Same. It is similar to me to the casting of Bridgerton.
If they are good and help diversify the super White fantasy worlds, who cares? Oh yeah the little boys and girls (err teens really) that aren't white reading/who have read who imagine their favorite characters looking like them.
It will...
I found a picture on Imdb of Kae with shorter hair. She isn't exactly what I pictured but I think she could be good.
I have faith, since Min is such a huge role, I think they have their reasoning.
