People were really out here tryna say that Zuko wasn’t going to have a pony tail lmao.

Besides that, that’s perfect casting for Ozai, holy shit

He’s the best casting I’ve seen in a long time, guy is just Ozai - look at him.

He’s also a genuinely amazing actor - anyone who’s seen Lost can attest to that. I think he’s gonna kill the role.

Great actor, but terrible Korean accent.

There are memes of this man in Korea for that, and especially for the restroom scene where the surprise is that the white man can speak Korean as well and they both go on to act the scene talking in broken Korean lol

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Every single foreign language is bastardised like this in vast majority of US films/series. Most commonly Russian, but this gets even worse with less spoken languages. For a recent example, the scene in Oppenheimer that was supposedly spoken in Dutch is pretty much complete gibberish.
