagon Sponsored stuff.
4:46 I get that we all have competing priorities, but I think the opportunities for strong Asian male characters are so few, that not supporting this *has* set us back. Even if you are optimistic that the candle will eventually burn to that point, it is burning way too slow.
Don’t forget. Pachinko. Industry. 3 Body Problem.
Banana fever 😆😄😂
I saw both seasons of quantum leap and it was a good middle of the road show. Nothing ground breaking and the writing could have been better and less trope heavy. The main character being a korean immigrant is brought up a few times from him having regrets about his relationship with his mother who died when he was very young to a storyline where he and magic (his boss in the show who's black) travel to LA during the rodney king riots and how it wrecked relations between the Korean and black communities. Him marrying a white woman and being in an interracial relationship is discussed in the show a little better than some network shows. There was a nonbinary msin character who was the tech genius in the group, they played dream in the sandman series, this character helped the show explore transgebder and queer issues but really only got 2 episodes to directly address these issues, thry still got some key development in the story though. There's another asian character in the show that was a criminal but because of her boss got a secind chance and became the head security officer for the whole project. There were sone good stories in the show exploring different parts of history but overall it was a pretty mid tier show.
I never watched the reboot but from your description I'm glad I didn't, seems too woke,
Woke garbage
If it doesn't star a "Kevin Nguen" type character it's not legit.
😂
Hello @@fungbros, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s name is pronounced Vee-et Tahn N’win!
Robert Downey Jr is in it?
Yes he in it.
Make some video about Indonesia
No one knows about Indonesia and that it's even in Asia. Most people just know it's a Muslim country.
Viet Thanh Nguyen’s name is pronounced Vee-et Tahn N’win!
😮
@@Jidion56 , what?
So Vietnam is pronounced Vee-et Nam?
@@trollking99 , yes, it is.
@johntheyoutubesuperfan3187 Nice try, but who would care that much ?
over 10 states with 911 outages.
The subtitles were annoying. I saw the first episode and that was a wrap for me.
I SAW YOUR MOM!!! :)
It was made by the master Park Chan Wook and written by the Vietnamese novelist. That is why it is uncomparable with any other Hollywood factory bullsht.
❤
I'm old enough to remember when Viet Thanh Nguyen said that Communism is worse than American and British imperialism so I already know this is gonna be some bulljive😂
It is though. People who have lived through Communism know this, I'm guessing you haven't.
@@trollking99 Which people? Mainly the bourgeoisie would hold that opinion.😂
@@djsapien3448 People that escaped Communism. I've known Viets, Poles, Czechs, Cubans, Chinese, and more that have the same opinion. From the sounds of it you have never lived in a totalitarian Communist country, so it's easy for you to dismiss. You'd hold a different opinion if you had. I once lived under a right wing dictatorship, and the loss of freedoms are the same on both ends. I used to be left leaning when I was young, then I woke up.
@@trollking99 Yeah and it was mostly the bourgeoisie who "escaped" Communism. Most Russians, and people former Soviet republics and Eastern Europe now wish they could return to Communism.😂
@@djsapien3448 Like I said, you have never lived under Communism so you have a privileged opinion living comfortably and freely in the West. Those handful of people that wish to return to Communism were already poor under Communism. It's a fallacy that poverty doesn't exist in Communist countries.
Just about almost every American made show starring Asian Americans ends up getting canceled after a few season.
Hollywood stuff is now average at best. The kDrama stuff is now the greatest. Hopefully, this is the kDrama stuff with Viets.
K dramas are terrible
@SylvesrerSam you work in Hollywood? What Hollywood does best are CGI stuff with destruction and gun and superhero violence.
@@SylvesrerSam you work in Hollywood or something?
His an yt incel who sister loves kpop and kdramas@anthonyhoang5902
@@anthonyhoang5902it’s melodramatic and yes it’s bad but the kind of bad that’s a guilty pleasure. Also the sympathizer is a satire, not a melodrama lol so no it’s not a soap opera.
Park Chan-Wook is one of my favorite filmmakers, so I'm looking forward to watching this show. But as far as supporting Asian male shows or movies, as long as the content is good, I'll support it. But to just say that you have to support this show or that movie because the star is Asian, is non sense to me. There are tons of crappy shows and movies that I don't watch even though the main cast are Asians. I support contents that's entertaining to me wether the show or movie contains Asians or not.
Totally agree. This viewpoint of supporting stuff just because it's Asian comes from people that don't actually live in Asia.
It’s not authentic until there’s some awkwardly shoehorned white guy in the story lmaoooo
Asian boys can’t carry on their own 😂
If Asian guys could carry on their own they wouldn’t have to 😂
I'm pretty sure having white people on this show (whether French, American, British, or Australian) is historically accurate during that time period.
60 percent of the worlds populace is Asian, but majority dont speak English, so I'm not sure how well it will really do
it needed to be in vietnamese to be authentic. it just wouldnt make sense for them to be in vietnam but the whole country speak english. well theres subtitles, and maybe somewhere it time it might get dubbed. there's plenty of international firms and shows (kdramas etc ) that do well.
@@rosetran1082 i guarantee this will not get played in Vietnam. I live in Vietnam and know that even Barbie got censored. So this movie playing an ideology/identity uncertain person will never get played here (in vietnamese or english)
The show has a available English audio dub.
Hollywood is going down in quality
I'm Vietnamese and I can't watch 20minute of the episode. The lines and script sounds like straight from google translate, very unnatural and annoying
fake story😂
Why do these guys have to act like clowns?
I thought Shogun was/is the greatest Vietnamese series ever
Something greater coming out.
Shogun not Japanese?
@@blue-phoenix115Yes Shogun is still Japanese
Ho Chi Minh is a hero
I have been pretty confused about whether this is good representation for Asian men. It seems like it supports the belief that all Asian men are communist spies.
