Soon-Taik Oh in his second appearance

[kevinolzak · 8/10 · 11 August 2010]

Soon-Taik Oh, seen previously in the first season episode "Sun and Cloud Shadow," plays a different character here, Chen Yi, who, after defeating Caine in an honorable challenge was expelled from the Shaolin temple, now residing in a prison cell after confessing to the murder of a man who came between him and his fiancée, Louise Coblenz (Marianna Hill). Chen Yi is also a master craftsman, and has left his valuable collection to Louise to help her take care of her wheelchair-bound older sister Rita (Bethel Leslie). Although never close to Chen Yi back in China, Caine decides to find out the truth about what happened, beginning with a mild attempt at bank robbery to land himself at the same prison. Robert Cornthwaite appears as a frightened bank teller, Robert Middleton plays the town marshal, and James Hong (in his third of eight episodes) cameos as an elderly priest. A veteran of HAWAII 5-0, Soon-Taik Oh would return the next season in one more entry, "The Devil's Champion."

A right time appears to adjust an old mistake between Caine and Chen Yi !!!

Better as I could imagine

[lehockapetra · 10/10 · 21 February 2021]

Its shame that I can not give more stars than is available. I took a lot of knowledge from this episode and even more than from the previous ones. I could see much more spirituality this time and that's my most important focus. For example Positive and negative two opposite forces but always in perfect balance. And so on ... This serial is just piece of perfection.
