Reading this topic... what is the difference with "Why Western men (any western countries) fan over Asian actress particularly Japanese actresses?" It's just individual preference, right?


There is a difference. Asian women are generally regarded as very attractive by all ethnic backgrounds. You don't need to be into Asian dramas to be attracted to them. In fact, some of my western friends consider Asian women to be the most beautiful in the world and they don't even know Asian dramas exist.

As for Asian men.....honestly, only the die hard drama fans find them attractive Tongue

Most women find genuinely hot Asian men attractive. I'm pretty sure that any hot Korean actor would pull chicks left and right if he lived in Europe.

The problem is, most European girls (at the very least where I am from) have never seen really hot Asian men before. Thus the idea never enters their mind and the average-joe Asians are too easily dismissed.

Edit: Since I've already said the very same thing in another thread, I'll make this post more interesting with this additional thought:

I think a very big reason why a lot of people are more attracted to Asian idols is because, looking at Hollywood, one major flaw presents itself. While men like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp may all be hot, the one reason why I can't fangirl over them like I can over Asian idols is because all three of them are now old, married or divorced and family fathers.

Asian idols, on the other hand, are pretty much all young, unmarried, childless and scandal-free (maybe they do have scandals - but I personally never read any and it seems to me like their private lifes are generally more private than that of Western stars). The idols that are older or married and with children don't really star in romance dramas/movies anymore.

Personally, that's a big reason why I prefer Asian actors and the Asian entertainment scene.

True. Fangirling over fourty year olds is not really my cup of tea. However, I do often find that when I look up the names of Asian actors, they're actually 27 year old, whereas they play 18 year olds in dramas and look like teenagers as well. That sometimes ruins it for me.

Yeah, many really don't seem to age after a certain common age - and before another one, because they always become old eventually. I don't quite know the reason for this. Perhaps they've got more fat in their faces, so wrinkles won't start appearing until later.

Its great that thy're all 22-27 when playing highschoolers... I don't feel quite so dirty. Has given me an unhealthy attraction to boys school uniforms though. (Resolves never to work in a High School).

That's nothing special about Asian TV. That's all TV. I can name dozens of shows where people who are sooooo not teenagers played them on TV.... from several different countries not including Asia.

Very true. Though for some reason Asian actors and actresses manage to convince me they're teenagers, because they look so young. And when watching the OC, One Tree Hill or something in that direction I find it easy to see that those "teenagers" are close to becoming thirty.
