Ezinye iinkqubo zikamabonwakude zifika kanye xa zifuneka, kunye nokuqaliswa kwakhona kweCW ikung fu ngomnye wabo. Uchungechunge olutsha lucinga kwakhona i-70s kunye ne-90s kaDavid Carradine-obonisa umabonwakude ngendlela egcina isenzo kunye nezinto ezonwabisa kodwa libeka ibali kwi-protagonist yaseAsia. Kuluhlu olutsha olukhulu endilonwabeleyo, hayi kuphela isenzo esihle, kodwa ngendlela ebeka ngayo usapho olunothando nolushukumisayo lwaseAsia entliziyweni yebali.
Ukuthetha noonondaba ngo-Matshi, u-Olivia Liang, inkwenkwezi yomdlalo uvumile. Ndicinga ukuba ixesha lomboniso wethu alinakulinganiswa, utshilo uLiang. Kuninzi malunga nokumelwa kunye nokubandakanywa akuninzi kangangokuba thina, njengama-Asiya, kufuneka sizibone simelwe kwizikrini, kodwa kufuneka simenywe kumakhaya abantu abangasiboniyo kubomi babo bemihla ngemihla. Njengobundlobongela obuchasene ne-Asiya kunye nentiyo iyaqhubeka nokudumba eMelika, uthotho lweenkwenkwezi ngumlingisi waseAsia waseMelika kwaye ujolise kumabali aseAsia, indlela ikung fu yenza, iziva ibalulekile kwaye ibalulekile.
Kodwa ukumelwa kuyinxalenye yento eyenza uthotho lube lolungileyo-kufuneka kubekho ibali elinyanzelayo kunye nomlingisi omkhulu, kwaye ikung fu unazo zombini ngobuninzi. Kwi Ikung fu, U-Liang udlala uNicky Shen, intombi yabazali abangamaTshayina abavela eSan Francisco. Iimeko ziceba ukuze aphele ejoyina umzi woonongendi e-China iminyaka emithathu, apho aqeqeshe khona kung kungaphantsi komcebisi wakhe, uPei-Ling (Vanessa Kai).
Xa uPei-Ling ebulawa (hayi umbhuqi, njengoko kusenzeka kakhulu kwangoko kuthotho kwaye sele kuxoxwe kakhulu kwaye ikwalolu hlobo lwendawo oyibonayo ivela kwimayile enye) ngomnye ugqirha we-kung fu, uNicky ufunga ukufumana umbulali kaPei-Ling. Endleleni, ufunda ukuba umbulali uZahlin (uYvonne Chapman) wayelandela nje ngaphezulu kukaPei-Ling ngokwakhe.
Ababonisi uChristina Kim ( Blindspot ) kunye noRobert Berens ( Ngaphezulu ) yazi ukuba zonke izinto ezintle kwihlabathi aziyi kuphinda zenzeke ngaphandle kwabalinganiswa abakhulu kunye nobudlelwane, kwaye apho ndicinga ukuba olu luhlu lukhanya ngokwenene. UKim uyalwazi uluntu abhala ngalo kwaye lubonisa ngawo wonke umzuzu uNicky kunye nosapho lwakhe kwiscreen. UNicky ubuyela ekhaya eSan Francisco kwaye kufuneka ajongane nenyaniso yokuba ulunqamle usapho iminyaka emithathu, kwaye wonke umntu kufuneka asebenze ukulungisa ubudlelwane babo. Usapho lakwaShen yintliziyo yomboniso, kwaye ndithanda onke amalungu kunye nabadlali abadlalayo.
Kukho abazali bakaNicky uJin noMei-Li, abadlalwe nguTzi Ma noKheng Hua Tan, abazisa ubunzulu nothando kubalinganiswa. UJin ushushu kwaye unothando kwaye uMei-Li ngumqolo ongathandabuzekiyo wosapho. Abadlali babo ikwangabo kuphela ababebukele eyantlandlolo ikung fu kuthotho lwee-70s kwaye wathetha malunga nokuba kwakubaluleke kangakanani kubo ebutsheni babo ukubona abadlali baseAsia kwiAmerican TV, nangona umboniso wawukhokele umhlophe. Ku-Tan, eyokuqala yayiyeyona ikhethekileyo kuye kunye nosapho. Wachaza:
Ukukhumbula kwam kukuba, embindini wawo, eneneni, ndicinga ukuba imixholo yomelele kuthotho lwantlandlolo, kwaye iyaqhubeka yomelele kakhulu kwaye iyafana kuthotho lwethu lwangoku. Umxholo wonke malunga nosapho kunye nobulungisa kwezentlalo nangomntu omnye ohamba-hamba ezama ukwenza, ukulungisa izinto. Ndicinga ukuba yayingumxholo wendalo iphela, uyazi, yinto entle. Enye into endiyikhumbula rhoqo malunga neyokuqala ikung fu kukuba utata wam endimthandayo, ongasenathi, wayethanda owokuqala ikung fu kwaye ihlala indizalisa ngemvakalelo yokuzola kwaye, kwaye uyazi, imvakalelo enkulu.
