It wasn’t a fancy party and charter fantasy… The world of the rich Chinese

“Looking at Crazy Rich Asians, I thought it was just a fantasy story. But since I came to LA, I met Kane and his friends, and I learned that it’s a real world.”

The cast’s’roots’ are diverse. Korea, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam…but, by all means, the Chinese have the highest proportion. When it comes to so-called pan-Chinese (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.), there are the most Chinese performers.

Kevin, a Korean adoptee, indirectly experiences the splendid life of an Asian rich man in Los Angeles through his ‘chaebol friend’ Kane. Parties and charter boarding are routine, and they show off their wealth by posting photos of’FLEX’ on Instagram. The nerves between the socialite queens are also drawn, and they express themselves without hesitation.

They live in the United States, but Asian culture still remains for them. They celebrate the Lunar New Year, which is called’Chinese New Year’s Day,’ in the United States, and also organize a child’s 100-day feast. On holidays, a red envelope, a red envelope, is also delivered. When I have trouble, I lean on divination or shamanism, and as a Buddhist, I make an altar in my house and pray.

They cannot be free from the institutions and customs of Eastern society. Christine, the queen of social circles, gave birth to a son after enduring various procedures such as test tube babies for as many as 10 years to succeed. This is not the end. Now, the second round of conflict with her husband, who wants a second, begins.

Sheri of Chinese descent has two children with Jerry, who lives with her, but has not yet married. She and her friends seem to be unconstrained by Asian culture, but in reality, she and her friends are anxious about living together without going through marriage, and are not free from the eyes around them. In addition, there are episodes of those who seek to find their roots, who had been separated due to adoption as a child or divorce of their parents.

As the title implies, this reality is’bling bling’. Expensive jewelry, cars, and bustling parties show a different class of Asian rich people. However, they also have concerns. Parents, children, friends, and lovers are bothering and in pain. If you have been wandering for hours without knowing what to watch, it is a reality that is worth noting.
