A quote from a friend of hers in the story: "What makes Sandy distinctive is that she's successful as she is without pandering to the white image of what an Asian should look like. Most Asian women we see onscreen have had their eyelids done. She hasn't decided to have the surgery to look like a Caucasian Asian."
Another reason why I like Oh.
I wonder who has had their eyes done.
