I didn’t want to write this or draw more attention to this reality show on Netflix, but many people have been asking about my skincare routine — I mean, my opinion of the show, and I also see it’s been in the top 10 of Netflix shows recently, so here we are. People are consuming the content. It is one of maybe 2/3 reality shows about Asian Americans in US media (there are more Asian, as in, from Asia, reality shows in US media). It’s important to gain perspective on the content people are consuming.
