When my daughter was young, she and I were hooked on the Japanese stories on TV.
There was a Japanese restaurant near us and we would have a long lunch, mesmerized
by the unfolding Japanese soap opera constantly running on their TV.

I had lived in Japan as a child so could explain Japanese customs and traditions to her.

I lived in South Korea for three years, (in the military) and fortunately have had ties to the Korean-American community since. It has been so rewarding to learn about the far east. I have to say that a few of the dramas have been mesmerizing, and its been a refuge from the daily news cycle.

Yes I have Asian friends, eat asian foods frequently, make rice in my rice cooker, etc.

Yes, Asian actors are intense, dramatic, and draw their audience in right away.
