... are you guys not aware of the "they all look alike" cliché? Because even if I thought they all look alike (which I don't) I wouldn't say it out loud because I didn't want to sound super racist.

Aware, considered this example against my general ability to differentiate the faces of Chinese actors, decided that this was an unusual case worth commenting on.

Sometimes people do actually look similar to each other, though!

(For what it's worth, based on the photo, I do think the guys on the left and the right look somewhat similar to each other but very different from the guy in the middle)

I don't think they look exactly the same. But they look the same-ish. Because it's this media preference. I can't distinguish between a lot of American actors in TV shows too.
Also cdramas have this awful filter in every fucking show which makes actors look even more similar

There was a time about ten years back that I couldn't tell the pretty boys in American shows apart either. They all had the same high forehead and cheek bones, narrow faced, perma pout.

AYRT
I can't tell a lot of female characters apart in cheaper American TV shows, since they have all the same style and pretty similar features. And I can't tell ALL young actresses of my country apart. I need to see them in theatre or something

Nah, man. That's just you.

Lmfao they are all the pretty-boy type though. When I think variety, I think different body types, maybe a dude who actually looks older, or has facial hair.

So now we aren't allowed to say people look similar? Like I get that its a racist cliche, but sometimes people really do just look the same. People have been saying this about american show casting for years now too.

It did sound a bit racist because the actors look different. 1st has crooky facial features, the 2nd has the typical pretty boy face, the third has a chain cliff and narrow forehead. I mean it is diverse looks compared to other tv series.

nah, the thread is full on racist.

How is it racist? Please explain in full detail, and leave nothing out.

It's basically 'all Asians look the same'. The only anon getting a pass is the one that said they mix up Hollywood actors too.

these are emphatically the cdrama equivalent of hollywood actors for anybody though

I can tell them apart but they're emphatically the same very narrow type of pretty that is considered desirable right now in the cdrama sphere

and they do not SCRATCH the wild diversity of looks/body types/etc in "all Asians"

just because these three TV stars *are* all asian doesn't make "these three guys look the same" actually remotely related to "all asians look the same"

It is not. I watch a lot of cDrama and these guys are diverse in their looks. What do you want, blonde hair? Their faces are different, their builds, everything.

You sound like you put in a lot of effort into noticing miniscule differences, which I suppose is a wise decision if you don't want to be confused about who is who. Most people don't do that, though.

To other tv series in general? Or to other historical cdramas?

Because I think part of this is genre.

To daytime cdramas. In the past years all MLs started looking the same. The guys on the secret are different.

So you admit that while this might be more variety in appearance than is typical for daytime cdramas, it might also be much less variety in appearance than in other TV shows?

Eh? I'd even correct myself and say that people that are not used to kdramas and cdramas might have trouble seeing the differences. It sounds racist because it can be said in a degradatory manner. Knowing fs, it's 99% not racist, if we're being serious.

I can distinguish between this guys, but my reaction was DIFFERENT TYPES? They are different in a really really narrow way

Maybe you're racist idek.

Maybe you're an ass idek.

idek makes things ambiguous, I'll take it