Oku ikung fu yenzelwe isizukulwana esitsha. Kukwangokuma kokulungileyo nokulwela abo bangakwaziyo ukuzikhusela, kodwa endaweni yokugxila kwindoda emhlophe, kumalunga nomfazi waseAsia kunye nosapho. Olo tshintsho lubalulekile. Kunye noNicky, kwisizukulwana esincinci ngudade wabo wobuchwephesha u-Althea (Shannon Dang), umlingane ka-Althea uDennis (Tony Chung), kunye nomntakwabo-Nick-pre-med Ryan (Jon Prasida). Andifuni konakalisa nantoni na, kodwa uRyan mhlawumbi ngumlinganiswa kolu luhlu ndonwabe kakhulu kukwazi okungakumbi, hayi ngenxa yesirnake sakhe kuphela kodwa ngenxa yokuba enesicwangciso sendlela endinomdla wokuyibona ikhula ngaphezulu uthotho. Akulona ibali elilula ukuthetha kodwa ndiyamthemba uKim noBerens kunye nayo. UChung noDang nabo babalasele (kwaye bayathandeka) njengoAlthea noDennis.
Ukusuka ekhohlo: Chung, Prasida, Ma, Liang, Dang.
Kodwa kukho ubudlelwane obuntsonkothileyo apha, kubandakanya into ebonakala ngathi kukuqala konxantathu wothando phakathi kwesoka likaNicky u-Evan (uGavin Stenhouse), oligosa le-DA elincedwa nguNicky ukusombulula ukubulawa kukaPei-Ling, kunye naye uthando olutsha uHenry (Eddie Liu). U-Liu uphinde wathetha ngamava akhe kunye ikung fu I-franchise njengomntwana kwaye yayidida njani ukuba umboniso ubizwe Kung Fu: Igosa liyaqhubeka (uthotho lwamaxesha angama-90s ukuya kuthi ga ikung fu -makhwenkwe omhlophe:
Emva phaya kwiminyaka yee-90, ndandingenayo into njengomntwana ukwenza into yokuba ukukhokela kwakungekho, e-Asia, kwaye unyana wakhe wayenguCaucasian. Kwaye… kundithathe ixesha elide ukuba ndikhule kwaye ndiqole kuloo nto, uhlobo lokubuyela umva kwaye ndiqonde, linda, ayothusi loo nto, bafana? … Mama, tata, ngathi kwenzeka ntoni apha? Kwaye mna, uyazi, kwaye ngelixesha sayithatha… Ndivakalelwa kukuba oku kungqina ubukho bethu njengabantu baseMelika baseAsia apha eNtshona. Luhlobo oluthile, kulungile, uthatha into onokuyifumana kwaye ubenombulelo ukuba uyifumene. Kodwa, sidlulile. Sigqithile koko.
Singo. Eli lixesha elifanelekileyo lothotho kunye nabasasazi abaninzi baseAsia abangazange baphinde babuyele kumacandelo asecaleni okanye kwiingcinga ezizezinye. Zingaphambili kwaye ziziko njengabalinganiswa abantsonkothileyo nabanyanzelisayo. Ndonwabile kakhulu ukuba wonke umntu athandane noLiang noLiu ngokukodwa, hayi kuphela kuba ndicinga ukuba uLiu uza kuba yinto entsha yabantu abaninzi kwi-intanethi, kodwa ngenxa yokuba uHenry enomtsalane kwaye emnandi, uNicky womelele kwaye unomdla, kwaye Zombini ziyakhazimla kwimilo yokulwa.
Kwaye zininzi iindawo zokulwa, ngenxa yokuba utata kaNicky efika kwicala elingalunganga labaphuli-mthetho abanamandla kwaye uNicky kufuneka alwe nabo ukukhusela usapho. U-Liang uyamangalisa kwimiboniso yamanyathelo, ngakumbi xa ethathela ingqalelo ukuba wayengenalo uqeqesho lobugcisa bemfazwe ngaphambi kolu chungechunge (nangona wayedanisa watsho nokuba uluncedo kakhulu). U-Kai no-Liu bayoyikeka ngokunjalo, kodwa ngu-Liang ophethe umboniso ngokwenza kunye nomdlalo weqonga kwaye wenza umsebenzi omkhulu.
ikung fu Zombini ziintshukumo zomdlalo omnandi ngokwenene kunye nedrama yosapho enentliziyo eninzi malunga nohlobo losapho esingakhange silibone phantse lide kwimidlalo kamabonakude. Oku kufuneka kutshintshe, kwaye ikung fu ngumzekelo obalaseleyo wendlela eya phambili. Isamente intle kwaye iyakhazimla kwaye ibali linomdla, kwaye ndonwabile ngokwenene ukubona apho konke kuhamba khona.
ikung fu Inkulumbuso ngoLwesithathu, uEpreli 7 ngo-8: 00 ebusuku kwi-CW, ngeziqendu ezikhoyo ngosuku olulandelayo simahla kwi-CW app.
