1. [+1,455, -222] Why produce American movies ever cast weird looking actors to play woman mortal Asian roles?
2. [+689, -17] So the lead's non fifty-fifty Korean. I idea she was Chinese at showtime but I estimate she's Vietnamese.
3. [+469, -15] I've noticed that none of the western media that features Korean kids don't convey Korean facial features at all. I intend this film could've done ameliorate amongst a to a greater extent than accurate portrayal. It's similar a Korean drama maxim it's going to characteristic a white American household unit of measurement thence y'all aspect someone blonde haired together with bluish eyed but the actors are Turkish or Arab.
4. [+296, -5] Anyone tin sack tell past times looking at Lara Jean that she's non Korean. Asians tin sack tell these things. She looks to a greater extent than Vietnamese or Thai. Her confront is thence round.
5. [+90, -0] There must locomote an abundance of Korean American actors, I don't know why they chose a Vietnamese American 1 for a Korean role. There's a departure inwards feel.
6. [+34, -2] Yeah, the Pb actress isn't fifty-fifty Korean. She's South East Asian.
7. [+36, -10] I don't know why they couldn't alternative a to a greater extent than elegant looking actress they cast some chubby ajumma instead ㅜㅜ
8. [+16, -1] I knew in that place was something off nearly the movie... there's a clear departure inwards facial features betwixt Korean together with Vietnamese features. Why couldn't they convey used a Korean American purpose musician to play a Korean role? Or produce all Asians aspect the same to foreigners anyway?
9. [+14, -0] They telephone phone the grapheme Korean but she doesn't aspect Korean at all, specially since they cast a South East Asian purpose musician for the purpose ㅋㅋㅋ is this a joke? I'm non putting downwards South East Asians, I'm merely talking nearly the departure inwards facial features betwixt the ii ethnicities. Ask whatever Korean on the street if they've ever seen a Korean who looks similar her... but I estimate foreigners intend all Asians aspect the same anyway.
10. [+12, -0] Foreigners intend all Asians aspect the same. I could tell correct off the bat that she wasn't Korean. She looks former for her historic menstruation too. I wishing they would've merely cast a teen or early on twenties Korean American actress.
11. [+11, -0] She merely does non aspect Korean
12. [+12, -3] Just so.. ugly... I larn that looks aren't the most of import but I'm the 1 all the same paying to sentinel it...
13. [+10, -1] Americans intend Asians convey nighttime skin, slanted eyes, tacky fashion, nighttime lips... They ever utilization actresses who check these features. I don't larn it, together with I don't relate to it at all either. I actually intend that's how Americans thought Asians.
14. [+6, -2] I don't larn all this rage over a Vietnamese American playing a Korean role. There convey been tons of instances where a Korean American purpose musician has played other ethnicities. Just aspect at 'Fast & Furious' or 'Heroes', in that place are Korean actors playing Japanese roles, together with no 1 cares. I'm sensing a lot of racist undertones inwards these comments similar "how dare a South East Asian play the purpose of an East Asian?" And to those maxim faces similar Lara Jean don't be inwards Korea? No, in that place are fifty-fifty uglier faces. You intend all Vietnamese women aspect similar her? Well, you'll faint if y'all ever encounter how beautiful the women are inwards Ho Chi Minh.
15. [+4, -1] My work is that if content to a greater extent than or less Korea does well, thence people are going to assume this is Korea's image. If they utilization a South East Asian actress to play a Korean role, Americans volition merely assume that's what Koreans aspect like, when in that place are clear facial differences. They convey darker skin, too. Were in that place actually no other Korean actors to cast instead?
