What's everyone's take on Bobby Lee's (from Mad TV) accent when he speaks Korean? I've always thought it to be pretty poor, but being no real judge of accents in Korean, I can't really call it.

They were mostly 3rd-generation Chinese American, it would seem, and the fake "accent" (since they would have spoken straight-up American English in reality) was always a hundred miles off a Korean accent.

The two's whole backstory is straight out of a typical soap opera: the contemptuous hotel-owning boss; elite daughter hooked up with Harvard (?)-educated boss's son—it falls apart—she falls in love with the doorman.... If only they'd actually shot it in Seoul instead of LA, it might have been quite authentic (er, for a Korean drama, that is: not for real life)! Origami, that’s a good point.

I'll say this though... this is a far cry from the m*a*s*h days when you'd pick up anyone who looked remotely asian to play Korean folks. haha. dunno if it’s too late to respond or whatever

I don't believe the the ladies who play Koreans on that show are Koreans. It's weird though, the only Asians you see on TV these days seems to be Koreans for some reason. Seems like lot to the writers on those TV shows are big K-Drama fans. They're actually doing K-Drama on "LOST" with that Korean couple.
