Han in the movie is portrayed as Japanese character. Although... he looks nothing Japanese. ;o

I don't know, but it always angers me to see Asians playing other cultural roles, assuming the audience won't care.
I've still never seen Memoirs of a Geisha because of this reason. Seeing Korean or Chinese play Japanese is just bad taste to me, personally. Plenty of actors and actresses that can play the roles that are actually the ethnicity they're portraying.
However, if the main point of the movie isn't about exploiting that main character's ethnicity and the actor doesn't match up, as in Han's case, I'm totally fine with it since it's just a popcorn movie. I call it "Titanic Mode". I just watch it to get what I need out of it for those few, key moments in the film.
