Pqp... Um atorzão desses

That’s awful! So sorry to hear, I hope john Cho gets well soon. BUT netflix wouldn’t it be faster to recast the role? May I suggest TheLewisTan he already has a martial arts background so he wouldn’t need training time AND he’s already under 1 Netflix contract for Wu Assassins

It's a sign, I wish they had casted someone else, not too late.

Get better John. Take all the time you need.

Shit. I hope he's ok

Crap on a stick. Now I'm going to have to wait until 2021 to see if Netflix screwed up Cowboy Bebop. Why didn't they cast a young actor or someone who was skilled in martial arts?-_-
