you will see that son dambi did have a very small role in an old korean comedy show, that does (kinda) count as acting lol i guess~

Because Dennis O is joining her in that film, and he both speaks English and has acting experience. And yet, I still feel compelled to burst out laughing. (I meant good acting experience?)

this line literally had me bust out laughing…dennis oh is sucha horrible actor and honestly who the heck is pushing son dambi into the spotlight? that girl has good back…

gaahh.. well. i know dennis oh looks mighty fine.
acting isnt just really his thing.
maybe modeling?

well if ur in the mood for eye candy..
then this would be it..

i agree with everyone who says DH is getting to be better at acting.
his korean is decent too, i think.
but im not really sure if native korean speakers think that.

it’s like they’re trying to rope in every good-looking B-list korean person they can find and afford. Hopefully acting in an American film will make him more comfortable and natural in his acting. I wonder if they will make him dance. Dennis O is best playing the passive, prince charming. I can’t imagine him in a hardcore American movie about breakdancing and drugs.

“I wonder if they’re just going to gloss over the obvious fact that Sohn is full Korean and Dennis is half. And will they explain why one sibling speaks poor English and perfect Korean, while the other speaks perfect English and poor Korean?”—> i wonder about this too. maybe they will say they’re half siblings/stepsiblings/adopted siblings/separated for years- so as to explain why one sibling is a baddie and the other good. I hope they have some Korean guys playing “good guys”. I would be pissed if they made the korean girl a good person and all the korean guys bad- further emphasizing how asian guys get the short end of the stick iin entertainment industry.

“I don’t know why Hollywood doesn’t utilize Asian-Americans who are a) Asian, and b) can speak English perfectly. (They certainly have no problem utilizing part-Asians who grew up in the United States.) For Asians-who-look-100%-Asian, the entertainment industries usually seem to look abroad in the native countries for talent prospects. I wonder why…” —> I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS. Hollywood seems to forget that there are lots of Asian-looking people in the US- who can speak perfect English and can act. Whenever they import an actor/actress from Asia, I can’t help but think that an Asian-American actor could have perfectly fit the bill. Asian-Americans are trying to be heard not only over the non-Asians in the industry, but also over the Asians-from-Asia.
