For what I've learned about, Asian countries have very similar beauty standards for both men and women whereas Western cultures have very different criteria depending on gender. Elves as conceived by Tolkien definitely follow the more unisex beauty standard but Hollywood does not so the movies end up being a bit of a mish-mash.

It's everything to do with how the beauty standards differ in each country and the fact that what's considered 'masculine' means completely different things from a cultural context as well. Hollywood doesn't consider pretty-boys to be bankable, while in China(and Korea) they are. It's as simple as that.

It's why there is often kind of a disconnect with Japanese shows and games where you have the "flamboyant pretty boy who is a womanizer" character type. It tends to read "gay stereotype" for western audiences instead so a lot of people find it strange that they're supposed to be these super het chick magnets.
