I'm sure Canada had it years ago
This can't be right. It's 2008. Apparently it's the first and it happened last night. But I can't really think of any (USA) Asian-American character couples on shows that kissed on national television outside of Jin and Sun from Lost and apparently they don't count because their characters are native Coreans so not American. I've seen it on movies but not on TV. I think there may have been one episode of Without a Trace but . . . hmmm, the couple did have a problem because the girl's partner was a closet homosexual so I guess no kissing there. Soap operas? Damn.
But if I see an Asian American on tv, she or he is usually coupled with a non-asian.
Anyway, Miranda Otto's in this series and unfortunately doesn't use a broadsword like she did in RotK to kill anybody else in the show. It sucks. Bring back Pushing Daisies and The Office!
From AngryAsianMan.com:
What in the world... can this really be? Lucy Liu's character on Cashmere Mafia, Mia, romantically involved with an Asian man? A real, flesh-and-blood Asian American man? That's Lucy Liu and Jack Yang as Jason Chun, who appeared on Wednesday night's episode.
Before you get all excited, here's a little story background. Their parents on the show apparently set them up on a blind date. Jason says he's not really into Chinese girls, and Mia admits she's only dated two Chinese guys before-back in junior high. But Mia decides to use him to make her ex (white guy) jealous. Somehow, the two end up actually digging each other. And kiss.
Kiss! Can this be television history before our eyes? Several people have written in claiming that is the first time two Asian American characters have been shown kissing on prime time network television. Can this be right? I've been wracking my brain for the last half hour and haven't been able to come up with anything. If anyone can think of a reasonable example that proves otherwise, let me know. I'm curious. Anyway, Jack Yang is slated to appear for another two episodes... which probably means the relationship won't last very long.
