The Brothers Sun S1E6 Country Boy (Recap)

In episode 6 of The Brothers Sun, Mama Sun sends her sons into hiding after Bruce memorizes the identities of all the triad members. The brothers find refuge in a wealthy actor’s house, which is also used as a hideout by June, who recently killed Tony Tang. Meanwhile, Mama Sun travels to Shanghai to uncover who is leading the Boxer’s crew and the reason they require the list.

Mama Sun also pays a visit to her mother, who has never approved of her marriage with Big Sun. Mama Sun is also met with the tragic news that her sister has passed away. In this episode, we learn about Charles’ past and how he got the nickname Chairleg Sun. Back in the day, a gunman attacked his family in a restaurant, aiming to murder his father.

Charles fought back, using a chair leg to take down the gunman, earning him his notorious moniker. Charles receives a text on his phone informing him about TK’s location, who is being held hostage by the Koreans. Charles leaves to save TK and advises Bruce not to leave the Mansion under any circumstances. However, Bruce pays no heed to his advice and leaves with Grace.

The series reveals one of the biggest twists here: Grace is part of the Boxers crew and has been pretending to be Bruce’s friend to get close to her family. Grace insists that she isn’t lying and her feelings for Bruce are genuine. She also reveals her grand plan, which involves cutting the heads of the Triad leaders so that the organization will collapse.

Grace sees his crew as a sort of humanitarian gang that’s going against the triad to protect the innocents. Grace promises to spare Mama Sun and Charles if Bruce gives her the names, and out of love for his family, Bruce agrees. Charles attempts to bridge the gap between himself and Alexis, but the latter shrugs him off. This rejection makes his blood boil, and he pours all his anger on the Koreans.
