“Oldboy” filmmaker Park Chan-wook’s newest TV series, “The Sympathizer,” immerses viewers in the final days of the Vietnam War through the eyes of an unexpected player.
Based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s novel, the new drama series centers on the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the war and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles, where he learns that his spying days aren’t over.
Hoa Xuande stars as the spy at the center of the A-24-produced show alongside recent Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr., who plays multiple roles, including the spy’s handler.
