Asian guy catfishes white woman. She surprise visits him and finds out he isn't the white hunk she thought. Then he helps her attract some white guy in town that she develops a crush

.......unless this movie ends with her falling in love with the Asian guy, this movie is kinda fucked up.

Sometimes people are just Asian. Not everything is a statement about race.

Edit: also according to Wikipedia the "white hunk" is of Japanese descent so lol you.

Maybe. But since Hollywood has a very long history of denying romance plots to Asian men, especially to a white woman... its kinda suspicious

This, the actor (who plays the character that catfishes the woman) is a talented comedic performer with a nerdy look so it makes sense for them to inhabit this role.

Still a gross premise but not necessarily racist imo.

I think it doesn't help that Jimmy O. Yang is the Asian guy. They made his brother in the movie a handsome Asian guy with a hot girl.

ok i fucked up. I don't know why I didn't notice the hunky guy was Asian. Guess I was focused on the main guy in the trailer. I think they only show the hunky guy like once in the whole trailer for like 3 seconds

Okay I looked it up because I thought maybe you actually had a point but A) the guy is a mix of a bunch of different things and B) does this look like your average Japanese man:


No wonder I thought he was white

I mean it seems obvious from the trailer that the protag and catfisher will end up together by the end anyway.

Love doesnt have to be perfect, it just has to be honest.

The movie is about her realizing she's actually in love with the nerdy Asian dude.

The fact the main character is catfishing this woman means he is a dishonest asshole. No relationship that lasts is built on dishonestly.

This type of movie is hardly original so you can predict the outcome with a high degree of accuracy.

That said, I really don't see how it specifically is fucking over Asian guys.

Which is why it only works in fantasy, and when people do that kind of thing in real life it never goes well.

For whatever it's worth he's in some other Netflix shows/movies too. They always play him as mixed race. His name is like Scott Yoshita-Jones in one of them.

I don't think CE could handle the realistic story they demand.

By some stroke of miracle an actual hot chick is using a hook up app thinking it is for building a lasting relationship. Chick sees chad on there, she wants the chad dick. She meets up with Chad and he gets it in. Through her persistence they build some kind of relationship. But Chad dude still hooking up with chicks on the app on the side. One day she sees his phone and sees that he is still on the app messaging girls. She questions him about it but he denys that he is still hooking up and is still just using it because he was 'bored'. She believes him and continues the relationship until a few months later catches him cheating on her. She is devastated and calls her nerd friend and says 'hey ugly, why do all men suck.' While nerd friend is just hoping girl can't hear him masturbating to her voice on the phone.

this might be the absolute biggest dealbreaker for people interested in watching the movie:
Natalie gives a speech telling the truth to everyone at the party, including Tag (who becomes upset at her betrayal, and then reminds her that Die Hard isn't a Christmas film)

it really takes a twisted mind to come up with bs like this...

harry shum jr is in that movie
he was the mike chang in glee and magnus bane in shadowhunters

here he is in glee singing a song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a-1PWr6VLc

he didnt get many songs cause he is just an average singer. he got a lot of dance solos though because harry shum jr was a professional dancer before being cast in glee and along with heather morris were the 2 best dancers on the show

and here he is in shadowhunters making out with matthew daddario
