What Is The Sympathizer All About?

The novel earned him a Pulitzer Prize and the series is about a South Vietnamese Army person named Captain (played by Hoa Xuande). He is from North Vietnam and circumstances force him to leave for the United States as the Vietnam war comes to an end.
In the foreign country, he lives with the refugees and continues to spy on the surroundings and inform his bosses at the Viet Cong. Park Chan-wook is the showrunner along with Don McKellar. He has also directed the episodes with Fernando Meirelles and Marc Munden.

Later, the Major is executed by the Captain with help from Bon. An interesting character named The Watchman knows the links of the Captain. Instead of spilling all the truths, he chooses death.
His storyline is explained through the motif of three eggs. As a prize for the death of Major, the captain is appointed as the official translator of a film by Niko.
