In-Depth Looks on Asian American Struggles & Identities
Coolmade20002 September 2023
This was another great episode in the series that both blew me away with the action and the representation for Asian Americans.

Though the majority of the episode is more conversation than action, as of this point, the series successfully proves that its not just kung fu fight scenes every couple of minutes but shows how people in general struggle to find their footing in places they're conformable with.

I'm so glad that the high school environment, as previously mentioned in the last episode, is not overly exaggerated and cringey.

I was very happy to explore Simon Wang's story in the workforce and watching his daily struggle to get the promtion.

And overall, I love the biggest theme of the episode. Where is your voice when you need it? How do we speak up? What do we speak up about and what can we say for those who can't speak for themselves?

I love this quote. "Why be a regular guy?"
