Mentioned actors: Steven Yeun, Tim Jo, Hettienne Park

1. [+149, -3] I remember that scene when Glenn was asked if he was Chinese and he got pissed and shouted Korean!! He's a true Korean ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+153, -9] Such a huge difference in quality between American dramas and Korean dramas ㅋㅋ especially our scriptwriters, who only know how to write about secret births, wealthy families, and revenge..

3. [+150, -9] It doesn't matter... They only look Korean, they're American at heart.

4. [+129, -4] What's it matter if they're Korean

5. [+121, -1] I think Asian actors are definitely gaining more footing in Hollywood, though. In the past, the only roles they played were scientific geniuses or losers.

6. [+103, -3] I'm more proud of Korean brands being shown on American TV than Korean American actors. I spotted Hyundai cars in The Walking Dead, 24, and Burn Notice. Glenn also emphasizes that he's Korean in The Walking Dead and he's still alive while the rest of the cast is dying off. I think it helps that the show's main sponsor is Hyundai.

7. [+90, -3] There's no reason for Korean American actors to come to Korea to act. They receive much more money in America with better filming conditions.

8. [+72, -3] Forgot Sandra Oh from Gray's Anatomy

9. [+50, -1] Steven Yeun, hard to believe that face is in his 30s already. He's so cute when he's riding around in his sports car and evading zombies in The Walking Dead.

10. [58, -10] I don't know why it matters that they're Korean. They probably don't know the Korean language or our history anyway. They're only Korean in physical appearance.
