"Faces are all the same"
Careful, your racism is showing.

If the casting pool has been as homogenized as Hollywood's has, then they are fine.

LBR there's certainly a type of actor with a certain type of look that is chosen to be the lead for most dramas i.e. extremely conventional pretty boys. Same with generic kpop/kdrama jpop/jdrama stars, both male and female. To get to people with non-conventional, or even remotely realistic-to-the-average looks you have to look elsewhere other than mainstream dramas, no matter the culture.

It's not any more racist to point that out than to point out that Hallmark movies all have the exact same type of interchangeable white guy too. All those casting choices are done on purpose.

I don't watch any cdramas or anything but I absolutely have this problem with western media and I'm white. One reason I like old British period films is all the people look different and like people rather than models.

Yep. Pretty sure this doesn't make anyone racist to point out.

HA, omg. Funny, though; of everyone in that picture, I really only see Matt Bomer as the 'good looking' one, though I can't figure out just why that is....

Oh god this.
A lot of (western) media make me think I am faceblind and I am not.

Also Chinese dramas not only use the same type of actors but they airbrush them to hell. Of course actors look the same, they are not allowed to have features.

I have this problem with youngish white man with dark hair in US TV!
