I believe there's always been some sort of interest in HK towards Asian mixes (Michelle Reis Lee, Maggie Q, etc). I think she is pretty, but she's not unique and "striking" enough, and she doesn't make up for that in her poses and expressions. Those Maxim pictures did not flatter her wide forehead at all. At the risk of sounding totally crude, she looks like a psycho dragon-lady. I guess it's a nice break from the "lotus-blossom" look that Lin Chiling is always trying to give off. I don't like Lin Chiling either, she look so...typical.
